The US-Ukraine meeting in Jeddah produced a Joint Statement on “important steps toward restoring durable peace for Ukraine”. This wording is rather deceptive: the document does not propose any steps toward a lasting and durable peace, but rather calls for “an immediate, interim 30-day ceasefire, which can be extended by […]
Today, it is the issue of Ukraine’s future that worries Europe even more. Every day, the situation in Eastern Ukraine is given a central place not only in newspapers and magazines in Europe, but also people’s minds are focused around this problem. Opinions on the future fate of Ukraine and […]
The key decision was when Barack Obama finally decided in December 2012 to arm al-Qaeda in Syria so as to bring down Syria’s Government. That culminated a U.S. policy since 1949, which was aimed against Russia and against Palestinians. It is an established fact that U.S. President Obama, Hillary Clinton, […]
Earlier on, the US media reported that Trump’s administration had asked the Russian side to mediate between Washington and Tehran on the issue of negotiations, primarily on the nuclear program, which was resumed during the first term of Trump’s presidency in response to the US withdrawal from the agreement […]
Trump 2.0 must become aware of the threat that the UK poses to its plans and respond accordingly to defend the US’ interests.

For a month, the accumulation of critical events around the United States, Ukraine and the European Union has been difficult to interpret because each power has been advancing in disguise. European leaders assume a stupid air by assuring that they continue to support the Ukrainian integral nationalists while Washington and […]
There are five compelling arguments for either scenario. Ukraine just agreed to a month-long ceasefire after talks with the US in Jeddah, but it’s conditional on Russia agreeing to the same, which remains uncertain. Trump’s envoy Steve Witkoff is expected to pay his second trip to Moscow in just as many months later this […]
There is discord in Ukraine. The president says one thing, and his advisers and staff of his administration say the exact opposite. Officials, politicians, and the military have completely different opinions about what might happen next for their country, but they don’t want to give up. The war has already […]
Here is a video interview of U.S. Middle East scholar Joshua Landis describing Syria today, after the U.S. Government under Barack Obama succeeded in getting Syria’s al-Qaeda to ultimately win Syria, which effort continued under Donald Trump and then culminated under Joe Biden, so that this is the U.S. Government’s victory he’s […]
