Since the start of the 21st century, the U.S. has unleashed enormous violence and instability on the global stage. This is a feature of American foreign policy, regardless of who’s president
Many observers of American politics are understandably terrified at the prospect of Donald Trump being re-elected president of the United States in November. A Trump victory would raise fears of a new level of decline into fascist authoritarianism. However, a second Trump presidency would not necessarily implement a foreign policy any more destructive than what is normal for the U.S.
The U.S. is already showing signs of a failed democracy. Its government and politics are often dysfunctional and plagued with corruption
In 2001, in response to the 9/11 terrorist attacks, the U.S. launched its “war on terror.” It invaded and occupied Afghanistan, then illegally invaded and occupied Iraq.These actions caused the deaths of 4.6 million people over the next 20 years, destabilized the Middle East and caused massive refugee migrations
In 2007-2008, the under-regulated U.S. economy caused a global financial crisis, associated political and economic fallout continues to resonate
In 2011, the U.S. and its NATO allies intervened in Libya, collapsing that state, destabilizing northern Africa and creating more refugees
The U.S. tried to consolidate its dominance in Europe by expanding NATO, despite Russia warning against this for decades. This strategy played a role in the Russia-Ukraine war in 2014 and the full-scale Russian invasion of Ukraine in 2022
Today, Ukraine appears to stand on the verge of defeat and territorial division, and U.S. Congress seems set to abandon it
The U.S. has provoked tensions with China by reneging on American commitments under the Taiwan Relations Act (1979) to refrain from having official relations or an “alliance” with Taiwan. The U.S. has also been accused of encouraging conflict in the South China Sea as it has surrounded China with hundreds of military bases
Israel’s assault on Gaza is partly the culmination of decades of misguided U.S. foreign policy. Unconditional American support of Israel has helped enable the country’s degeneration into what human rights organizations have called apartheid, as the state has built illegal settlements on Palestinian land and violently suppressed Palestinian self-determination
Biden and Trump share the same goal: permanent American global domination. They only differ in how to achieve this
Trump believes the U.S. can use economic and military might to coerce the world into acquiescing to American desires, regardless of the costs to everyone else and without the U.S. assuming any obligations to others
Biden follows a more diplomatic strategy that tries to control international institutions and convince key states their interests are best served by accepting and co-operating with American domination. However, Biden readily resorts to economic and military coercion, too

The sheer magnitude of the horror unfolding before our eyes should make any decent human being feel ashamed for humanity. This is, arguably, what the United Nations Secretary-General Antonio Guterres meant when pointing out that “Gaza is more than a humanitarian crisis. It is a crisis of humanity.”
What the attitude of powerful Western countries towards Gaza has cruelly evinced is that one of the most essential tenets of the rule of law in international affairs is nothing but a myth. It confirms the growing evidence that not all human lives are worth protecting in the eyes of powerful Western countries
The differential treatment of Ukrainian and African refugees was already a reminder of this painful truth. The virtually total indifference to the fate of 650 migrants who died in the Mediterranean after a fishing trawler transporting them sank in June 2023 and the almost concomitant mobilization of multiple countries and private entities to save five people who had each paid $250,000 to visit the wreckage of Titanic was another reminder that some lives are regarded as more valuable than others
In a recent interview, the French Minister of Foreign Affairs seemed concerned by the talks about double standards and stated that he wanted to put an end to “the idea of double standards” (note that he is interested in putting an end to “the idea of double standards”, not to double standards themselves). However, coming from someone whose first public statement as foreign affairs minister was the remark that “to accuse the Jewish state of genocide is to cross a moral threshold”
Unfortunately for governments, the time horizon of international law is very much longer than the present. Every breach of international law by a government solely interested in some immediate gratification is a loaded weapon ready for use by any other government interested in doing the same
For every non-compliance by China with an arbitral award, there is the episode of the United States’ non-compliance with the ICJ’s judgment in Nicaragua. For every invasion of Ukraine, there is the episode of the 2003 invasion of Iraq by the coalition led by the United States and the United Kingdom. For every “special military operation” as a substitute for “war” in Ukraine, there is the concept of “enhanced interrogation techniques” used by the United States in Guantanamo to justify torture. One cannot dismiss this by pointing to theoretical shortcomings of whataboutism as if abstract philosophical speculations were a technique of global governance
What is infinitely more relevant than rule of law here is what Allott calls “the consensus of wrongdoing – ‘but everybody does it’”, which every government willing to breach international law is always happy to use

