The Vested Power Brokers Are Making Putin Public Enemy No. 1
It came to me like a bolt from the sky. The reason nothing ever changes is because powerful forces want things this way. In chaos and crisis, I mean. It’s been right there in front of us, all along. But it took an interchange in 2018 between Russia’s President Vladimir Putin, and American journalist Megyn […]

The PRC and DPRK in Late 2020 and Early 2021
Two factors have the greatest impact on the development of relations between the two countries: the coronavirus pandemic, which is hitting economic ties very hard (the closure of borders has caused more damage to the North Korean economy than international sanctions), and the international situation, which continues to position the tactical alliance of the two […]

The convergence of the Indian and Pacific Oceans into a single geostrategic space — the Indo-Pacific Region (IPR) — and the growing competition between the major regional players — China and India — have encouraged the involvement of new international actors, including Britain, in IPR affairs.

A Dangerous America for a Dangerous Time
The world largely stopped trusting America under Trump, with some exceptions, certainly Israel and Saudi Arabia. Even with Trump gone, the fear of Trump returning is pushing nations like Iran into a negotiating stance on the JCPOA nuclear deal that is looking increasingly hopeless. Europe is certainly terrified of the possible return of Trump or […]

How China is Outsmarting the US in the Middle East
Competition between China and the US for domination and influence in the Middle East is intensifying in the wake of Chinese resurgence and a US return to the politics of interventions and confrontations under the Joe Biden administration.

Will Biden Tame the Arabian Racehorse?
In his strategy to bridle recalcitrant states, the newly-minted US President Joe Biden decided to start with the demonstrative taming of one of the most active of “Arabian racehorses”: the Crown Prince of Saudi Arabia, Mohammed bin Salman. It was he who recently began to display particular “agility” in radically changing the archaic, corrupt way […]

France Joins America’s South China Sea Adventurism
France has recently sent one of its nuclear attack submarines over 10,000 kilometers to the South China Sea for a “patrol.” It is the latest indicator of how strained the underlying credibility is of US foreign policy regarding the South China Sea and its growing conflict with Beijing. While Washington frames its involvement in the […]
