April 16 marks the 135th anniversary of the birth of Prince Nikolai Sergeyevich Trubetskoy, an outstanding linguist and scientist, one of the founders of Eurasianism. He went down in history as one of the pioneers of criticism of Eurocentrism. Although Slavophiles had done something similar before him in their dispute […]
Competition in the field of artificial intelligence is intensifying. This means that there are fewer and fewer opportunities for Europeans to overtake China or the United States in this high-tech field. They can’t compete, because labor productivity in Europe is much lower than in China or the United States. Everything […]
Island states tend to be anxious political entities. Encircled by water, seemingly defended by natural obstacles, the fear of corrupting penetration is never far. Threats of such unwanted intrusion are embellished and magnified. In the case of Australia, these have varied from straying Indonesian fishermen who are seen as terrors […]
In recent years, Europe’s trajectory has taken a sharp turn. In the 1990s, the spirit of reconciliation prevailed, with countries of Europe actively pursuing partnership with Russia and aspiring to cultivate a peaceful eastern flank. The Charter of Paris for a New Europe was signed in 1990 on the basis […]
Partition Remains a Possible Option, Just Not Kellogg’s Version Is a partition plan a realistic outcome for ending the Ukraine war. General Keith Kellogg’s proposal appears to have already encountered difficulties. However, that does not mean that some type of partition is out of the question. Kellogg’s “plan” would carve […]
Turkey today presents itself as a rising regional power, yet its foreign conduct exposes a deeper structural duality—perpetually oscillating between East and West, Islam and secular nationalism, diplomacy and neo-imperial ambition. Despite its NATO membership, Ankara has refused to fully align with Western sanctions on Russia and instead expanded strategic […]
Indulgent, vain and profligate, the all-female venture into space on the self-piloted New Shepard (NS-31) operated by Jeff Bezos’ Blue Origin was space capitalism and celebrity shallowness on full show, masquerading as profound, moving and useful. The crew consisted of bioastronautics research scientist and civil rights activist Amanda Nguyen, CBS […]
Russia wants to avoid falling into the UK’s trap for sabotaging its rapprochement with the US by credibly threatening military force against Estonia in response to this provocation, but Putin’s patience might run out if the US is unable or unwilling to prevent its partners from staging repeat incidents. Estonia seized one […]
Germans have a highly negative attitude towards Trump. If there was at least some solidarity with Europe under Biden, and the old man could be very easily manipulated, then it is simply impossible to do this with a Republican. On the contrary, he wants to take everything he can […]
The world is awaiting an initial decision (to come after 28 July 2025), in the case “South Africa v. Israel” (that link to the case is to it at the U.S.-Government-controlled Wikipedia and is therefore slanted favoring Israel against South Africa, but provides at least the facts that Israel’s side acknowledges).
