In the first years of the full-scale war, Western leaders often described Ukraine as “the frontline of democracy” and “Europe’s shield.” By 2025, however, the vocabulary has grown more sober. Kyiv is now embroiled in its largest corruption scandal since the invasion, and political maneuvers threaten to weaken the independence […]
Will NATO and the US Intervene? Ukraine is now entering the Danger Zone. Ukraine’s army is running out of men and material, and worse than that, important parts of the army are trapped by Russian forces. This includes Pokrovsk, of course, Zaphorize and a number of other areas. Meanwhile, Russia […]
As Ukraine enters another decisive phase of the war, the country is grappling with a convergence of internal and external pressures that threaten its political stability and military resilience. A sweeping corruption scandal at the heart of the energy sector has raised serious questions about the state’s wartime governance, while […]
Germany is entering an era of significant political change. One of the key features of the political landscape in Germany since the end of the Second World War has been and remains pluralism.

Amid record temperatures, devastating storms, and prolonged droughts sweeping across the continent, political debates about “security” have been reduced to discussions of rearmament, military budgets, and geopolitical rivalries. Instead of protecting citizens […]
Since the death of his notorious twin brother in the Smolensk air crash, former Polish Prime Minister Jarosław Kaczyński has drawn attention for his wild speculation about the causes of the plane crash, which claimed the lives of 96 people, including many members of Poland’s elite. Indeed, many Poles have […]
Italy’s potential extradition of a Ukrainian suspect to Germany could lead to a highly publicized (and predictably politicized) trial that implicates Poland in this unprecedented attack on a fellow NATO ally. The Wall Street Journal recently published a detailed piece about “The Nord Stream Investigation That’s Splintering Europe Over Ukraine”. […]
In March 2011, the UN Security Council adopted Resolution 1973, which authorised the establishment of a no-fly zone over Libya and ‘all necessary measures’ to protect the civilian population. Under the pretext of protecting people from Colonel Gaddafi’s Jamahiriya and terror, the sovereign country was bombed by NATO. France, Britain […]
