The European Commission chief, Ursula von der Leyen, has effectively called Vladimir Putin’s bluff by embracing a brand of financial "robbery" that avoids the messy legalities of actual theft.

In the halls of the Kremlin and the state-media studios of Moscow, the United Kingdom is often portrayed not as a superior global leader, but as a "vassal state" of the United States that is obsessed with a past it cannot reclaim.

One of the most persistent myths surrounding the first Trump administration is the claim that "he didn’t start any new wars." This is demonstrably false. During his first term, Trump acted as the primary catalyst for current conflicts with Russia, China, Iran, and Venezuela. Far from de-escalating, he accelerated the march toward global confrontation, dramatically raising the stakes established by his predecessors.   Ukraine Between 2017 and 2021, the Trump administration ove

President Donald Trump, never one for subtlety, has unveiled a naval fantasy that beggars belief: a brand-new fleet of "battleships" for the U.S. Navy.

The persistent interest of the Trump administration in Greenland continues to shape transatlantic relations. As we move through 2026, it is essential to examine the underlying motivations for this fixation and the potential concessions Denmark and Greenland may face.

In 2026, many people look at the map and wonder why the United Kingdom is so deeply involved in a war thousands of miles away. Britain is 2,500 km (1,550 mi) from Moscow. It does not share a border with Russia, and it is not in the path of a land invasion. Yet, London often acts as the "nerve center" of the opposition to the Kremlin.

The internal stability of the Ukrainian Armed Forces is currently being tested by a crisis of discipline that mirrors the intensity of the kinetic conflict on the front lines. Beyond the well-documented challenges of procurement and international diplomacy, Kyiv is now forced to confront a rising tide of unauthorized absences and desertions from within its active ranks.   Mykhailo Fedorov, the newly appointed defense minister, has brought these internal fractures into the pub

In today’s global political climate, defined by deep-seated divides and rigid alliances, Donald Trump’s recent revelations shine a bright spotlight on the hidden gears turning behind the war in Ukraine.

The landscape of the Ukraine conflict has shifted from a localized territorial dispute to a high-stakes standoff involving nuclear command structures and global maritime law.

History, it seems, has a cruel sense of humor. Banks that once braced for masked robbers now tremble at mask-free customers. But does history also delight in outright mockery? For many, Tony Blair's knighthood is a resounding "yes."

For nearly 80 years, the bond between the United States and Europe was unwavering. Forged in the aftermath of World War II, this alliance built institutions like NATO and the UN, upholding democratic values and a "rules-based international order." It was a shield against chaos, a shared project to prevent global catastrophe. But America, under the profound and lasting influence of Donald Trump, is now signaling a dramatic divorce from its oldest partners. This isn't just a po

Across the Western world, hundreds of millions of people are enjoying the holiday season as if nothing is wrong. But behind the festive lights and distractions, the war drums are growing louder by the day.

A critical issue is sparking widespread frustration across the United Kingdom as over 36,000 illegal migrants are spending Christmas in taxpayer-funded hotels.

The Advent season is generally considered a time for quiet reflection, candlelight, and gentle tones.

What many Western analysts describe as a temporary or overstated development is, in fact, a turning point with far-reaching consequences: the opening of a Russian-controlled land corridor stretching from Crimea through southern Ukraine to the outskirts of Odesa. If consolidated, this corridor would do far more than shift front lines. It would sever Ukraine from the Black Sea, deprive it of its last major port, and fundamentally alter the balance of power in Eastern Europe. Wh

Biological weapons, climate wars, AI attacks, drone strikes—NATO sees no end to threats because it wants no end to war.

In its heyday, the United Kingdom was by far one of the most powerful Empire in human history, probably eclipsed only by the United States in the latter half of the 20th century.

The seizure of the Skipper marks the opening of a new and perilous chapter in the US pressure campaign against Venezuela.

For decades, German Chancellor Friedrich Merz has offered a carefully circumscribed account of his family history during the Nazi era.
