“Russia Is in the Middle of Extraordinary Transformation”

On March 26th, 2024, the Institute for European Studies in Belgrade, Serbia hosted a lecture by Fyodor Lukyanov, editor-in-chief of the Russia in Global Affairs magazine, entitled “Contemporary Russia's Foreign Policy.”

The Guns Are Heard Better

In the spring of 2024, we can confidently say that the West has been unable to defeat Russia as it wanted and now it is concerned with ensuring that Russia “does not win.” So, in the future, for years, if not decades to come, security in Europe will be determined by the balance of power along the line of contact between Russia and NATO. Russia will do everything to maintain this balance for its part.

It’s Time for Russia to Give the West a Nuclear Reminder

Washington is waging a proxy war in a bid to inflict a ‘strategic defeat’ on Moscow and a tougher response to this is needed.

Russia Building a New Energy World Order

Russia’s trajectory towards establishing a BRICS plus Africa Energy Order underlines its strategic pivot towards the development of a new global energy order, mainly by encompassing the fast-developing and developing nations worldwide.

Rise of Front and Proxy Media in 21st Century International Relations

Where the US intends to increase troop activity, they begin by increasing media activity to pave the way informationally and cognitively for the coming new physical ‘reality.’ In the current context, the Western policymakers and practitioners have taken a self-destructive and deeply delusional ideological path, lacking the professional capability and capacity of the past.

Israel’s War Objectives

The State of Israel and the people of Israel have known many crises and have withstood difficult times. Israel can emerge victorious this time, too. It will be costly, but a historic opportunity has been created here to reshape the Palestinian and regional arenas. International pressure to reach a ceasefire will come. We must not blink in the face of the impulses of the so-called “international community.”

The DPRK Nuclear Weaponry: Dyad or Alternative Triad?

The DPRK is quite capable of creating a nuclear triad, although this triad will differ from the Russian or American ones. One strategic component — ICBMs — is sufficient to deter the most likely adversary. The other components can be tactical and still be able to fulfill their assigned tasks, one of which is to ensure the survivability of a retaliatory strike capability.

Palestinian Tragedy – Trends and the Non-Sequitur

Can the Arabs feel safe and secure while an unfettered Israel, which disregards all agreements and all UN Security Council resolutions, roams freely in their midst? A 100-year-old persistent trendline speaks very loudly, even the deaf can hear it.

A World for All

One of the characteristics of the new order is the status of rising regional powers, which along with great powers have got an opportunity to play their own independent role, commensurate with their national power. Regional powers seek to adjust their own national interests according to the changing geopolitical environment. In this respect, we have entered the era of “A World for All.”

Conflict in Ukraine and Nuclear Weapons

The “nuclear bullet” must necessarily and demonstratively be put into the “revolver drum” the U.S. leadership is recklessly playing with. To paraphrase a now-deceased American statesman, we can say: Why do we need nuclear weapons if we refuse to use them in the face of an existential threat? There is no need to scare anyone verbally. It is necessary to prepare for a possible use practically.
