Every few years Belorussian President Alexander Lukashenko has what seems to be an obligatory dispute with Russia, generally over energy prices. In both the 2004 and 2007 spats, the crisis was amicably solved in short order.
But during each disagreement, Lukashenko tended to purposely exaggerate the nature of the dispute in order to enhance his own personal prestige. It’s all a bit childish, as Russia and Belarus form a Union-State, making Russia and Belarus the two closest fraternal states of both the Commonwealth of Independent States and Eurasian Union.

The 21st century has witnessed what many would call a sharp decline in the strength and stability in governments promoting Arab nationalism.

Faithful to western interests then, the Guardian remains faithful afterwards as well.

He walked up to the podium to address the UN General Assembly. All eyes in the chamber were on the strange, eccentric figure, whose invitation to New York had been the subject of great controversy and coverage. Staring out at all the delegations of world government, he acted out ripping up the UN Charter, calling […]

It is difficult to look at the situation in Aleppo and not see it in a broader context. Not only of Syria, but of Libya, the past several years, and of the entire region. And of international affairs in general. We probably shouldn’t; we should probably view different situations entirely in their own light. But I can’t […]

Hillary Clinton was assisting al-Qaeda in 2011.

But she backed regime change anyway.

As a few days ago marked the fifth anniversary of the murder of Muammar Gaddafi, I decided to mark it with a more low-key, fun-ish look back at Libya’s former national figurehead. A more serious piece on the life and character of one of the most controversial world figures of the 20th century will follow […]
