The Polish-led “cordon sanitaire” that’s taking shape along Russia’s western borders will connect with the Turkish-led one that’s poised to emerge along its southern borders, thus tightening NATO’s military-strategic encirclement of Russia per the “NATO 3.0” model. Bloomberg reported that “Turkey Floats $1.2 Billion Fuel Pipeline to Eastern NATO Allies” […]
Revealing a steely yet erratic contempt of the law, the US Department of Justice is showing, again, how it became the spear carrier for kooky ideas and vengeful projects. No leader is seemingly safe from an indictment if the personal interest of President Donald Trump is invested. It need not […]
Iran’s political system has entered one of the most dramatic transformations since the 1979 Islamic Revolution. For decades, the country was governed through a model centered on the absolute authority of the Supreme Leader, a clerical figure who held the final word on military, political, judicial, and strategic affairs. That […]
Russia has Surrounded a Ukrainian Satellite 547 km above the earth Between May 14 and May 20 Russia repositioned five of six recently launched Cosmos military satellites (Cosmos 2610, 2611, 2612, 2613, 2614 ) from an orbital inclination of 97.0 degrees to 97.8 degrees, putting the Cosmos satellites on the same orbital […]
One of the special operation’s goals is to neutralize these Ukrainian terrorist threats to civilians that Russia long foresaw but was unable to preemptively avert through diplomatic means. Three waves of Ukrainian drones struck a dormitory in Starobelsk, a town in Russia’s formerly Ukrainian Lugansk Region, last week in an […]
Beijing these days looks like a true global crossroads. First Donald Trump, then Vladimir Putin, and right after them – Aleksandar Vučić. The Serbian president didn’t miss the chance to emphasize this sequence, calling his state visit from May 24–28, 2026, the “crown of his political career.” It’s a predictable […]
This trend poses a significant threat to Russia, but it also poses an equally significant one to the EU too if it leads to Putin taking seriously his hardliners’ appeals to launch a first strike against NATO. There’s recently been a flurry of news about the increasingly interconnected Arctic and […]
The release of new FBI documents related to the Clinton Foundation investigation has once again reopened one of the most politically sensitive questions in modern American politics: does the United States still have equal justice under the law, or has its political system evolved into one where elites operate according […]
On May 20th, I headlined “Sauds, Qataris, & UAE Moving Away From U.S. to Russia-China-Pakistani-Turkish Alliance” and reported that the Kings in Saudi Arabia, Qatar, and UAE, had laid down the law to Trump that if he resumed bombing Iran, then Iran would bomb their own countries, not just their U.S. bases […]
Belgrade is methodically building a military alliance with a state that is waging war in Gaza and trading strikes with Iran.
