The decline of the West
The decline of Western civilisation has been vividly demonstrated in recent days. The debate between the two US presidential candidates on 27 June caused confusion not only in America itself, but also in many European countries, and even caused panic in the US Democratic Party – it became clear that Biden’s physical and cognitive data simply did not allow him to serve another four-year term.
Washington to Beijing’s partners: «Sacrifice yourself to help me contain the Dragon»
In a context where Washington has designated Beijing as a systemic geopolitical rival, the US administration is striving to reshape the global geopolitical landscape in its favor. To this end, it is using classic diplomatic instruments – without ceasing to resort to unilateral or coercive measures.
G7: High on rhetoric, low on delivery
When leaders of the Group of 7 (G7) recently met in Italy to discuss various challenges facing them, the outcome was more rhetoric than action. The many announcements, e.g., the 10-year-long military pact between the US and Ukraine, are little more than many other similar promises of military aid made recently – promises that have not been able to make any difference…
BSW, the sensible alternative to Alternative for Germany
The elections on 9 June show us a new political landscape, with two anti-war formations making up almost half of the electorate in Eastern Germany…
Skynet vs. European Sky Shield Initiative: Dr. Strangelove Loves MAD Polish and NATO Nuclear Policies
Considering the ticking nuclear clock, which currently sits at 90 seconds to midnight, in light of all the recent rhetoric and recriminations, you can only think a Mad Professor who is dead set on a Nuclear Holocaust to speed up the ticking time clock to doomsday is alive and well. That is exactly what appears to be happening in Poland, Europe and the collective West. And to put it lightly, this is very troublesome news … and that is just for starters!
The end of the era of western Europe
According to “Le Monde”, Europe is becoming poorer compared to the United States. In the opinion of many political analysts, the European authorities have chosen the wrong course of development by completely submitting to Washington’s policy – by joining almost 20 thousand anti-Russian sanctions, they have not only failed to restrain the growth of the Russian economy, but have even done themselves considerable damage. This is particularly evident in the case of Germany…
Germany at the eye of the European political storm
Because the European Parliament (EP) doesn’t make the laws that are applied in people’s daily lives, but merely makes recommendations that countries may or may not adopt, European elections don’t have the same significance as national ones. The EP elections serve above all as a barometer of political trends in each Member State. That’s why turnout is generally much lower than in national elections…
Turkey welcomes, but does not yet itself join…
The Arab-Israeli conflict will end someday, but the crisis itself will not be resolved unless Palestinian statehood is recognised. Turkey welcomes the beginning of the process of recognising the independence of Palestine, but has itself not yet joined in those efforts. Why?
The migration crisis in the EU area and the dissonance of state policies
At the heart of debates and state policies for decades of global governance, the migration issue tends to become more and more an instrument of proxy war, in the same way as the proliferation of Western weapons in the theater of war in Ukraine since February 24, 2022…
European far right unveils alliance with Zionism
Last weekend, a major event organized by the Spanish far-right party Vox took place in Madrid. The “Viva Europa 2024” convention aimed to bring together “the living forces of Europe in a historic event” just a few weeks before the European Parliament elections…
Western Europe in crisis
Recently, the European Union and other Western European states have been facing a growing crisis. This state of affairs was best characterised by French President E. Macron, who in several speeches at the end of April and beginning of May stated that Europe was in mortal danger. He also stressed that “everything could fall apart very quickly”. Some Russian political analysts believe that for the past two years the economies of most European Union countries have been in a virtual standstill, especially Germany, which Bloomberg has dubbed “the sick man of Europe”…
New Caledonia is another nail in the coffin of neo-colonialism
As the social and economic problems of the Western countries increase, the populations of their overseas territories and the subordinate countries of the Global South with puppet regimes are increasingly arguing in favour of the struggle for autonomy. We may be on the threshold of a revival of the anti-colonial movement of the 1960s of the twentieth century…
