Hypocrisy, double standards and lies - business as usual for the Media in the West
It is no secret that the “democratic” Western media widely and unashamedly use hypocritical rhetoric and apply double standards when they report various events in countries which the United States and NATO see as adversaries. A prime example of this is their policy of Iranophobia in their coverage of Iran’s domestic and foreign policy initiatives. While these Western media platforms are eager to criticize Iran’s foreign policy aspirations, they very conveniently overlook similar…
The Horn of Africa in the quagmire of geopolitical rivalry. Part Five: US-Ethiopia: The Collapse of the Double Standard Policy and Hypocrisy
Ethiopia is a country that is one of the largest economies in Africa and the second largest in terms of population (1st Nigeria). Ethiopia has recently found itself at the centre of a geopolitical confrontation between the world’s leading powers, the US and China, and regional powers in the Horn of Africa. This confrontation is linked to the struggle for control of the strategic sea route from the Indian Ocean to the Mediterranean. Over the past three decades, Ethiopia has been not only one of the closest US allies in Africa, but also the main recipient of American aid on the continent and a pillar…
Stockholm—Ankara: “Kurdish coin” for NATO membership...
Sweden, like Germany and Great Britain, has a large Kurdish community (about 100-150 thousand people). As is known, the formation of the Kurdish diaspora in this Scandinavian country began in the 1970s and further migration flows intensified in the 1980s-1990s and 2000s due to the fighting and repression in Turkey, as well as the occupation of Iraq. The Kurdish diaspora is quite politically active and well-integrated in Sweden, and is represented by six members in the local parliament…
Navalny-Assange: Cui bono? Untimely and Convenient Premature “Deaths and Dying!”
I find it hilarious that the same western media that ignored Gonzalo Lira’s death from torture and ill-care by the Ukrainians are now screaming foul about Alexei Navalny … and only too conveniently! Well, the western is having a field day over the so called Russian opposition leader, and they want to present a foregone conclusion as to whom guilty, without any evidence…
The West's duplicitous stance and hypocrisy draw condemnation in the world
Many politicians around the world strongly condemn not only Israel’s inhumane policy in the Gaza Strip, when peaceful Palestinians are being slaughtered, but also the hypocrisy, duplicity, pharisaism and arrogance of the West. In one case, the current worthless rulers of Europe condemn the defence of their citizens in Donbass by Russia, which is complying with all international rules of engagement. In the other, when Israel started to destroy civilians in the Gaza Strip (which according to international laws is considered a policy of genocide), the West welcomes and applauds, defending its protégé in the Middle East in every possible way…
The Global South vs. the West
After launching a large onslaught on Israel on October 7, the Palestinian organization Hamas killed over 1,400 people, the majority of whom were civilians, and captured over 200 more. Since then, ground forces have moved into the enclave and Israel has attacked several areas of Gaza ruthlessly. To date, almost 10,000 people have died, the majority of them were women and children. Protests demanding a stop to hostilities and showing solidarity with the Palestinians erupted globally. The Saudi Arab News daily stated that “Western and Arab states have found themselves divided.”…
The non-Western world’s revolt against the excessive cynicism of the West
The vast majority of people on the planet today publicly condemn individuals who still call themselves “defenders of human rights” and other “freedoms” for actually being the primary culprits when it comes to defending the values they so loudly proclaim to adhere to. Particularly with regards to offenses committed against non-Western populations or those perceived by the West as not belonging to the “right” side. In fact, this did not take much to be exposed. From the perspective of the Western order and those who blindly follow it, the blood of the “wrong” people is worthless…
The US Afghan Adjustment Act is still stuck in the pipeline. Or - the White House’s policy of double standards
It is an accepted fact that when a major world power gets involved in a foreign conflict, it will always find local sympathizers – we could call them helpers or even collaborators – who, whether motivated by ideology or forced to do so by circumstances – support external intervention in the fate of their country. However, there is no guarantee that the world power that embarks on a war will be successful, either militarily or politically. Throughout history…
The tragedy in Gaza has dealt a fresh blow to US dominance in the Middle East
The United States’ unwavering backing for Israel, while ignoring the Palestinians, has provoked anger throughout the Global South, particularly in the Islamic world. Several nations held anti-American protests, which included the United States Capitol. For a few hours, 500 regular Americans—many of whom were Jewish—took control of the Capitol Building and demanded that Palestine be saved. The activities of the US administration were so heinous that most of those present at the Human Rights Council in Geneva…
The Rupture Between the West and the Global South is Becoming More and More Obvious
The current crisis over Gaza has demonstrated the growing rejection by developing countries of the Western powers’ position. While the United States and some Western European states expressed their full support for Israel, without condemning Netanyahu’s actions to blockade the Gaza Strip and deprive its residents of electricity, water, food, and medicine, most countries in the Global South advocated abandoning the practice of collective punishment and preserving the lives of civilians and, finally…
A Turkish drone in Syria has become a target of the US Air Force – an accident or a signal?
This autumn turned out to be rich in conflict events in politics. There is probably a certain regularity here, as politicians have finished their summer holidays; the world is still torn by a number of conflicts and contradictions; and the likely warfare in some regions, as a rule, perceives autumn as the best period for launching offensive operations. The Russian-Ukrainian military-political crisis has caused a serious division in the international arena, while the economic war of the collective West led by the United States against the Russian Federation in the form of tough sanctions has predetermined the search…
Why the West is Whitewashing Terrorism in Vietnam and Myanmar
As US-Chinese tensions grow and as it becomes increasingly clear the US is unable to compete with China head-to-head in terms of development, trade, and investment, especially in regions along China’s periphery, the US is resorting increasingly to asymmetrical measures including political coercion, subversion, and even violence. US military aggression and political subversion, particularly in Southeast Asia, spans many decades. Besides the Vietnam War and the related conflicts which raged across Laos, Cambodia, and even Thailand in the 20th century, more recently…
