The West will look to get the most out of the Iran protests
The Western community will look to exert more pressure on Tehran to secure a better deal by influencing and aiding the street protests across Iran. The controversial NGO National Endowment for Democracy actively encourages street protests in Iran. The United States government has given SpaceX CEO Elon Musk the go-ahead to launch Starlink satellite internet provider so that Iranian protesters can use the internet.
Read moreSCO summit rings the bell for multipolar world order
The SCO’s evolving multilateral cooperation structures, which gather countries focusing on economic development independent from the nebulous, hegemonic “rules-based order,” are aligned with the BRI’s emphasis on trade and connectivity. Even the Modi government in India is reconsidering its reliance on western blocs, where New Delhi is at best a neo-colonized “partner.”
Read moreIs Kyrgyz-Tajik conflict a blow to Russian underbelly?
Despite Kyrgyzstan and Tajikistan being members of the Russian-led CSTO and hosting its forces, that Russia lacks complete control over those two countries’ military strategies and regional dynamics in general, which significantly reduces its capacity to prevent and end regional conflicts. The recent flare-up has also come up at a time when Russia is engaged in a military campaign in Ukraine and facing a hostile outbreak along the Azerbaijan-Armenia borders.
Read moreAnalyzing the Armenia-Azerbaijan conflict
Azerbaijan chose not to make public its intention to launch unilateral military action in defense of what it sees as its interests, in contrast to Russia, which made a final diplomatic push for peace prior to the start of its own special military operation in Ukraine to restore the integrity of its national security red lines that NATO had crossed. In addition, the perceived threat Armenia poses to Azerbaijan pales in comparison to the existential one NATO impliedly posed to Russia in Ukraine prior to Moscow’s military participation there. In addition, Baku plainly delayed the start of its operation until Moscow suffered a military setback in Ukraine.

However, the demonic deep dark state was opposed to cooperating with ‘autonomous’ nations. They all had to abide by the orders sent from on high by the Gates, Rockefeller, Soros, and other wealthy elite, who would soon be joined by Klaus Schwab, the main henchman of the World Economic Forum. Brazil suddenly experiences a sharp increase in new “cases,” with no questions asked and extensive testing, despite the fact that the famed PCR tests, according to the majority of reputable scientists, are useless (only sold and corrupted scientists, those paid by national authorities, would still insist on the RT-PCR tests). As the Brazilian economy collapses and Bolsonaro contracts the virus, the death toll rises rapidly.
Read moreD-8 can play a pivotal role in multipolar world
The present world economic scenario offers D-8 a broadened scope. The World Trade Organization’s (WTO) multilateral trade regime lost its momentum as a result of wealthy countries’ noncompliance and member states’ lack of cooperation. The lengthy characteristics of the WTO’s system may be due to international politics and disagreements between the USA and China, LDC versus developed members, and lastly the voluntary nature of implementation capacity.
Read moreExploring Dhaka’s options in a multipolar world
In its interactions with more powerful and adversarial nations thus far, Bangladesh has demonstrated diplomatic maturity and poise. A troubled polarization of the region between China and India has resulted from the Bay of Bengal’s recent reemergence of its strategic significance. The US involvement in the Indo-Pacific area has also increased, and Washington is working harder than ever to restrict China by establishing an axis with India in the Bay of Bengal. Bangladesh, an Indian Ocean littoral nation, has assumed a more significant role in these circumstances. In the midst of this escalating geopolitical conflict, it has had to play smart.
Read moreIs the war in Ukraine to blame for the global food crisis?
In 2021, over 193 million people in 53 countries/territories faced acute food insecurity (IPC/CH Phase 3-5; see Chart 1), according to the Global Report on Food Crises (GRFC 2022). In comparison to the already record numbers of 2020, this is an almost 40 million increase. Over half a million people (570,000) in Ethiopia, southern Madagascar, South Sudan, and Yemen were identified as being in the most critical phase of acute food insecurity (IPC/CH Phase 5; see Chart 1) and required immediate assistance to avoid widespread livelihood collapse, famine, and death. The number of people encountering crisis or worse (IPC/CH Phase 3 or higher; see Chart 1) approximately doubled between 2016 and 2021 when looking at the same 39 countries/territories represented in all editions of the report, with persistent increases each year since 2017.
Read moreKeeping geopolitical puzzle aside, Dhaka should expand commercial ties with East Europe and CIS Bloc
Bangladesh, in other terms, does not intend to sway in favor of a particular major power. It maintains its external relations with the world community by pursuing a middle of the road foreign policy that heavily relies on multinational diplomacy.
