"Tvrdím, že se už delší dobu nacházíme ve třetí světové válce, která začala nenápadně v roce 2014 ruskou okupací ukrajinského Krymu. Jen jsme si jejího začátku tady na Západě diplomaticky nevšimli. Jsme žába vařící se v hrnci." Tato slova @JanDobrovsky bych mohl podepsat. Velice doporučuji rozhovor, který s ním vedl @Europaeanus https://t.co/sRUArIE2h1 #TřetíSvětováVálka #KrymskáKrize #Geopolitika

🤯Kdo je pravzaprav naša Nataša? Mislili smo, da vemo. Odvetnica, informacijska pooblaščenka, obraz z RTV. Potem pa je bilo dovolj eno trčenje v predoru Kastelec, da se je začela sestavljati druga biografija. In ta se ne bere kot življenjepis predsednice članice NATA. Bere se kot ljubezenski roman, skoraj kot vohunski roman. Podjetje se imenuje Ruska dača. Vila v ruskem slogu, obnovljena tudi z državnim sofinanciranjem turizma. Isto podjetje je nekoč organiziralo potovanja po Rusiji, vodnik je bil njen mož, ona pa je o križarjenju po Volgi objavila potopis, v katerem piše, da sta jo prostranost in lepota Rusije navdušili. Poslovna sodelavka od leta 2010 je ruska državljanka. Ista ruska državljanka je bila leta 2022 njena soigralka pri bovlingu in državna prvakinja. Ista ruska državljanka je 1. avgusta 2026 sedela na zadnjem sedežu predsedniškega kombija. In ista ruska državljanka ima od leta 2016 slovenski potni list, čeprav je predsednica leta 2022 povedala, da ga nima in da ji ni znano, da bi zanj prosila. In ne vemo kako ga je dobila, ker je bila prej kazensko obsojena. Zdaj pa naj kdo sešteje 1+1 in mi pojasni, zakaj ravno v tej biografiji ni niti ene same asociacije, ki bi kazala proti zahodu. Jaz jo od tega tedna kličem Natjaša. Volga, banja, cesarska večerja, dača. To ni geopolitika, to je romanca. Samo v romanci se navadno ne pojavlja vrhovni poveljnik obrambnih sil članice Nata. Ta se pojavlja v vohunskih spletkah. Ker je tu drobna podrobnost, ki jo v tem tednu vsi elegantno preskakujejo. Slovenija je članica Evropske unije in Nata. Evropa je z Rusijo v spopadu, ki ni razglašen, je pa popolnoma resničen. V Rusiji vsi vedo, da so v spopadu z Natom. V EU se delamo slepe. Sankcije, hibridni napadi, dezinformacije, sabotaže, kibernetika. Ta konflikt se je začel februarja 2022. Deset mesecev kasneje smo za vrhovno poveljnico obrambnih sil izvolili gospo z družinsko dačo, potopisom z Volge in rusko poslovno partnerko. Tajming, ki bi ga vsaka resna varnostna služba opremila vsaj z opombo pod črto. Ne trdim, da je agentka. Nimam dokazov in nihče jih nima. Trdim, da vrhovni poveljnik obrambnih sil države, ki je v konfliktu z Rusijo, ne bi smel biti človek, ob katerem se to vprašanje sploh lahko postavi. To ni vprašanje lojalnosti. To je vprašanje higiene. Predsednik ni le funkcija, je znak, in znaki so v obrambi vse. Prav zato ima vsaka resna država protokol, ki takšne stvari prepreči, preden postanejo tema. In zato na koncu ne sprašujem več, kdo je Natjaša. To zdaj vemo. #Geopolitika #Slovenija #NATO
The article analyzes the complex conflicts in Mali, which have become a key geopolitical point between the West and Russia, as President Trump considers the possibility of U.S. airstrikes on Islamist groups in this country, which has transformed from a stable state into a hotspot for jihadist terrorism.

But aside from humor. If the West helped to create an army in Ukraine that surpasses its own armed forces in combat capabilities and technologies, then this is something to seriously consider. Russia does not have to remain the only rival for Ukraine in the future.🤷🏻♂️ (translated)
