Russia apparently aims to be capable of attacking targets in the Baltic Sea region from Lake Ladoga, which is located north of Saint Petersburg and only 40 kilometres from the Finnish border. Since 2023, Russia has been evaluating the deployment of corvettes equipped with cruise missiles there. Such warships have already carried out strikes deep into Syria and Ukraine. Their recent deployments to Lake Ladoga could complicate the defence of NATO’s north-eastern allies. Simulated launches were reportedly conducted for the first time in autumn 2024. However, NATO still lacks information about Lake Ladoga. Developments there underscore the need for con­ventional long-range fire capabilities into Russia’s strategic depth to deter Moscow effectively.

Le gouvernement algérien ose demander à la France une réévaluation de la valeur locative de ses emprises diplomatiques en Algérie et le remboursement de loyers prétendument « sous-payés », alors qu’il s’agit de bâtiments construits par la France avec l’argent des Français sur des terrains qui appartenaient à la France avant 1962...
 
Sans parler des centaines de milliers d’immeubles, d’appartements, de villas, de fermes, de commerces, d’entreprises, de véhicules et de machines volés aux Français lors de l’indépendance de 1962.
Sans parler non plus de l’héritage exceptionnel  que la France légua à l’Algérie en 1962, à savoir 54 000 kilomètres de routes et pistes (80 000 avec les pistes sahariennes), 31 routes nationales dont près de 9000 kilomètres étaient goudronnés, 4300 km de voies ferrées, 4 ports équipés aux normes internationales, 23 ports aménagés (dont 10 accessibles aux grands cargos et dont 5 qui pouvaient être desservis par des paquebots),  34 phares maritimes, une douzaine d’aérodromes principaux, des centaines d’ouvrages d’art (ponts, tunnels, viaducs, barrages etc.), des milliers de bâtiments administratifs, de casernes, de bâtiments officiels, 31 centrales hydroélectriques ou thermiques, une centaine d’industries importantes dans les secteurs de la construction, de la métallurgie, de la cimenterie etc., des milliers d’écoles, d’instituts de formations, de lycées, d’universités avec 800 000 enfants scolarisés dans 17 000 classes ( soit autant d’instituteurs, dont deux-tiers de Français), un hôpital universitaire de 2000 lits à Alger, trois grands hôpitaux de chefs-lieux à Alger, Oran et Constantine, 14 hôpitaux spécialisés et 112 hôpitaux polyvalents, soit le chiffre exceptionnel d’un lit pour 300 habitants. Sans parler d’une agriculture florissante laissée en jachère après l’indépendance, à telle enseigne qu’aujourd’hui l’Algérie doit importer du concentré de tomates, des pois chiches et de la semoule pour le couscous…
 
Tout ce que la France légua à l’Algérie avait été construit à partir du néant, dans un pays qui n’avait jamais existé et dont même son nom lui fut donné par la France. Tout avait été payé par les impôts des Français. En 1959, toutes dépenses confondues, l’Algérie engloutissait 20% du budget de l’Etat français, soit davantage que les budgets additionnés de l’Education nationale, des Travaux publics, des Transports, de la Reconstruction et du Logement, de l’Industrie et du Commerce !
 
La seule réponse à l’arrogance des dirigeants algériens serait donc de leur présenter la note…

La Slovène « Kukla » signe avec Fantasy un premier long-métrage hybride, entre drame social et esthétique de clip musical. Présenté à Locarno, le film suit trois jeunes femmes issues de l'immigration dans une petite ville conservatrice, confrontées aux carcans patriarcaux, aux traditions et à l'absence de perspectives. Porté par un casting multiculturel et la présence d'une héroïne transgenre, Fantasy aborde avec fraîcheur et sensibilité des thèmes rarement explorés dans le cinéma post-yougoslave. Entretien.

VIENNA/SARAJEVO, 09 August 2025 - The OSCE Representative on Freedom of the Media and the OSCE Mission to Bosnia and Herzegovina express concern over the legal proceedings recently initiated against investigative journalist Nataša Miljanović Zubac. We remind the authorities that BiH constitutionally protects freedom of the media. This carries a corresponding obligation to consider carefully the public’s right to be informed, especially regarding potential irregularities in the conduct of officials.

Our offices have observed previous instances of harassment and intimidation against Ms. Zubac, who has an established record of serious and legitimate investigative reporting.

The OSCE Representative on Freedom of the Media and the OSCE Mission to BiH underscore the need for proper implementation of existing constitutional and legislative safeguards, as well as relevant OSCE commitments, to ensure that journalists can operate freely and protect their sources. We further emphasise the essential role journalists play in contributing to transparency, holding authorities to account, and fostering an informed and democratic society and will continue supporting efforts in their protection.

