America just got a reality check about how close it is to descending into chaos. Former President and impending Republican Nominee Donald Trump survived an assassination attempt at an outdoor rally in Pennsylvania on Saturday days before his party’s national convention after suddenly turning his head at the last second and thus miraculously dodging a bullet that only ended up grazing his ear. The shooter was killed by the Secret Service, but an

This move will fundamentally transform the European security architecture and bury President Putin’s plans to reform it. Biden and Scholz agreed last week that the US will begin the rotational deployment of intermediate-range missiles in Germany starting in 2026, which Defense Minister Pistorius

The problem with his opinion is that it isn’t cogent and comes off more as an attempt to discredit Modi for privileging his country’s strategic partnership with Russia than any honest critiques of his trip.

There are very clear lines that Russia won’t cross with Pakistan out of respect for India, and meaningfully strengthening military-technical ties is at the top of the list.

Chief of the General Staff of the Polish Armed Forces General Wieslaw Kukula

This could worsen Poland’s ties with Western Europe in parallel with cutting it off from this lucrative route upon which Chinese-EU overland trade is dependent. Polish Foreign Minister Radek Sikorski revealed late last month that his country was considering closing its border with Belarus, which its Western-backed and Lithuanian-based “opposition” leader Svetlana Tikhanovskaya

The most spectacular achievement from Modi’s trip to Russia wasn’t whatever they formally agreed to, but him and Putin informally agreeing to redouble their joint efforts to accelerate tri-multipolarity processes. Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi just completed his first trip to Russia in half a decade and put an end to the several-year-long hiatus in annual meetings between their leaders. The outcome was

India would do well by preparing another Voice of Global South Summit for later this month, which could counteract the perception that China dominates the emerging non-Western peace process and result in India playing a key role within it. The predictable failure of the Swiss talks on
