The war for our minds is already underway. Where tanks and artillery once clashed, the decisive battles now unfold inside heads—through algorithms, narratives, and subtle shifts in how millions perceive reality. In January 2026, the NATO Defense College released a concise yet revealing paper titled “War is a mind game: […]
The attempted assassination of Lieutenant General Vladimir Alekseyev in Moscow on February 6 has shaken Russia’s military and political establishment and reignited fierce debate about the true forces working to derail any diplomatic settlement of the Ukraine conflict. Shot three times from behind in the entrance of his own apartment […]
It’s suppositionally possible that the Financial Times’ report becomes reality, but to be absolutely clear, this is pure guesswork and it’s much more likely that Russia won’t agree to that. The US signaled its support for NATO troops in Ukraine last month after Trump’s Special Envoys Steve Witkoff and Jared […]
Russia’s agreement to this format represents a significant policy shift. Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov confirmed that the second round of the trilateral Russian-Ukrainian-US talks in Abu Dhabi will be held on 1 February. There haven’t been many leaks from the first round so observers can only speculate about the subject and significance […]
NATO’s U.S.-appointed Secretary-General Mark Rutte persuaded Donald Trump to stop threatening to invade Greenland to take it over, and to say instead only that America will take it over — but without any explicit threat. This is a change of phraseology only — no change of intent (it simply removes […]
Ukraine’s leader (his Presidential term expired on 20 May 2024 and he cancelled the scheduled Presidential election, so he’s no longer legally Ukraine’s leader) Volodmyr Zelensky spoke to the Davos crowd at the World Economic Forum on January 23rd. His speech was 23:29 long, and it was immediately followed by […]
On January 20th, Canada’s Prime Minister Mark Carney publicly, in a speech at the World Economic Forum in Davos, broke Canada away from its till-now enslavement to the U.S. Government, and went way beyond saying a very firm “No!” to Trump’s demand that Canada become another U.S. state. He explained […]
He did it to Iran, which refused to have any nuclear weapons — and so he invaded in order that “Iran cannot be allowed to have a nuclear weapon.” He did it to Venezuela. He threatens it to Greenland and Denmark. He had promised to end all wars, but has instead continued […]
The Trump administration’s mania about Greenland, a self-governing territory of Denmark, is something to behold. Its untutored thuggery, its brash assertiveness, and the increasingly strident threats to either use force, bully Denmark into a sale of the island, or simply annex the territory, have officials and commentators scrambling for theories […]
When rumors first surfaced that Washington was again flirting with the idea of absorbing Greenland into the United States, many European officials treated them as another provocation in the familiar Donald Trump playbook. Then came the numbers. According to reports attributed to Reuters, U.S. policymakers were allegedly floating the idea […]
