The international community cannot simply allow events to unfold according to the “law of the jungle” The world is entering a period marked by frequent wars and conflicts. Since the Napoleonic Wars, the international security domain system has undergone several transformations—from the Vienna System to the Versailles and Yalta Systems—each attempting, in its own way, to prevent the recurrence of war. From ...
The history of international politics is practically a continuous chain of violence between states. In reality, this violence does not often pursue the goal of complete destruction or subjugation of opponents Israel is now more isolated than ever, and this is pushing the government of the Jewish state to take desperate measures to achieve relatively broad regional recognition. In such conditions, military action along virtually the entire perimeter of its external environment becomes the only solution...
No deal, but still a win: how both Russia and the US left Alaska stronger The meeting between Vladimir Putin and Donald Trump in Alaska may go down as one of Russia’s most significant diplomatic wins. It was secured through years of military sacrifice, political perseverance, and relentless effort. Yet it is also a transition – a step into a new stage of the struggle for sovereign states in a fractured world. Breaking Washington’s old doctrine The most consequential result of Anchorage was the...
... involvement in both cases. To Western planners, Russia, Iran, China and North Korea are part of a single axis. That belief shapes military planning. Compromise is no longer part of the game. What we’re seeing are not temporary crises but rolling conflicts. Eastern Europe and the Middle East are the two current flashpoints. A third has long been identified: East Asia, particularly Taiwan. Russia is directly engaged in Ukraine, holds stakes in the Middle East, and may become involved in the Pacific....
For Moscow, the real war is global, and it’s just begun The trademark style of the current US president, Donald Trump, is verbal spectacle. His statements – brash, contradictory, sometimes theatrical – should be monitored, but not overestimated. They are not inherently favorable or hostile to Russia. And we must remember: Trump is not the ‘king’ of America. The ‘Trump revolution’ that many anticipated at the beginning of the year appears to have given way to Trump’s own evolution – a drift...
Interview for the Iran Student Correspondents Association Interview for the Iran Student Correspondents Association. Israel’s history shows that it should not be trusted at all and that there is a possibility of a ceasefire violation by them. The experience of Lebanon and Gaza also shows the same. What is your opinion in this regard? Some of the recent statements made by the Israeli leadership give reasons to believe that the ultimate goal of Israel is not limited to inflicting the maximum damage...
... step-by-step: first, halting specific hostile actions, then limited ceasefires, followed eventually by a broader ceasefire and ultimately peace. This incremental approach is logical since achieving a comprehensive settlement immediately rarely happens in conflicts like this. However, there’s significant risk along the way – keeping the process intact will require immense political resolve. On the positive side, these negotiations are strictly bilateral, making them harder for third parties to sabotage,...
А meaningful step forward As expected, the hype surrounding the Putin-Trump call proved exaggerated. Attempts to portray it as decisive and historic fell flat. Still, it remains a meaningful step forward, allowing several preliminary observations. First, developments align closely with Russia’s preferred approach. Moscow resisted immediate ceasefire calls, emphasizing the necessity for carefully structured long-term agreements. This effectively deflected Washington’s urgency, especially after the...
Diplomats and analysts have reacted following the longest-ever telephone conversation between the presidents of Russia and the US The most significant takeaway from the recent call was that it truly felt like a dialogue, not two separate monologues. Importantly, it wasn’t conducted via typical, ultimatum-style demands – “accept our terms or face the consequences.” Russia refused to be baited into such rhetoric, and thankfully, the United States also avoided taking such a futile stance. An undeniable...
The Republicans who came to power in the United States, who are particularly sympathetic to the Israelis, decided to eradicate the Islamic lobby in the Ukrainian military department. The administration of American President Donald Trump has already initiated a large-scale audit in the Ukrainian military department to check the spending of previously allocated funds. This has already led to the first resignations of Ukrainian officials. Defense Minister Rustem Umerov has come under attack. Another...
