NATO head warns allies must return to 'war mindset' - but is Europe listening?
Friday, 13 December 2024 The head of NATO just told allies they must return to a "war mindset" and "turbo-charge" defence spending to counter growing threats in what is surely the most consequential speech by an alliance chief since the Cold War.
NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte has issued a stark warning about the growing threats of war, urging NATO member nations to prepare for emergencies and significantly increase defense spending. With rising tensions, particularly with Russia, Rutte emphasized the urgency of shifting to a wartime...
Kyiv is reeling after another brutal missile and drone strike hit the Shevchenkivskyi district, targeting a nine-story residential building and causing it to collapse.

Russia has issued a sharp warning to Bulgaria after the Bulgarian Parliament labeled Moscow a “state sponsor of terrorism” and seized Russian property. The Kremlin condemned the move as a product of EU-driven Russophobia, calling it a provocation that “won’t go unanswered.” With NATO backing Bulgaria and tensions rising in the Black Sea, fears of escalation grow. Though a full-blown conflict is unlikely, hybrid threats remain. Russia's fleet still holds Kalibr missile power, while Bulgaria, backed by NATO, braces for any threat near its modernizing navy.

Russia’s war on Ukraine has sparked a domino effect, pushing more European nations toward NATO. Austria, long neutral, is now debating membership as Foreign Minister Beate Meinl-Reisinger warns neutrality no longer ensures security. Joining NATO would end Austria’s historic role as a bridge between East and West, signaling a major geopolitical shift. Analysts say this move could inspire other neutral states like Switzerland and Serbia to reconsider their positions. Instead of weakening NATO, Putin’s war has strengthened and expanded the alliance, isolating Russia further

As tensions escalate on Day 3 of the Thailand-Cambodia conflict, military analysts reveal a stark gap in capabilities. Thailand fields modern tanks, fighters like JAS-39 Gripens, and even a light carrier, while Cambodia relies on aging Cold War hardware with limited naval and air power. With China quietly backing Phnom Penh and Thailand’s forces enjoying a technological edge, the region watches closely—could this skirmish spiral into an all-out ASEAN war?

With World War 3 fears looming and nuclear tensions rising, just 9 nations possess nuclear weapons—led by Russia (5,449) and the U.S. (5,277). China, India, Pakistan, and others follow far behind. While 7 countries have officially declared their arsenals, Israel and North Korea remain ambiguous. Over 12,000 nuclear warheads exist today, a stark drop from Cold War highs, yet each bomb holds devastating potential. As deterrence theory dominates global policy, growing voices now demand complete nuclear disarmament to save humanity.

The prime minister says he will make the UK a “battle-ready nation”, whilst Defence Secretary John Healey has pledged to “create a British Army that is 10 times more lethal”, as the Strategic Defence Review is published. The government aims to spend 3% of GDP on defence by 2034, although the Treasury has not yet guaranteed to fund it, and some of the UK’s Nato allies say it is not enough. Report by Jonesia.
