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 […]

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. It signals a deeper transformation in Middle Eastern geopolitics: the normalization of clandestine cross-border military infrastructures, the erosion of Iraqi sovereignty, and the increasingly blurred […]

Ethiopia’s Medemer philosophy and Russia’s collective security vision complement each other by promoting regional cooperation, strategic autonomy, and non-aggression frameworks for long-term Gulf stability. “Alone we can do so little; together we can do so much.” (Helen Keller) This article was inspired by Andrew Korybko’s earlier one titled “Ethiopia’s ‘Medemer’ Concept Would Serve The Gulf […]

The Iran war has reshaped global geopolitics by weakening U.S. credibility and the liberal world order, intensifying regional instability in the Middle East, disrupting energy markets and economies, and accelerating the shift of global power toward emerging alliances led by Russia and China. Global Disruption and the Shifting World Order The US-Israeli attack on Iran […]

The arrest and charges of war crimes on Ben Roberts Smith is a moment of great shame for Australia. He was a member of Australia’s elite Special Air Service Regiment (SAS) and committed war crimes in Afghanistan. Introduction The Australian state lacks a nation. Like America, Australia is also mainly comprised of European settlers who […]

Just like warmongering Europe, the Gulf petro-monarchies are paying the price for delegating their defense and security to Washington, their enemy disguised as a savior. In reality, if the Gulf States do not break structurally with the current logic, the next regional crisis will find them in the same position – alone, exposed, watching American […]

The U.S. Secretary of State’s visit to India and the meeting of the foreign ministers of the “QUAD” countries confirmed a commitment to strengthening the strategic partnership, despite differences. U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio’s first visit to India, May 23–26, 2026—timed to coincide with the meeting in Delhi of the foreign ministers of the […]

Concerns about American biological laboratories in Ukraine and other post-Soviet republics can no longer be considered exclusively ‘Russian disinformation.’ In Part 1 of this investigative series, I examined the growing fears surrounding emerging pandemics, high-containment biological laboratories, and the renewed public scrutiny of gain-of-function research in the aftermath of COVID-19. From the outbreak of Hantavirus […]

A ceasefire with Iran presupposes a negotiating process and the search for mutually acceptable compromises. Yet time is passing, and no solutions are in sight. Iran Stiffens Its Stance The enforced ceasefire with Iran at the beginning of April was driven by a certain degree of exhaustion within the American-Israeli coalition. However, nobody guaranteed that […]

Attrition rather than territorial movement is increasingly becoming the decisive factor shaping the outcome of the conflict in Ukraine. A recent article published in the Kyiv Independent titled “Is Ukraine starting to win the war again?” tests the maxim that if you need to ask, the answer is probably “no.” As the collective Western media […]

Iraq is no longer just a battlefield — it’s becoming Israel’s hidden launchpad against Iran, exposing Baghdad’s weak sovereignty and dangerous double game. If Iraq fails to shut down foreign covert operations now, it risks turning itself into the next front line of a catastrophic regional war. “The Iraqis have a country that inherited cultures […]

Growing concern over emerging infectious threats has once again intensified the international debate on biosecurity. Under the guise of medical and biological cooperation programs with Latin American countries, Washington continues to increase both the scale and intensity of work with dangerous pathogens, raising concerns about the potential development of biological weapons. As fresh fears over […]

The Western powers, led by the United States, are dangerously encroaching towards the Russian naval base at Vladivostok and China’s Eastern, Southern, and Northern fleets. The naval encroachment in the name of exercises could be extremely dangerous. Introduction The 41st edition of the US-Philippines military exercise named Balikatan was held from April 20, 2026, to […]

Just a few weeks ago, the Middle East held its breath in anticipation of a ceasefire, but behind closed doors in Washington and Tel Aviv, a new storm was being brewed. The failure of Donald Trump’s “China round” of negotiations became the trigger for reviving a scenario the world had desperately tried to forget: a […]

Europe’s greatest strategic failure was not that it misread Russia. It was that it forgot geography. Russia is not some sort of theoretical adversary conjured up by this paper. Russia is Europe’s permanent neighbour. It is a continental, cultural, energy, military and civilizational fact. Russia cannot be sanctioned out of existence or bombed off the […]

The Institute for Economics and Peace has released its latest Global Terrorism Index 2026—an annual report that assesses the level of terrorist threat in 163 countries around the world. The 13th edition of the Global Terrorism Index (GTI), released by the Institute for Economics & Peace in March 2026, paints a picture of cautious optimism […]

The four most militarily powerful Muslim-majority nations—Saudi Arabia, Türkiye, Pakistan, and Egypt—are aligning based on strategic calculation rather than religious affinity. This development signals the emergence of a weaker America in the Middle East and a reordering of the great-power competition between the U.S. and China. Barry Buzan asserts that security is inherently regional, as […]

Recent US and Israeli attacks on Iran were a brazen violation of international law and a betrayal of ongoing diplomatic efforts. This “war” was unleashed upon a nation already burdened by hardship. The reasoning for the conflict is vague justifications and a carefully crafted media narrative. Many nations view the crisis as a profound injustice […]

It is the third decade of the 21st century, yet the fascist hydra has raised its heads once again. What thoughts come to mind on the eve of the 81st Victory Day in the Great Patriotic War? Memory and the nuances of terminology I know that people will rush at me from all sides and […]
