The Biden administration, having lost both presidential and congressional elections to the Republicans, appears to be following a scorched-earth policy. Before Trump is sworn in, and before he can move towards a negotiated resolution of the Russia-Ukraine (NATO) military conflict in 2025, the outgoing administration seems willing to make issues much more com...
On December 3, 2024, South Korean ultra-right and isolated President Yoon Suk Yeol declared emergency martial law in a surprise nationally televised address, citing the need to protect the country from “North Korean communist forces” and “anti-state forces.” He framed the move as a necessary step to “rebuild and protect” South Korea from “falling into ruin.”...
Trump’s ability to “somehow” navigate this without igniting further regional unrest or alienating his political base and major donors will be a delicate balancing act. His unequivocal support for Israel may not hold steady, as global opinion grows ever more critical of the Zionist state, and its racist and genocidal policies. Even Trump has hinted at this, u...
Belarusian media reported last week about the West’s alleged plot to destabilize and then invade their country. Existing information warfare campaigns are meant to facilitate the recruitment of more sleeper cell agents, who’ll later stage a terrorist insurgency using Ukrainian-procured arms. Mercenaries will then invade from the south, carry out drone strike...
The missile’s capabilities represent a serious non-nuclear means of striking targets anywhere in Europe without the collective West’s ability to sufficiently defend against it. The possibility of the West now facing direct consequences for what has so far been a proxy war, may reintroduce rational thought across the West otherwise not required when spending ...
Thursday [Nov 28-ed] was an historic day for African geopolitics since Chad announced that it’s expelling French troops while Senegal said that it plans to do the same in the near future. These are France’s last military outposts in the Sahel after it was expelled from Burkina Faso, Mali, and Niger, which now form the Sahelian Alliance that’s also merging in...
Speaking at the 17th session of the UN Forum on Minority Issues, I would like to remind the august gathering that I spoke at this forum here in Geneva on 13th May 2003, requesting the UN to look into Bangladesh, as it was moving toward becoming a monolithic Islamic country, and I highlighted the plight of Hindu and other religious...
Russia has deployed thousands of North Korean soldiers to defend its Kursk region, attacked in August by Ukrainian integral nationalists. Washington considers this fact as a development of the war it has been waging since 1950, despite a ceasefire, against the Korean and Chinese communists, even more than as a development of the one it has been waging throug...
At the transformative G20 Leaders’ Summit in Rio de Janeiro on 18-19 November 2024, a bold declaration was adopted, reaffirming the determination to address global challenges and foster sustainable and inclusive growth. This historic meeting marks a milestone in global governance with the integration of the African Union as a full member. Recognizing the dev...
We are experiencing times of global transition. Where we have been is self-evident. Where the world is headed remains obscure. Some states are implacably resisting that transition; others strive to foster a modified international system that conforms to emerging realities. The actions of governments in the two categories are reinforcing each other’s commitme...
The surprise victory of populist conservative-nationalist Calin Georgescu in the first round of Romania’s presidential election gives this heterodox outsider the chance to enter into office next month. The Mainstream Media is apoplectic since he criticized Romania’s hosting of the US’ missile defense infrastructure and is against perpetuating NATO’s proxy wa...
These extremists, who often believed themselves “untouchable” due to their alignment with the interests of the Western planetary minority, are now realising that accountability for their crimes is inevitable. Practices long employed by the regimes of this minority — particularly Washington — are now being mirrored by proponents of a multipolar world order, i...
When Russian President Vladimir Putin visits India at the end of this or the beginning of next year, his meetings will come against the backdrop of New Delhi’s principled neutrality on the war in and near Ukraine. India has always abstained from anti-Russian resolutions tabled at multilateral fora like the United Nations and has refused to comply with the We...
Donald Trump is not a Republican, although he was supported by the Republican Party. He defines himself as a Jacksonian and has made numerous references to former President Andrew Jackson (1829-1837). To understand him and judge his actions, it is necessary to know those of his predecessor. In the history of the United States, General Jackson tried to transf...
Putin surprised the world on Thursday [Nov 21-ed] when he addressed the nation to inform them that Russia had tested a new hypersonic medium-range missile earlier that morning in an attack against a famous Soviet-era industrial complex in the Ukrainian city of Dnepropetrovsk. He explained that this was a response to the US and UK recently allowing Ukraine to...
As Germany struggles with an unprecedented political and economic crisis, its commitment to supporting Ukraine remains under intense public scrutiny. The stagnating economy, which leads to reduced revenue collection, is aggravated by a constitutional brake on borrowing. Infrastructure and social investments are the primary areas being affected by the economi...
The summit, attended by the leaders of more than 50 Arab and Islamic countries, including participants of the extraordinary summit of the Organisation of Islamic Cooperation (OIC) and the League of Arab States (LAS), adopted a final statement unanimously emphasising the importance of the Palestinian...
The aggressive policy of Prime Minister B. Netanyahu is contributing to the escalation of military tensions in the Middle East. The war with Hamas has long surpassed the perimeter of the Gaza Strip; the Israel Defence Forces (IDF), with the active support of national intelligence agencies, are carrying out targeted strikes on the territories of Iraq, Syria a...
Recent moves by the emerging multipolar order, particularly Russia, could become a hangman’s noose ready to slip over the heads of many Western leaders. At the recent summit in the Black Sea resort of Sochi, Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov cited President Putin’s pledge of “total support” for Africa, including the struggle against terrorism and extrem...
It was recently assessed that “The Clock Is Ticking For Russia To Achieve Its Maximum Goals In The Ukrainian Conflict” after the Wall Street Journal reported that Trump plans to organize a Western/NATO peacekeeping mission in Ukraine without the US’ participation in order to freeze the conflict. This is obviously a lot easier said than done. Here’s what can ...
