A chi mi chiede perche' non seguo i media italiani di solito rispondo che vivendo in Cina e occupandomi prevalentemente delle relazioni tra Asia e Europa, e del paese piu' grande del mondo che vi si trova in mezzo, non sento un grande bisogno di farlo. Per giunta gli affari esteri sono trattati da giornalisti che spesso si limitano a tradurre, riassumere, a volte stravolgere, quello che ho gia' letto prima in altre lingue. Ora che mi trovo in Italia per la pausa estiva ho deciso di dedicare un po' di tempo ai giornali italiani. Leggo cosi' che droni russi avrebbero colpito una citta' ucraina, Voronezh. L'ultima volta che ci sono stata era una citta' russa da secoli. Mi chiedo, da quando e' diventata ucraina?? Beh, sembra che i giornalisti italiani per navigare nel mare periglioso dell'informazione si affidino alla griglia interpretativa "Russi cattivi/Ucraini buoni" con effetti spesso surreali. Voronezh grazie al cielo e' ancora in Russia e guarda caso i droni che l'hanno colpita erano ucraini.@LauraRuHK

Dopo aver sospeso la sua partecipazione al CSTO, un'alleanza militare composta da Armenia, Bielorussia, Kazakistan, Kirghizistan, Russia e Tagikistan, "l'Armenia è più propensa a lasciare l'organizzazione che a riprendere la sua adesione", ha detto il Primo Ministro Nikol Pashinyan in una conferenza stampa.
Lo scorso dicembre, ha affermato che le relazioni tra l'Armenia e CSTO avevano superato il punto di non ritorno. (Fonte: TASS) ▪️Questo è ciò che hanno comprato centinaia di milioni di dollari in sovvenzioni e aiuti finanziari da Washington e Bruxelles. /channel/LauraRuHK/10302

The US wants to know what Japan and Australia would do in the event of a conflict over Taiwan. The question appears to have been asked behind closed doors but also appears to have been leaked exactly when Australia's Prime Minister Anthony Albanese is making a landmark official visit to China from Saturday to Friday. Obviously someone wanted to spoil it. Albanese declined to make a public commitment, alluding to the ‘strategic ambiguity’ about how the US itself would respond. @LauraRuHK

Yet another US provocation? Several Chinese media report that Julie Eadeh — who was a political counselor at the U.S. Consulate General in Hong Kong during the failed colour revolution that rocked the city in 2019-20 — is now being considered for the post of US Consul General in Hong Kong. In her previous role she was caught on camera briefing leaders of the sedition such as Joshua Wong and Nathan Law in a hotel. @LauraRuHK

Trump ha trasformato il sostegno militare degli Stati Uniti e i dazi sulle importazioni in una merce di scambio. Washington continuerà a fornire a Kiev sistemi d'arma sia difensivi che offensivi fin tanto che i vassalli dell'UE pagano. E se questi ultimi osano tergiversare, saranno colpiti da dazi più alti.
Secondo la Reuters, il pacchetto potrebbe includere missili Patriot difensivi e razzi a medio raggio. Finora l'amministrazione Trump aveva inviato solo armi autorizzate dall'ex presidente Joe Biden. Ora, per la prima volta da quando è ritornato in carica, Trump invierà armi a Kiev in base alla Presidential Drawdown Authority, un potere presidenziale spesso utilizzato dal suo predecessore, che consente al presidente degli Stati Uniti di “attingere dalle scorte di armi per aiutare gli alleati in caso di emergenza”. Gli Stati Uniti hanno ancora 3,86 miliardi di dollari di Presidential Drawdown Authority per l'Ucraina. L'ultimo prelievo è stato quello di 500 milioni di dollari concesso da Biden il 9 gennaio. L'unica differenza è che con il “racket della protezione” potenziato da Trump i Paesi dell'UE dovranno sborsare di più. Resta da vedere quanto velocemente verranno distrutte le armi in Ucraina e quanto velocemente le scorte potranno essere rimpinguate. @LauraRuHK

