Gavin Williamson at RUSI

London (United Kingdom) | 11 February 2019
Transforming UK Defence to Meet the Global Threats of Tomorrow
Malcolm [Chalmers] thank you so much for having hosting this event here today at RUSI. It’s a real privilege and honour to be able to come along.
It’s important to start off by asking the question why do we fight? It is fundamentally, to protect our people, protect our interests, and, of course, to defend Britain.
As a nation, we’ve never shied away from acting even if that has meant standing alone as we did in the darkest hours (...)

High chance that Iran has built precision missiles in Syria

High chance that Iran has built precision missiles in Syria

9 February 2019
According to Israeli Channel 12, Iran has constructed a factory to build precision missiles at Safita, a district of Latakia (Syria).
The Israeli Press assumes that these missiles – if the information is correct – are meant for the Lebanese Resistance to use to threaten Tel-Aviv (which has attacked Lebanon several times and continues to violate its air space and territorial waters). This information comes just as the Guardians of the Iranian Revolution announced that they have Hoveizeh (...)

NATO Statement on Russia’s failure to comply with the Intermediate-Range Nuclear Forces (INF) Treaty

NATO Statement on Russia's failure to comply with the Intermediate-Range Nuclear Forces (INF) Treaty

Brussels (Belgium) | 1 February 2019
Following nearly six years of U.S. and Allied engagement with Russia, on 4 December 2018, NATO Allies declared that Russia has developed and fielded a missile system, the 9M729, which violates the INF Treaty, and poses significant risks to Euro-Atlantic security. Allies strongly supported the finding of the United States that Russia is in material breach of its obligations under the INF Treaty and called upon Russia to urgently return to full and verifiable compliance.
Since that (...)

Russian comment on the new US Missile Defence Review

Russian comment on the new US Missile Defence Review

Moscow (Russia) | 18 January 2019
A new Missile Defence Review was released by the United States on January 17. The content of this document is bound to evoke serious concern. It is openly confrontational and once again demonstrates Washington’s goal of achieving undivided military supremacy in the world and the ability to conduct with impunity military operations in defence of its interests in any part of the globe. In this context the document continues the policy described in the US National Security Strategy and the (...)

Anti-air protection fails to stop Israel bombing a target in Syria

Anti-air protection fails to stop Israel bombing a target in Syria

2 January 2019
Christmas Day (2018): Tsahal managed to bomb a target in Syria despite new anti-air protection. This is the second time that the aeronautical military is operating in Syria following the deployment of the S-300 missiles, state-of-the-art missiles and the coordination system: Polyana D4M1.
The Israeli planes fired missiles from Lebabon’s air space in the direction of an airport in the capital of Syria, just as the city was celebrating the birth of Christ for the first time since the end (...)

The Japanese Army is now as strong as it was in the Second World War

Bucharest (Romania) | 21 December 2018
Like Germany, Japan has recovered the right to hold a genuine army. But, in contrast to Berlin, which lacks modest plans, Tokyo has gradually built up specific military equipment and modern weapons that allow it to project itself as a military power, anywhere in the world.

Operation “Timber Sycamore” continues

Operation “Timber Sycamore” continues

14 December 2018
Operation “Timber Sycamore”, initiated by President Barack Obama was privatized a little before the election of President Donald Trump. It is now coordinated by the investment fund KKR (established by Henry Kravis and whose military activities are led by the former head of the CIA, General David Petraeus).
“Timber Sycamore” is the most important arms trafficking operation in History. It involves at least 17 governments. The transfer of weapons, meant for jihadist organizations, is carried out (...)

The USA is preparing for a confrontation with Russia and China

Rome (Italy) | 13 December 2018
The US Commission on the National Defense Strategy was created in 2017 in order to provide Congress with some expertise on the subject. However, its principal source of information is the US Institute of Peace, the equivalent of the NED for the Secretary of Defense. As a result, its bipartisan attitude is in reality the point of view that the Pentagon wants to defend via the Democrat and Republican Parties.

New US Nuclear Missiles Will Be Deployed In NATO Countries To Hit Moscow?

Bucharest (Romania) | 30 November 2018
NATO’s Trident Junction 18 exercise took place in Norway in late October and early November and was the largest Western exercise since 1980. It was the first exercises, in the winter conditions in the Arctic zone, after the announcement of United States to withdraw from the INF Treaty. It is likely NATO would to open a second front against Russia in the Arctic, in addition to the Baltic region. The purpose of this Arctic ballistic corridor is to facilitate the naval and air offensive against (...)

When you want to sanction States, you call them « terrorists »

Damascus (Syria) | 27 November 2018
The new unilateral sanctions by the United States against Iran, Russia and Syria add to the previous actions concerning the same three targets. They now form the most unforgiving embargo in History. The way in which they have been organised is illegal according to the definition of the Charter of the United Nations – these are weapons of war, designed for killing.

