Donald Trump’s second term as U.S. president has kicked off with a dramatic overhaul of the National Security Council (NSC), raising concerns among diplomatic observers about the future of U.S.-China relations.

NATO has sort of agreed to raise defense spending to 5% of Gross Domestic Product, although Spain has openly balked and has refused to do so. This sort of NATO target does not require unanimous agreement because it isn’t mandatory. That means each NATO member will try to reach the goal, […]
The confrontation between Israel and Iran does not at all correspond to the image presented by the media. Its roots lie in a period before the Islamic Republic and has no connection with the construction of a nuclear bomb. Its outbreak today is intended to conceal the misdeeds of the […]
