13 July 2023... Journalist: Minister, on the sidelines here, have you had the opportunity at all to rub shoulders with Russia's Foreign Minister, Sergey Lavrov, and put Australia’s position to him on Ukraine?

MORE THAN ONE MILLION PEOPLE LOST THEIR LIFE BECAUSE OF JOE'S MISMANAGEMENT OF THE AMERICAN NATION AND ITS FOREIGN POLICIES... NOT ONLY JOE IS RESPONSIBLE FOR THE RUSSIA/YUCKRAINE CONFLICT, HE DID EVERYTHING HE COULD TO MAKE SURE THIS "WAR" WOULD NEVER END.

THIS LED TO OVER ONE MILLION DEAD PEOPLE AND POSSIBLY TWO MILLION PERMANENTLY DAMAGED. HIS SUPPORT FOR ISRAHELL AND SUPPLY OF WEAPONIC HARDWARE LED TO A GENOCIDE BY A RABID NETANYAHU... ELSEWHERE IN THE WORLD, HIS FINGERPRINTS (THOSE OF HIS NASTY HELPERS — LLOYD AUSTIN, BLINKEN AND SULLIVAN PRINCIPALLY) ARE ALL OVER OTHER LITTLE CONFLICTS AND "ORANGE" REVOLUTIONS, AND ANTI-DEMOCRATIC EVENTS IN MANY COUNTRIES...

The era of monolithic “Atlantic solidarity” is over, and Russia has been a major catalyst for this erosion. The United States has emerged as the primary beneficiary of the Ukraine crisis. Relations between Russia and Western Europe have been disrupted, energy infrastructure has been undermined, and the EU has been compelled to overpay Washington  for military and energy supplies. However, the Americans will derive limited benefit from a deep normalization of relations: ties with Moscow will remain distant, and the tools for pressuring its European NATO allies will weaken.

The Ukraine conflict is reshaping the global order: Here’s how
The crisis has benefited the US in the short term, but risks eventially severing transatlantic ties in the long run

Donald Trump’s second term may not be all bad for all nations, including and especially China. For many Chinese internet users, Trump’s policies have unwittingly strengthened their country. This is why he has earned the popular nickname “Chuan Jianguo,” which means “Make China Great.”

Trump’s first term made at least three notable contributions to China’s rise.

Dear Donald, I know that you are a great deal-maker, but you will be seen as even greater if you do as I suggest. Australia is already providing $4 billion to the United States under the AUKUS deal without any guarantee that Virginia class nuclear submarines will ever be provided to it. I suggest that this amount be doubled or even tripled to even $12 billion.

Europe's two most important economies will lack stable governments when Donald Trump assumes office as US president. Often called the twin engines of EU growth, they are hampered by huge economic and financial problems.

France and Germany falter as Donald Trump presidency looms

Long before Donald Trump's inauguration on January 20, the US president-elect threatened Europeans with high tariffs on their products, reduced support for Ukraine, and a reassessment of NATO's funding.

Donald Trump has “liberated” the country from the influence of the globalist mogul, forcing him to retreat to Europe, the Hungarian prime minister has said

US President-elect Donald Trump’s victory was a major defeat for activist billionaire George Soros and his allies in the Democratic Party, who sought to plunge America into a “gender frenzy,”Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban has said.  

Speaking in an interview with Kossuth Radio on Friday, Orban accused the 94-year-old Hungarian-born philanthropist of maintaining a “large network” intertwined with the Democratic Party, claiming their efforts were focused on imposing globalist ideologies in a bid to further their economic interests.  

30 April 2024 — The Duchess of Edinburgh has become the first member of the Royal Family to visit Ukraine since the Russian invasion.

On Monday she went on a one-day visit, on behalf of the Foreign Office, to "demonstrate solidarity with the women, men and children impacted by the war".

If Peter Dutton ever had a so-called “two-term strategy”, that strategy disappeared on Sunday when he soft-launched his election campaign in the Victorian seat of Chisholm.

No longer was he accepting that the Albanese government would likely win a second term. There was no hint of the strategy some have identified, where the Coalition would focus on Queensland and the regions this election before recapturing city seats in the next cycle. He was going for it all in one.

Opposition Leader Peter Dutton has shifted his campaign strategy to again involve the teal electorates, although moderates in the party say he is still using ‘the Trump playbook’.

The United States has begun the forward deployment of a new generation of its B61 nuclear gravity bomb at bases in Europe, a senior administrator has announced. What signal does the deployment send to Moscow? What impact will it have on strategic security in Europe? Sputnik turned to a senior former Pentagon insider for answers.

"The new B61-12 gravity bombs are fully forward deployed, and we have increased NATO's visibility to our nuclear capabilities through visits to our enterprise and other regular engagements," US National Nuclear Security Administration chief Jill Hruby revealed in a talk at the Hudson Institute this week.

Humanity stands at a crossroads, its future bound not to conquest but to synthesis. The world before us is not one of irreconcilable opposites locked in perpetual conflict but an intricate ecosystem of human Adaptive Systems, each defined by its strengths and vulnerabilities.

Moscow and Tehran have taken their cooperation to the level of strategic partnership with a “truly epochal” pact, Farhad Ibrahimov, a Middle East expert at the Moscow-based Valdai Discussion Club, told RT on Friday.

Russian President Vladimir Putin and his Iranian counterpart, Masoud Pezeshkian, signed a major bilateral security pact in Moscow on Friday. The bilateral Treaty on Comprehensive Strategic Partnership states that Russia and Iran will boost security, naval, economic, and humanitarian cooperation for the next 20 years.

“This agreement is truly epochal,” Ibrahimov said. “Russia and Iran have reached a new level of cooperation.”

The two BRICS+ states see each other as key strategic partners which share similar world views, he added.

Predicting the future of international relations is always a risky endeavor. History shows that even the most confident forecasts can fall flat. For instance, the last Pentagon propaganda pamphlet on 'Soviet Military Power' was published in 1991 – the year the USSR ceased to exist. Similarly, the Washington-based RAND Corporation’s 1988 scenario on nuclear war included the Soviet Union engaging Pakistan over Afghanistan in 2004. Nevertheless, the urge to anticipate the future is natural, even necessary. What follows is not a prediction, but an attempt to outline reasonable expectations for the state of the world in 2025.

‘I’m tired of these blatant misrepresentations’: Judge blows up at CNN’s lead attorney during defamation case and says he owes Navy veteran ‘an apology’ for calling him a liar...

The Florida judge overseeing the high-stakes defamation case between a U.S. Navy veteran and CNN repeatedly lost his patience with lawyers for the parties on Wednesday morning.

Advisers to President-elect Donald Trump are crafting a wide-ranging sanctions strategy to facilitate a Russia-Ukraine diplomatic accord in the coming months while at the same time squeezing Iran and Venezuela, people familiar with the matter said.

The outgoing Biden administration on Friday imposed the most disruptive sanctions on Russia’s oil trade by any Western power to date. The move created an open question about how Mr Trump views the measures, given his commitment to quickly ending the war in Ukraine.