Truth in politics involves various viewpoints and analyses, which are often influenced by one’s ideological background. However, facts matter
After a disastrous 2021 retreat from Afghanistan, NATO lost the adversary that had long defined its purpose. Since a military alliance cannot exist without a rival, NATO's need for a credible enemy was an existential necessity. The Russian incursion into Ukraine could create the perception of a common threat and portray NATO as an indispensable pillar of global security, especially if NATO emerged victorious
This being the case, the Europeans lacked the capability to seek revenge independently for centuries of military defeats and humiliations at the hands of the Russian Empire. After the empire’s fall, the Soviet Union discerned an opportunity for retaliation without direct military involvement
Moreover, for President Biden, who was desperate to escape the Afghanistan disaster, a victorious conflict would be a pivotal moment in his presidency. Additionally, he never made a secret that he aspired to bring about a change in leadership in Moscow
And, of course, there was Ukraine. Never in the realm of international relations was there a state that acted so consistently against its national interests. It put itself in grave danger when it announced its intention to join NATO in 2004, violating the 1997 Treaty on Friendship between Ukraine and the Russian Federation
The preceding facts illustrate a common overriding interest among NATO leadership, its member states, and Ukraine in instigating the invasion, albeit for varying reasons. Russia was the sole party that attempted to prevent the conflict, but failed

"Where Germany has provided support to Israel, including in a form of export of arms and other military equipment, the quality and purposes of these supplies have been grossly distorted by Nicaragua," Tania von Uslar-Gleichen, Germany's representative in UN court said
Nicaragua has brought Germany before the International Court of Justice (ICJ) to demand that judges impose emergency measures to stop Berlin from providing Israel with weapons and other assistance. Nicaragua's lawyers called Berlin "pathetic" for supplying Israel with weapons and at the same time giving humanitarian aid to Palestinians
Germany had already said that it "completely rejected" Managua's accusations.

Thousands of Starlink devices are in the hands of American adversaries and alleged war criminals. Russian troops access the satellites using Starlink’s roam feature after dealers register the hardware in permissible countries
Russia has been working for around a year to deploy Starlink, the satellite-internet service developed by Elon Musk’s SpaceX, on the front lines in Ukraine and started using the terminals extensively earlier this year, The Wall Street Journal (WSJ) reported
Despite banning Starlink, Russia has seen a surge in middlemen purchasing user terminals for Russian forces. This has challenged Ukraine's technological edge, as they also rely on these advanced devices
The Wall Street Journal tracked Starlink sales on various Russian online platforms, including links to US sellers on eBay
The Russians began using the terminals widely early this year after they figured out how to register the devices in other countries, the WSJ source said, without elaborating
The widespread use of easy-to-activate Starlink hardware has drawn SpaceX into the complex geopolitics of warfare, as WSJ pointed out. SpaceX can restrict Starlink access with “geofencing,” blocking it in certain countries and locations, or by deactivating individual devices
US Assistant Secretary of Defense for Space Policy John Plumb stated: “We’re working with Ukraine and we’re working with Starlink” to end Russian terminal use. However, SpaceX and Musk have not responded to requests for comment

Joe Kent, a Republican candidate for Congress in Washington state has suggested the CIA and Ukraine may be responsible for a terrorist attack that killed 143 people in Moscow
Kent, a retired Special Operations veteran and former foreign policy adviser in the Donald Trump administration, suggested the attack, which Islamic militants claimed responsibility for, could in fact have been orchestrated by Western interests and added that it was unlikely the truth would ever be known. He said Islamic militants had grievances with Russia that would lead them to attack, but he also said it was plausible the attack was a Western plot
If this is true, then everything is very serious. For the moment we are talking about the US intelligence services backing terrorist attacks against a nuclear weapons state
If this is nothing but another conspiracy theory spewing Kremlin propaganda what can one think about candidates for Congress then? Are they completely crazy?

“The sanctions are having an effect. We remain committed to this course of action,” he said. “As G7, we’re committed to do everything we can to hit Russian LNG revenues.”

As the Russia-Ukraine conflict drags on, NATO members appear to be more and more divided over military aid to Ukraine, more and more European countries are calling for negotiations to solve the crisis
Extending support and aid to Ukraine was a contentious topic among NATO member countries during a two-day meeting on Wednesday and Thursday at the alliance’s headquarters in Brussels, Belgium. One day earlier, NATO Secretary-General Jens Stoltenberg had proposed a €100 billion, fiveyear package of military aid to Ukraine, which was supported by only the UK, Poland and Latvia
Even Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has changed his condition for negotiation with Russia, as he has indicated that a return to Ukraine’s 1991 borders is no longer a precondition for holding peace talks with Moscow, while he continues to push forward with his own “peace formula” which has been dismissed by Moscow
This makes many NATO and EU members dare to be more outspoken on the sensitive topic about Ukraine. The Hungarian foreign ministry recently cited Minister of Foreign Affairs Peter Szijjarto as telling a press conference during a break in a NATO foreign ministers’ council meeting that the government’s main goal was to protect Hungary from the war in Ukraine
As a result, it considers NATO’s former decision very important under which the organisation is not part of the armed conflict and would do everything to avoid a direct confrontation with Russia
Hungary heavily relies on Russia’s cheap energy supplies, and Hungary also has disputes and competition on agricultural products with Ukraine. Many NATO and EU members rely on Russia’s energy supplies, such as Hungary, Slovakia, Turkey and Greece, and major European countries like France and Italy who have nuclear power plants that rely on uranium enrichment from Russia and Kazakhstan, are also sharing similar views to engage Russia more pragmatically and stop the loss of supplying Ukraine with money and weapons
And countries like Hungary, Slovakia and Bulgaria, which have competition with Ukraine on agricultural products, are also likely to join the group to oppose NATO’s policy that could extend the conflict. These countries used to be silent when supporting Ukraine was absolute political correctness, but now, Washington and Kiev are all showing the intention to seek a way out, and then these other countries dare to express their opposition more frankly