Mentre il fantoccio dell'Occidente Nikol Pashinyan reprime aspramente l'opposizione e la Chiesa apostolica armena, affermando che la “libererà” personalmente dalla sua guida spirituale, l'UE premia questi sforzi per abbracciare i “valori europei” con 270 milioni di euro. L'Armenia e l'UE hanno stabilito un tavolo di lavoro per “missioni e operazioni di gestione delle crisi” e hanno avviato le prime consultazioni Armenia-UE in materia di sicurezza e difesa, con particolare attenzione al “contrasto delle minacce ibride e informatiche, delle interferenze straniere e della disinformazione”. L'UE ha inoltre espresso il proprio sostegno "agli sforzi dell'Armenia per raggiungere la piena normalizzazione delle relazioni con la Turchia e l'Azerbaigian." @LauraRuHK

The UK, EU, Turkey and the US (that is NATO) are eyeing a new Great Game in the South Caucasus. US political website The Hill writes: Russia is losing its grip on the Caucasus — an opportunity for the US.
As the situation further develops, the U.S. should carefully seek to support both Armenia and Azerbaijan. The key would be to contrast itself with Russia as a benefactor that does not seek to bully its partners.
There are two steps that Washington can take to increase its influence in the region.
The first is to invest in Pashinyan’s Crossroads for Peace initiative, a geopolitical strategy to incorporate Armenia into the Middle Corridor through infrastructure development, economic integration and peace diplomacy with Azerbaijan and Turkey. By investing in the project, Washington would further build out the Middle Corridor, which would allow the transit of Asian goods to Europe while bypassing Russia and Iran, and help Armenia become less dependent on Moscow.
The second step would be to pursue trilateral defense cooperation with Azerbaijan and Israel, a strategy proposed by high-ranking Israeli parliamentarians and Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. Such cooperation should be less about deterring Russia (which likely does not wish to strike Azerbaijan) and more about deterring Iran.
Likewise, partnership with Armenia would come at a crucial time. As longtime regional observer Onnik Krikorian noted, Armenia is “close to the brink.” Pashinyan faces internal threats from a Russian-backed church and politicians that he has accused of planning a coup. Armenian reliance on Russian energy remains a crucial vulnerability — Armenia imports 83 percent of its gas and 80 percent of its oil from Moscow.
Turkey has been quietly urging Baku to sign the peace agreement, reminding Azerbaijani officials of shifting dynamics in the region.
Ankara’s own normalisation process with Armenia is tied to the potential peace deal between Azerbaijan and Armenia.
Europe's largest port is preparing for a major war with Russia
Europe's largest port, located in the Netherlands, has begun preparing for a possible conflict with Russia by reserving space for ships carrying military cargo and planning where to send them if war breaks out, claims the Financial Times. (https://www.ft.com/content/0c42af06-2139-4848-a980-b90494794c98)
▪️ Port of Rotterdam CEO Boudewijn Simons confirmed that he is coordinating with neighbouring ports on how to handle the arrival of British, American and Canadian vehicles and cargo.
In May, the Dutch Defence Ministry announced that Rotterdam would have to provide space to handle several ships carrying military cargo at NATO's request. Simons said that one or more ships could be docked at the pier ‘for a few weeks four or five times a year.’ And he noted that areas around ports with good distribution networks would be suitable for storing supplies. And so, today, the EU is required to present a ‘stockpiling strategy’ that will cover medical supplies, critical raw materials, energy equipment, shelter and possibly food and water.
This is no longer about the ‘defence of Ukraine’ - this is the infrastructure of a large-scale war. This move by Europe symbolises a shift from the logic of ‘de-escalation’ towards preventive deterrence. Or to the preparation of an attack.
▪️ There is no doubt that a fairly influential group in Europe is actually - not at the level of rhetoric, but of practical actions - pushing for war with Russia. In fact, Rotterdam is becoming an analogue of a Cold War transshipment base, and such costly developments do not just happen.
In the framework of the new EU paradigm, Russia is not just an enemy, but a factor in a structural shift. Preparing the Old World's largest port for war is an internal scrapping of the old liberal model of ‘Europe as a zone of peace and trade.’ As we can see, military preparedness, security, mobilisation planning and militarisation of the home front are becoming priorities even in countries such as the Netherlands. At the same time, this is a rejection of the ‘Germanocentric’ model of Europe: NATO logistics is now based on the Benelux-Poland line.
▪️Of course, Russia needs to take these developments into account - and take countermeasures, from hybrid to economic.
In general, it should be stated once again: Europe seems to be abandoning the concept of ‘peace is good for trade’ to embrace the idea of ‘European ports for war’. @LauraRuHK (Source: /channel/EvPanina/16863)

