A conflict of interest between Ankara and Washington over Syria will likely see the two drift apart, with Turkiye aligning more closely with Eurasian powers.

The series of airstrikes against Kurdish militants in northern Syria by Turkish jets in the past week come amid heightened concerns over Ankara's threat to launch a ground operation. Such actions are not without precedent, yet have thus far achieved little in terms of eradicating the security challenges posed by US-backed Kurdish fighters.

And most importantly, is the EU brave enough to dare oppose the USA?

Kim Dotcom, a Finnish-German metaphorical Robin Hood of the online piracy based in New Zealand has published on Twitter a perfectly accurate diagnosis of the current sad state of the geopolitical affairs: First, the US government has got the EU involved in a proxy war with Russia. Then onward we go the sanctions against Russia destroy the economy of EU and then the USA passes a new law so that they are able to support the EU industry by way of (c)overt bribery and lure them one way or another to move their businesses to the USA.

Who, beyond Clown Prince Zelensky, is supplying the Argentinian with his mis-information?

Pope Francis is at it again. This time, as reported by the British state-controlled BBC outlet, Pope Francis believes that Chechens and Buryats serving in the Russian Armed Forces are half-savage Orcs.

Citing an American Jesuit magazine, the state-controlled BBC has Pope Francis, who is also a Jesuit, claiming he has "much information about the cruelty of the (Russian) troops" and that "the cruellest are perhaps those who are of Russia but are not of the Russian tradition, such as the Chechens, the Buryats and so on."

Sometimes the internet being eternal works to our advantage. Recently, there's been a dustup in European politics over a three-year old video of now Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni stepping on the third rail of European politics.

In that video she openly explained that colonialism in Europe isn't over and she tied it to African immigration into Europe, which Italy has born the brunt of thanks to the EU's rules which force countries to accept anyone that shows up on their shores.

Le 10 novembre, la Commission européenne a dévoilé le nouveau Plan d'action sur la mobilité militaire 2.0. La présentation de ce plan a été accompagnée d'une communication conjointe sur la politique de cyberdéfense de l'UE. Il est officiellement indiqué que ces documents visent à faire face à la détérioration de la situation sécuritaire après l'agression de la Russie contre l'Ukraine et à accroître la capacité de l'UE à protéger ses citoyens et ses infrastructures.

Depuis quelques mois, les États-Unis ont tenté à plusieurs reprises de forcer l'Inde à rompre ses liens avec la Russie, abandonnant ainsi ses intérêts nationaux. New Delhi continue toutefois de résister aux tentatives américaines de soumettre son économie aux diktats de Washington.

La dernière controverse concernait la tentative du G7 d'imposer un contrôle des prix du pétrole russe et les interdictions de l'UE et du Royaume-Uni frappant le transport maritime et les services liés au pétrole russe.

Où et quand la création de l'Union européenne a-t-elle réellement commencé?

La coutume voudrait que la déclaration de Robert Schuman du 9 mai 1950 scelle le début du chemin vers l'assimilation politique supranationale des États européens. Beaucoup d'autres répondraient plutôt que ce sont les signataires du traité de Paris (18 avril 1951) qui ont donné naissance à la Communauté européenne du charbon et de l'acier.

The racist thug Itamar Ben-Gvir has not yet set foot in his new office as Minister of National Security, but the effects of his rise to power have already been felt throughout Palestine. As I write these words, Palestinian human rights activist Issa Amro was arrested by the Israeli Army. He recently published a video showing an IDF soldier attacking and beating an Israeli activist in the city of Al-Khalil (also known as Hebron).

The recent decision by the United States Department of Justice to open an investigation into the killing, last May, of Palestinian-American journalist Shireen Abu Akleh is not a game-changer, but important and worthy of reflection, nonetheless.

Based on the long trajectory of US military and political support of Israel, and Washington's constant shielding of Tel Aviv from any accountability for its illegal occupation of Palestine, one can confidently conclude that there will not be any actual investigation.

Iran's parliament has just approved the accession of the Islamic Republic to the Shanghai Cooperation Organization (SCO), previously enshrined at the Samarkand summit last September, marking the culmination of a process that lasted no less than 15 years.

Iran has already applied to become a member of the expanding BRICS+, which before 2025 will be inevitably configured as the alternative Global South G20 that really matters.
