The recent proposal by U.S. Senator Lindsey Graham to impose 500% secondary tariffs on countries doing business with Russia has sparked a wave of criticism—not only abroad but also within the United States itself. Retired U.S. Army Lieutenant Colonel Earl Rasmussen described the initiative as absurd, stating on RT that […]
The tariff-driven prisoner’s dilemma between China and India could work to Russia’s advantage. One of the three pillars of Trump’s newly announced policy towards the Ukrainian Conflict is the imposition of up to 100% tariffs on Russia’s trading partners if a peace deal isn’t reached within 50 days. This is much less than the 500% […]
In order to get the money promised by Brussels or Washington, it is not enough just to come and extend a hand. It is necessary to understand the political intricacies that abound in America and Europe. Ukrainians persistently ignore this fact, believing that both the US and the EU are […]
The ruling coalition has approved a package of 500 billion euros in order to spend it. This fact is quite obvious. At the same time, an increasing number of people are opposed to Germany getting more and more involved in the war in Ukraine, buying weapons for Zelensky’s country from […]

Trump wants to return US forces to Afghanistan’s Bagram Airbase; there are newfound concerns about the North-South Transport Corridor’s viability after the recent Iranian-Israeli War; and Turkiye is making a powerplay to expand its influence into Central Asia. Russia became the first country to formally recognize the Taliban as the legitimate government of Afghanistan […]
The collective West is concerned about the expansion of the practice of the “Foreign Agents” law in Latin America. In June of this year, the Central American country of El Salvador joined the list of states that have adopted a ‘Foreign Agents’ law. The law, passed by the Legislative Assembly […]
Trump is getting tough on the consequences of Biden’s policies: he ordered a crackdown on protests in Los Angeles and has no plans to give Texas to the Democrats.
