Recent developments increasingly suggest that preparations are underway for potential agreements whose scope extends far beyond the war in Ukraine. Viewed together, these events reveal a striking sequence. And certain details, seemingly insignificant at first glance, suggest that what is at stake may be nothing less than a fundamental reconsideration of the international order established […]

A federal judge has temporarily blocked most evidence-gathering in FBI Director Kash Patel’s $250 million defamation lawsuit against The Atlantic, citing First Amendment concerns and the possibility that the case could be dismissed before extensive discovery becomes necessary. The ruling, issued on November 10 by U.S. District Judge Emmet Sullivan in Washington, D.C., prevents Patel’s […]

Over the past several days, I have undertaken an interesting survey of the global media landscape, examining coverage by leading American, British, European, Russian, and Asian news organizations. What interested me most was not simply what these outlets were reporting, but how their agendas were changing: which subjects were gaining prominence, which questions were moving […]

What makes someone a good person? Their intentions? Their actions? Their capacity to empathize with suffering? Or their desire to make the world a better place? At first glance, the answer seems obvious. Good people help others, wish no one harm, and try to follow their conscience. But open a novel by Fyodor Dostoevsky, and […]

Signs of mounting stress in the global financial system are becoming increasingly apparent. And recent events raise a familiar question: are we approaching a crisis whose consequences will be measured not merely in stock market losses, but in a massive redistribution of ownership? On October 30, the Nasdaq fell 2.86%, the semiconductor index plunged 7.2%, […]

Developments in Poland are taking an increasingly intriguing turn. On October 30, an acute constitutional crisis erupted in Warsaw. Following the suspension of Constitutional Tribunal President Bogdan Święczkowski and his deputy, substantial police forces were deployed around the court. Protests and clashes followed, with several people detained. President Karol Nawrocki cut short his flight to […]

Dostoevsky was a deeply moral man. So are many of his characters, at least in their own eyes. Yet they murder, contemplate murder, poison other people’s minds, and destroy themselves and others. Raskolnikov, Ivan Karamazov, Stavrogin, Kirillov… Dostoevsky was forever asking what makes people who possess a moral conscience commit godless acts. Ideology? Nihilism? Loss […]

Washington warns that record European financing for Airbus could undermine the longstanding US–EU agreement on aircraft subsidies. A record $3.4 billion European financing package for Airbus threatens to unravel a fragile trade truce between Washington and Brussels, potentially reigniting one of the longest-running trade disputes between the two economic powers, President Donald Trump’s top trade […]

The great sleeping giant of America has awakened, taken a hard look at what’s become of the nation, and roared a thunderous “NO!” What occurred yesterday was not — as some are saying — the inevitable mid-term swing of the pendulum against the party in power. Texas hasn’t elected a Democratic senator since 1988. The […]

Ottawa and Brussels are building a new transatlantic alliance. But the question of what to call it — and how far it should go — remains unresolved. Canada and the European Union have taken another step toward closer economic, political and defense integration. At a two-day summit in Montreal on October 29–30, Canadian Prime Minister […]
