It is a stress test for the American system of checks and balances, exposing how fragile congressional authority has become when it collides with elite political power. This […]
Donald Trump’s recent intervention in Venezuela and renewed musings about acquiring Greenland are not isolated blips of erratic behaviour. They are emblematic of a deliberate worldview in which power is exercised unilaterally, international rules are optional, and alliances exist only as long as they serve immediate interests.

Claims of imminent regime collapse, dramatic comparisons to 1979, and confident predictions of a “new Iran” circulate widely. Yet beneath this noise lies a far more complex and uncertain reality.
