The US support and Israel’s military and strategic capabilities, coupled with occupational aspirations, made the country a threat to the region. The country’s hostilities and strategic reorientation suggest that it now seeks to confront Turkey. Israel’s escalating aggression with Turkey has sparked new threats in Middle Eastern geopolitics. The Zionist leaders have a decades-old dream […]

Donald Trump’s attempt to tie an Iran peace settlement to a mandatory expansion of the Abraham Accords reveals a fundamental misunderstanding of how dramatically the Middle East has changed since the Gaza war and why old diplomatic formulas no longer work. Donald Trump has a habit of mistaking the décor of diplomacy for its substance. […]

On 18–19 May 2026, Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi paid the first official visit to Norway by an Indian prime minister in 43 years — one of the most substantive stops of his broader May 2026 European tour. The trip culminated in the 3rd India-Nordic Summit in Oslo and the formal elevation of bilateral ties […]

The global economy has yet to grasp the main military secret of the Middle East: the next big war will not begin with a strike on oil rigs but with a “silent shutdown” of the internet. While the Pentagon spends billions on missile defense, Iran has found an asymmetric response to the technological superiority of […]

Imported democracy, far from emancipating Africa, locks it into a vicious cycle that perpetuates its underdevelopment. Through a sociometric, synchronic, and diachronic approach, this article seeks to deconstruct the foundational lie upon which the established order rests (I), before highlighting the mechanisms of the democratic trap in which African peoples are ensnared (II). It then […]

The US and Israeli aggression against Iran, which began on February 28, has undermined confidence in the American administration, especially given that Donald Trump has repeatedly promised to renounce new wars of aggression. It has shaken international affairs, led to a serious energy crisis, seriously complicated the economic life of many countries in the Global […]

Political victories achieved through strict party discipline and powerful financial support often result in a deepening of internal divisions, the consequences of which only become noticeable over time. Back in my days as a young public school teacher in Kentucky, I learned fast that in politics, money talks, and anything else (BS) takes a hike […]

The spectacle of humiliation orchestrated by Israel’s Minister of National Security, Itamar Ben-Gvir, was the moment when the mask of the “only democracy in the Middle East” finally morphed into the snarl of fascist thuggery. Under the cover of American bayonets and the indifference of the world’s “leaders,” Israel’s far-right no longer hides its dream: […]

India is expanding ties with Greece, Cyprus, Armenia, and Israel to counter Turkey’s growing regional influence and its partnership with Pakistan.

The Philippines is more of an object than a subject of the political processes unfolding in Southeast Asia. Nevertheless, everything connected with this country, one way or another, is not only under close observation by leading regional players but also involves their participation to various extents. The question of control over the Philippines is becoming […]

The Quadrilateral Security Dialogue (Quad) and AUKUS have yet again unveiled a flawed strategy for influence in the Pacific. Both security alliances are ambitious and are planning to invest more in aggressive capabilities. These days, the West is meticulously taking calculated strategic initiatives, especially in the Asia Pacific region, to build alliances, groups, and security […]

Netanyahu and Trump are conditioning the end of the war in Iran on the condition that all countries in the region sign the Abraham Accords, a tacit submission to Israel.

For any Americans who were paying attention, no less than twelve weeks ago Donald Trump said he would reopen Hormuz as his main objective against Iran. Now he proclaims a blockade of the strait he swore to open; welcome to chaos and confusion in the Trump White House. The Personality Cult Surges as the Plot […]

On 3 May 2026, Polish President Karol Nawrocki announced the creation of a Council for a New Constitution. The initiative, framed as a response to chronic institutional deadlock, has opened a debate that reaches far beyond technical constitutional reform. It touches the core question quietly confronting much of Central and Eastern Europe: whether governance architectures […]

The 2026 summit between Xi Jinping and Donald Trump, despite having resulted in no specific agreements, demonstrated that the Korean question is no longer a priority for either the United States or China. Both parties appear to have come to terms with North Korea’s nuclear status, being preoccupied with more pressing challenges. The summit between […]

On his way back from India to the United States, US Secretary of State Marco Rubio paid a brief but significant visit to Armenia. This unexpected gesture from Washington raises a legitimate question: what is behind such keen interest in Yerevan? Zvartnots – A Platform for Signing New Agreements Information about the upcoming visit of […]