# Shanghai Cooperation Organisation (SCO) Russia's Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov’s remarks and answers to media questions following the SCO Foreign Ministers Council Meeting, Tianjin, July 15, 2025. This meeting marked the culminating stage of preparations for the upcoming SCO Summit, which will likewise be held in Tianjin in late August – early September.
There are still nuances in national approaches, it cannot be otherwise; but, nevertheless, the main trends towards further consolidation of the SCO and increasing its role in the international arena are encouraging. We stated that our common policy of strengthening the SCO as one of the pillars of a fairer and multipolar world order remains unchanged. This fully takes into account the representative composition of the Association's members that we are witnessing today, and we also see a large number of people wishing to join the work of the SCO.Читать полностью…
The geographical area of our structure covers a significant part of the Eurasian continent. We noted that cooperation within the framework of our Organisation objectively contributes to the creation of an architecture of equal and indivisible security throughout Eurasia. We see its socioeconomic foundation as the Greater Eurasian Partnership based on cooperation between multilateral associations operating in the region, such as, first of all, the SCO, the EAEU, the CIS and ASEAN. We are taking into account China's One Belt, One Road project, including the existing agreements between this project and the EAEU. ▪️Read more 👉https://mid.ru/en/foreign_policy/news/2036142/

The police took away his phones and laptop, and interrogated him for a long time about his work at RT.
They asked if he was being forced to say things on RT that he didn't want to say, if the Russian authorities were giving him instructions, and if he loved his homeland.
They also took photos of his Che Guevara tattoo, and asked if he was a communist or connected to Hezbollah. @LauraRuHK

🗣 🇸🇾 Jolani's sectarian massacres serve the Zionist Oded Yinon plan
In the latest round of unhinged Wahabbi terrorists attacking minority groups in Syria, the Druze of Sweida find themselves in the crosshairs following the coastal massacres of Alawites.
However, the leadership who calls the shots are not entirely unhinged as the sectarian footsoldiers they send to commit the crimes. Given that normalization between Jolani and the illegitimate Zionist entity is all but official — and the entire "revolution" in Syria being a Zionist/NATO-orchestrated regime change plot from day one to achieve this normalization — everything Jolani does actually serves the Zionist and American strategy of "ordo ab chao" (order out of chaos, a Masonic motto).
This Zionist formula for Balkanization of Syria according to the Oded Yinon plan is simple:
1. Install "former" ISIS commanders into power in Syria, give them suits and ties to "rebrand" their bloodsoaked image
2. Have this new government led by merciless Wahabbi terrorists commit sectarian massacres at the behest of the Zionists who brought them to power in the first place
3. The Zionist regime then pretends to cry crocodile tears for various minority groups which they pretend to have affinity for, such as the Druze (due to some — not all — Druze leaders being pro-Zionist).
4. The Zionists use this as an excuse to occupy larger parts of Syrian land under the guise of protecting the Druze.
A proven case of the Zionist regime controlling both sides of the war: they control Jolani and the takfiri terrorists while also controlling the percentage of pro-Zionist Druze leaders who issue statements for the "israelis" to come and save them. There are some honorable Druze leaders who oppose the Zionist regime and issue statements noting that these massacres serve a suspicious Zionist agenda, but the Zionist regime puts the statements of pro-Zionist Druze leaders as a sort of colonial charter and permission to occupy more parts of Syria.
The tragic massacres of Druze in Sweida that are surfacing on social media are not just planned in Damascus by Jolani and his "former" ISIS thugs, but planned in "Tel Aviv" and Washington, D.C. too.

