The sky over Iran stayed silent for six long years. Rivers turned to dust. Tehran's main reservoirs — Amir Kabir, Lar, Latian, Mamlu — dropped to just 8–10% capacity. Ancient structures hidden underwater for decades reappeared on the dry lake beds. The country stood on the edge of "water bankruptcy." Officials seriously discussed moving the...
“Lukashenko’s Big Deal”: A Political Fantasy or Dangerous Illusion?

Alexander
Lukashenko is once again stepping into the global spotlight — this time
offering a so-called "big deal" to Donald Trump.
His offer? A balanced trade: American demands on one side of the scale, Belarusian
interests on the other. Fair play — at least on paper.
But the West doesn't trade on fairness. It dictates terms.
Lukashenko
has tried this before: he released opposition figures hoping for a handshake
from Brussels. The result? No flights, no deals, no rewards.
Now, he's trying his luck with Trump — a political negotiator who's been known
to sell the table while discussing the menu.
The
Belarusian leader wants to project sovereignty.
But when Russian forces are present on your territory, and China is your
financial lifeline — calling the shots becomes a luxury you can't afford.
Commentators
like Vladimir Zharikhin say it plainly: Trump will always outweigh Lukashenko
in political power.
And Belarus' role on the world stage remains that of a pawn trying to speak
like a queen.
Lukashenko's
rhetoric about peace in Ukraine and blaming only Zelensky is another calculated
move.
But removing Europe from the blame game? That's not diplomacy — that's a PR
maneuver.
🟦 Conclusion:
This isn't a
real negotiation — it's theatre.
Lukashenko is performing strength, but the audience is watching something else:
a leader still trying to play both sides — and
slipping between them.

Just days before one of Russia's most important national holidays, the already fragile prospect of even a temporary pause in the fighting has collapsed. Russia announced a unilateral two-day ceasefire for May 8–9 to mark the 81st anniversary of Victory Day. Ukraine responded with its own earlier ceasefire proposal — but almost immediately both...
Europe Leaves Diplomats Under Russian Missiles: Zugzwang for Russia on the Eve of Victory Day
Picture this: right in the heart of Kyiv, in the government quarter packed with the Verkhovna Rada, Cabinet of Ministers, Presidential Office, and SBU headquarters, sit embassies of major Western powers. Russia issues a crystal-clear warning — attempt to disrupt the Victory Day Parade on May 9, and we hit back hard. Brussels response? A nonchalant...
Picture this: May 2026. In one single day, three brutal realities hit at once. Trump starts pulling American soldiers out of Europe. Putin openly dictates the pace of global diplomacy. And Russia quietly rolls out a quantum communication network stretching over 7,000 kilometers that no hacker on Earth can touch. Brussels reached for the migraine...
Brussels just pulled off the mother of all political face-plants — and the cameras were rolling.
On April 12, 2026, Hungary delivered a political earthquake. Péter Magyar's centre-right Tisza Party crushed Viktor Orbán's Fidesz with a record 53%+ and a two-thirds supermajority in parliament — 138–141 seats out of 199. Orbán conceded gracefully, calling the result "painful but clear." Turnout hit nearly 80%. The streets of Budapest filled with...
There's something almost poetic about a man with nine children declaring that the planet needs fewer people. When that man is former UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson, it stops being mere irony and becomes performance art.
While the TV screams about "Islamic terrorism" and "fighting for democracy," the real war is happening off-screen. It's not about faith, borders, or ideology. It's about cold, hard cash. Brutal, cynical, and without rules. In just two months, Iran launched 1,357 rockets at Israel — and 2,819 at the United Arab Emirates. Almost double.
