This is a note for Ukraine, Armenia, Georgia, Moldova… and a number of other countries that are looking for a state project and strategy adequate to the 21st century.

A year before the opening of the 2025 Osaka-Kansai Expo, excitement for the event is low and ticket sales have been sluggish.

Commentators, out of habit, were flippant about yet another row in the US Congress over the national debt ceiling. They have a tradition.

Starting from February 5, 2023, the European Union has banned sea imports of Russian oil products. In this regard, Moscow is forced to look for other buyers for about a million barrels a day of diesel fuel, naphtha, etc., if it still wants to receive money for them.

The US continues to try (apparently not very successful) to completely cut off, or at least hold China back in terms of access to advanced microelectronics. Especially to those integrated circuits that are used in the development of thermonuclear weapons and in their application. From time to time, it turns out that China has once […]

The beginning of the second cold war. After the start of the Russian special military operation in Ukraine, aimed at its denazification and demilitarization, the United States and its allies, as if on command, began to turn away from Russia, impose the most severe economic sanctions on this country in the entire history of the […]

Ottawa has ruled three Chinese groups to get rid of their stakes in Canadian critical mineral companies after intelligence authorities reviewed their money posed a threat to national security. The announcement mirrors a notable hardening of Canada’s stance towards China.

In the history of civilization, many countries experienced both an unprecedented economic rise and a rapid decline. There are plenty of such examples. But I will give just one vivid example of how a small country in its history was able to make an incredible economic leap. Meet Japan – an amazing mysterious country in […]
