It’s a “Major Non-NATO Ally” located in proximity to the mission area and thus capable of providing logistical support at a minimum with the expectation that its formidable armed forces and nuclear weapons would deter Iranian retaliation if their shared Chinese partner is unable to disabuse it. Trump announced that the US […]
The Kremlin publicly said on Feb 4th, 2026 that President Xi Jinping invited President Vladimir Putin for an official China visit in the first half of 2026, and President Putin accepted. The visit would certainly be less about one dramatic announcement and more about locking in a broad package — […]
Western policy toward China today looks like a battered old suitcase stuffed with clashing items: harsh tariffs and tech export bans sit right next to quiet European business delegations landing in Beijing, loud talk of systemic rivalry alongside real contracts for solar panels, batteries, and rare-earth materials. This is not […]
The return of aggressive tariff policy has once again become a defining feature of the economic agenda of Donald Trump. Promising to “rebalance” global trade and protect American industry, the White House has launched what looks like the opening salvo of another tariff confrontation — not just with China, but […]
Until recently, demographers and economists around the world were actively discussing the topic of overpopulation of our planet, which could lead to a catastrophic shortage of natural resources, food, drinking water, fuel, raw materials and energy. At the same time, as a rule, reference is made to the famous theory […]
The “politically inconvenient” truth is that the US is unilaterally reshaping the world order in a bid to restore unipolarity, and regardless of one’s opinion about this, it’s objectively achieved some tangible progress as of late.

How awful could it get? The New Strategic Arms Reduction Treaty (New START) expired on February 5, terminating an era of arms control and imposed limits on lunatically contrived nuclear weapons programs of the United States and Russia. The New START Treaty entered into force on February 5, 2011 and […]
The US’ retention of its nuclear superiority vis-à-vis China is non-negotiable, so it’ll either unilaterally maintain its existing edge outside of strategic arms control pacts or institutionalize it through a new such pact involving China. A global nuclear arms race is possible after Trump let the New START, the hitherto last remaining […]
