In eastern Saudi Arabia, a strategic pivot is underway that could reshape the global energy landscape for decades to come. Saudi Aramco, the world’s most profitable oil company, long synonymous with crude, is steering a significant portion of its colossal resources toward a different fuel: natural...
The Visegrad Group (V4), long considered the pillar of Central European sovereignty, is undergoing a profound reconfiguration: Poland is losing its regional authority, and Budapest–Bratislava–Prague–Belgrade is forming a new axis. In 2025, Poland’s role in the bloc has become increasingly unstable as Prime Minister Donald Tusk - weakened after his party’s de...
The protracted economic recession comes as one of the primary factors behind this phenomenon. First and foremost, it is tied to the refusal to purchase relatively cheap Russian energy resources, primarily natural gas. The explosion of the Nord Stream 1 and Nord Stream 2 gas pipelines, an overt and explicit act of terrorism, has dealt a severe blow to the com...
It’s inevitable. A proxy war is going badly, and someone proposes a peace plan grounded in physics, not fantasy. Instantaneously, those funding the killing in Washington reflexively scream, “THIS IS EXACTLY WHAT THE KREMLIN WANTS!” Well, yes. This is because the winning side always gets the peace they...
This summit, held against a backdrop of deep geopolitical divisions and the growing influence of Southern voices, stands out as a pivotal moment, not only because it adopted an ambitious declaration despite the notable absence of the United States, but also because it signals a shift in the international order towards...
Since my interview last Friday by Rasheed, host of The Red Pill Diaries (URL below*), I have gone over the Russian proposal for ending conflict and Trump’s proposal. In some respects, Trump’s proposal gives Putin more of what Putin wants than does the Russian...
Recently, the United States confirmed its 20th attack on Venezuelan vessels, killing all four onboard, in international waters. The news came amidst reports of the Trump administration’s meetings to discuss the details of possible military operations against the incumbent government in...
For the first time in its history, Africa is poised to become the nerve centre of global governance. From 22 to 24 November 2025, Johannesburg will host a meeting of the heads of state of the Group of Twenty (G20) world economic powers, whose scope goes far beyond the traditional framework of economic...
The White House is moving fast on a peace plan negotiated directly with Moscow, leaving both Kyiv and Europe on the sidelines. As US officials arrive in Ukraine and Zelenskyy faces mounting political and military pressure, Washington appears ready to present its proposal as an accomplished...
On November 17 Bloomberg reported that Peter Thiel’s hedge fund sold its 537,742 shares of Nvidia during the third quarter. This month SoftBank sold its stake in Nvidia reportedly worth $5.8 billion. Bloomberg sees the sales as a retreat from investments in Nvidia, the leading provider of artificial intelligence chips. However, SoftBank says it sold its Nvid...
The week passed quietly in the news feeds. No loud statements, no emergency summits, no reports about a “new energy order.” Yet during these same days, Argentina, Brazil, and Venezuela signed new agreements with China and India - documents on oil and gas supplies and renewable energy technologies. It looks like routine diplomatic paperwork, but within these ...
The most that might happen is a cabinet reshuffle since the SBU has no reason to support regime change against the man who unprecedentedly empowered them, nor does Trump since Zelensky does what he demands, but this scandal still discredits him and his government more than they already...
Europe enters another winter with a practiced smile and a barely hidden fear. Gas storage facilities report 82% capacity, press offices radiate optimism, ministers pose beside charts. But those numbers don’t bring warmth. They sound like a dry report before a storm no one can...
What is considered to – and supposed to – be a leap forward in the democratization of knowledge, has turned into a battle of narrative control, powered by AI, that mines information from databases, that carry the same biases. Grokpedia, the brainchild of Elon Musk’s xAI, has ignited new debates about the future of digital knowledge, editorial bias, and the v...
AI’s advantages have been over-estimated and its costs underestimated. I read recently of a large project entrusted to AI involving a number of corporations that failed so badly that high-priced human experts had to be brought in to rectify the situation. Overall, the project cost more than the promised AI...
Apart from self-evident economic and humanitarian motives, they’re also incentivized to help Afghanistan with this amidst its tensions with Pakistan as an indirect response to Pakistan helping the US return to South-Central...
