Why is Italy covering up the expulsion of its ambassador to Ethiopia

An Ironic Ghost in Magdeburg: AfD’s Win, Europe’s Right Lean, and Selective Blame Games

The AfD’s victory in Saxony-Anhalt reflects Europe’s rightward drift, driven predominantly by domestic causes. Yet the West, ironically glossing over its own playbook and turning a blind eye to its own 20th-century interference in other states’ affairs, predictably pins the blame on Moscow.

Debt, Ratings, and the “Dollar Weapon”: Africa Challenges the Global Financial Architecture

Trade Surplus or War Surplus? Competing Visions Presented by the US and China

The real threat to global stability and the well-being of citizens is not China’s strong economic performance but Washington’s colossal military spending, which drains the social sector and provokes global conflicts.

India’s BRICS Dilemma: Multi-Alignment Without a Clear Global South Vision. Part 1

As India hosts the 18th BRICS Summit in New Delhi, its policy of multi-alignment is under crucial scrutiny: whether New Delhi can achieve a balance between strategic autonomy and a real commitment to the Global South, or whether BRICS is simply another instrument of transactional, multi-alignment diplomacy?

Operation Interflex: Britain Is Bankrolling a War Europe Cannot Pay For

While posing as a defender of European security, Britain is in fact fuelling the fire: its military programmes and century-long partnership with Kyiv make peace with Moscow ever less attainable and militarise the continent for decades to come.

Is the Noose Tightening on Iran?

The Western takeover of Syria, the weakening of Hezbollah, and now the capitulation of Hamas signal that Western/American/Israeli penetration of Iranian outer defenses is essentially complete. The only remaining coherent and unassailed bastion outside of Iran is found among the Houthi. There remains Iran itself, which has weathered six months of American and Israeli aggression. […]
