He did it to Iran, which refused to have any nuclear weapons — and so he invaded in order that “Iran cannot be allowed to have a nuclear weapon.” He did it to Venezuela. He threatens it to Greenland and Denmark. He had promised to end all wars, but has instead continued […]
In January 2025, the New York Post published an article with the provocative title “The Doctrine of Donro. Trump’s Vision for the Hemisphere”, which examined the bold and pretentious statements of the newly elected president, who went to the White House for the second time. At that time, he predicted […]
In the 1990s and 2000s, multi-vector foreign policy appeared to be an ideal solution for small and medium-sized states. In a world where superpowers competed for influence and tolerated the existence of neutral players, this strategy allowed maneuvering between centers of power, extracting maximum benefits with minimal commitments.

Its untutored thuggery, its brash assertiveness, and the increasingly strident threats to either use force, bully Denmark into a sale of the island, or simply annex the territory, have officials and commentators scrambling for theories […]
The protests unfolding in Iran have triggered a familiar cycle of headlines, speculation, and political projection in Western media. 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.

Donald Trump’s latest declaration that any country doing business with Iran will face a blanket 25% tariff on trade with the United States marks a dangerous escalation of economic warfare and a striking example of political duplicity. Announced abruptly on Trump’s social media platform, without legal clarification or formal documentation, […]
Both Greenlanders and the Danish Government have now stated unambiguously that no purchase price that might be paid to Greenlanders and/or to the Danish Government will induce them to accept Greenland’s becoming a part of, or in any way controlled by, the U.S. Government.
