The Epstein affair is the greatest scandal of modern times. In its dimension, in the scope of participants representing a cross-section of elites here and abroad, in the intersection of multiple criminal and crassly unethical activities: sex trafficking and rape of minors, blackmail, financial duplicity, espionage, treason, abuse of their powers by public ag...
Warren Buffett, one of the world’s most renowned billionaire financiers, famously declared in 2011: “Of course there is a class struggle, but it is my class - the rich class - that is waging this war. And we are winning it.” The labour reform bill promoted by the Argentine Executive Branch is proof of this. It is not something new, much less something modern...
The armed attack on a high-ranking officer of the General Staff of the Russian Armed Forces is not merely an incident. It is a meticulously planned operation targeting the very core of Russia’s defense and diplomatic apparatus. The target of the assassination attempt was Lieutenant General Vladimir Alexeyev, First Deputy Head of the Main Directorate of the G...
The European Central Bank (ECB) President Christine Lagarde has recently called for Europe to break its dependence on American payment networks, notably Visa and Mastercard. Not surprisingly, the call for “European Strategic Autonomy” has resonated with many European...
The most scandalous part of the Indo-US trade deal was Trump’s claim that “[Modi] agreed to stop buying Russian Oil, and to buy much more from the United States and, potentially, Venezuela.” Modi confirmed that a deal had indeed been reached, but he didn’t confirm the details, while his Trade Minister only reaffirmed India’s long-standing policy that it’ll c...
It should not come as any surprise that a US Navy carrier task force is heading in the direction of the Middle East with the supposed purpose of attacking Iran, AGAIN, as all signs have been pointing to that for a long time. The way it is being reported in the media, however, is far more revealing. This is without much fanfare, and far less important stories...
Sri Lanka had weathered political, economic and climatic maelstrom in the last three years after the Aragalaya – spontaneous uprising of the people - dethroned the Rajapaksas from power in 2022. During the last two years President Anura Kumara Dissanayake and his left-leaning National Peoples Power (NPP) government had hopefully come to terms with the harsh ...
The North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO), a military-political alliance, was signed in Washington on April 4, 1949, by the governments of the United States, Canada, Great Britain, France, the Netherlands, Italy, Portugal, Belgium, Norway, Denmark, Luxembourg, and Iceland. Entered into force on August 24, 1949, it has expanded to the present day; Greece...
This legislation will exempt gold and silver coins from sales tax in Florida. It also means that within Florida, there will be a means of payment independent of digital money created by governments for the purpose of controlling the population, its behaviour, and it’s expressed views, in order that governments can rule via official...
The collapse of the global order will not begin with a war in Asia but with the realization that rules no longer bind the strong and alliances no longer oblige the powerful. At Davos, European and Canadian leaders did not merely criticize US policy; they questioned the durability of the postwar system...
The European Union, which has just woken up to Donald Trump’s United States, doesn’t know how to react to the breakdown of the transatlantic link. It can only do so as it has always done, with each political crisis, by strengthening its federalism and its dependence on Washington. This maladaptation inevitably leads it to...
On 23 January 2026, the “Unclassified” version of the United States 2026 National Defence Strategy was published. The document is published every four years to outline the aims and objectives of the US Department of War. These guidelines are carefully prepared in light of the National Security Strategy, which is outlined by the US President and the Departmen...
The United States officially unveiled the charter of the Board of Peace at the World Economic Forum’s annual summit in Davos, Switzerland. This marked the official launch of the second phase of the controversial 20-point Gaza Peace Plan. The US President Donald Trump announced an intricate four-tier governance structure with no representation granted to the ...
Local commentators analyze the likely scenarios for tensions between the two antagonists and their implications for the entire region. Regional media are taking seriously the statements of US President Donald Trump, who, under the pretext of protecting Iranians from assassinations and human rights violations, hinted at an imminent military...
While China, Russia, and the United States are reshaping the world, President Trump is engaging in a perilous exercise of overvaluing his legacy. He has managed to convince us that he chose to withdraw from NATO, when he can no longer remain. In reality, he finds himself in the same position as Mikhail Gorbachev when he withdrew from the Warsaw Pact: on the ...
January 20th marked exactly one year since Donald Trump resumed office as the 47th President of the United States. The initial results of Donald Trump’s tenure are assessed differently in the United States and abroad, yet there appears to be a broad consensus that the American leader has shaken both the global economy and international politics - a shock who...
On January 19, Japanese Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi announced snap elections for the Lower House of the Diet on February 8. The PM hopes to secure more seats for her coalition and consolidate a solid majority in...
It is a testament to Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s extraordinary statesmanship, political resolve, and diplomatic agility that India and the European Union (EU) have concluded what is already being called the “mother of all trade deals.” Stung by an increasingly uncertain and flip-flopping global policy environment - one in which tariffs have become...
The world is changing very quickly. The year 2026 should be marked by the return of spheres of influence and the end of colonial empires. Above all, it will see the return of international law to the rules we have known until now. Only those who are able to understand these developments and adapt to them quickly will continue to...
Donald Trump’s proposed “Board of Peace,” unveiled as a mechanism for global conflict management, is portrayed less as a genuine peacebuilding institution than as a symbolic assertion of power that reflects a deeper erosion of multilateral governance and institutional...
