Russia is among the world leaders in EW and its warfighting capabilities in this regard are a source of pride for the Eurasian giant, <a href="https://georgetownsecuritystudiesreview.org/2019/06/26/the-russian-edge-in-electronic-warfare/">but also fear for its adversaries</a>.

The case shows once again how unfavorable the military scenario of the conflict is for the Ukrainian forces.<span></span><a href="https://www.netnewscy.com/2023/04/kiev-to-run-out-of-its-anti-air-missiles.html#more">Continue Reading»</a>Unknownnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1548827223808101903.post-59981328917070761902023-04-11T16:43:00.007+03:002023-04-11T16:43:55.539+03:00Taiwan in the age of Neo-McCarthyism<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi2Q3zthvBH_9tufRFkXGQDW98a2sOIUFDc_nUyYInDXHhdyPnx5CMvRl28K_lh4-NUF1iNsY26ItzmNbZ9FxATBbb2qJsoyzfn_WPUSFfYwuZHnjyPGB0IxIulxJjBnJFLLQBUcA1xzPJY8UeOw-5IvqInbI8fmP-8cpgY4nbcTXxizNNm3B33qvpEuw/s2000/C%20McCarthy%20Taiwan.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1333" data-original-width="2000" height="213" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi2Q3zthvBH_9tufRFkXGQDW98a2sOIUFDc_nUyYInDXHhdyPnx5CMvRl28K_lh4-NUF1iNsY26ItzmNbZ9FxATBbb2qJsoyzfn_WPUSFfYwuZHnjyPGB0IxIulxJjBnJFLLQBUcA1xzPJY8UeOw-5IvqInbI8fmP-8cpgY4nbcTXxizNNm3B33qvpEuw/s320/C%20McCarthy%20Taiwan.jpg" width="320"></a></div><br>McCarthyism, otherwise known as the so-called (Second) "Red Scare", is officially defined as "the repression and persecution of left-wing individuals and a campaign spreading fear of alleged communist and socialist influence on American institutions and of Soviet espionage in the United States during the late 1940s through the 1950s". The policy was spearheaded by a Republican US Senator Joseph McCarthy, but while he was the most prominent proponent of this internal (and foreign) policy approach, he most certainly wasn't the only one. And although the term McCarthyism is largely considered obsolete and/or outdated nowadays, as the role of one individual in such a massive nationwide policy framework is obviously overstated, it stuck and now even includes additional definitions and changes.<span></span><a href="https://www.netnewscy.com/2023/04/taiwan-in-age-of-neo-mccarthyism.html#more">Continue Reading»</a>Unknownnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1548827223808101903.post-84633155145871434522023-04-11T16:42:00.005+03:002023-04-11T16:42:31.870+03:00Macron’s visit to China shows non-alignment may have come to Europe<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEilat4tzDmN2naT-ZMi9fUkpfSvlkka7thmR8gYKJi7dx5L4y9YNPTRE_IF4XYpRYXnY0eDRBbxsLirjcd5QSdMAOrYWSDE9YtT6tB7zkfOgKMvP4QQCsKVcFOWJTZAKcrxVvADafRlHa4gX4VQ3h3zoXTAxuTpy5JnJVc8OC3rbscNcFkYwW-1c0Itpg/s1200/China%20Macron%20.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="720" data-original-width="1200" height="192" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEilat4tzDmN2naT-ZMi9fUkpfSvlkka7thmR8gYKJi7dx5L4y9YNPTRE_IF4XYpRYXnY0eDRBbxsLirjcd5QSdMAOrYWSDE9YtT6tB7zkfOgKMvP4QQCsKVcFOWJTZAKcrxVvADafRlHa4gX4VQ3h3zoXTAxuTpy5JnJVc8OC3rbscNcFkYwW-1c0Itpg/s320/China%20Macron%20.jpg" width="320"></a></div><br>French President Emmanuel Macron, leading a large delegation, and accompanied by European Commission chief Ursula von der Leyen, arrived in China last week on April 5 for his three-day state visit.

There, American geopolitical interests intertwine with <a href="http://infobrics.org/post/34703/">geoeconomic</a> ones, and with private interests. Going further back, US journalist Seymour M. Hersh argued, in his 1997 book “The Dark Side of Camelot”, that organized crime played a role in John Kennedy’s 1960 election. University of Wisconsin–Madison historian Alfred W. McCoy, and diplomat Peter Dale Scott have written scholarly books on CIA involvement in drug trafficking, including in the Iran-Contra affair.

