Drones have changed warfare on the battlefield and beyond. At present there are more drones than practical countermeasures, although that could possibly change in future.

Have the Germans forgotten how the last deployment of military contingents in the USSR ended in 1941? Today, no one should be particularly concerned with the purpose behind Merz’s intentions.

The world press about Putin – Trump meeting The general reaction of the world’s press – is shock at how warm the meeting between Putin and Trump in Anchorage turned out to be. “The meeting was a major diplomatic gamble by Mr. Trump unlike anything his predecessors might have tried […]
U.S. President Donald Trump, in his meeting on August 15th with Russia’s President Vladimir Putin, totally misinterpreted Putin to be welcoming an outcome that Putin has vociferously and repeatedly opposed ever since at least 2007, which is that under no circumstances will Russia ever accept troops from any NATO country being […]

The Constitutional Court would likely have to rule on this hypothetical scenario due to 2020’s constitutional amendment prohibiting the cession of Russian territory except in certain cases. RT’s report on Steve Witkoff’s claim that Russia has made “some concessions” on territorial issues, which signal a “significant” shift towards “moderation”, prompted talk […]