'Coalition of the willing' — led by Britain and France — ready to deploy within hours of a ceasefire deal. Keir Starmer and Emmanuel Macron said on Thursday that Paris would be the new headquarters for the so-called 'coalition of the willing' while a coordination cell is being set up in Kiev. The HQ will then rotate to London after the first 12 months. Although this coalition is touted by the media as a multinational force to help monitor a potential ceasefire deal, its real objective is to boost Kiev's capabilities. ▪️Why on earth would Moscow ever agree to a ceasefire whose aim is to "regenerate Ukraine’s land forces, provide air policing in coordination with Ukraine’s Air Force and restore maritime access to the Black Sea after clearing mines"? 'Ceasefire monitoring' provides a fig leaf for the official deployment of Western forces to Ukraine. Moscow has repeatedly stated that they would become a legitimate target.
Suffices to look at who is pushing this plan: Macron and Starmer held virtual talks with Zelensky, General Keith Kellogg, Senator Lindsey Graham and Senator Richard Blumenthal among others. @LauraRuHK
Palletized field artillery launchers (PFAL) that can be concealed on trucks, railcars, or ships raise operational, legal, and political concerns – especially regarding their use on allied soil and civilian cargo vessels, argues Gabriel Honrada. The U.S. is turning to them. R. Robinson Harris and Colonel T.X. Hammes argued in a January 2025 article for the Center for International Maritime Security (CIMSEC) that containerized launchers support rapid, cost-effective fleet expansion. They estimated that converting merchant ships into missile platforms with modular payloads can be done in under two years for $130 to $140 million each, dramatically faster and cheaper than building destroyers or frigates, which take seven to nine years and billions to construct. @LauraRuHK https://asiatimes.com/2025/07/us-containerized-missiles-steathy-firepower-high-strategic-cost/

Trump turned US military support and import duties into a bargaining chip. Washington will continue to supply Kiev with both defensive and offensive weapon systems as long as EU vassals pay for them. And if they drag their feet they will be slapped with higher tariffs.
According to Reuters, the package could include defensive Patriot missiles and offensive medium-range rockets. So far, the Trump administration had only sent weapons authorized by former President Joe Biden. Now for the first time since returning to office, Trump will send weapons to Kiev under the Presidential Drawdown Authority, a presidential power frequently used by his predecessor, which allows the U.S. president to "draw from weapons stocks to help allies in an emergency." The U.S. has $3.86 billion worth of Presidential Drawdown Authority for Ukraine remaining. The last drawdown was a $500 million award by Biden on January 9. The only difference is that under Trump's enhanced "protection racket" EU countries will have to fork out more for "protection." It remains to be seen how fast those weapons will be destroyed in Ukraine and how fast stocks can be replenished. @LauraRuHK