From 1945 until today - 20 to 30 million people killed by the USA

Rome (Italy) | 20 November 2018
It’s a fact, not an analysis, not even an opinion – the « free and open international order» promoted since 1945 by the United States has cost the lives of 20 to 30 million people throughout the world. No President, whoever he may be, has managed to slow the rhythm of this killing machine.

Fact: Russia has repeatedly changed its cover story regarding its violating missile, and this claim represents only the latest iteration.

Donald Trump, Moscow’s Providential Man

Donald Trump, Moscow's Providential Man

Bucharest (Romania) | 13 November 2018
How did President Donald Trump react to the news that the Russian hypersonic nuclear missile Avangard was up and ready? He announced that his country would withdraw from the INF Treaty. So, instead of making a plan to catch up and quickly developing hypersonic missiles, he intends to reassemble the US medium range nuclear missile arsenal.
Valentin Vasilescu observes that the United States is no longer manufacturing motors for this type of missile and is using Russian motors for its Atlas V rockets. Conclusion: Moscow has gained yet another advantage over Washington.

International Coalition massacres Syrian civilians with banned weapons

On instructions from my Government and further to our letters regarding the targeting of innocent Syrian civilians by the illegitimate “international coalition” led by the United States, I should like to convey to you the following:
The illegitimate “international coalition” led by the United States of America continues to commit crimes against innocent Syrian civilians. Over the past few days, coalition warplanes continued bombarding homes in the city of Hajin, Dayr al-Zawr Governorate, with (...)

“A New Nuclear Arms Race Has Begun”

“A New Nuclear Arms Race Has Begun”

Moscow (Russia) | 26 October 2018
Over 30 years ago, President Ronald Reagan and I signed in Washington the United States-Soviet Treaty on the elimination of intermediate- and shorter-range missiles. For the first time in history, two classes of nuclear weapons were to be eliminated and destroyed.
This was a first step. It was followed in 1991 by the Strategic Arms Reduction Treaty, which the Soviet Union signed with President George H.W. Bush, our agreement on radical cuts in tactical nuclear arms, and the New Start (...)

The White House prepares the return of the Euromissiles

Rome (Italy) | 24 October 2018
The announcement that "Trump breaks the historic nuclear treaty with Moscow" - the Intermediate-Range Nuclear Forces Treaty (INF) - was no surprise. Now, however, it is official. To understand the scope of this act, we should review the historical context from which the INF Treaty was born.
The president of the United States, Ronald Reagan, and the president of the USSR, Mikhail Gorbachev, signed the INF in Washington, on Dec. 8, 1987, after having agreed on it the year before at the (...)

Polemics with CNBC on the Russian hypersonic missiles

Bucharest (Romania) | 19 October 2018
In reaction to the article by Valentin Vasilescu revealing that in theory Russia could sink US airplane carriers as they crossed the Gibralta straits, the Pentagon has had a documentary published through CNBC. The US news channel’s thesis is that Russian missile Avangard would not be able operate. However to our minds, the basis for this assertion does not work.

Kuwait calls on Turkey to set up a military base on Kuwaiti territory

19 October 2018
The recent voyage to Kuwait of Saudi Crown Prince, Mohamed ben Salmane, has deeply troubled Kuwait’s leaders.
During his visit, the Crown Prince proposed establishing borders between the two countries by annexing oil fields (Khafji and Wafra) which have barely been exploited.
This is exactly the same line he took with Yemen, before exploding it with a war.
Concerned lest he upset the Saudi Kingdom, the Emir of Kuwait Sheikh Sabah al-Ahmad al-Jabir al-Sabah, well reputed for following the (...)

Russia can sink all airplane-carriers navigating in East Greenland

Russia can sink all airplane-carriers navigating in East Greenland

Bucharest (Romania) | 14 October 2018
In his previous article, Valentin Vasilescu demonstrated that it was impossible for the Pentagon to establish an anti-Russian blockade in the Mediterranean nor anywhere else. In this article, he applies his thesis and he shows us that the US no longer has the capacity to lead a naval war against Russia in East Greenland. Moscow has already demonstrated the superiority of its weapons on the ground in Syria. Even if the clash between the two Great Powers has been avoided with care, what is clear, is that today, Russia no longer fears the possibility of a conventional US attack.

Pentagon's plan: transformation of cereal fields into GMOs

8 October 2018
The journal Science has published a DARPA (Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency) research study on “Insect Allies” . It appears that the Pentagon has in mind infecting insects with viruses capable of implanting genes in fields of cereals that have arrived at maturity. This would allow the Pentagon to transform normal plants into genetically modified plants.
Researchers at the Max Planck Institute (Germany) and the University of Montpelier (France) consider that this technique could (...)

Implication of creating a modern integrated management of the Syrian air space

Bucharest (Romania) | 8 October 2018
The new Russian system of integrated management of data on the Syrian battlefield, is not uniquely conceived to prevent Israeli aggressions. It also makes it impossible for the United States and France to provide air support for their illegal bases in Syria. This is why, anticipating defeat, Ambassador James Jeffrey has called for US occupation forces to be withdrawn.
