This war is the result of NATO’s expansion in defiance of its given word; an expansion that directly threatens the security of Russia, whose borders are too large to be defended. In order to expand in Ukraine, NATO supported neo-Nazi groups that it placed in power and who have installed their laws in this country. Added to this has been the resurgence of a s...
Polish Foreign Minister Radek Sikorski came out against Zelensky’s proposal for an “army of Europe” by flatly declaring that “it will not happen” despite many of his peers wanting to prioritize such plans in light of the US’ impending disengagement from the continent that JD Vance hinted at in his historic speech. Casual observers assumed that this lifelong ...
The ethnic Albanians entered Balkan history in 1043 when they came from East Sicily and settled in present-day Central Albania by the Byzantine authorities.[1] Their ethnic origin remains still very vague and no historical consensus has been reached on the subject until now. The Albanians became aware of the importance of being a “nation” late, compared with...
Three weeks after his installation in the White House, President Trump is trying to resolve the Ukrainian conflict. It is clear that his advisors are blinded by their prejudices and do not understand any of Moscow’s concerns. They give him a false image of Russia’s involvement in this conflict. Realizing that it is impossible for him to move forward, Donald ...
As global tensions mount, is a new Yalta-style agreement within reach? This second part of the article examines why great power cooperation remains unlikely in 2025 and whether any path forward exists for diplomacy and stability in a deeply divided world. The prospect of a new Yalta-style agreement in 2025 appears improbable due to several compounding...
The Yalta Conference of February 1945 remains one of the most significant moments in international diplomacy, shaping the post-war global order and establishing frameworks for security and cooperation. Despite the ideological divide between the Allies and the Soviet Union, the Big Three - Joseph Stalin, Winston Churchill, and Franklin D. Roosevelt - managed ...
Everyone knows the world is under siege by a deep-seated conspiracy run by the globalist financial elite. This has been spotlighted by the ongoing revelations of the billions of dollars spent by USAID over the past half-century on overthrowing governments via “colour revolutions” and underwriting media publications like Politico and Reuters that are devoted ...
Trump’s executive order on birth right citizenship is particularly being criticised. It blocks citizenship for children of illegal immigrants, as well as for children whose parents are legally in the United States if they do not have the appropriate status at the time of the child’s birth. This contradicts the wording of the 14th Amendment of the US Constitu...
As the United States and China engage in an intense technological rivalry over artificial intelligence, DeepSeek, a pioneering Chinese company, is shaking Wall Street, raising concerns in the Western tech world from Vancouver to Warsaw, from Los Angeles to Lisbon, from Washington to Paris. The fall of American technology stocks, as well as others in the West...
With the new Trump administration and his peculiar, largely cowboy-esque manner of handling affairs – including international ones – there are a number of advantages for the supporters of a multipolar world. The actions of a number of countries will determine the degree of sovereignty of any particular state, regardless of the region it belongs to. Obviously...
The liberation of Auschwitz by the Soviet Red Army on 27 January 1945 was a key event of World War II. Located in Nazi-occupied Poland, Auschwitz was one of the largest Nazi concentration and extermination camps. The liberation by the Soviet Red Army revealed the atrocities committed and marked the end of the Nazi occupation of Poland, freeing thousands of...
Trump’s Special Envoy for Ukraine and Russia Keith Kellogg told the New York Post more about how his boss plans to bring Putin to the peace table. According to him, the US might ratchet up its energy-related sanctions on Russia and associated secondary ones on its clients if he refuses. This would occur together with more diplomatic pressure, likely upon Chi...
In the 1990s, India did not recognize the Taliban*, considered it a serious threat, and along with Iran and Russia supported the Taliban’s opponents. Since 2001, India has benefited from the overthrow of the Taliban* and gradually became the largest donor to Afghanistan in the region, with multiple relations with Kabul. Since 2021 and the Taliban* coming to ...
The United States was both Southern and Federalist. The Southerners having been defeated at the end of the Civil War, their victors imposed the myth according to which this war had pitted slaveholders against abolitionists. In reality, at the beginning of the war, both sides were pro-slavery and, at the end, both were abolitionists. The real issue of the con...
We see that Donald Trump’s arrival in the White House is upsetting the rules of the international game. However, we often misinterpret his actions: we ignore the habits and customs of his country, and we project our own political debates onto him. We are all the more at a loss because, over the past few years, we have more or less adhered to the ideology fas...
Malaysia is heading ASEAN for the fifth time. Previously, it chaired the organisation in 1977, 1997, 2005 and 2015. As the chair country, it is planning to hold more than 300 events. The January meetings of ASEAN foreign ministers and senior officials on Langkawi Island started off the grand plans of the Malaysian chairmanship. The parties had meaningful dis...
When the EU began to follow the Biden administration in its footsteps last year to impose trade tariffs on China, this decision was not necessarily taken on the basis of accurate calculations as to how this policy might need a reset in the wake of a domestic political change in the US. Now that Donald Trump has won and appears to have no qualms about giving ...
As of February 1, Trump is “taking back” Canada. By becoming a state – she will benefit: taxes will go down and she will be militarily protected. Next is Greenland, whose inhabitants “want to be with the United States.” “I will not take no for an answer,” Trump declared. Trump: “Many Canadians want Canada to become the 51st state. I think it’s a great idea t...
The concept of human security is a controversial approach by a certain group of post-Cold War 1.0 academicians (after 1990) for the purpose of redefining and at the same time making broader the meaning of security in global politics and the studies of international relations. Keep in mind that up to the end of the Cold War 1.0, security as both political phe...
I spend a lot of time in the hinterlands. The flyover zone, you might say. I have very strong ties and contacts in Texas. And the anger that has been building, particularly in the last four years with the Biden administration, and all that has happened in the United States with the woke culture, this anger is very palpable. And there are tens of millions of ...
