As the region’s resource-rich seabed and vital shipping routes draw global interest, Washington’s strategy is becoming clear: pressure Europe economically through Ukraine support, then capitalize on European exhaustion to advance control over Arctic resources. Europe as the Financial Buffer of U.S. Strategy Over recent years, […]
The most that Poland might gain is remaining in the US’ good graces in the hope it’ll at least retain its troops there instead of curtail them like some have reported it might do, but the trade-off is that Poland might fall further out of the EU’s good graces and […]
Nearly a fifth of the world’s oil flows through Hormuz. Its fragility exposes how unipolar security has failed and why multipolar cooperation is the only sustainable path forward.
