New Chinese Embassy London and Secret Spy Tunnels

Britain’s argument over China’s new embassy has become a mirror held up to its own insecurities. Commentators and newspapers now claim that Beijing plans to build spy rooms and tunnels under London to intercept...

Iran’s Su-35 Gamble: From MiG-29 Lifeline to High-Value Bet on Russian Arms

Leaked Russian export tables suggest Tehran has signed a €6 billion deal for 48 Su-35 fighters, with component deliveries set for 2024–26 and aircraft in 2026–28. Meanwhile, Moscow quietly rushed frontline MiG-29s to Iran as a stopgap. If real, the pact deepens Tehran’s strategic dependence on Russia — and complicates the balance of power across the Middle East.

The Reconstruction of Gaza: Who Pays?

Each time Gaza is reduced to rubble, the same cycle repeats: Israel destroys, donors rebuild, and the bill lands on the world’s desk. From the airport it bombed to the power plant it crippled, the price of reconstruction—now exceeding $50 billion—will again be paid by everyone except the perpetrator.

Dughmush and Hamas clash in a Frenzy of Retribution

Hours after the ceasefire, Gaza City saw fierce fighting between Hamas units and the Dughmush clan. At least twenty-seven people were reported killed, including a prominent local journalist, exposing the power struggle now shaping post-war Gaza.

The Next War: Why Israel May Strike Iran Before Winter.

Israel faces a narrowing window for war with Iran as U.S. naval forces and refuelling tankers reposition across the Middle East. With the USS Gerald R. Ford carrier group on station and regional skies soon to close with winter weather, pressure is building on Tel Aviv to decide whether to strike now or stand down until spring.

Putin’s Red Light Strategy: How Oreshnik and Tomahawk Define the New Architecture of Escalation

At Valdai, Vladimir Putin’s joke about “Oreshnik” masked a serious message. Russia and the United States are both trapped in an era where escalation depends on infrastructure, not intent. Every modern weapon now travels with its own network of satellites, planners, and launchers — and building that network is the new act of war.

The End of the Umbrella: Europe’s Lesson in Dependency

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.

Aid, Espionage, and Extraction: The Hidden Machinery That Looted Burkina Faso

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.

The Tiger That Wasn’t There: A Story of Media and the Ghosts of Empire

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.

 New Nationalism: From Dresden to Doncaster to Dallas

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.

The New Right’s Youth Rebellion: Inside the America First Generation

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

Born as a weapon in the new Cold War, America’s chip blockade has become the forge of China’s self-reliance.

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.

Yom Kippur Sermon: Peace Amid Ashes

On the holiest day of the Jewish year, a rabbinic call for peace links the Manchester synagogue attack with the suffering in Gaza — urging compassion, justice, and the pursuit of peace as Torah’s true command.

China’s Vision of a Multipolar World: A Country of Struggles and Strategies

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.
