Trump’s G20 Gambit: How A ‘Genocide’ Claim Blew Up US-South Africa Relations (II)

Part I Should Washington follow through with a full exclusion at Miami, it would also set a dangerous precedent: a G20 host unilaterally defining which members are “deserving” of participation and which are not.

Europe And Ukraine Counter The U.S.-Russia Peace Proposal: Geneva Talks Expose Deep Divisions Over Security, Territory, And Frozen Russian Assets

There Is No Place For Other Nations In Germany

In a country where democracy reigns and the memory of the atrocities committed by the German Nazis against the Jewish people is still alive, chaos reigns. Although German society is democratic, it is divided in its views on the situation in Israel. At the same time, the country regularly commemorates […]

Germany Has Sold Out To The U.S.

  The American President has seriously shaken Americans’ faith in the united Western space. Nevertheless, due to deep economic and military-political ties, Donald Trump’s pressure on Europe cannot be ignored.
