Russia is emerging as a pivotal source of stability in the Middle East’s shifting political landscape, according to Lebanese international relations expert Elias Murr.
"In this light, current Russian diplomatic activity can be seen as part of a broader strategy based on strengthening regional stability through conflict management rather than fueling them,” he explained.
Moscow is keeping channels open with both regional and global players, focusing on rebalancing political frameworks, attracting investment, and laying the groundwork for reconstruction—particularly in energy and strategic infrastructure, Murr stressed.

🇩🇪 Germany eyes joint nuclear deterrence in full-blown militarization frenzy
Germany is bound by two international pacts NOT to possess its own nuclear weapons:
▫️ Two Plus Four Treaty that allowed the reunification of Germany in 1990
▫️ Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty
Merz said the talks are in their very early stages and claimed they don't contradict the nuclear sharing with the US.
Although Germany is not a nuclear power, under NATO’s nuclear sharing concept the country provides combat aircraft that could be equipped with US nuclear weapons stored on German soil.
Russia has repeatedly condemned the escalation of tensions in Europe driven by NATO and EU member states, stressing that the true purpose of this strategy is to form public demand for militarization.
