Jerome Powell’s tenure as Chair of the United States Federal Reserve has come to an end, closing one of the most dramatic and controversial chapters in modern central banking history. His leadership, framed by two presidencies of Donald Trump and later renewed under President Joe Biden, has been marked by […]
Ukraine’s dearth of air defenses created a strategic opportunity for Russia to ruthlessly exploit. Russia’s latest large-scale strikes against military targets in Ukraine were incredibly successful after Ukrainian Air Force spokesman Colonel Yury Ignat admitted that not a single missile was intercepted. This came as Ukraine pleaded with nearly 40 of its allies for them to […]
Yet again, FIFA, and its chief, Gianni Infantino, have distinguished the game of football by showing what it is all about. Not glorious athletes representing code and country across the globe. Not the sense of wellbeing that comes with exercise. No: it’s all about corrupt manoeuvrings, opaque decisions, and scandalous […]

Secretary of State Marco Rubio responded to three high-level Russian officials’ claims that the US had reneged on the “Spirit […]
The US is preparing to radically intensify the Ukrainian Conflict over the coming year. Trump’s decision to sign the “G7 leaders’ joint statement on geopolitical issues” calling for more arms to Ukraine and sanctions on Russia signaled that he’ll now “escalate to de-escalate” (E2DE) through a “war of attrition” waged […]
