For eight decades Europe nestled under America’s triple canopy, military, technological, psychological. It was a seductive bargain. Washington’s shield let Europe skimp on tanks, pour billions into cradle to grave welfare, and sermonize about liberal values without the gritty cost of standing alone. The Ukraine war tore that illusion to shreds.
Burkina Faso’s recent arrests of foreign aid workers are not an outburst of paranoia but the culmination of decades of exploitation disguised as partnership. For generations, Western governments, mining conglomerates, and their affiliated NGOs extracted the country’s wealth—first its gold, now its data—under the language of development. What the world calls repression in Ouagadougou may instead be the long-delayed assertion of a people’s right to control their own resources and their own narrative.
When a leading London broadsheet claimed that North Koreans were “hunting tigers for food,” it exposed more than journalistic sloppiness. It revealed the desperation of Britain’s old media class to preserve a moral hierarchy that no longer exists. This essay traces how a false story about famine and wildlife became a metaphor for imperial nostalgia — and why the West’s fading press can no longer distinguish narrative from truth.
Populist energy has moved from the street into the state. Alice Weidel in Germany and Nigel Farage in Britain are converting discontent into parliamentary power, while Tommy Robinson’s crowds still march without machinery. The same sentiment frustration with distant rule and collapsing trust now runs from Saxony to small-town England and deep into the American South.
China’s premier and Russia’s envoy flank Kim Jong-un at Pyongyang’s 80th Workers’ Party parade, signalling a new Eurasian power geometry where missiles meet diplomacy and isolation turns into leverage
A new generation of conservatives is rewriting the meaning of “America First.” Online and unafraid to challenge their elders, they question the cost of foreign entanglements — including billions in U.S. aid to Israel — and turn campus debates into a fiscal revolt. From Steve Bannon to Tucker Carlson, Candace Owens, and Nick Fuentes’s Groyper movement, the young right is united less by ideology than by arithmetic: America’s solvency before its crusades
At the United Nations General Assembly in September 2025, Argentina’s President Javier Milei revived his country’s claim over the Falkland Islands at a moment when Britain looks distracted abroad and divided at home.
The United States sought to cripple China’s semiconductor sector with sweeping export bans.
Instead, the embargo triggered an unprecedented mobilization across China’s industry, universities, and state planners. Within three years, Beijing had rebuilt its chip ecosystem, advanced its AI capacity, and turned an intended chokehold into the architecture of technological self-reliance.

Latin America is breaking from U.S. dominance as Venezuela, Brazil and Mexico turn to China, Russia and Iran — burying the Monroe Doctrine.

In capitals from Addis Ababa to Brasília, diplomats speak of Chinese loans and infrastructure, of classrooms where Mandarin now competes with English. In Delhi, Jakarta, and Johannesburg, scholars debate whether China’s approach — state-led, disciplined, outward-looking — offers a workable alternative to the American order that has framed global politics since 1945.

The question is not whether whales, crows, or AIs “deserve” rights. It is who decides the hierarchy of intelligences — and in whose interests. The jungle of minds is coming. The real predators will be those who control the definitions.
Soviet-era MiG-19s (China: J-6) Licensed from the USSR in 1958 and mass-produced in China as the Shenyang J-6. Over 4,500 built; thousands retired and stockpiled since the 1990s. Estimates suggest up to ~3,000 retired...
