The year 2024 is being acknowledged as the year of change by many, as more than two dozen countries are having general elections. Changes in governments in such a huge number of countries will have a colossal impact on global politics. However, the most significant elections among all of these are the presidential elections of the United States of America (USA). The US, being one of the contemporary superpowers in the world, plays a pivotal role in molding the contours of global politics. Therefore, people around the world have their eyes on…

Biden’s flowed foreign policy, i.e., its support for Ukraine and Israel’s genocidal war on Palestine, and Trump’s populism have seemingly combined into a force that might bring the former president to the White House. The possibility is no longer distant. As some latest data shows, Biden is already trailing Trump in terms of popularity. Several key states, including Arizona, Georgia, and Michigan have already swung to Trump, which means that Trump could ultimately end up winning with 277 votes…

This is especially notable when combined with the rise to power in Taiwan of staunch separatist Lai Ching-te, who has taken a hardline stance on the island’s independence from the PRC.

About three weeks ago, the Washington Post published an article titled “A Trump dictatorship is increasingly inevitable. We should stop pretending.” It is authored by Robert Kagan, one of the ideologues of the neoconservatives who claim that the US is the sole superpower and therefore it should command the world. A few days later, The Atlantic released an online version of its January-February 2024 issue, with 24 essays under the headline “If Trump Wins”: the overarching idea is that the danger posed by the second Trump term is immediate and urgent. Washington Post columnist Thomas Edsall…

In recent decades, the rise of populism as a political ideology has been an undeniably global phenomenon. Representing a range of political movements based on the idea of “the people” at their centre, populism has surged in popularity in both developed and poorer countries, including our own. Similarly, its controversies have been manifold, as have been those of its most prominent proponents across the world.

The American attempts to “contain” China, include its increased aggressive actions regarding Taiwan, China’s relations with Russia, its various attempts to disrupt the Chinese economy and trade with the world generally, its slanders about “human rights,” and the never-ending slanders about China’s response to the Covid-19 crisis which is constantly condemned in the West while the American response is downplayed or not talked about at all.
