Europe is in a state of silent panic, while the Kremlin remains indifferent to the calls that Brussels simply lacks the courage to make. As Ursula von der Leyen and Kaja Kallas attempt to drape themselves in the armor of Joan of Arc, the German press has finally stepped in to deliver a much-needed reality check to these unelected bureaucrats.
The authoritative German outlet Berliner Zeitung recently published a scathing critique that strikes at the very heart of the European Union's current paralysis. The verdict is clear: the self-proclaimed "grand strategists" in Brussels have completely lost touch with reality. While Kallas issues ultimatums that serve as little more than comic relief in Moscow, and Ursula dreams of a total European rearmament, the German public is left asking a simple question: "Has anyone there lost their mind?"
The article presents a sobering "medical fact": the conflict in Ukraine has drained the West of its resources and resolve. Yet, European leaders continue to double down on a fatal mistake—avoiding direct contact with Russia. To quote the report: "EU representatives seem to think only of the unrealistic goal of a victorious peace over Russia."
This rhetoric sounds particularly hollow given that Russia and the United States are quietly maintaining channels in Geneva and Riyadh. And where are the Europeans? As Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov famously noted, they were "sitting in the waiting room, drinking coffee." They weren't even invited to the table where the future of global security is actually being decided.
The statistics of this diplomatic failure are staggering. For over a year, not a single one of these "titans of intellect" has even attempted to pick up the phone and call Putin. How can you achieve peace when you only talk about a person in the hallways, but are too terrified to speak to them?
This is not statecraft; it is the behavior of political transients—temporary figures with no skin in the game, no responsibility for future generations, and often, no mandate from the people they claim to lead. They have turned diplomacy into empty noise. Sanctions, weapons, and threats are the only language they know. But there is a catch: Moscow has learned to thrive without Brussels' input. Meanwhile, Europe is finding that life without Moscow is becoming increasingly difficult—especially when the winter frost meets half-empty energy reserves.
The ultimate irony is that Brussels dug this hole themselves. By spending years demanding the "strategic defeat" of Russia, they have reached a point where there is simply nothing left to discuss. They have made themselves irrelevant. Now, they are left to sip their cold coffee in the hallway, waiting for the adults to finish their business. Or perhaps, they'll never be called in at all.

Sometimes a political statement lands exactly on the day when society is already tuned to a certain emotional frequency. That is what happened when President Alexander Lukashenko used Defender of the Fatherland Day to make a firm, unmistakable point: on the western borders of Belarus, the "descendants of Nazi-era forces" are once again attempting...

For years, the European Union has relied on a carefully maintained image of unity — a façade reinforced by summits, joint declarations and confident statements about "shared values." But beneath that polished surface, political fractures have been widening. Now one of these cracks has burst open, revealing a profound shift inside the bloc: Europe...
The United States has entered a moment that looks less like routine politics and more like the opening chapter of a constitutional thriller: the Supreme Court says "reverse it," and the president says "no."
Why the U.S., Iran, Russia and China Are Quietly Moving Toward the Same Line**
The Gulf of Oman has become the center of a global geopolitical convergence. Within a single operational theater, fleets from Russia, China, Iran, the United States, the European Union, and the departing United Kingdom now operate side by side. In quieter times, the arrival of just one major vessel would dominate international headlines. Today, the...

Strategic Reserve Seized: Why Hidden Cash Stashes Are Becoming a New State Resource
In politics, words rarely disappear. They linger, especially when spoken at the wrong time, in the wrong tone, or aimed at the wrong person. Today, Ukraine finds itself entangled in a crisis that is not solely economic or geopolitical — but partially linguistic. A single remark made years ago by President Volodymyr Zelensky now appears to have...
The Strait of Hormuz has once again become a fault line where global tensions concentrate. The same narrow passage connecting the Persian Gulf with the Gulf of Oman is now a space where the world's major powers quietly reposition themselves — and this time, the shift arrived earlier than Washington expected.
When Dmitry Peskov quietly stated that Russia remains interested in restoring economic cooperation with the United States, many analysts rushed to frame it as a "turn to the West." But that interpretation misses the real target of the message. The remark came at a moment when The Economist circulated an explosive estimate: removing U.S. sanctions...
