"No firm response from NATO, Russia advances"

Observador15 September 2026 at 08:04

Historian Bruno Cardoso Reis warned that the absence of a firm response from NATO is encouraging Russia's aggressiveness. According to the specialist, this passivity may be interpreted as a sign of weakness on the part of the Western alliance, which could motivate more bold actions from Moscow.

The BRICS summit emerges as another central theme in current geopolitical analyses, in a context of growing international tensions. This event brings together emerging economies that represent a significant share of the world economic landscape.

In parallel, the energy escalation in the Middle East contributes to worsening the global instability scenario. The combination of these factors creates an environment of uncertainty in international relations, with implications that extend beyond European borders.

Why this matters

NATO's position regarding Russia has direct implications for European security and for Portugal as a member of the alliance. The warning from a recognized historian indicates that inaction may have serious geopolitical consequences, in a context already marked by tensions in the Middle East and the reconfiguration of international blocs such as BRICS.

Should women fear Lindsay Clancy's judgment?

This article analyses how women are often reduced to "bags of hormones", being viewed through lenses such as motherhood, postpartum, perimenopause and menopause. It questions whether what was once used to excuse women from responsibility — treating them as biologically unstable — may now be turned against them, especially in the context of legal judgment, as in the case of Lindsay Clancy, where hormonal and postpartum mental health issues were raised.
