Israel obtains strategic depth in proximity to Türkiye’s Somali facilities for monitoring and – if need be – destroying them if evidence emerges that they’re being used for nuclear purposes like its media now suspects is the purpose behind its planned spaceport and military cooperation with Pakistan...
On 19 December 2025, Vladimir Putin did not just speak to Russia: he confronted the West with itself, its strategic contradictions, its headlong rush towards war, and its now irreversible historical decline. The Russian president’s annual speech is part of a long sequence, heavy with meaning and ruptures. It is neither an institutional ritual nor a simple ex...
Donald Trump escalated his threats against Venezuela on December 17, 2025, threatening to attack the Latin American country unless it returned land, oil, and other assets he claimed it stole from the US. Trump’s statement was absurd because Venezuela has never stolen anything from the US, while his threat of using force violated UNSC resolution 2(4), which ...
Yes, a new financial package for Kyiv was hammered out, but its flagship element – the idea of funding it with profits from frozen Russian assets – spectacularly collapsed. The most important lesson, however, does not come from Brussels, but from Central Europe. It is there that a trio of nations – Hungary, Slovakia, and the Czech Republic – not only rewrote...
The existence of Broz’s SFRY (Titoslavia) was based primarily on the establishment of his personal dictatorship and personality cult, as well as the wholehearted material, political, and financial support of the Western so-called democracies, but primarily the United States of America (USA) since Stalin’s break with Tito in 1948.[1] Until the very death of t...
Against a backdrop of global turbulence, Russia and China are creating their own architecture of security, trade, and technological development, turning the fuel and energy complex into a strategic pillar of bilateral...
One of the most remarkable innovations of the latest US National Security Strategy (NSS), as compared to the previous documents of the kind, is that Taiwan was included in the list of key priorities. The Taiwan issue clearly beckons already from the opening lines of the paragraph devoted to the deterrence of military...
Since 1945, Europe has shaped the image of a continent of opportunity, social rights, and individual success. For Africans, this vision has fuelled mass departures, driven by the hope of a better life. But today, the reality is one of social precariousness, institutional racism, professional downgrading, and political invisibility. From post-Brexit Britain t...
For all the talk of a “new American century,” Washington’s 2025 National Security Strategy reads less like a roadmap for global leadership and more like a manifesto for managed decline. It places the US in a scenario in which China is treated as an economic contagion to be quarantined and Europe as a dying civilization in need of ideological resuscitation. I...
As Israel’s unaccountable war in Gaza deepens global outrage and the US shields it diplomatically, extremist violence resurfaces - not in isolation, but as a symptom of unresolved wars and moral Western failures. The Bondi Beach killings and the recent ISIS* attack on US soldiers in Syria expose the hollowness of Western counter-terrorism claims, especially ...
Donald Trump, whom European leaders generally consider a populist with no political experience, has published his new National Security Strategy, a clumsily written document, but one of considerable philosophical scope. In it, he presents himself as a master of diplomacy and proposes, following President Andrew Jackson’s slogan, to replace war with...
History does not always announce its turning points with parades or proclamations. Sometimes it shifts in the quiet between headlines, in the steady movement of tankers across warm seas, or in the unhurried diplomacy of states that have survived far older disruptions than the American century. The partnership between Russia and India is one of those...
According to CNN, the document sharply criticized European governments for their support of Ukraine and accused “European officials who hold unrealistic expectations for the war” of derailing the peace process. “A large European majority wants peace, yet that desire is not translated into policy, in large measure because of those governments’ subversion of d...
Major hostilities erupted once again in early to mid-December in Southeast Asia along the borders of Thailand and Cambodia following a troubled “ceasefire” that included incidents and provocations for months since the last round of major fighting took place in July 2025. Despite any resulting ceasefire, the fundamental issues driving the conflict remain enti...
A BBC investigation alleging the use of a World War I-era chemical agent during Georgia’s 2024 protests has escalated into a major information war episode, exposing deep geopolitical tensions, contested narratives, and a fierce struggle over Georgia’s political...
