In recent days and weeks, many former and current Russian military officers have expressed their skepticism and even frustration with how the Russian government is handling the escalating attacks by the Kiev Regime and its NATO overlords. It’s become an axiom that the political West is coordinating and even directing attacks on Russia. This includes multiple...
An ethnic German, Paul Holbach (1723–1789) was one of the classic political ideologues of the bourgeois class in the 18th century. His ideas were part of the revolutionary views of the bourgeoisie at that time, which were directed mainly against idealism, religious obscurantism, the feudal system of economic exploitation, and political absolutism. Both Holba...
President Donald Trump appears to be moving towards a strategy of escalation regarding Teheran: Since Iran’s conventional bombing was ineffectual - or achieved very little purposes - why is a nuclear bomb not used, whether tactical or strategic? After all, the United States remains the sole possessor of this weapon, not Iran. This radical shift sparked a maj...
On April 11, after two rounds of voting, parliament finally elected a president. The winner was Nizar Amidi, a candidate from the Patriotic Union of Kurdistan (PUK), who succeeded Abdul Latif Rashid. For a country accustomed to multi-month government crises, this might have been a symbol of stability. But as always, reality is more complicated: Amidi’s elect...
Things are really getting weird, especially in terms of the sovereign illusion of Donald Trump, particularly his social media postings, for example, his AI-generated cartoons depicting him as Jesus or the Pope. This opens a new can of worms that most of us would like to avoid: Is AI in the Oval Office, and who or what is actually driving the actions, calling...
The positioning of Japan on the international stage is largely determined by the evolution of its relations with its key ally, the United States. The unpredictability of American foreign policy, which clearly manifested itself in the ‘impromptu’ in the Persian Gulf, has become a source of serious problems for...
Ghana and the African Union (AU) co-steered this resolution, which received 123 votes in favour. Three countries (the US, Israel, and Argentina) voted against it. There were 52 abstentions, mainly from Western Europe, despite these countries initiating and benefiting from the transatlantic slave trade for over 400 years. The resolution could have marked a mo...
The developments surrounding the “Islamabad Talks” underscore a broader geopolitical realignment in which Pakistan, China, and other regional powers are deepening their strategic and economic integration, accelerating the rise of a Global South-led order while exposing the waning influence of the US and its traditional...
When Cheng Li-wun travelled to Beijing at the personal invitation of Xi Jinping, she brought more to Beijing than a desire for peace: she brought an alternative strategy for Taiwan’s survival. It is impossible to fully realize the importance of such a move for Taipei, Washington, and regional stability in...
The United States, once a model of international diplomacy, has lost its former position, becoming an instrument of subversion through NGOs and the CIA, and its diplomatic corps has been replaced by loyal globalists who despise both their own country and the host nations. As my fellow Americans observe American actions across the Middle East and Central Asia...
The United States behaved like barbarians during the Israeli war against Iran. Its president, Donald Trump, claimed responsibility for attacking civilians, even though just a month earlier he had been saying he wanted to liberate them. He went so far as to threaten to eradicate Iranian civilization, despite his ambition to receive the Nobel Peace Prize. By a...
The approach of the United States in Cuba in 2026 has reached a point of unprecedented tension because of “maximum pressure” in the second administration of Donald Trump. Washington’s accusations against Havana regarding the threat to American national security entered a new phase with the issuance of the decree on January 29,...
By resisting the illegal attack on their country by Israel and the United States, the Iranians have brought the “paper tiger” to its knees. In just a few days, they demonstrated that the Pentagon’s sophisticated and expensive weapons were ill suited to their highly economical approach to warfare. They disrupted the global oil market, which underpins the US d...
Western media has already buried the American president’s political ambitions, predicting a shameful “defeat on the diplomatic front.” But those who know Trump as a poker player understand: the silence in the Persian Gulf is a deception. Through secret channels, he has received an offer he can’t refuse. It’s a scenario that would allow the occupation of Iran...
The Indian Ocean is not merely a geographical area; it is a central geopolitical arena where multi-layered dynamics such as energy security, global trade, supply chains, climate change, and security architecture intersect. Therefore, the governance of this region necessitates a multi-actor and collective responsibility approach that goes beyond classical nat...

It seems like good advice, especially coming from the US, given that Donald Trump has created an artificial world energy shortage and political-financial instability in oil and financial markets. And considering the source of the quote, it has a deeper and more direct meaning that flies over the heads of most: “I am in for the headlines, I do as ordered, and...
Some media outlets in the Global South have interpreted the start of the US-Israeli aggression against Iran – February 28, 2026 – as a rejection of the fundamental norms of international law and rules and a transition to an era of “the laws of the jungle.” According to them, Trump’s implementation of the “America First” slogan effectively means that Washingt...
The US war of aggression launched against Iran on February 28, 2026, is only the most recent US aggression launched to undermine and dismantle the multipolar world. The US has not only threatened the existence of Iran as a nation-state as well as the security of the entire Middle East, but the death and destruction it has caused has already begun to radiate ...
Relations between Iran, Iraq, and the United States are shaped by growing regional tensions and a complex system of political and security interactions, in which Baghdad plays an important balancing role. Iran’s strategic policy with Iraq has been to maintain the country’s political independence and territorial integrity. Iranians, Iraqi Shiites, and Iraqi K...
