The Shadow Diplomat – Unraveling the US’ Legacy of Intervention and Interference

Victoria Nuland's priorities were to uphold American interests and to intervene and influence countries with ties with the USA's adversaries, such as Ukraine. Nuland advocated American liberal interventionism ideas across the Caucasus, where she is blamed for the recent anti-government protests in Georgia in 2023. Nuland is also blamed for present-day Armenian problems with Azerbaijan regarding issues related to Artashk where she is blamed for the present-day rift between Armenia and Russia. India is also not untouched by Victoria Nuland's policy, as she has been very critical of India's present-day policy, where she has raised concerns regarding India's relationship with Russia. Victoria Nuland, the most senior and experienced diplomat in the recent history of the USA, is set to r...

One of Putin's optically highlighted opponents Alexei Navalny has suddenly died in the prison he was held in. Authorities in Moscow claimed he suddenly fell ill and died while being given medical help. It's sudden because only yesterday he h...

Can Taylor Swift Influence the Outcome of the US Presidential Elections? Understanding Her Advocacy, Political and Cultural Impact

Swift's ability to galvanize her massive fan base, often referred to as "Swifties," cannot be understated. Her endorsements of Democratic candidates previously have been accompanied by significant spikes in voter registration and enthusiasm among her followers. Swift's influence is likely to be most pronounced among younger, more liberal voters, while its effect on older and more conservative demographics may be limited. While Swift’s endorsements and activism may sway some voters and elevate key issues, their impact must be considered alongside broader societal trends and political dynamics in the US. As the United States prepares for the highly anticipated 2024 presidential elections, the role of influential figures in shaping public opinion and mobilizing voters h...

Understanding the Texas Border Crisis: US States Suffer While Biden Dithers on Illegal Immigration

President Biden's approach to immigration has faced significant criticism, with several perceived failures contributing to the challenges at the U.S.-Mexico border. The Biden administration's failure to enforce federal immigration laws, containing illegal immigration, inadequate detention policies, and choice of equity over law enforcement has resulted in a grave threat to US national security.

In recent years, the Texas-Mexico border has become a flashpoint of contention between state and federal authorities, primarily due to a surge in illegal border crossings. The intricacies of the issue have led Texas Governor Greg Abbott to implement...

US-Taiwan-China Conundrum And The Limits of the American Global Power

The notion of American hegemony and predominance in geopolitical power games is steadily declining, as witnessed in its capitulation to China's diktats in recent times, including on Tawain. Biden’s strong reassurance of its One China Policy, aimed at not upsetting the Chinese establishment has raised eyebrows on the real depth of the strategic commitment of the USA towards Taiwan. With the world order experiencing a constant churn, time and again, a golden opportunity has been given to the Chinese, on a platter to take precedence as “the” global hegemon. The recently held elections in Taiwan have created turbulent waves and irked-up sharp reactions from China. The ruling party in Taiwan, the Democratic Progressive Party, has made a comeback with a thumping majority. Its new preside...
