It’s a “Major Non-NATO Ally” located in proximity to the mission area and thus capable of providing logistical support at a minimum with the expectation that its formidable armed forces and nuclear weapons would deter Iranian retaliation if their shared Chinese partner is unable to disabuse it. Trump announced that the US […]
The Kremlin publicly said on Feb 4th, 2026 that President Xi Jinping invited President Vladimir Putin for an official China visit in the first half of 2026, and President Putin accepted. The visit would certainly be less about one dramatic announcement and more about locking in a broad package — […]
Western policy toward China today looks like a battered old suitcase stuffed with clashing items: harsh tariffs and tech export bans sit right next to quiet European business delegations landing in Beijing, loud talk of systemic rivalry alongside real contracts for solar panels, batteries, and rare-earth materials. This is not […]
The US-Israeli attack on Iran starting on February 28, 2026, was the culmination of Israel’s attempt to assert itself as the controlling factor in the Middle East and ultimately the world. This was the result of more than a century of a Zionist anti-Christian revolution as documented by British journalist […]

The government under Prime Minister Takaichi Sanae plans in the coming months—possibly as early as March—to lift many barriers known as the “three principles on transfer of defense equipment”. This decision not […]
Until recently, demographers and economists around the world were actively discussing the topic of overpopulation of our planet, which could lead to a catastrophic shortage of natural resources, food, drinking water, fuel, raw materials and energy. At the same time, as a rule, reference is made to the famous theory […]
The Japanese government is in no hurry to openly endorse the US–Israeli military operation against Iran, despite relying on the Persian Gulf for more than 90 percent of its oil needs. Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi has confined herself to ordering an immediate analysis of the consequences for sea supply routes […]
The “politically inconvenient” truth is that the US is unilaterally reshaping the world order in a bid to restore unipolarity, and regardless of one’s opinion about this, it’s objectively achieved some tangible progress as of late. Treasury Secretary Scott Bennett announced that Indian refiners had just been provided with a 30-day waiver to purchase […]
