Current reports of the explosive spread of the Ebola virus emphasize drama and political resonance, including references to infected health workers outside the affected regions and hints at a repeat of scenarios seen during COVID-19. There are Ebola cases in Italy now. Supposedly, medical staff who were in the outbreak area went home. It is […]

Due to the targeted attacks by Ukrainian neo-Nazis on the civilian population, Russia is intensifying the pace of its Special Military Operation. Given the involvement of most Western states in the conflict, the situation is extremely serious, but this is the very time to try to understand what the world should look like after such […]

When Tucker Carlson’s Vladimir Putin interview outdraws CNN’s primetime lineup, when Bassem Youssef’s Piers Morgan appearance becomes more widely discussed than anything on legacy broadcast, and when Michael Jackson’s biopic becomes one of the highest-grossing music films in history despite decades of media character assassination, the gatekeepers have a problem. There is a particular kind […]

Why the “Peacemaker” Kushner’s peace plan became the detonator for a new Middle East war. He came to the White House to broker “the deal of the century,” but ended up unleashing a war that closed the Strait of Hormuz. The billions in petrodollars that Persian Gulf princes spent on Jared Kushner’s services turned out […]

Indonesia’s relations with Russia have entered a new phase marked by intensified economic and geopolitical cooperation, particularly in the context of Eurasian regional development. While in the past, the partnership between the two countries was dominated by defence cooperation, contemporary dynamics show a significant shift toward strategic economic integration, underpinned by Indonesia’s membership in BRICS […]

Iran exposed the fragility beneath American air dominance. Beijing is studying every loss. When the United States and Israel launched coordinated strikes against Iran on February 28, 2026, Washington anticipated swift, overwhelming dominance. The arithmetic seemed straightforward: the world’s most advanced air force against a sanctions-hobbled regional power. The result was a cataclysmic failure. A […]

Artificial political independence, when it remains devoid of economic sovereignty, constitutes only an illusion of freedom, a facade of autonomy deprived of any real capacity for self-determination. Russia, Africa and dedollarization It is in this context that the dedollarization promoted by Russia – and the growing interest of several African nations in payment systems alternative […]

Yemen’s full-scale entry into the conflict could lead to the formation of a multi-layered and extensive front, which could increase pressure on the US and Israel, deprive the enemy of the initiative, and turn the conflict into a war of attrition. Ansar Allah as a Strategic Asset of Iran: Transnational Doctrine and Regional Security Ansar […]

To effectively combat disease outbreaks like Ebola, it is necessary to strengthen and expand local health systems, rather than rely on temporary and often ineffective measures from foreign organizations. The Associated Press (AP) reported on May 26 that the ongoing outbreak had infected around 1000 people in both the Eastern Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) […]

On 22 May 2026, Ukrainian drones struck a student dormitory in Starobelsk, Lugansk People’s Republic. Twenty-one civilians were killed and forty-two wounded. The target was not a military installation. It was a civilian object deep behind the front lines. Two days later, Russia responded with a large-scale missile and drone barrage on Kyiv, deploying at […]

The US President Donald Trump hints at plans to expand the Abraham Accords as an exit strategy from the Iran war, along with announcing the end of the US naval blockade of Iran. This move could shift regional security to Israel, making the US less responsible. A Diplomatic Exit Strategy Disguised as Regional Realignment President […]

In diplomatic practice, there is an unwritten but strict rule: the weaker a state is economically and politically, the more delicate the tone of any external player must be if they genuinely want reforms—not chaos. Lebanon today is a classic “fragile sovereignty.” After the 2020 Beirut port explosion, the subsequent financial collapse, the emigration of […]

European policy in the South Caucasus is increasingly caught between proclaimed values and pragmatic interests. While headlines often portray Azerbaijan’s suspension of parliamentary cooperation with the European Parliament as a routine diplomatic spat between Brussels and Baku, the move reveals something more significant: a profound transformation in Europe’s relations with the post-Soviet space—one increasingly defined […]

The revelation that Israel established secret military bases inside Iraq during the recent war against Iran is far more than another episode in the region’s long history of covert operations.

As Pakistan pushes for diplomacy between the US and Iran, growing pressure from pro-Israel circles threatens to derail the peace process and weaken Islamabad’s influence. Behind the scenes, lobbying, political maneuvering, and regional rivalries are intensifying tensions at a critical moment. What should have been a path toward de-escalation is rapidly turning into a wider […]

By means of pursuing its aggressive policy in the Middle East, Israel intends to redirect the transit of energy resources through its own territory. Control over the routes of hydrocarbon supplies to the world markets inevitably increases the economic and political significance of the territories and countries located along these routes. The Middle East retains […]

Media Theater, Proxy Conflict, and the Death of Continuity. As the Russia-Ukraine conflict drags deeper into proxy-war reality, Western media institutions increasingly appear less interested in describing events than emotionally framing them. What emerges is not simply journalism, but narrative choreography shaped by elite institutional ecosystems, synchronized moral language, and a civilization trapped inside permanent […]