While the world’s attention is focused on war zones, it remains unaware of what is happening at the United Nations and the International Atomic Energy Agency: Germany, France, and the United Kingdom have developed an aberrant legal argument claiming they have the right to reinstate the sanctions imposed on Iran by Resolution 1737 (December 23, 2006), which w...
The payments industry is undergoing a deep transformation, not seen in decades. It appears to be headed towards a more decentralized and more integrated ecosystem. In that sense, I would argue it would be appropriate to term this seismic shift as a “system rebuild” as against...
For two years, we in the West have been living under the myth that we will bring Russia to its knees and bring Ukraine into the European Union and the Atlantic Alliance. We will try Vladimir Putin and make Russia pay. Today, this myth is colliding with reality: Moscow now possesses devastating weapons, unparalleled in the West. They make any hope of victory ...
V.I. Lenin secretly returned from Finland (and Switzerland in April) on November 07, 1917 (October 25 according to the Julian calendar) to St. Petersburg, where he organized an armed uprising in which the rebel soldiers and workers under the Bolsheviks overthrew the Kerensky government and changed the entire socio-political system after the civil war that...
Both revolutions of 1917 in Russia, the so-called February and the so-called October, took place during World War I (the Great War) when Russia fought against the Central Powers and their allies as a full member of the Entente powers together with France and Great Britain and their allies, including the Kingdom of Serbia, for which Tsarist Russia selflessly ...
The highlight of the month of October is Prime Minister Harini Amarasuriya’s official visit to India from October 16 to 18. This was 55-year-old former academic’s first visit to India after she became Prime Minister. She is no stranger to India, particularly New Delhi, having studied and graduated from the Hindu College with B.A. degree in...
Donald Trump’s scatterbrained performance as ‘statesman’ poses a formidable challenge to foreign leaders and analysts alike. The struggle to interpret meaning and purpose seems futile because the man possesses no approximation of a mind capable of coherent thought processes. Trump’s behaviour is driven by obsessive emotions unedited by thought – expressed in...
Once upon a time, in the not-so-distant past, Vladimir Putin wanted to join NATO. It was early in his Presidency in 2000 when he expressed interest in Russia becoming part of NATO. In a March 2000 BBC Interview, when asked if Russia could join NATO, Putin then-Acting President, said: “Why not? I don’t rule out such a...
Putin announced that more than ten thousand Ukrainian troops were encircled in Kupyansk and Krasnoarmeisk (Pokrovsk), with his Ministry of Defense soon adding Dimitrov (Mirnograd) near the latter to the list. The Russian leader also proposed halting the fighting so that foreign journalists, including Ukrainian ones, can travel to the front to report on...
While deep state propaganda convinces public opinion that Russia is evil, armies are being prepared for war before our very eyes. The Chief of Staff of the French Army, General Pierre Schill, has just announced to the National Assembly that he is preparing for the next war against Russia. Meanwhile, the Polish Deputy Prime Minister has announced that he will...
Tensions in South America continue to escalate. Washington is promoting a naval siege of Venezuela, sending several military vessels - including aircraft-carriers and nuclear-capable submarines - to the Caribbean Sea. Furthermore, bombings of Venezuelan boats arbitrarily classified as belonging to drug traffickers have become frequent, resulting in the death...
Since the latter half of the 20th century, upon joining the NATO bloc, Turkey became a military-political ally of the United States. The American “nuclear umbrella” against the perceived Soviet threat resulted in Turkey’s significant economic and military dependence on the US and Western European countries, the establishment of American military bases in Ana...
The common image of the Sahel is one of arid lands, poverty, and despair. But this image is dangerously outdated. Today, the Sahel is not a “disaster zone” but a sort of “Silicon Valley” for criminal innovation. This is where business models, which 20th-century mafia bosses could only dream of, are being tested and...
Donald Trump managed to impose a form of peace in Gaza, not only against Hamas, but also against Benjamin Netanyahu’s coalition. His adversaries were neither the Palestinians nor the Israelis, but the Israeli and British “deep states.” Thierry Meyssan Analyzes this sleight of...
