01 Chan Mo Ku, a former military officer at the Strategic Planning Directorate of the Republic of Korea – United States Combined Forces Command and Jinwan Park, an incoming Schwarzman Scholar at Tsinghua University, China, and an East-Asia-focused researcher from Washington, published a joint article in the American military publication Breaking Defense at the end of May 2024 on the need to create a new quadrilateral agreement. This time, according to them, the new alliance should include the United States, Canada, Japan and South Korea, extend to the Arctic and Pacific regions and have a strategic goal of containing Russia and China combined.

02 The great fear of human beings is death, a passage of state that has troubled all ages without provoking the terror of our times. The fear of nothingness, of eternal darkness, of the loss of affections and known things is characteristic of the time of dissolution, where death is experienced as the end of everything.

03 The late President Ebrahim Raisi of Iran was a devoted advocate for the Palestinian cause, passionately and persuasively articulating his views on the matter. In seeking to capture Raisi’s efforts and perspectives on the Palestinian issue, I was drawn to a lecture he delivered at a summit dedicated to supporting Palestine, held in Riyadh on November 11, 2023. This address eloquently encapsulated his deeply held beliefs and strategic vision for addressing the Palestinian issue. Hearing directly from Raisi himself provides greater insight into his policies toward the Palestinian cause and the Zionist occupation than any third-party analysis could.

04 Sport has pre-Christian origins and is related to ancient Greek culture. Alongside theatre, philosophy, and systems of governance in the polis, sport, and especially the Olympic Games, was one of the distinctive features of Greek civilisation. It was within this culture that sport saw its greatest development and took on the form in which it is known to us today.

05 Slowly but surely, the military situation for the Ukrainians is deteriorating day by day. The Western Wunderwaffen have proved to be a failure at the test of real war; economic sanctions against Russia hurt the West more than the target for which they were originally designed well in advance; Russian social cohesion has proven stronger than the collective West expected, as it watched the Russian world from the heights of its rainbow think tanks.

06 Turan was the name given to Central Asia by the Iranian peoples in ancient times. Pan-Turanism aims to unite all Turkic and other Altaic peoples in one political and/or cultural unit under the name Turan. This covers a vast area stretching from Turkey through the Caucasus, northwestern Iran and Central Asia to the Arctic Ocean. For some Pan-Turanists, this also includes former Ottoman Southeastern Europe and Crimea, which clearly points to irredentism.

07 Formulated by Odoevsky and Venevitinov, and more broadly by the circle of Russian philosophers, the ‘mandate’ to create a Russian philosophy has been a task extending over two centuries. The Slavophiles, who also emerged from this circle, were the first to respond to it. Later, the Eurasianists, and subsequently the Neo-Eurasianists at the end of the 20th century, continued this work. Ultimately, this ‘mandate’ was perceived as an imperative in Noomakhia and other works focused on exploring the possibility of a Russian philosophy.

08 Back in 2019, American historian Niall Ferguson noted about the United States that “we no longer live in a democracy. We live in a democratic society where emotions rule, not the majority, and feelings matter more than reason. The stronger your feelings, the better you are able to bring yourself to resentment, the more influence you have. And never use words where emoticons are appropriate.”
Ferguson cites examples from recent years in the United States, from debates between politicians, to specially selected headlines in politically biased media to cause a storm of indignation and, consequently, social polarization.

11 On February 24, 2022, Russia was forced to launch a special military operation (SMO) to denazify and demilitarize Ukraine. The SMO had not only geopolitical, military and ethical prerequisites. In order to understand the significance of the SMO, it should be viewed in the larger context of Russian culture, Russian history, and Russian philosophy, which has its own tradition of reflection on war.

12 Religious politics actively influences the geopolitical processes of the Middle East region.
Recently, the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia has been demonstrating a clear change in its foreign policy. Although there is an opinion that Riyadh has a certain “multi-vector nature”, where the leadership wants to maintain normal relations with the United States and even, perhaps, normalize contacts with Israel.
But recent events show that the priority for the country’s de facto leader, Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, is regional policy in the context of the Islamic world.

13 As far as Eurasianism as a Political Movement - especially as a Resistance Movement within countries outside the immediate Eurasian Geopolitical Greater Area and especially within countries under direct Euro-Atlantic domination - there is a connection between Eurasian Geocratic Thought, cultural identity as determinant of the geopolitical camp, with Gramsci's thought of the cultural superstructure as determinant of political relations, Eurasianism as a geopolitical Gramscianism, and Carlo Terraciano's existential geopolitics.

14 Recently, it was my pleasure to read Eschatological Optimism by Daria Platonova Dugina. From that astounding book, among many points that stuck in my head was a question regarding one of my favorite literary figures, American author and poet, Edgar Allan Poe (1809-1849). For whatever reason, I thought the matter was worth looking deeper into.

