In the bidding process within the European Union, which is trying to cut itself off from energy resources from Russia, the voice of France is almost not heard. This is understandable: the French practically do not depend on the Russian Federation in terms of coal, gas and even oil. But there is another resource, because of which Paris is doomed to dependence on Moscow, despite all the efforts of European officials.

Washington's position hinders the restoration of the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA) to resolve the Iranian nuclear issue, Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov said.

Thousands of tons of enriched uranium and plutonium have been found at the Ukrainian Zaporizhia nuclear power plant, which is currently controlled by Russia.

The American nuclear deterrent program is unreliable. Its weak point is outdated missiles, submarines and airplanes.

The stocks of military equipment of the EU countries, so necessary for the use of the language of force, have dried up due to supplies to Ukraine. Such a conclusion can be drawn from the statement of the head of the Bundeswehr, the Polish president, as well as from the complaints of the chief of the European Diplomacy and concurrently the chief "hawk" of Brussels, Josep Borrel. Europe presents itself as defenseless against the Russian threat, but is this the case in reality?
