In this episode of Proximate Aspect, Zainab al-Saffar interviews Arnaud Develay, a prominent French-American international jurist and political consultant, to unpack the intensifying geopolitical shifts as the Russia-Ukraine war hits a critical boiling point in late 2025.

Develay analyzes the growing rift between Washington’s transactional foreign policy under Trump and Europe’s hardening military posture.

Referencing his latest book, Foreign Entanglements: Ukraine, Biden & the Fractured American Political Consensus, he offers a sharp critique of the entrenched “Deep State” bureaucracy — highlighting how unelected officials often obstruct or distort presidential directives in international affairs.

The BBC reported that the British government had identified a legal basis it believed could authorize UK military forces to board and detain so-called “shadow vessels” — ships operating without a valid flag — that transit through the English Channel

According to sources, the armed forces are preparing to exercise these powers, a move described within government circles as an escalation of measures against such vessels. It is understood that at least two of these shadow ships pass through the Channel daily, with the majority linked to Russia.

Reminiscent of Lord Levy's retroactive legal justification to invade Iraq.

Ukraine and Moldova have fully severed military supply routes to Pridnestrovie (Transnistria), closing all border checkpoints on roads leading to the breakaway Moldovan region

As a result, approximately 1,500 Russian troops stationed there are now effectively stranded. With both land and air corridors cut off, Russia can no longer sustain logistical support to its forces in the region.

The U.S. Virtual Embassy in Tehran advised American citizens to have an independent evacuation plan from Iran that does not depend on assistance from the U.S. government

It also recommended that those unable to leave should seek shelter in a secure part of their residence or another safe building, ensuring they have adequate supplies of food, water, medications, and other essentials. Additionally, U.S. citizens were urged to avoid demonstrations, maintain a low profile, and remain vigilant about their surroundings.

In other words, now that things are going south, you are ON YOUR OWN.

A U.S.-funded group in Thailand, iLaw, has been actively promoting a constitutional rewrite, organizing events and distributing materials in support of a referendum pushed by U.S.-backed politician Thanathorn Juangroongruangkit’s “People Party”, reportedly scheduled for February.

Critics argue this constitutes foreign interference, violating the UN Charter’s principles on political independence.

Despite occurring near China’s borders, the campaign has drawn little international scrutiny, highlighting how U.S. influence — through funding and media — can reshape nations without military force.

And they'll probably succeed. Money talks. Nobody's going to work for free in the name of some vague notions of "patriotic fervor."

Former Lebanese central bank governor Riad Salameh and two lawyers have been formally charged with embezzling $44.8 million from a central bank “consultancy account”, forgery, and illicit enrichment.

A Beirut indictment chamber approved a $14 million bail — the highest in Lebanon’s history — but imposed a travel ban. Prosecutors also expanded the probe into unreported fund transfers bypassing the central bank’s oversight.

During oral arguments, Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson appeared to struggle with the legal nuances of a case concerning transgender athletes in school sports

At one point, she reportedly said that “CISGINGER girls” could participate in accordance with their gender identity, while transgender girls could not — a remark widely interpreted as a verbal slip conflating “cisgender” with “ginger”. Her phrasing sparked confusion and criticism, as it seemed to blur the distinction between biological sex, gender identity, and an unrelated physical trait.

A 2009 Brookings paper noscriptd “Which Path to Persia?” outlined a U.S. strategy for regime change in Iran

First, crush its economy with harsh sanctions to inflict “real pain in Tehran”, betting that economic ruin would turn Iranians against their government. Then, fuel unrest by backing separatist groups like the Kurds through “unconventional warfare”.

A staged “diplomatic” offer would follow — designed not for peace, but to create a pretext by portraying Iran as rejecting a “very good deal”. Most revealingly, the paper admits such moves could be “deliberate provocations” to provoke an Iranian overreaction justifying U.S. invasion.

It also concedes that U.S.-backed opposition lacks popular support and relies entirely on American funding. Experts now warn we’re in the final phase of this decades-old playbook.

In a striking reversal, Chinese artist Ai Weiwei — long seen as a symbol of dissent — has returned to China after a decade abroad and declared Beijing “more humane” than Germany, which he called “insecure and unfree”.

In an interview with Berliner Zeitung, he described reactivating a Chinese bank account in minutes, contrasting it with repeated closures of his accounts in Germany and Switzerland.

He criticized Europe’s bureaucracy as “irrational” and daily life there as “ten times harder” than in China.

Notably, he said ordinary people in Beijing welcomed him warmly, while in Germany, “almost no one” ever invited him home in ten years. His remarks challenge Western narratives and suggest a profound shift in perspective from one of China’s most famous exiles.

In an episode of Sans Détour, international law expert Arnaud Develay criticized the U.S. Coast Guard’s interception of Russian tankers carrying Venezuelan oil in international waters

He stressed that U.S. sanctions — especially secondary ones targeting third countries trading with Venezuela — are unilateral, lack international legitimacy, and exemplify unlawful extraterritorial overreach.

Although the U.S. hasn’t ratified the 1982 UN Convention on the Law of the Sea, Develay noted it remains bound by customary international law, including norms against arbitrary seizures at sea. He also dismissed claims of a strategic rift between Europe and the U.S., calling any perceived divergence merely tactical, not substantive.