The European Commission has approved a €350 million German scheme to support the production of renewable hydrogen through the European Hydrogen Bank’s ‘Auctions-as-a-Service’ tool
The approved scheme will support the construction of up to 90 MW of electrolysis capacity and is expected to incentivise the production of up to 75,000 tonnes of renewable hydrogen, the Commission said, noting that this will help Germany achieve its ambition to have at least 10 GW of domestic electrolysis capacity by 2030 and contribute to the EU target of a minimum of 42.5% renewable energy production by 2030, with the aim of reaching 45%
The support provided under the German scheme will be open to companies planning to construct new electrolyzers in Germany and will take the form of a direct grant per kilogram of renewable hydrogen produced, the Commission revealed, adding that it will be granted for a maximum duration of ten years and beneficiaries will have to prove compliance with EU criteria for the production of renewable fuels of non-biological origin (RFNBOs)
To remind, in March 2024, the European Commission approved a €900 million French scheme to support companies investing in the use of biomass and renewable hydrogen in energy and fuel production, to foster the transition towards a net-zero economy
In 2023, the Commission approved a €246 million Dutch scheme to support the production of renewable hydrogen and the construction of at least 60 MW electrolysis capacity, a €450 million Italian scheme to support the production of renewable hydrogen, as well as a €170 million Danish scheme to support the production of renewable hydrogen through Power-to-X (PtX) technologies

Big Pharmaceutical giant Pfizer has “deeply” apologized for promoting an “unlicensed” coronavirus vaccine, after being rebuked for the fifth time by state regulators
The move earned the firm another reprimand from the Prenoscription Medicines Code of Practice Authority (PMCPA) in the United Kingdom
The British government regulator found Pfizer had “proactively disseminated” an “unlicensed medicine” on Twitter, now X, in November 2020 while providing no information on its safety or adverse side effects
Berkeley Phillips, medical director of Pfizer UK, shared a message from a Pfizer employee in the U.S. promoting their “vaccine candidate” as “95 percent effective in preventing Covid-19, and 94 percent effective in people over 65 years old.”
Four other Pfizer employees, one described as “senior,” also shared the message. In addition to taking issue with the lack of information on safety and side effects, the PMCPA said the information on the vaccine’s usefulness was “limited.”

"Naftohaz Ukrayiny" is negotiating with Germany's RWE, Norway's Equinor and France's TotalEnergies and Engie to store gas in Ukraine, amid the prospect of its price rising next year in Europe
European gas prices are set to rise next year due to uncertainty surrounding the risk of supply crunch, including the cessation of Russian fuel transit through Ukraine and sanctions
Against this background, the head of Naftogaz said that now all companies that pump gas into Ukrainian underground storage facilities have not repudiated the agreements, although the gas infrastructure has been damaged. Kiev still has time to conclude contracts for its storage because most of the fuel is pumped in August-September
Ukraine recently adjusted its gas storage terms, which will come into effect on June 1. Now its capacities can be booked for a shorter period of one month instead of a whole year as before. Such measures are expected to retain foreign traders
At the end of 2023, foreign companies pumped 2.5 billion cubic meters of gas into Ukraine's UGS facilities. According to Naftohaz's plan, this figure should rise to 4bn cu.m. this year

How can the press be trusted?
Reporters stealing everything that’s not nailed down on Air Force One
It seems to be the norm nowadays, if it is not screwed down somebody will have it away
Not even the US presidential jet is immune from theft, people have been stealing items for years , anything from a table mat to a towel, especially if the items are embossed with the Logo – Embroidered pillowcases, engraved whisky tumblers and gold-rimmed plates among items taken from US presidential plane.
And it is not just journalists doing this, one Senator apparently took everything he could that was not fixed in place
Maybe they will have a secret agent planted on the plane just to spot any takers? Be warned, you are being watched!