Importantly though, this election will determine whether Turkey will continue its course towards Eurasianism, or revert back completely to the NATO bloc.<span></span><a href="https://www.netnewscy.com/2023/04/turkeys-2023-election-choice-between.html#more">Continue Reading»</a>Unknownnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1548827223808101903.post-73703258408999503532023-04-06T13:37:00.001+03:002023-04-06T13:37:02.151+03:00Kiev receives financial aid in order to accept its inability to join NATO<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiJSa913XgupZdr4qHd1Pefq9CHVjMD4gbIy0JpjBci8m0tTs8sH6XXKQHsUKiht7uSaMDc9XYDiieHYEiW3wJa2oW5bQwtqr6WWn1Fh1VsJRvhunIPKwb0bzKRy_xl7R6MisEqUyNdxf3RULAJfMk9j3JE3glX5rv6VpJg7yPobKqABFEfNi2x09WzRA/s774/C%20NATO%20Ukraine.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="440" data-original-width="774" height="182" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiJSa913XgupZdr4qHd1Pefq9CHVjMD4gbIy0JpjBci8m0tTs8sH6XXKQHsUKiht7uSaMDc9XYDiieHYEiW3wJa2oW5bQwtqr6WWn1Fh1VsJRvhunIPKwb0bzKRy_xl7R6MisEqUyNdxf3RULAJfMk9j3JE3glX5rv6VpJg7yPobKqABFEfNi2x09WzRA/s320/C%20NATO%20Ukraine.jpg" width="320"></a></div><br>According to a leading western newspaper, Kiev is receiving money to lessen its discontent with the fact that it will certainly not join NATO. Despite constant military and financial aid, the alliance prefers to avoid formal links with Kiev, which guarantees it a comfortable position in the partnership, being able to "abandon" the Ukrainian side in the conflict at any time. Obviously, this shocks some more nationalist sectors of the Ukrainian state, generating a wave of indignation that the West tries to reverse through bribery.<span></span><a href="https://www.netnewscy.com/2023/04/kiev-receives-financial-aid-in-order-to.html#more">Continue Reading»</a>Unknownnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1548827223808101903.post-35554639833280421402023-04-04T18:05:00.007+03:002023-04-04T18:05:54.783+03:00Japan ignoring price cap, paying 16% more for Russian oil<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgthYwR_T6yLM83lZXLqX_mmmFW0zMkaqxPnfzwV34dExX0uCRageU4NqpPeyrP7HVMAa0z_ysF2NRPtZsTKosEnBNP3UN57gvVCbZajvyrOXmvPLXTOen9HE7Ro_INwE50Mlxkv2abiF4dCXtyOzuzjz-sF6hCr4o2_T-GfC56EuQ2xU1MJuPgceCSvQ/s600/C%20Japan%20oil.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="450" data-original-width="600" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgthYwR_T6yLM83lZXLqX_mmmFW0zMkaqxPnfzwV34dExX0uCRageU4NqpPeyrP7HVMAa0z_ysF2NRPtZsTKosEnBNP3UN57gvVCbZajvyrOXmvPLXTOen9HE7Ro_INwE50Mlxkv2abiF4dCXtyOzuzjz-sF6hCr4o2_T-GfC56EuQ2xU1MJuPgceCSvQ/s320/C%20Japan%20oil.jpg" width="320"></a></div><br>On April 3, the Wall Street Journal reported that Japan, one of the most prominent US vassal states, is now buying Russian oil at prices significantly above the illegal US/EU cap, effectively breaking the sanctions imposed by the political West. <a href="https://www.wsj.com/articles/japan-breaks-with-u-s-allies-buys-russian-oil-at-prices-above-cap-1395accb">According to the report</a>, Japan also got Washington DC to agree to the exception, claiming that the move was aimed at maintaining the energy security of Japan.<span></span><a href="https://www.netnewscy.com/2023/04/japan-ignoring-price-cap-paying-16-more.html#more">Continue Reading»</a>Unknownnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1548827223808101903.post-41764397320761619012023-04-04T18:04:00.003+03:002023-04-04T18:04:40.541+03:00Western analysts do not understand psychological war behind Ukrainian frontlines<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgpo-mXZFOzHwet5Qr9uPLDF8X6nFAOR9QrUsauQw3pdRW3Nb3SryX_C5tu0uzqzIBZLZQh-a3Qm7V791rJQ8HHEb1XZdqD5GgXvClrjxUP3No03AAVFHiob1utA52yNJbhAgTJb6jPbBl8LFeeNNsYoOgirfQJVGNLwAuY5ETP2l1IJL8HdJzjScDCpw/s800/C%20Psy%20war.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="600" data-original-width="800" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgpo-mXZFOzHwet5Qr9uPLDF8X6nFAOR9QrUsauQw3pdRW3Nb3SryX_C5tu0uzqzIBZLZQh-a3Qm7V791rJQ8HHEb1XZdqD5GgXvClrjxUP3No03AAVFHiob1utA52yNJbhAgTJb6jPbBl8LFeeNNsYoOgirfQJVGNLwAuY5ETP2l1IJL8HdJzjScDCpw/s320/C%20Psy%20war.jpg" width="320"></a></div><br>In all situations of armed conflict, something that runs parallel to the fighting on the frontlines is the psychological clash, with both sides trying to exhibit force and intimidate the enemy to give up fighting. This constant attempt to morally defeat the opponent and end the "will to fight" is already beginning to be observed by some western analysts, who are writing reports on the psychological moves on the Ukrainian front.
