History is strewn with the broken branches of twisted irony. An individual who found himself entangled in it was the late Colin Powell, who, as a military man, gave a doctrine his name only to forgo it as a diplomat. The Powell Doctrine was one of certitude and caution: do […]
28. Moscow meeting is a landmark event The United States regretted its inability to take part in the talks on Afghanistan in Moscow this week. The Russian side was pinning hopes on a meeting of the exclusive Troika Plus (US, China, Russia and Pakistan) followed by a gathering in an […]
Already in the 18th century, British economists of the nascent capitalism were questioning the sustainability of this system around David Ricardo. What was initially very profitable would eventually become commonplace and no longer enrich its owner. Consumption could not eternally justify mass production. Later on, socialists, around Karl Marx, predicted […]
Observers should continue paying close attention to Poland and the 3SI that it hopes to continue leading. This collection of countries has impressive potential even if it could be manipulated for regionally divisive ends. It deserves to be taken seriously and not dismissed. Are The Three Seas Rising Or Receding? […]
I read a stimulating essay recently co-authored by Paul Dolan, professor at the London School of Economics, and his research assistant Amanda Hedwood analysing, against the backdrop of the uncertainties of the Covid-19 pandemic, how dominant narratives powerfully influence decisions and create the ‘narrative trap’ in decision-making.

Nothing is more traumatic than the onset of chaos. Predictability breaks down, goodness seems to disappear, and the madness of sheer survival takes over.

Contrary to the false narratives spread by many key influencers in the Alt-Media Community (AMC) over the years, Russia is not anti-American, anti-capitalist, anti-Islamist, anti-Western, or anti-Zionist, though this doesn’t by default mean that it’s pro- any of those either. Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov reaffirmed at the beginning of […]
Part I The factors of soft power’s influence It has been already two last decades recognized worldwide that soft power is an extremely significant instrument in both politics and diplomacy in the hands of many states but especially those whom we can call as great powers as they are the […]
26. Taliban back in American swing chair The US state department admitted belatedly late last night that the first face-to-face meeting between American officials and the Taliban since the regime change in Kabul would take place in the weekend at Doha. Much planning has gone into this development. The poignancy […]