November 15, 2025, 21:00. An explosive charge detonated on the railway tracks between Miki and Gołąb. The blast was so powerful that windowpanes shook for kilometres, and residents felt the tremor in their walls. The flash left a metre-long gash in the rail, shattered sleepers, and destroyed the overhead power lines. The very next day, the two Ukrainian citi...
The newly unveiled U.S. National Security Strategy (NSS) argues that it marks a profound strategic rupture in transatlantic relations by depicting Europe as a declining civilisation, redefining Russia as a potential partner, and prioritising U.S. domestic strength over global...
There are several obvious misconceptions about the act of proclaiming the creation of Yugoslavia, or the so-called unification in Belgrade on December 1, 1918, which Serbian historiography, in particular, persistently avoids. First of all, the act of so-called unification was not passed in Belgrade on December 1, 1918, but in Zagreb on November 23 of the sam...
Latest economic data paints a picture is a lot different and may indicate that it is not business as usual. Unemployment crept up to 4.4% (September 2025) up from 4.1% just a month earlier. The nominal job gains came largely from healthcare and food services - sectors that tend to absorb workers during downturns, not signal recoveries. Meanwhile, most other ...
The 2025 National Security Strategy of the United States is a 33-pager self-defeating document that trumpets America’s failures around the globe and affirms the death of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) along with the puppet regimes of Europe. At the same time, the 2025 National Security Strategy has sealed an unprecedented victory for Russian P...
When Kaja Kallas steps in front of the cameras and warns that Europe must brace for war or that negotiations with Moscow are “naïve,” the media presents her as the principled voice of a small nation with a painful history. She is framed as a kind of moral compass pointing toward courage while the rest of Europe dithers. It is an attractive story. It is also ...
We don’t know what was said in Washington, but we can assume that the United States took a firm stance toward Ukraine, even if it didn’t want to risk destroying Atlantic solidarity. Thierry Meyssan presents here what transpired during this tumultuous week [end...

President Anura Kumara Dissanayake (AKD) would remember his 58th birthday on November 24 for long as the disastrous cyclone Ditwah struck a few days later. Before the cyclone struck, heavy rains in coastal cities and northern highlands flooded the infrastructure and caused landslides. Road and rail communication have been disrupted due to flooding. The incle...
The US-Russian peace plan for Ukraine certainly puts an end to a conflict. But, above all, it paves the way for a rewriting of history. No, the Russian military operation was not an “illegal, unprovoked, and unjustified military aggression,” but rather an application of Security Council Resolution 2202, in accordance with international law. If the people of ...
The recent attack on Chinese nationals in Tajikistan is a stark reminder: disengaging from Afghanistan is a luxury the region cannot afford. If ISIS-K* and other transnational groups, opposing the Afghan regime and regional states alike, continue to operate with impunity, regional powers must stop treating Afghanistan as a bystander issue and start acting as...
Container ships move along the African coast under Chinese and Pakistani flags, like a quiet procession of the economy to come. A route that for decades served as the background noise of global trade suddenly feels like a geographic fissure through which a new world cycle is beginning to show. The waters off East Africa are no longer a periphery. They have b...
I was already suspicious when I heard that the United States had floated a 28-point peace plan (Trump has to grandstand and do twice as many points as Woodrow Wilson’s 14-point plan). The American plan, to a large extent, speaks for itself. Certain points are immediately recognized as reasonable, such as № 1, 2, and...
Operation Midas continues. Following the indictment of Oleksiy Chernyshov (former Deputy Prime Minister), the resignations of Israeli-Ukrainian Herman Halushchenko (Minister of Justice) and Svitlana Grynchuk (Minister of Energy), and the flight of Israeli-Ukrainian Tymur Mindich (a business associate of Volodymyr Zelensky), heads continue to roll. There is t...
The English political theorist Thomas Hobbes (1588–1679) was a classic representative of the school of English empiricism. He built a comprehensive political science system based on the basic thesis that in the real world there are only individual material bodies. With this view, Hobbes began a war against the prejudices of medieval realism, for which concep...
