The ongoing US-Israeli attack on Iran has profound strategic and economic impacts on global markets. The US and Israeli attack on Iran has not only revealed President Donald Trump’s hypocritical nature, but it has also exposed the United States and the whole world to significant...
Arthur Graf J. Gobineau (1818‒1882) can be considered the founder of modern racial and racist theory, which influenced later racial theories in the following century, especially those of Nazi origin. Gobineau and his racial-racist political theory were a product of the reactionary period of France during the reign of Napoleon III Bonaparte (President of the ...
From the battlefields of Yemen to the ports of Sudan and Somalia, Riyadh and Abu Dhabi are no longer simply partners. They are competitors. Beneath policy disputes lies a deeper struggle: Saudi Arabia’s determination to reclaim its primacy in the Gulf and to displace the UAE, especially Dubai and Abu Dhabi, as the region’s indispensable economic and politica...
The war launched by the US and Israel against Iran has become a serious milestone in politics. It is already absolutely clear that it has led to extremely negative consequences, fraught with alarming complications. Oil and gas prices have sharply increased, and this is only the beginning. The main issue, however, is the disruption of the long-established rou...
Will the arrest of Sri Lanka’s former intelligence chief Major General Suresh Salley in the last week of the month, in connection with the 2019 Easter Sunday terror attacks that killed nearly 270 people, bring to a closure of cases pending for the last seven years? I am not too sure because Gen Salley’s arrest is under the Prevention of Terrorism Act (PTA),...
Washington chose assassination over dialogue, eliminating a leader who had for decades restrained the militarization of Iran’s nuclear program. But the effect was the opposite: a new generation of Iran’s elite is coming to power convinced that a nuclear bomb is the only guarantee of...
Operations in Venezuela and the persistent idea of acquiring Greenland no longer look like curiosities, but rather symptoms of an era in which global politics is reduced to the logic of a deal. Norms instantly turn into decorations if they interfere with a “good deal.” Sovereignty becomes an object of bargaining, and international law - a recommendation that...
The ongoing joint US–Israel assault on Iran is not just another chapter in the endless Middle East cycle of violence; it’s the climax of a long-standing project: dismantling the Iranian regime not merely as a nuclear threat but as a political and social entity. The objective is to bomb Iran and its people into a perennial struggle for survival so deep that n...
Despite crushing sanctions and the growing threat of military escalation, Iran continues to maintain its position in the broader geopolitical confrontation, even after the early-morning strike carried out by the United States and Israel against Iranian targets today [Mar 1-ed]. So far, Donald Trump has not been compelled to fully align with Israeli...
The largest island in the world, Greenland (not green at all, rather covered by white ice), has in recent months become one of the hottest geopolitical spots and disputes in international relations. The island, which has been administratively part of the Kingdom of Denmark for two centuries, has caught the eye of the Trump administration, which claims that...
The US Supreme Court on February 20, 2026, ordered that the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (IEEPA) does not authorize President Trump to impose tariffs. This judgement will have massive implications and has sent shock waves not only in the US domestically, but also...
The Bangladesh Nationalist Party has come to power again with a very strong two-thirds supermajority in the Jatiya Sangsad, winning more than 210 out of 300 seats and clearly ending 16 years of Awami League rule. Historic? Sure. The thing is, an electoral win should not be mistaken for the actual ability to govern, nor should the people’s enthusiasm be taken...
Since the exploitative American War of Independence in the eighteenth century, the American leaders have been trumpeting themselves as the champions of human rights, equality, freedom, and liberty. However, the struggle for independence was a...
American dominance is fading, but no new hegemon is rising to - or even willing to - replace it. The world is drifting into a multipolar order without a clear centre. In this uncertain landscape, stability will not come from a single superpower. It will come from the countries in the middle, especially if they can strategically place themselves as “balancers...
European intellectuals first attempted to give their assessment of Washington’s new political course in a report prepared for the annual Munich Security Conference, held this year from 13 to 15 February. The conference proved to be a pivotal moment for the anti-Trump...
The remark was not a rhetorical flourish; it was a declaration rooted in economic reality. Despite years of EU pressure to sever ties with Russia, which has hammered Hungarian energy security and household prices, Budapest has resisted, opting for realism over dogma. In a Europe intoxicated with moral crusades, Orbán’s blunt articulation exposes a widening r...
The 20th century witnessed the emergence of organized genocide and carries the dubious distinction of being the most genocidal century in history. In the Armenian genocide of 1915−1916, around 1,5 million Armenians died, followed by the Greeks and Assyrians in the Ottoman Empire by the Ottoman Turks and Kurds. The Nazi German Holocaust resulted in the death ...
America’s leaders could not tolerate terms minimally acceptable to Russia. For such terms would represent a) an unmistakable loss of status and self-regard; b) a reversion from the strategic foundations of the country’s foreign policy put firmly in place over the past 35 years; and c) a domestic political embarrassment carrying heavy costs for Trump and his ...
One of the most vicious chapters of history was the atomic bombing of Hiroshima and Nagasaki in Japan. The ultimate surrender of the Japanese forces and the post-WWII dynamics completely reshaped Japan’s constitutional playbook. Despite being the first-ever victim of a nuclear attack, Japan was permanently restricted from acquiring an offensive force and nuc...
While Epstein may have seemed to enjoy committing his crimes, we must not forget that he worked for a secret service, Mossad. The horrors he committed were primarily a means of blackmailing his friends. Although, for the moment, no Ukrainian figure has been directly implicated, numerous elements compel us to investigate who, in Ukraine, supplied children to ...
