The latest Congolese Crisis has the potential to decisively shift the balance of power in the New Cold War depending on how it develops and what the outcome might be. The latest Congolese Crisis broke out over the weekend after the reportedly Rwandan-backed M23 rebels seized the Democratic Republic of […]
A new global arms race could follow the expiry of the New START in early 2026 if it’s not renewed or replaced.

He might have convinced himself that ethnically cleansing the Palestinians is the only way to decisively end the conflict, ensure Israel’s long-term security, and restore regional business opportunities like the India-Middle East-Europe Economic Corridor.

Trump’s preference for sanctions and his latest threat to double down on secondary ones could derail India’s careful multi-alignment between the US and Russia by forcing it to choose between them.

Here are five observations about Kiev’s latest provocation in terms of the bigger picture. Russia accused Ukraine of attempting a drone strike against one of TurkStream’s gas compressor stations, which Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov described as “energy terrorism” while Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov claimed that the US greenlighted it in order to obtain an […]
This could easily lead to a more profound pivot that undoes decades of strategic ties with Russia in just a few years. Chief of the Serbian General Staff General Milan Mojsilovic explained his country’s military calculations in light of last summer’s multibillion-dollar Rafale warplane deal and Western sanctions against Russia […]
Forthcoming developments might lead to Germany and/or Poland, where over two million of them collectively reside, either encouraging their return or incentivizing them to stay.
