... ceasefire or truce agreements, the question remains: what next?
The terrorist action undertaken by Hamas on October 7, 2023, unprecedented in its scale and brutality, and the equally unprecedented Israeli retaliation, which claimed lives of many thousands of Palestinians to result in a major humanitarian catastrophe, shocked the world community. However, interpretations of this new explosion of violence in the Middle East, as well as of other conflicts in a divided world, differ significantly. Israel ...
... incomparably smaller nuclear arsenal. Notwithstanding the discovery of numerous silos in the PRC described further, Moscow and Washington’s stockpiles still surpass those of Beijing roughly tenfold, even though China is
predicted
to have about a thousand nuclear warheads by 2030. Moreover, preventing bilateral arms control arrangements from crumbling—let alone strengthening the corresponding regime—seems like a daunting task in the ever so convoluted security conundrum. The situation is further ...
... still doesn’t forgo the dialogue. We are adamant: sooner or later peaceful agreements will be achieved against the efforts of the Kiev regime patrons, who continue pumping billions of dollars in order to drag out the conflict, bringing misery to thousands of people. They insist that there are no alternatives to the meaningless and one-sided “Copenhagen format” and “Zelensky formula”. Although these do not take into account the position of the Russian Federation and ignore aspirations of ...
... their own plans and intentions.
The very fact that a number of U.S. journalists cast doubt on the ability of China and India, Saudi Arabia and Iran to work together, only confirms a unique character and power of BRICS. When sneering at Argentina's “recusal”, they ignore that there were neither criticism nor threats towards Buenos Aires from other members of the Organization. Only a confirmation of the readiness to cooperate in any convenient form. And this is the key idea behind the new world order ...
Europe is finished, and Russia’s geographical and cultural advantages means it doesn’t have to go down with the sinking ship

norary chairman of Russia’s Council on Foreign and Defense Policy, and academic supervisor at the School of International Economics and Foreign Affairs Higher School of Economics (HSE) in Moscow
At the end of the 2000s, with a group of young colleagues, we began to argue the merits and necessity of Russia’s
“eastern pivot”

Last night’s event was sensational, but what was the real motivation behind the Kremlin encounter?
A few years ago, Russia was accused of interfering in American political processes. Now the opposite has happened. US domestic politics is dragging the Russian factor – represented by President Vladimir Putin – into its own electoral process.
Journalist Tucker Carlson is a strongly ideological man who represents a certain political camp. He brought to Moscow a profound spirit of internal American...
... unique example of a struggle in which the forces of the opponents are approximately comparable, although the superiority of the West is significant. We absolutely do not know how the countries of the World Majority would behave in conditions where the USA and Europe launched an offensive against a weaker adversary: for example, against Iran or another country of a comparable scale. Therefore, we cannot say to what extent the self-confidence of those countries that do not obey US orders now, would manifest ...
Interview with Tobby Simon, President of the Synergia Foundation
Today, India is becoming a prominent player on the global technological arena. How India is achieving this? How does this country protect its technological sovereignty in a fragmenting world? Are there any prospects for cooperation between Russia and India in the field of high-tech? We talked about this and many other things with Synergia Foundation President Tobby Simon.
Today we are witnessing a global trend towards technological...
... aims against Ukraine, noting that the
Kinzhal
missile is ‘a
consequential
weapon … with the same warhead on it as … any other launched missile. It doesn’t make that much difference, except it’s almost impossible to stop it’. Similarly, USAF Commander Gen. Wolfers claimed that Russia’s aim was ‘to
demonstrate the capability
and attempt to put fear in the hearts of the enemy’.
In other words, Russia appears to have used the
Kinzhal
case in an attempt to control escalation between ...
Africa is big enough to accommodate everybody—its needs are incredibly huge and its prospects are truly breathtaking
Just over a year ago, at the US-Africa leaders' summit in Washington in December 2022, President Joe Biden made a public commitment to pay a visit to the Cradle of Humankind. However, he is unlikely to keep his promise, at least not before the US presidential elections in November. Still, Africa already had a lot of the US' attention: a long chain of top-level US officials showed...
