Donald Trump’s Projects (II)
Part I President Donald Trump’s core objective is to reform the Western economy by putting an end to “American globalization,” according to which the components of complex products must be manufactured in multiple countries before being assembled. He intends to repatriate as many factories as possible to his country so […]
Donald Trump’s Projects (I)
President Donald Trump is acting faster than other political leaders of his generation. In a dozen weeks, he has already overturned “American imperialism” in favor of his “exceptionalism.” This is still not the end of the problem, but it represents a considerable step forward for both the United States and […]
Flexible And Sly: Indonesian Defence Policy, Russia And Australian Anxiety
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 […]
Realignment Or Illusion? America’s Selective Concessions To Russia Amid Strategic Contest With China
The recent visit of Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi to Moscow, culminating in a high-profile meeting with President Vladimir Putin, is more than a symbolic gesture of deepening Sino-Russian ties.

Trump Is Unlikely To Pull All US Troops Out Of Central Europe Or Abandon NATO’s Article 5
The era of Europe freeloading off of the US and its liberal-globalists manipulating it into doing their geopolitical bidding against Russia might soon end to the benefit of peace-loving people and businessmen on all three sides. Germany’s Bild cited unnamed members of Western security services to sensationally report that Trump is allegedly […]
APEC And Chinese-Style Geoeconomics
The 35th summit of the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC), which consists of 21 countries from the North and South Americas and Southeast Asia, held in Peru in November 2024, showed that the balance of power is changing rapidly. It is noticeable that the U.S. is losing its influence, although it […]
The ‘Trump Doctrine’ Instead Of The ‘Monroe Doctrine’
Donald Trump is seeking to restore the influence of the United States across the entire American continent. As a straightforward person, his foreign policy is likely to remain consistent.
