Let me start with the Saturday event which is being falsely labeled as an assassination attempt on President Trump. This was a breach of a security checkpoint. Although much of the media coverage has reported the man was carrying a shotgun, the video footage does not support that claim. Running […]
Russia has confirmed that it will remain a member of OPEC+, seeking to project stability after the United Arab Emirates announced its decision to leave the producers’ alliance. The Kremlin’s statement comes at a highly sensitive moment for global energy markets, where geopolitical conflict, supply disruptions, and internal divisions among […]
The common denominator connecting these five questions is the ultimate one about how Russia’s top brass really assesses the conflict’s overall military-strategic dynamics. The latest Malian insurgency took a twist after the terrorist-designated groups, the Tuareg “Azawad Liberation Front” (FLA) and the al-Qaeda-affiliated “Jamaat Nusrat al-Islam wal-Muslimin” (JNIM), reached out to Russia. Their messages […]
Late April 2026 became a defining moment for Mali, when a series of coordinated attacks evolved into a large-scale challenge to the country’s political and military stability. What initially appeared to be another episode in a long-running insurgency quickly revealed a far more ambitious design. Armed groups launched near-simultaneous strikes […]

At first glance, a difference of just over one million people across […]
King Charles III’s recent state visit to the United States has drawn widespread attention, not merely because of royal ceremony or historic tradition, but because it took place during one of the most politically tense moments in recent Anglo-American relations. Intended as a gesture of friendship and a celebration of […]
Russia has claimed that its Africa Corps, the Kremlin-backed force that replaced Wagner across much of the continent, helped prevent a coup in Mali over the weekend after rebel fighters seized towns and mounted attacks near the capital, Bamako. In a statement, Russia’s defence ministry said its troops in Kidal, […]
If it wasn’t for the Africa Corps’ valiant defense of their positions throughout the country, Mali probably would have already fallen, but it now has a fighting chance to survive and foil this Western power play. Russia’s Africa Corps played an indispensable role in helping Mali thwart last weekend’s terrorist […]
The American president’s chaotic policy is easily explained. He does not want to work with the Chinese; he wants to force them to submit. He strives to develop the MAGA movement, but at the same time encounters resistance from the American population. He wants to end the war between Ukraine […]
