Despite its unique identity, the Land of the Rising Sun increasingly associates itself with the Anglo-Saxons and Europe. Two weeks ago, Japan has taken another important step toward deepening ties with individual members of the ‘Five Eyes’ intelligence group by inking a classified information-sharing deal with Canada. The Security of […]
Donald Trump’s conversations with Vladimir Putin lead nowhere. The American does not want the end of the war between Ukraine and Russia, but Putin’s surrender. Trump does not understand the cultural code of Russia, does not understand why this war is needed at all. However, at the same time, he […]
On July 20, 2025, Ali Larijani senior advisor to Iran’s Supreme Leader and former speaker of parliament made a discreet but highly symbolic visit to Moscow, where he met with Russian President Vladimir Putin. While no major public statement followed, the timing, nature, and geopolitical context of the meeting invite […]
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 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 […]
The Ukrainian history as a state is coming to an end. Unfortunately, not the most beautiful. The country was transformed from a prosperous state with a GDP equal to Germany in the early 1990s into the poorest and most criminalized country in the world. The level of corruption is higher […]
Militarism is catching on across the countries of advanced economies and beyond. The sly, disingenuous term of “defence” is used in this context, encouraging arms manufacturers, contractors and the entire apparatus of the military-industrial complex to fatten for the cause. The European Union huffs and struts towards higher targets of […]
On January 9, 2025, Ukraine’s Verkhovna Rada adopted a resolution recognizing the events of the Caucasian War of 1763–1864 as a “genocide of the Circassian people” allegedly perpetrated by the Russian Empire. At first glance, this decision appears to be a historical revision, but closer examination reveals it as part […]