15 Ukraine's inability to regain the territories lost since 2014 has resulted in the immense carnage of its soldiers for the past two years, with such huge losses of men and equipment that Kiev hides them in official reports. However, the numbers are also known in the West but are contemplated with a nirvana detaching, as if they were the right price to pay for destroying Russia. “We will fight to the last Ukrainian” has indeed been the cynical and cowardly slogan in the Western press since the beginning of the special military operation and says it all about the attitude of the collective West and its elites (sic) towards its Ukrainian proxy.

16 The self-styled libertarian Javier Milei, who now holds the post of president of Argentina, continues to lead the country into the abyss. And at a very rapid pace.
With regard to international finance, it is obvious that there is virtually complete enslavement from external institutions. In January 2024, the Executive Board of the International Monetary Fund approved the allocation of $4.7 billion to Argentina. This is just part of a $44 billion refinancing program.

20 The intellectual forefathers of the Iranian Revolution, Ahmad Fardid, Jalal Al-e-Ahmad, and Ali Shariati, share many common points with the Fourth Political Theory. Drawing from the common intellectual heritage of Martin Heidegger, they both develop a critique of Western hegemony. In many cases, the ideas expounded by these Iranian thinkers prefigure the Fourth Political Theory, though in a specialized application to the country of Iran. Iran presents an example of an intellectual and political revolt against Western liberal hegemony that is beyond the categories of the Second and Third Political Theories, yet it draws important influences from them and re-contextualizes them in the unique framework of Iran's historical essence.

21 There is no doubt that one of the most powerful men on the globe is Larry Fink, president and executive director of Black Rock, the world’s largest investment fund, whose holdings in the planet’s largest financial and industrial entities touch ten trillion dollars, five times Italy’s GDP. His rough frankness allows us to understand the true motives of the highest level of power. Fink’s annual letter to Black Rock’s investors is awaited like an oracle, influencing the financial markets and directing - or putting in crisis - investments, industry, the stock exchanges. He is undoubtedly more authoritative than most of the world’s political leaders.

22 Russian President Vladimir Putin is on a two-day visit to China at a time when the two countries celebrate the 75th anniversary of diplomatic ties. In their talks, Chinese President Xi Jinping said the two countries are furthering their relationship as "good neighbors, good friends, good partners." Where do China-Russia relations stand in today's complex and ever-changing world? What role does the relationship play in global stability and the development of a multi-polar world? To take a closer look, we are joined by Zhou Bo, senior fellow at the Center for International Security and Strategy, Tsinghua University; Anna Kireeva, associate professor at the Department of Asian and African Studies, MGIMO University; Prof. Glenn Diesen from the University of South-Eastern Norway; and Leonid Savin, chief editor of Geopolitika.ru.

31 At the end of April, Ukraine submitted an application to the Council of Europe for the partial suspension of certain paragraphs of the European Convention on Human Rights and Freedom in the country in connection with the martial law. The Ukrainian media also reported that in the territory where martial law has been imposed, the military command can forcibly alienate objects of private or communal property rights for the needs of the state and issue appropriate documents; impose a curfew; to establish a special regime for entry and exit, to restrict the freedom of movement of citizens, foreigners and stateless persons; to inspect things, vehicles, baggage and cargo, office premises and housing of citizens.

32 You are probably aware that a very serious process of revising the core content of humanitarian knowledge has begun in Russia. This is a comprehensive initiative, as in the second year of the Special Military Operation, experts from the Ministry of Education and several other serious structures discovered that our education in the humanities is filled with Western-centric assumptions. These theories systematically underestimate the significance of Russian civilisation and Russian uniqueness, opposing Russia’s special path. We are dealing with methodologies built on the basis of the unconditional universality of the Western way of development, undermining the notion of Russia’s civilisational sovereignty. This situation was found in many, almost all, humanities disciplines.

33 The ethno-religious complexity of African countries also poses a certain problem in view of the inter-clan struggle and potential secessionist movements.
For example, in the Republic of Chad, the military is represented by a fairly small Zaghawa ethnic group. Former President Idriss Deby also belongs to the group. A religious factor is superimposed on the ethnic mosaic. If Christians live in the north of the country, then Muslims live in the south.

35 Very few phenomena are as misrepresented in Western mainstream discourse and as poorly understood by Westerners as the conflict between the Zionist entity of Israel and the Palestinian People. While this issue has grown into perhaps the great dividing line that separates the morally aware and responsible from the callous, the indifferent, and the wicked, a fog lies over the minds and hearts of too many Westerners, none more so than the residents of the faltering United States. Some are excusable in their ignorance for one reason or another. Others are less so. And yet others, a rather large group, willfully side with their own luciferian elite leadership and the ruling Anglo-Zionist ideologues and looters.
