The Collective West Cordoned Off: The Geographical Pivot of History Arrives

During the first Cold War, the geopolitical term “Domino Theory” came to be understood as a fear tool to disseminate the idea that Communism would spread like dominoes falling if left unchecked. Ironically, a domino effect is underway in the world.

The 21st-century version of the spread of ideas and ideologies is neither communism nor capitalism. Today, the dominoes are not rigid but represent a cry for multipolarism. One look at a map and Russia and China’s most recent geopolitical moves, and a 10th grader can reach the same conclusion.

Russie, Chine et complémentarité en Afrique

La question de la complémentarité entre la Fédération de Russie et la République populaire de Chine dans le cadre de l’interaction avec les alliés et partenaires sur le continent africain est plus que jamais d’actualité et commence à recevoir un soutien officiel.

En effet, cette interaction russo-sino-africaine représente un autre cauchemar pour les représentants des régimes de la minorité planétaire occidentale.

SPECIAL REPORT – ACCELERATING HATE: The Impact of October 7 on Terrorismand Political Violence in the West

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

The horrific attacks by Hamas on October 7, 2023, fundamentally shifted the security posture of the
Middle East, while also having severe humanitarian consequences and ripple effects in countries
throughout the globe, including many in the West. This TSC Special Report, generously sponsored by the
Airey Neave Trust, aims to explore how October 7 impacted several Western countries, including the
United States, the United Kingdom, France, Germany, and Italy. While the conflict remains ongoing – and
indeed will reverberate long after the fighting actually ends — this report attempts to take the pulse of
five Western countries just shy of the one-year anniversary marking the attack.

The ISIS resurgence: How Islamist fanatics are once again spreading terror around the world, killing dozens in Moscow concert hall, Taylor Swift concert massacre plot and bid to assassinate the Pope

As the Pope landed in Indonesia last week to urge a united front against religious extremism, it was the quick action of police that saved his life, uncovering a desperate plot to assassinate him with a bow and arrow, and a drone.

Numerous attempts have been foiled in the millennium since the last Pope was assassinated – but it was what police found during a raid of one of the suspect’s houses that rang alarm bells.

Don’t Drop the Ball on Kosovo

The leaders of Kosovo and Serbia have learned how to play the West. To restore credibility, the EU and the United States should draw clear red lines and respond firmly when these are crossed.

The promise of EU membership was once the silver bullet for resolving all territorial and security issues in the Balkans. That is less and less the case these days. And there is no better proof than the continuing drama involving Kosovo and Serbia.

FDD Profiles of Leading Iranian-Backed Militias

About

Iran has built a network of Shiite militias, now fighting across the Middle East, whose fighters number in the tens of thousands. These militias include battle-hardened fighters as well as poorly trained recruits. They hail from countries across the Muslim world and have varying motivations and interests, but they have one thing in common: they project the Islamic Republic’s power and promote its revolutionary ideology. Iran’s Shiite foreign legion has played an indispensable role in preserving the Assad regime in Syria, but all the groups have expressed a readiness to wage war against all enemies of the Islamic Republic.

Elaborating On Iran’s Continued Opposition To The Zangezur Corridor

This is no longer a small matter after the Iranian Foreign Ministry summoned the Russian Ambassador to share their concerns with him about his country’s support of this project.

Iran’s continued opposition to the Zangezur Corridor was touched upon here last month, where it was concluded that it’s relying on false pretexts to advance what it regards as its national interests. Since then, the Iranian Foreign Minister implied that the project would redraw regional borders, after which his institution summoned the Russian Ambassador to share their concerns given Moscow’s support of it. Here are five observations about this policy’s motivations and consequences:

The West Finally Realized Just How Game-Changing The North-South Transport Corridor Really Is

It’s surprising how much time Bloomberg’s writers invested in correcting their audience’s perceptions about the North-South Transport Corridor, which they should sincerely be commended for doing. The only constructive critiques that can be leveled against their report is that it should have been published much earlier and that it predictably ends on the politically self-interested note of implying that the US’ secondary sanctions threats could impede this project. Apart from that, it’s a rare masterpiece from the Mainstream Media.

La Russie neutralise l’offensive ukrainienne de Koursk

Le président russe Vladimir Poutine a pris l’Occident à contre-pied en réagissant à l’offensive ukrainienne de Koursk, il y a un mois, qui a été largement célébrée comme un point de basculement dans le conflit. Le conflit est effectivement à un point de basculement aujourd’hui, mais pour une toute autre raison, dans la mesure où les forces russes ont profité de la folie du déploiement par l’Ukraine de ses brigades d’élite et de blindés occidentaux prisés dans la région de Koursk pour atteindre une position indétrônable ces dernières semaines sur les champs de bataille, ce qui ouvre la porte à de multiples options pour l’avenir.
