If it wasn’t for the Africa Corps’ valiant defense of their positions throughout the country, Mali probably would have already fallen, but it now has a fighting chance to survive and foil this Western power play. Russia’s Africa Corps played an indispensable role in helping Mali thwart last weekend’s terrorist […]
The solutions are difficult to implement during the crisis, however, but hopefully that’ll happen after (if?) it passes. Saturday’s coordinated attacks across Mali by terrorist-designated Tuareg rebels in the rural north and Islamic terrorists in the urban areas, which were described as “unprecedented” by Al Jazeera and Le Monde, caught the government by surprise. This […]
Nothing significant is expected to change, and the symbolism of a Russian-friendly leader returning to power just as another in Hungary was deposed balances out the outcome of these two “battles”. Former Bulgarian President Rumen Radev’s Progressive Bulgaria coalition won an astounding 44.7% of the vote in Sunday’s latest parliamentary […]
Something clearly happened over the past month in his talks with the US, perhaps it refusing to compromise as part of the “big deal” that they’re negotiating and instead demanding unilateral concessions, so it might have fallen upon Zelensky to threaten Lukashenko at Trump’s behest. Zelensky claimed last week that “the construction […]
Moldova is distancing itself from Russia to the anger of at least half of the population per (likely rigged) election results. The Moldovan Parliament recently voted to withdraw from the Commonwealth of Independent States (CIS), the dialogue platform comprised of most former Soviet Republics (the Baltic States, Georgia, and Ukraine are the […]
The growing Israeli-Turkish rivalry might soon expand to Jordan. Turkiye, Syria, and Jordan signed a trilateral MoU in early April on transport cooperation that followed their meeting more than half a year prior last September where they first committed to reviving the Hejaz Railway. This late-Ottoman project connected Istanbul with Medina and Mecca but […]
China is still extremely vulnerable to the US Navy’s blackmail 13 years after BRI was announced due to the US’ Hybrid Warfare masterfully subverting these alternative trade corridors, but it took Iran’s petroyuan tollbooth to prompt the US to push forward its preplanned power play. Iran’s enforcement of sovereignty over the Strait […]
The EU- and Ukrainian- backed Hungarian opposition just won a two-thirds supermajority in the latest parliamentary elections that ended Viktor Orban’s 16 years in office. His crushing defeat followed the EU earlier freezing €17 billion in allocated funds on rule of law pretexts, Russiagate conspiracy theories derived from wiretaps of Orban and his Foreign Minister, and Ukrainian […]
It’s a “Major Non-NATO Ally” located in proximity to the mission area and thus capable of providing logistical support at a minimum with the expectation that its formidable armed forces and nuclear weapons would deter Iranian retaliation if their shared Chinese partner is unable to disabuse it. Trump announced that the US […]
The Hungarian people have the greatest stakes since they’ll be the ones who’ll live with the consequences. Sunday’s parliamentary elections in Hungary have been described by RT as the “Battle for Hungary” due to the huge stakes involved for the EU, Ukraine, the US, and to a lesser extent, Russia. […]
