China’s premier and Russia’s envoy flank Kim Jong-un at Pyongyang’s 80th Workers’ Party parade, signalling a new Eurasian power geometry where missiles meet diplomacy and isolation turns into leverage
A new generation of conservatives is rewriting the meaning of “America First.” Online and unafraid to challenge their elders, they question the cost of foreign entanglements — including billions in U.S. aid to Israel — and turn campus debates into a fiscal revolt. From Steve Bannon to Tucker Carlson, Candace Owens, and Nick Fuentes’s Groyper movement, the young right is united less by ideology than by arithmetic: America’s solvency before its crusades
World / Argentina / South America
At the United Nations General Assembly in September 2025, Argentina’s President Javier Milei revived his country’s claim over the Falkland Islands at a moment when Britain looks distracted abroad and divided at home.
The United States sought to cripple China’s semiconductor sector with sweeping export bans. Instead, the embargo triggered an unprecedented mobilization across China’s industry, universities, and state planners. Within three years, Beijing had rebuilt its chip ecosystem, advanced its AI capacity, and turned an intended chokehold into the architecture of technological self-reliance.

Latin America is breaking from U.S. dominance as Venezuela, Brazil and Mexico turn to China, Russia and Iran — burying the Monroe Doctrine.

Washington thought sanctions would break Caracas. Instead, they built lifelines with China and Russia and hardened Venezuela’s place in the multipolar order.
On the holiest day of the Jewish year, a rabbinic call for peace links the Manchester synagogue attack with the suffering in Gaza — urging compassion, justice, and the pursuit of peace as Torah’s true command.
Why do these tiny Pacific islands that proclaim anti-colonial self-determination so often vote with or lean towards Israel at the UN? What has seemed a mystery is, in fact, a pattern Begin not in Suva or Honiara, but in The Hague. On 26 January 2024, the International Court of Justice ordered provisional measures in South […]
World / Israel / Middle East / Palestine
Donald Trump’s new “peace plan” for Gaza is presented as a humanitarian breakthrough — a cease-fire, hostages freed, food trucks rolling. Strip away the spin, and it is something else entirely: an occupation management scheme dressed as reconciliation. The plan demands Palestinians disarm immediately and exclude Hamas from politics. Israel’s commitments, by contrast, are conditional, […]
In capitals from Addis Ababa to Brasília, diplomats speak of Chinese loans and infrastructure, of classrooms where Mandarin now competes with English. In Delhi, Jakarta, and Johannesburg, scholars debate whether China’s approach — state-led, disciplined, outward-looking — offers a workable alternative to the American order that has framed global politics since 1945.

The alleged violation was sensationalised and given wall-to-wall coverage in Western media.

The question is not whether whales, crows, or AIs “deserve” rights. It is who decides the hierarchy of intelligences — and in whose interests. The jungle of minds is coming. The real predators will be those who control the definitions.
Soviet-era MiG-19s (China: J-6) Licensed from the USSR in 1958 and mass-produced in China as the Shenyang J-6. Over 4,500 built; thousands retired and stockpiled since the 1990s. Estimates suggest up to ~3,000 retired J-6 airframes available for drone conversion. China is converting thousands of its retired Cold War–era J-6 fighter jets into pilotless drones, […]

President Donald J. Trump delivered what he described as “the biggest medical announcement in U.S. history,” linking the use of paracetamol (known in the United States under the brand name Tylenol) to autism risk and urging Americans to avoid the drug. He also recommended stretching childhood vaccinations over several years and delaying the hepatitis B […]

BUENOS AIRES — Argentina has grown accustomed to living at the edge of crisis. Inflation has been a permanent companion, the peso a fragile token of trust, and the state an omnipresent but unreliable guarantor of stability. Now, under libertarian President Javier Milei, the country has embarked on its boldest — and most divisive — […]
She remembers the knock on the door like it was yesterday. The sheriff’s deputy, the sealed envelope, the word she’d been dreading: lawsuit.

For decades, sunlight has been cast as the enemy—something to block, screen, or fear.

In a landmark synchronized announcement timed for the opening of the 80th United Nations General Assembly, the United Kingdom, Canada, and Australia formally recognized the State of Palestine as a sovereign entity on September 21, 2025, elevating the total number of UN member states extending such acknowledgment to roughly 150 out of 193. Keir Starmer […]
BEIJING — China’s leadership on September 19 delivered one of its clearest warnings yet to Washington: cooperate on equal terms, or brace for a rupture that will hurt not only the world’s two largest economies but the global system they anchor.

The MiG-31, a Soviet-era interceptor built to race nearly three times the speed of sound and patrol vast frontiers, is not a plane often mistaken for routine traffic. Designed to hunt down high-flying threats with its powerful radar, it remains central to Russia’s long-range air defense. On Friday, three of them cut across the skies […]

LONDON — Britain rolled out its oldest tricks of statecraft when President Donald J. Trump returned this summer for an “unprecedented” second state visit. The carriages, the uniforms, the banquets in Windsor Castle were not just theatre. They were a strategy — carefully designed to flatter a president known to crave ceremony while insulating him […]
An entire industry has grown up around appeasing a single master. It is called SEO, and it has only one purpose: to win Google’s favor. Every publisher, business, and campaign bends its words to meet the demands of an algorithm they cannot see and do not control. If Google elevates you, you thrive. If it […]

The most revealing story of the month did not unfold in the Taiwan Strait or the Black Sea.

With United States warships patrolling near Venezuelan waters and Caracas conducting large-scale exercises while advancing a new security pact with Moscow, the Caribbean has become the latest stage for a contest over power, sovereignty and alliances.

NEW DELHI — The four-day war began before breakfast. On a pale May morning, Indian Air Force fighters rose from bases in Punjab and Jammu; across the line, Pakistani pilots climbed to meet them.

For decades, cancer was understood as a disease of rogue cells, growing uncontrollably, feeding themselves through blood vessels and oxygen supplies. But a wave of discoveries is reshaping that picture, and with it, the future of treatment. Scientists now argue that tumors are not only fed by blood, but also by nerves. They are discovering […]
When Charlie Kirk walked onto the stage at Utah Valley University on a September evening, the scene looked familiar. The founder of Turning Point USA, one of the country’s most prominent conservative activists, was in the middle of his “American Comeback Tour.” He had made a career out of confrontation, thriving on debate with students […]
Since the assassination of conservative commentator Charlie Kirk, a wave of employer terminations, suspensions, and removals from duty has grown across the United States—often not for violence or threats, but for criticism, refusal to “mourn,” or social media posts deemed offensive. What is emerging is less a ban on criticism of Kirk per se, and […]

LONDON — On a rainy Tuesday in a East London University, English literature lecturer Helen Atkinson set her second-year undergraduates an essay on Shakespeare. Halfway through, she watched as one student opened his laptop, typed in a prompt, and seconds later produced a perfectly structured paragraph. “I realised,” she says, “I wasn’t just teaching literature […]
On Saturday London felt less like a capital city and more like a verdict. A sea of St. George’s flags, “take our country back” placards, and a battery of phones filming Tommy Robinson as if he were a head of state. Police counted crowds in the six figures; reporters on the ground described one of […]
It began, oddly enough, with a visit most Nepalis barely registered: Victoria Nuland, then U.S. Under Secretary of State, touched down in Kathmandu in 2024 after a swing through Wellington. On paper, it was a routine regional stop — democracy, civil society, and the familiar rhetoric of “partnership.” In hindsight, it reads like reconnaissance. Within […]
