First impressions. And what’s next? 1). The negotiations were clearly not going smoothly. Trump desperately needs “at least something”, and preferably “peace at any cost”. Such a peace does not suit Russia and Putin, and this is a critical, vital impossibility. 2). Trump did not succumb to pressure from European “partners” (who are in fact […]

The Indo-Pakistani conflict, rooted in decades of territorial disputes, ideological clashes, and geopolitical rivalry, has evolved into one of the most perilous flashpoints of the 21st century. With both nations armed with nuclear weapons and a stark imbalance in conventional military power, the risk of catastrophic escalation looms large. This extended explores the conflict’s historical […]

Western media outlets continue to marvel at Trump’s turn from “thug” Putin to “hero” Zelensky. But in the camp of the most devout Trumpists, the MAGA movement, there is little enthusiasm. “MAGA base isn’t stirring up trouble — but still skeptical of Ukraine,” Axios reports in an article headlined “MAGA Keeps Quiet as Trump, Vance […]

The world is witnessing a tectonic shift in power dynamics, and the BRICS coalition — Brazil, Russia, India, China, and South Africa — stands at the epicenter of this transformation. As traditional frameworks like the G7 grapple with legitimacy crises, BRICS emerges not merely as an economic bloc but as a harbinger of noocivilization: a […]

The world is no longer on the cusp of change — it is already transforming. The 2024 BRICS Summit, hosted by Russia, crystallized a paradigm shift in global governance, underscoring the emergence of a multipolar order that challenges antiquated hierarchies. As traditional political systems falter, BRICS—a coalition of Brazil, Russia, India, China, and South Africa—embodies […]

After the death of Pope Francis on Easter Monday, the Catholic Church will begin the process of choosing the next Bishop of Rome, thereby determining the future course of the Church and its 1.3 billion followers. A conclave of the College of Cardinals will convene in the Sistine Chapel of the Vatican within 15 to […]

I’m not going to sugarcoat this. We’re in the worst national emergency of our lives. It is not coming directly from threats we should be coping with — climate change destroying our planet, another pandemic threatening millions of lives, artificial intelligence taking over our jobs and brains, nuclear proliferation threatening the future of life on […]

We are following the fate of the American idea of a 30-day truce for Ukraine. On March 11 in Jeddah, US representatives managed to wring consent from Zelensky’s envoys under pressure. On March 13, Washington’s special representative Steven Witkoff discussed the Russian position, later made public by President Vladimir Putin. This position has become a […]

This is what the US position looks like under Trump, which has now – thanks to the developer Zelensky – fully manifested itself. When the dust settled in the American White House after the touring performance of Zelensky’s troupe, when the wave of anger, gloating and “pathos of office” subsided in the world capitals, when […]

Friends, If you are experiencing rage and despair about what is happening in America and the world right now because of the Trump-Vance-Musk regime, you are hardly alone. A groundswell of opposition is growing — not as loud and boisterous as the resistance to Tump 1.0, but just as, if not more, committed to ending the […]
