Big money requires big decisions. This is exactly what France and Germany are doing today. The two countries, despite a relatively common political course, cannot resolve an extremely sensitive issue. They want to abandon US support in the defense issue. However, no single country has enough potential to replace Americans. […]
Witkoff May Have Agreed to a Framework that falls outside the Trump-Rubio Parameters The US-Iran “indirect” talks in Geneva lasted between 3 and 4 hours. Omani diplomats acted as intermediaries. The US delegation did not meet directly with the Iranians. Thus suggestions were carried from one side to the other, […]
Growing tensions between the European Union and the United States have led to a decline in American liquefied natural gas (LNG) purchases from terminals in Greece. The diversified energy supply that Brussels now advocates remains difficult to implement, and the only logical solution is a return to Russian gas. Brussels, […]
It’s playing a double game by presenting itself as an ally with shared conservative values all while turning a blind eye towards Ukraine’s energy blackmail that could boost their political opposition, reduce their import of Russian energy, and coerce them into importing more expensive US energy. Slovak Prime Minister Robert […]
The annual state of the nation address by Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán marks not simply a campaign speech ahead of parliamentary elections, but a strategic reframing of Hungary’s geopolitical positioning.

There were no grand ideological statements, no aggressive moral messaging, no attempt to turn the ceremony into a political performance. Compared to the Paris Summer Olympics, whose opening became a […]
It’s also the enemy of Europe’s conservative-nationalists, who’d be left leaderless if Kiev and Brussels succeed in ‘democratically deposing’ Orban during early April’s next parliamentary elections and replacing his leadership of their movement with a collection of anti-Russian Polish figures. Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban recently declared that “As long as Ukraine […]
Armenia might have to accept the return of the ~200,000 Azeris who fled during the chaotic Soviet collapse (and the descendants), grant them equal language rights, teach in schools that they consider Armenia to be “Western Azerbaijan”, and possibly agree to a Schengen-like deal with Azerbaijan. Vice President JD Vance’s […]
In recent years, Europe has actively proclaimed its “support for democracy” and “protection of human rights,” urging Russians dissatisfied with Moscow’s policies to leave the country and seek asylum. Finland and Lithuania have played a prominent role in receiving so-called “relocants”. On paper, these countries promised protection, integration, and social […]