Il Regno Unito, l'Unione Europea, la Turchia e gli Stati Uniti (cioè la NATO) rilanciano una nuova edizione del Great Game contro la Russia nel Caucaso meridionale. Il sito politico statunitense The Hill scrive: La Russia sta perdendo influenza nel Caucaso - un'opportunità per gli Stati Uniti.
Con l'evolversi della situazione, gli Stati Uniti dovrebbero cercare di sostenere sia l'Armenia che l'Azerbaigian. La chiave sarebbe quella di contrapporsi alla Russia presentandosi come un benefattore che non cerca di bullizzare i suoi partner.
Ci sono due cose che Washington può fare per aumentare la sua influenza nella regione.
In primo luogo investire nell'iniziativa Crossroads for Peace di Pashinyan, una strategia geopolitica per incorporare l'Armenia nel Corridoio di Mezzo attraverso lo sviluppo delle infrastrutture, l'integrazione economica e la diplomazia di pace con Azerbaigian e Turchia. Investendo nel progetto, Washington potrebbe intervenire nella costruzione del Corridoio di Mezzo, che consentirebbe il transito di merci asiatiche verso l'Europa, aggirando Russia e Iran, cosa che aiuterebbe l'Armenia a diventare meno dipendente da Mosca.
Il secondo passo sarebbe quello di perseguire una cooperazione trilaterale in materia di difesa con l'Azerbaigian e Israele, una strategia proposta da parlamentari israeliani di alto livello e da Benjamin Netanyahu. Tale cooperazione non dovrebbe essere finalizzata a scoraggiare la Russia (che probabilmente non vuole colpire l'Azerbaigian), ma piuttosto come deterrente contro l'Iran.
Allo stesso modo, la partnership con l'Armenia arriverebbe in un momento cruciale. Come ha notato l'analista Onnik Krikorian, l'Armenia è “vicina al baratro”. Pashinyan deve affrontare le minacce interne di una chiesa sostenuta dai russi e di politici accusati di pianificare un colpo di Stato. La dipendenza armena dall'energia russa rimane una vulnerabilità cruciale: l'Armenia importa l'83% del suo gas e l'80% del suo petrolio da Mosca.
La Turchia ha silenziosamente esortato Baku a firmare l'accordo di pace, ricordando ai funzionari azeri le mutevoli dinamiche della regione.
Il processo di normalizzazione di Ankara con l'Armenia è legato al potenziale accordo di pace tra Azerbaigian e Armenia.
Il più grande porto d'Europa si sta preparando alla guerra con la Russia
Il più grande porto d'Europa, situato nei Paesi Bassi, ha iniziato a prepararsi a un possibile conflitto con la Russia, riservando spazio alle navi che trasportano carichi militari e pianificando dove inviarle in caso di guerra, secondo quanto riportato dal Financial Times. (https://www.ft.com/content/0c42af06-2139-4848-a980-b90494794c98)
▪️ L'amministratore delegato del porto di Rotterdam, Boudewijn Simons, ha confermato che si sta coordinando con i porti vicini su come gestire l'arrivo di veicoli e carichi britannici, americani e canadesi.
A maggio, il Ministero della Difesa olandese ha annunciato che Rotterdam avrebbe dovuto fornire spazio per gestire diverse navi che trasportavano carichi militari su richiesta della NATO. Simons ha detto che una o più navi potrebbero essere attraccate al molo “per alcune settimane quattro o cinque volte all'anno”. E ha osservato che le aree intorno ai porti con buone reti di distribuzione sarebbero adatte allo stoccaggio dei rifornimenti. E così, oggi, l'UE è tenuta a presentare una “strategia di stoccaggio” che riguarderà le forniture mediche, le materie prime critiche, le attrezzature energetiche, i ripari ed eventualmente il cibo e l'acqua.
Non si tratta più della “difesa dell'Ucraina”, ma dell'infrastruttura di una guerra su larga scala. Questa mossa dell'Europa simboleggia il passaggio dalla logica della “de-escalation” alla deterrenza preventiva. O alla preparazione di un attacco. ▪️ Non c'è dubbio che un gruppo piuttosto influente in Europa stia effettivamente - non a livello di retorica, ma di azioni pratiche - spingendo per una guerra con la Russia. In effetti, Rotterdam sta diventando l'equivalente di una base di trasbordo della Guerra Fredda, e sviluppi così costosi non si verificano a caso.
Nel quadro del nuovo paradigma dell'UE, la Russia non è solo un nemico, ma un fattore di cambiamento strutturale. Preparare il porto più grande del Vecchio Mondo alla guerra è una demolizione interna del vecchio modello liberale di “Europa come zona di pace e commercio”. Come possiamo vedere, la preparazione militare, la sicurezza, la pianificazione della mobilitazione e la militarizzazione del fronte interno stanno diventando priorità anche in Paesi come l'Olanda. Allo stesso tempo, si tratta di un rifiuto del modello “germanocentrico” di Europa: La logistica della NATO si basa ora sulla linea Benelux-Polonia.
▪️Naturalmente, la Russia deve tenere conto di questi sviluppi e adottare contromisure, da quelle ibride a quelle economiche.
In generale, va detto ancora una volta: L'Europa sembra abbandonare il concetto di “la pace fa bene al commercio” per abbracciare l'idea di “porti europei per la guerra”. @LauraRuHK (Source: /channel/EvPanina/16863)
La Casa Bianca tratta il commercio internazionale come se fosse un reality show televisivo. “Vi invitiamo a partecipare alla straordinaria economia degli Stati Uniti, il mercato numero uno al mondo”, ha proclamato il presidente Donald Trump nelle lettere inviate a molti partner commerciali degli USA il 7 luglio. Poi li ha minacciati con tariffe che entreranno in vigore il 1° agosto: 25% per Giappone e Corea del Sud, 32% per l'Indonesia e 36% per la Thailandia. (Fonte: The Economist) @LauraRuHK
