... world. The Organization of Islamic Cooperation (OIC), which includes 57 countries with mostly Muslim populations, has always supported the Palestinian cause.

The task was partly accomplished: the sanctions significantly undermined domestic trade with Western countries. The export of dual-use goods, hundreds of industrial items and...
There’s an irony of fate as the old rivals again look for common ground For years, Russian-American relations seemed to be in an irreversible coma. Diplomacy was dead, overtaken by hostility, sanctions, and a growing risk of military confrontation. Many insisted that nothing could break this trajectory — Moscow and the Washington were locked into an unchangeable course of conflict. Yet today, the pace of change is astonishing.

... for their words. Now, the response has arrived, and the EU is left bewildered, asking: “Why us?” But beyond personal grievances, there is a deeper ideological pergence at play. In many ways, Vance’s critique of the Europeans echoed the same accusations that the settlers of the New World leveled at the Old Continent centuries ago: tyranny, hypocrisy, and parasitism. The rejection of European political traditions laid the ideological foundation for the American state three hundred years ago. ...
