Democratic National Convention – a new step towards the division of the United States
On August 22, the Democratic National Convention held in Chicago almost unanimously nominated Kamala Harris as a US presidential candidate. Although she stated in her speech that she intends to be president for all Americans, Harris nevertheless emphasised that if D. Trump is elected to the White House, the country will face huge troubles – if not a catastrophe…
“Pacta servanda sunt”? Or the origins of nuclear proliferation in the Asia-Pacific Region
Over the years, the AUKUS and Quad military blocs, as any reasonable observer will have noted, have become sources of militarization in the Asia-Pacific region. However, one of the risks associated with these and other US regional alliances, and one which has so far been overlooked, is the potential, in the near future, for nuclear proliferation and the spread of dual-use technologies in this part of the world.
Afghanistan in the unyielding hands of the ‘democratic’ United States
The 2001 invasion and the following US occupation of the country, which lasted until 2021, left behind terrible, protracted consequences that can still be felt today. Seeing the example of Afghanistan, the world has clearly seen the ‘charms’ of US governance of the whole world.
Syria and Turkey have re-established relations. But everything that is happening is just an imitation that Syria refuses to take part in
This summer, with the help of Russia, Iran and Iraq, relations between Syria and Turkey were restored. This event became the subject of current diplomacy to find a detente in the Middle East. Of course, the US did not approve of such an act by Turkey. However, Ankara’s new attitude does not satisfy Syria either. What is the reason for this?
Baloch Separatism and National Turmoil: Understanding Pakistan’s Crisis
A Separatist group in Pakistan’s Balochistan province has killed 74 people in multiple attacks within 24 hours. The militants specifically targeted the civilians belonging to Punjab after stopping vehicles on the national highway in Musa Khel district.

What if the West was afraid of the truth!
While there are many phenomena that divide East/West relations since the illusion of the end of the Cold War in 1991, the West often tends to impose its own vision of the world, ignoring or marginalizing different perspectives. This means that Western countries and their media present their own point of view as the only valid one, neglecting or minimizing the opinions and experiences of other cultures and civilizations.
Spy scandal in South Korea Part 1. The case of the leak of classified data from South Korea’s military intelligence service
In South Korea the summer of 2024 has been marked by a series of spy scandals, which vividly illustrate a number of the country’s domestic and foreign policy problems. Let us start with the scandal involving a data leak from South Korea’s Defense Intelligence Command (KDIC) in late June, potentially causing very serious damage to its “illegal” agents around the world.
The Root of Today’s Abstraction - Win at All Cost!
Governments, NGOs, world leaders, and especially businesses miss the mark on detente, negotiations, and compromise for lasting peace and human growth. For many, a “multipolar world” means gaining a leveraged position rather than expanding possibilities.
New Western attack on freedom of speech and the necessary response
The arrest of the Telegram platform founder Pavel Durov by agents of the French regime has once again proven the essence of this vassal regime, as well as the fact of the complete absence of freedom in the West. But the main thing today is precisely that a firm response is needed from number of countries belonging to the world majority. And in this sense – there is no shortage of options.
US-PRC relations: How do the countries maintain business contacts amid rising political tensions?
The fifth meeting of the US-China Financial Working Group (FWG) was held in Shanghai on 15-16 August. Against the backdrop of generally rising tensions in bilateral relations, such an event is truly significant for both countries. We decided to highlight this event because it is a symbol of the existence of a reasonable approach to maintaining business relations despite their constant escalation…
The US elites just cannot accept the changes in the world
In the US media and in the writings of a number of political scientists, the decline of the role and influence of the United States in the world is increasingly recognised. However, Washington is still thinking in terms of the last century, believing that the whole world revolves only around itself, and that the ‘poor’ United States are being opposed by revisionist (i.e. refusing to live according to US ways) powers, such as China and Russia, and such ‘villains’ as Iran and DPRK even openly sabotage US policy.
How is the US Convincing the Philippines to Destroy Itself?
As China rises, Asia rises with it. The Southeast Asian state of the Philippines stood to rise alongside the rest of the region until relatively recently as the United States successfully convinces the Philippines to do otherwise.