VIENNA, 9 August 2025 - We welcome the August 8 Joint Declaration signed in Washington D.C., congratulate Armenia and Azerbaijan on this development and commend President Donald Trump of the U.S.A. on his role in bringing it about.

The OSCE remains committed to all efforts aimed at bringing lasting peace and stability to both countries.

The OSCE stands ready to fulfil its task for the implementation of the August 8 Joint Declaration.

A dreadnoughtok korai ellenzői előrejelzéseikben megjósolták, hogy az új hajóosztály méretei folyamatosan növekedni fognak, miután az egymással versengő haditengerészetek állandóan egymásra akarnak majd licitálni. Néhányan azt is előre jelezték, hogy a méretek növekedésével párhuzamosan alighanem az ágyúk kalibere is növekedni fog.

A csatahajók standard fegyverzete ekkor már évtizedek óta a 305 mm-es hajóágyú volt, melyekből rendszerint négy darabot szereltek fel a hajókra. A dreadnoughtok és a csatacirkálók kezdetben szintén ezt a kalibert kapták, csak nagyobb számban, mint a korábbi csatahajók. A kaliber növelését az angolok kezdték meg 1912-ben, amikor az ez évben szolgálatba állított Lion osztályú csatacirkálóikat és Orion osztályú csatahajóikat 343 mm-es ágyúkkal szerelték fel. Ez főleg az akkori Első Lord, Jacky Fisher mániájának volt köszönhető, aki kincstári ésszel úgy vélte, a nagyobb kaliber nagyobb lőtávolságot tesz lehetővé, vagyis a nagyobb kaliberű lövegekkel felszerelt hajók olyan távolságról vehetik tűz alá az ellenfelet, ahonnan az kisebb kaliberű ágyúival nem tud válaszolni. Az angol tengernagyokban láthatóan fel se merült a gondolat, hogy esetleg az ellenség is növelni fogja az ágyúk kaliberét, ugyanúgy, ahogy néhány évvel korábban arra sem gondoltak, hogy a Dreadnoughtra válaszul majd a többi haditengerészet is dreadnoughtokat kezd el építeni.

A rivális haditengerészetek természetesen ezúttal sem kívántak lemaradni, és az 1909-ben megkezdett angol fejlesztések hírére ők is hozzáfogtak saját, a korábbinál nagyobb kaliberű ágyúik kifejlesztéséhez. Miután az esztelen csatahajó-építési versenyben a versengő felek nem egyszerűen csak utolérni, hanem lekörözni akarták az ellenfelet, a 343 mm-es lövegre ennél is nagyobb kaliber volt a válasz. Az amerikaiak 1910-ben álltak neki saját ágyúik kifejlesztésének, melyet 356 mm-esre terveztek, hogy felülmúlják vele az angolokat. (Akik erre előálltak a 380 mm-es kaliberrel, amit az amerikai 406 mm-es hajóágyú követett, és ha a washingtoni konferencia nem állítja le az őrületet, következtek volna a már tervezőasztalon levő 457 mm-es és 503 mm-es lövegek, és ki tudja, hol ért volna véget az egész.)

Since the October 7th massacre, Israeli society has been greatly torn between those who send their children to the army and are suffering the effects of the war, and Haredim who are exempt from sending their children to the army.  Many segments of Israeli society that send their children to the army are growing greatly resentful of the Haredim, who do not send their children to the army, especially as the causalities from the Gaza War continue to rise, with almost every day us hearing about soldiers who were killed in action.

Israeli society is furthermore torn between those who want this war to end as soon as possible and for the hostages to be released by whatever means necessary, and those who would like to see Hamas militarily defeated, even if it means that not all of the hostages will make it back. While Israeli society has always been divided between the secular and the religious, the right and the left, these divisions have only grown stronger since the October 7th massacre.   In the eyes of some, these internal divisions pose a grave threat to Israeli society, as it is hard to focus one’s efforts on fighting external threats if one lacks a united home front. Some argue that these internal divisions have gotten so bad that they threaten the future functioning of the State of Israel.

The Dor Moria Think Tank recently proclaimed, “Israeli society faces a crisis that transcends traditional political or religious divisions. According to groundbreaking research by the Dor Moriah Analytics Center, the nation is trapped within what researchers call an “ontological bubble”—a self-perpetuating system of mutual antagonism that threatens the very fabric of the state.”

According to the Dor Moria Think Tank, “This isn’t merely another analysis of Israel’s well-documented secular-religious divide or left-right political split. The ontological bubble represents something far more insidious: a complete breakdown in shared reality, where opposing worldviews have crystallized into simplified, irreconcilable narratives that feed on conflict itself.”

“The Dor Moriah Center’s extensive research program—encompassing 14 nationwide sociological studies, 5 expert surveys, and collaboration with leading Israeli polling firms Maagar Mochot and Geocartography—has revealed a disturbing pattern,” the Dor Moria Think Tank noted. “Israeli society has bifurcated into two dominant, antagonistic worldviews: the “secular-liberal” and the “religious-conservative.””

