North Korea says it will strike with nuclear weapons if South attacks

PEJOURNAL - North Korea opposes war but would use nuclear weapons if South Korea attacked, Kim Yo Jong, the powerful sister of leader Kim Jong Un, said on Tuesday, in a warning that analysts said is probably aimed at the South's incoming conservative president.

South Korean Defence Minister Suh Wook had said on Friday that his country's military has a variety…

Challenges of the UAE pendulum game in the Middle East region

BY: Pooya Mirzaei PEJOURNAL - The Negev meeting was attended by the US and Israeli foreign ministers and officials from Bahrain, Morocco, and Egypt. The United Arab Emirates, which took the lead in Abraham Accords to normalize relations with the Zionist regime, was also one of the countries that attended the recent meeting. A look at the country's foreign policy record over the past year shows that Abu Dhabi is facing a serious contradiction in its approach to foreign relations. In the last two years, the UAE government has taken a new approach to develop relations with countries such as…

Europe’s blind investment in American endless wars

BY: William Homes PEJOURNAL - These days, there is nothing beyond the fall of the US-backed Ashraf Ghani government in Afghanistan and the re-emergence of the Taliban and its unfortunate consequences for Europe. This unexpected change has preoccupied the minds of Europeans and the political and security circles of the continent. The continent of Europe, which in 2015, following the escalation of the civil war in Syria and Iraq and the rise of ISIS in these two countries, faced a crisis of refugees and war refugees, as well as unprecedented fear of ISIS assassinations in European capitals, With the Taliban…

US interest in allying with terrorist groups rather than cooperating with European allies

US interest in allying with terrorist groups rather than cooperating with European allies

BY: Alfonso Gomez Delacroz PEJOURNAL - The defeat in Afghanistan and the catastrophic retreat after 20 years of spending in this country show the irreparable recklessness in US foreign policy today. The first characteristic that comes to mind from the confusion is the paradigm shift in American foreign policy. A fundamental turnaround that does not endorse the claims of US pioneering in the international system and the new world order declared by this country, or at least Washington's efforts to do so. In the meantime, however, the problem is that after World War II, the United States in particular sought…

The deterioration of the United States is Europe’s best opportunity for political independence

The deterioration of the United States is Europe’s best opportunity for political independence

BY: William Holmes The hasty, unplanned, and catastrophic withdrawal of the United States from Afghanistan has rightly raised concerns among its allies who rely on the US military for security. In fact, in such a situation, countries such as South Korea, Japan or European governments cannot be sure of the correctness of the interim decisions of the United States and the consequences for their strategic and long-term policies. In other words, given the US approach to strengthening its strength in East Asia and the South China Sea, which is aimed at confronting Beijing, its allies, especially Europe, must take responsibility…

Manama dialogue: Gathering for security or insecurity?

Manama dialogue: Gathering for security or insecurity?

BY: Pooya Mirzaei PEJOURNAL - In recent days, Bahrain has hosted a meeting in Manama called the Regional Security Summit. Although Bahrain was the nominal host of the Manama dialogue, the meeting could be considered to be hosted by Bahrain and Saudi Arabia, given Riyadh's godfather's ruling on Manama. The record of these countries, both domestically against their citizens and in the region against free nations like Yemen, shows that they are themselves part of the crisis and the cause of insecurity in the region, and therefore hosting Manama dialogue called the Regional Security Summit is a clear contradiction. Official…

NATO Developed New Methods of Cognitive Warfare

NATO Developed New Methods of Cognitive Warfare

BY: Leonid Savin PEJOURNAL - A leading role in Cognitive Warfare direction is played by the Innovation for Defense Excellence and Security (IDEaS) Specialized Center, also known as the Innovation Hub, located in Canada. However, this center is not included in the list of NATO’s official accredited centers of excellence , such as the Center for Cooperative Cyber ​​Defense in Tallinn or the Center for Energy Security in Vilnius. Probably, NATO did not want to draw attention to its work, so it functions “autonomously”. It should be admitted that this concealment approach was successful, since, judging by the news feed, the Center began work…

EU, NATO and the challenges for a foreign policy and community defense policy

EU, NATO and the challenges for a foreign policy and community defense policy

BY: Paolo Mauri Translated BY: Costantino Ceoldo PEJOURNAL - The need to adopt a common defense and foreign policy has strongly returned to the agenda of the European Union. The triggering cause, or if we want “the straw that broke the camel's back”, was the unilateral management by the United States of the withdrawal from Afghanistan, which essentially excluded the Allies belonging to NATO from the decision-making processes of the Kabul evacuation operation. The prodromes of this renewed need had been advanced, as we well know, by French President Emmanuel Macron, who earlier this year stated that Europe needed “strategic…
