Peace President? Yeah, Right.

On December 17, surrounded by festive holiday decorations, US president Donald Trump delivered an upbeat — one might even say manic — address to the nation, preempting — and enraging fans of — network TV shows such as Survivor, The Floor, and Christmas in Nashville.

Tucker Carlson and the Freedom of Speech

Last week, Sen. Charles Schumer, the leader of the Democrats in the United States Senate, introduced a resolution on behalf of himself and 40 other Senate Democrats that, if passed, would record the sense of the Senate as condemning the media superstar Tucker Carlson because of the political, historical and cultural opinions of a guest on Carlson’s podcast.

The Death of Ukraine’s Dream of NATO Membership

Ukraine’s dream of NATO membership is dead. It died, surprisingly, not on the battlefields of Ukraine nor at the negotiating table with Russia.

‘Kill Them All’

As we learn more about the events on Sept. 2, 2025, in international waters 1,500 miles from the United States, the behavior of the United States military becomes more legally troubling than at first blush.

End the Wars & Restart the Factories

While industrialisation remains a top priority for Global South countries, debt-driven austerity, corporate dominance, wars and sanctions keep many poorer nations locked into dependency and underdevelopment.

The Russian-US “New Détente” Could Revolutionize The Global Economic Architecture

China would no longer occupy the central role therein, which would help the US and its Asian allies better compete with it, while Russia would move from the periphery of the existing architecture towards its core due to the importance of its strategic resources in this new paradigm.

Trump’s Empire of Hubris and Thuggery

The president’s latest National Security Strategy memorandum treats the freedom to coerce others as the essence of US sovereignty. It is an ominous document that will – if allowed to stand – come back to haunt the United States.

Two Centuries of Russophobia & Rejection of Peace

While other powers are presumed to have legitimate security interests that must be balanced and accommodated, Russia’s interests are presumed illegitimate. Russophobia functions less as a sentiment than as a systemic distortion — one that repeatedly undermines Europe’s own security.

Israel’s extensive and blatant flouting of international agreements and law presage a world where the law is whatever the most militarily advanced countries say it is.
