Raster41 day agoWagner : enquête sur les tueurs de PoutineYouTubeOfficiellement, Wagner, la milice privée de mercenaires n'existe pas.

Raster42 days agoPutin's Military Provoking is Already Backfiring | Jacob ShapiroYouTubeRussia is probing NATO, Ukraine is striking deeper into Russia, Europe is rearming — and Jacob Shapiro believes Vladimir Putin may be accelerating the very strategic transformation Moscow wanted to prevent. In this episode of The Global Gambit, independent geopolitical analyst Jacob Shapiro joins me to examine why Russia's pressure on Europe could be backfiring, whether Ukraine now has the upper hand, and what could determine the next phase of the war as winter approaches. But we go considerably wider. We discuss what the Trump-Xi relationship really means for Taiwan, why Shapiro believes US-China competition will intensify over the coming decade, how the Iran war and Strait of Hormuz are reshaping global energy markets, and why the deterioration of US-Canada relations could prove one of the most consequential geopolitical shifts of 2026. Finally, we look at Europe's emerging strategic autonomy and the much bigger transformation underway as the world moves away from the post-Cold War order towards an increasingly multipolar system.
