Théo Bourgeron, The Jacobin 07.05.2024: "The ascent of far-right movements is a tool that specific parts of the business world use to realign the balance of power between business sectors to their own advantage. In the case of the Rassemblement National, it is clear that the party seeks — and secures — support from certain groups of business owners. "
" The Rassemblement National has developed a project for the sector called “sovereign tech.” Many French tech entrepreneurs find this proposal appealing as they struggle with American big tech giants and seek to gain market share in France and Europe, especially in cloud computing and social networks. For example, the Rassemblement National manifesto proposes forcing foreign firms in strategic tech sectors operating in France to sell parts of their businesses to French or European competitors and would require US social networks to implement moderation strategies defined by French lawmakers for French content."
Vuoden 2020 sotaa on kutsuttu maailman ensimmäiseksi droonisodaksi, koska miehittämättömillä lennokeilla oli merkittävä – joidenkin mielestä jopa ratkaisevan tärkeä osuus – Azerbaidzanin sotilaallisessa voitossa. Sodassa Turkki tuki läheisintä liittolaistaan. Droonit olivat pääosin turkkilaista alkuperää.

Victoria Nuland played a significant role in the U.S. foreign policy, particularly concerning Russia, Ukraine, and the countries of the former Soviet Union. Nuland participated in negotiations between Russia and NATO in the '90s, as well as in talks between Russia and Ukraine in 2016 and 2022. She recently left the State Department, so now she can share a lot of new insights.
Mary Kaldor reagerar 2009 på före detta politikers (Nunn, Perry, Schmidt, Walesa...) pläderinngar ang. vapenkontroll:
"Problemet med förslagen om vapenkontroll är att de behandlar kärnvapen som om de vore en del av staternas normala vapenarsenal - de naturaliserar kärnvapen. Ändå kan vi inte ta oss upp till bergets topp [nd summit] utan att ändra dessa grundläggande antaganden och utan att ompröva konsekvenserna av att inneha kärnvapen i dagens globaliserade värld.
"If we are to reach the summit, we need to put forward proposals that reframe the issue of nuclear weapons as a humanitarian issue and that require courage and leadership on the part of politicians if they are to support them."
Glenn Diesen citerar : "Former NATO Secretary-General Anders Fogh Rasmussen optimistically announced that NATO expansion in Scandinavia would enable NATO to block Russia’s access to the Baltic Sea in a conflict: “After the accession of Finland and Sweden to NATO, the Baltic Sea will now be a NATO sea… if we wish, we can block all entry and exit to Russia through St. Petersburg”.[2]