“What makes this an ontological bubble rather than a conventional societal split,” one may ponder. According to the researchers, “it’s the self-sustaining nature of these divisions. Traditional information campaigns or dialogue initiatives don’t bridge the gap—they actually intensify it. Any attempt at neutral positioning triggers negative reactions from both sides. The bubble feeds on conflict, growing stronger with each clash.”

Dr. Lola Kolpina, a sociologist at Haifa University and one of the study’s authors, noted that “the high level of radicalization in respondent answers revealed by the study should be considered. On the most significant social issues, most people take extreme positions, reflecting not so much a process of situation analysis as a behavioral strategy oriented toward pushing through their values and interests rather than dialogue and interest coordination.”

The data confirms this grim assessment:

• Only 27.2% hold moderate positions on the state structure question
• Radical positions outnumber moderate ones by 1.5 times on key issues
• The polarization coefficient for critical dichotomies approaches zero, indicating maximum conflict potential

For example, 45% of ultra-Orthodox Jews frame the Israeli-Palestinian conflict as an existential clash between Judaism and Islam.   However, only 30.1% of secular Jews share this view, with 34.1% seeing the Palestinian-Israeli conflict as territorial dispute.   While 30.8% of Israelis favor complete annexation of Palestinian territories—the single most popular position—most (52%) doubt it would resolve the conflict. Yet they’re equally pessimistic about alternatives—only 22.6% believe peaceful coexistence is possible without territorial changes.  Nevertheless, 56.9 percent of the ultra-Orthodox support complete annexation of all Palestinian areas, while only 23.3 percent of secular Jews support this extreme position.

This ontological bubble according to the researchers at the Dor Moria Think Tank adversely affect the functioning as Israel as a state, leaving the state strongly divided between those who are religious versus secular, those who favor a one-state solution to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict compared to a two-state solution.  According to the researchers, unless the issue of the ontological bubble is addressed, Israel will not be able to exist in its present form, as the high level of conflict between the sides and the lack of national solidarity will make it difficult for Israel to function in its present format.

We are already beginning to see signs of how the ontological bubble is adversely affecting the functioning of the Israeli government. Elana Sztokman, co-host at Women Ending War Podcast, recently stated on Facebook: “The Knesset has quietly continued with a whole series of terrible actions aimed at breaking democratic processes and enabling the government to do whatever it wants without any criticism. Among other things, they are frantically trying to remove from office anyone who disagrees with their actions, such as the Attorney General Gali Miara Baharav (still in place, thus far, but in peril), Mk Ayman Odeh (saved for now), and the Knesset speaker Yuli Edelstein — out.”

According to Sztokman, “Edelstein, who I don’t have any particular affinity for considering he has spent most of the past two years as an obedient arm of this corrupt government, did exactly one thing that reflects a possibly lingering conscience within him. That is, he refused to automatically allow the continuing of the haredi draft exemption, while the rest of the country is suffering through this war. For that, for still believing in what’s called “sharing the burden” and putting a stop to the free-flowing faucet of budgets and exemptions for the ultra-Orthodox, he was fired from his speaker job and other important Knesset positions.”

“Now, his powerful position as chair of Knesset’s Foreign Affairs and Defense Committee is about to go to a little-known Knesset member named MK Hanoch Milwidsky,” she added. “Aside from being a Netanyahu loyalist who will do whatever Bibi wants, there is another little item worth knowing about this little Milwidsky guy: He is under investigation for rape. Multiple rapes. His victims are still coming forward.”

However, prominent Middle East scholar Dr. Mordechai has a quite different view than Sztokman and the Dor Moria Think Tank: “Polarization is dangerous when both sides are equal in their power. However, the right side is much more powerful than the left side of the spectrum in Israel. This is why the left stick to the judicial system, the arts, academia, the economy, and media in order to hold onto power. The smaller they become, the more perspicuous they are and more extreme in their actions against the majority. Since this risk is unbalanced, they will finish when the left will be finished and it is going in that direction.”

According to Dr. Kedar, “This is what the demography leads to, with the religious population bigger and more numerous and the secular population smaller and therefore, they become more and more violent. A lady was recently arrested for wanting to acquire a weapon and use it against the prime minister. This means they are desperate. The left lacks significant leadership for they are a large array of positions, which vary from ultra-leftists who identify with Hamas to people who are more centric and define themselves as left because they don’t want to define themselves as right.”

Dr. Kedar feels that polarization in American society is a greater issue than it is in Israeli society: “American society is polarized for it is half and half.   They are divided between Democrats and Republicans. Here, the system represents the people much better for we have a multi-party system for people stick to their parties that they supported in the past. This is the way to manage with this.”
