A full-fledged economic pressure campaign by the US against the BRICS countries might be imminent. Trump reposted late November’s threat to impose 100% tariffs on BRICS countries if they go through with their alleged plans to create a new currency or support an existing one to replace the dollar, which was analyzed here at […]
Trump is preparing for negotiations with Putin over Ukraine as well as with Xi over trade and likely also Taiwan, so he’d appear weak in their eyes if he let a middling leader like Petro publicly defy and even insult him without consequence. Colombian President Gustavo Petro thought that he’d […]
It’s not going to risk breaking up NATO, let alone over a war that it’ll certainly lose, no matter how tough its Foreign Minister is trying to sound as part of a ploy to present France as the EU’s leader. Politico quoted French Foreign Minister Jean-Noel Barrot as saying that his […]
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 Russian and Iranian presidents met in Moscow last Friday […]
All in all, while it makes economic sense for them to do so, it’s not politically feasible at present. The Pakistani Energy Minister was fact-checked last month here for claiming that his country’s stalled Pakistan Stream Gas Pipeline with Russia might expand across South Asia.
