Russia’s strategic aspirations in Ukraine remain within reach, albeit at a considerable price. The road ahead promises to be protracted and laden with significant costs. To secure its objectives, Russia must persistently channel substantial resources into bolstering its military and intelligence capabilities, all the while nurturing an unwavering political resolve to see the conflict through to its culmination.

Niger’s Military Coup: Shifting Alliances and Geopolitical Implications in the Sahel
The area where central Mali, northern Burkina Faso, and western Niger meet at the border has become the center of the brutal war in the area. Frustration with how democratic governments backed by the west handled security, as well as what people in Bamako saw as the ineffectiveness of French soldiers (who were at first welcomed), led to changes in leadership in Bamako and made things worse with France, so French troops had to leave. Similar anger in Burkina Faso led to a coup d’état, which made ties with France even worse.

When it suits American interests (strategic, economic, or ideological), it changes governments. However, Western countries led by America frequently misjudge the gravity of the dangers posed by attempting regime change in many nations.
Read moreGeoeconomic Rivalries in the Middle East: Consequences for Global Stability and Security
China’s recent achievement in restoring diplomatic relations between Iran and Saudi Arabia has taken the world by surprise. This action has provided Beijing with new opportunities to expand its influence in the Middle East and advance its global initiatives. The agreement was disclosed on 10 March 2023 following four days of secret talks in Beijing. Analysts view China’s efforts to mediate this agreement as indicators of a shifting global order. The agreement is a diplomatic victory for China, which seeks to present an alternative vision to the U.S.-led international order. It is Beijing’s first foray into Middle East mediation, a field that Washington has dominated for the past four decades. This development has regional and global implications and merits in-depth examination.

If the US is behind the incident, such overtly interrupting Europe’s energy supply runs the risk of endangering its ties with its allies, such as Germany. Some analysts have suggested that it is probable that the US’s intelligence services and its European command office planned the leaks. Some others also argued that anti-Russian forces or organizations might work together with the US to start a new chorus of antagonism to Russia worldwide.
Read moreWhy the rise of the Right Wing is essential for Washington’s bulwark against East
The rise of the right-wing parties in European governments is signaling an unprecedented wave of shock from the liberals. The election results indicate that Meloni will be Italy’s first female prime minister and that it will have the most right-wing administration since World War II. Additionally, it presents the nation with a rare chance for political stability following years of upheaval and flimsy coalitions.
Read moreFailure to tackle the Ukraine war shows the UN walking the path of its doomed predecessor
The UN Security Council’s (UNSC) agenda has already been dominated by Russia’s war in Ukraine, leaving no room for other important concerns that demand global attention. While the UNSC has made some headway in Libya, Yemen, and Mali on the diplomatic and humanitarian fronts, it has failed spectacularly in Ukraine as the major countries continue to exploit it as a political game to score points against one another.

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 moreIran-Albania crisis brings Middle Eastern powerplay in the Balkans
Iran initially tried to win the support of Albanians by taking part in the Kosovo War. There were reports of Iranian combatants there, and Iranian media openly reported on Albanians thanking Iran for its support and expressing a desire for a similar theocratic state, similar to the strategies Iran used to win the support of Bosniaks during the prior Bosnian War. Mohammad Khatami, the president of Iran, had sharply criticized NATO for bombing Yugoslavia in 1999.
As a result of Albania’s allying with the US, tensions between Iran and Albania had already been deteriorating. Iran established the “Koran Foundation of Kosovo” in an effort to persuade Albanians in both Albania and Kosovo to reject secularism and favor a Shi’a theocracy, but this effort was ineffective; Albanian authorities even started to crack down on the foundation.
Iran had refused to acknowledge Kosovo’s independence in 2008 as revenge for the crackdown on Iran-supported parties in Albania and Kosovo as well as the fact that Kosovo was a pro-Western American-backed state that fiercely opposed both Russia and China. The ties went further downhill after Albania agreed to host MEK.
Read moreRussian economy thrives despite Western prediction of collapse
Even though the West’s GDP outweighs Russia’s, Russian stranglehold on gas cannot be broken by wishful thinking. The main issue is that over 100 countries, accounting for 40% of global GDP, do not impose complete or partial embargoes. Oil from the Urals is moving to Asia. You can fly to Moscow seven times a day with Emirates and other airlines, and Dubai is flush with Russian currency. Particularly because the majority of nations lack the will to impose Western policy, a globalized economy is good at reacting to shocks and opportunities.
