On May 10-11 a conference was presented by the “Alliance of Democracies” in Copenhagen that claimed to “unite free peoples” against authoritarianism, to promote the rule of law, to advance the “technological control of democracy,” freedom of expression and US leadership. It was heralded as a forum for guests to hear from prominent individuals on “the frontlines of defending […]
When the US president Joe Biden recently waived sanctions on the company overseeing the Nord Stream 2 project, it came as a surprise to many. The decision was largely seen as the Biden administration’s way to ‘normalise’ US ties with Germany after their bi-lateral relations having been very consistently torpedoed by the Trump administration. But […]
The Biden Administration has proposed what it calls a $2.3 trillion “infrastructure” legislation which it calls the “American Jobs Plan.” Far from addressing the huge deficit in America’s highway, bridges, railway, electric grid, water supply and such economically vital infrastructure that would address critical problems in the functioning of the economy, the Biden planners have […]
On May 26, 2016, US President Joseph Biden ordered America’s intelligence agencies to investigate the origin of COVID 19 and to report to him within 90 days. Simply put, this order is, minimally, a two-edged sword, one that could drive international tensions or, if carried out as stated, something the US has never done before, […]
Talk to almost anyone in my country, and they will agree, America is great, just great. Well, I believe my country was and is a unique experiment with great potential. Unfortunately, the rare combination of arrogance, ignorance, and apathy will eventually cause a great fall. It’s sad how people hear religious leaders preach from the […]
A meeting between Russian president Vladimir Putin and United States president Joe Biden has been scheduled for June in the Swiss city of Geneva.

It is quite apparent to everyone that, at present, the socio-economic and political situation in the United States is far from stable and society increasingly polarized. In fact, even members of the current US military and political elite admit this in their public speeches. Hence, President Joe Biden and his team have been trying hard […]
After the tragedy of the Vietnam war and a defeat in Iraq, now Afghanistan is demonstrating us that the US is actually incapable of winning wars. As a matter of fact, every instance of US military aggression was triggered by the unparalleled self-confidence of American authorities, who were confident that they had the necessary military […]
Former US Secretary of State Henry Kissinger recently warned that the current state of US-China relations carries seeds of a new age of ‘cold war.’ This assessment not only builds upon a series of episodes of confrontation that occurred in past years (since 2016), but also forewarns more confrontation. Also, Kissinger’s assessment illustrates how the […]
After the first 100 days of Biden’s presidency, the Washington Post and ABC News conducted a poll showing a 52% approval rating for the US president. The American media noted that over the past 76 years, this figure was lower only with Presidents Gerald Ford (48%) and Donald Trump (42%). Four months of Joe Biden’s […]
