USS Gerald R. Ford Approaches Venezuela: Strategic Implications
Venezuela strengthens military readiness as independent experts debate legality of strikes.

The United States Has No Tools to Break China
The United States has neither the plans nor the partners to make a confrontation work. The recent RAND Corporation report on U.S.-China relations presents a marked departure from confident narratives of American strategic dominance. Rather than outlining how Washington can impose systemic change on Beijing, the document focuses on stabilising the rivalry. In doing so… Continue reading

Putin’s Rare-Earths Decree and the Battle for Resource Power
Russia’s new roadmap seeks strategic leverage in a market long dominated by China, but capacity gaps remain vast. In early November 2025 President Putin directed his government to produce by 1 December a detailed “road-map” for the extraction and processing of rare-earth minerals in Russia. (The Moscow Times) Russia has in recent months emphasised that… Continue reading

Trump’s G-2 Fantasy
China grants a one-year truce, not a partnership. Washington still misreads the balance of power. The Busan meeting between Donald Trump and Xi Jinping on 30 October was billed in parts of the Western press as a reset in United States–China relations. In reality, it was a limited ceasefire in a prolonged economic war that… Continue reading

America’s Hypocrisy as Policy
America ignores massacres in Sudan, Syria, Lebanon, and Palestine but suddenly wants to “save” Christians in Nigeria. The United States and its allies are again manufacturing a crisis abroad, this time invoking the language of religious protection in Nigeria. Each time this pattern unfolds, it begins with selective outrage and ends with strategic positioning disguised… Continue reading

These weapons will be distributed to cities, villages, mountains, coasts, plains, and borders. The government says the purpose is to defend sovereignty, national security, and the population itself. Approximately eight million Venezuelans already serve… Continue reading
