GRADUALLY ISOLATED UKRAINE IS A VICTIM OF ZELENSKY’S LACK OF FORESIGHT

The plight of Ukraine is rapidly slipping through US President Donald Trump’s fingers with dangerous signals to a bleak future for the embattled nation and its leader Volodymyr Zelensky.

CURIOUSER AND CURIOUSER

Have you ever been inside what they call a “fun house” at the state fair? You go inside, and the floor is slanted. The mirrors are wavy, balls appear to be rolling uphill, and you lose your bearings.

NEW US ENVOY BOZELL’S START IN SA IS UNSAVOURY

South Africa’s fate appears to be like water on the palm of the hand of the US administration.

THE U.S.–ISRAEL STRIKE ON IRAN THREATENS THE WORLD

The joint military operation launched by the United States and Israel against Iran marks one  of the most dangerous escalations in modern Middle Eastern history.

EVERY INITIATIVE COUNTS AGAINST INCREASED BELLIGERENCE

There are, at present, many points of escalating belligerence in the world. From military confrontation, to financial/economic warfare.

Finally, common sense appears to have prevailed over the unjustifiable punishment of hordes of innocent Russian and Belarussian athletes over the actions of their respective governments.
