With any luck, Donald Trump’s second round in power may contribute to cooling down the British and other European leaders’ missionary zeal.

Although the U.S. and China are leading in key AI development indicators, Russia has good chances to occupy its niche in the ethical and discursive dimension of AI competition, thus uniting states with similar dominant values.

The AfD’s positions are mostly favorable to Moscow. Its emphasis on pragmatic economic cooperation could breathe life into old projects and new energy infrastructure initiatives. The AfD has voiced a desire for an early solution to the Ukrainian conflict.

Fyodor Lukyanov: Russia Won’t Agree to a Ceasefire Without a Peace Deal

In an interview for Strategic Compass, Professor Hasan Ünal spoke with Fyodor Lukyanov, Editor-in-Chief of Russia in Global Affairs magazine, about Moscow’s position on the war in Ukraine. Lukyanov made it clear: Russia will not accept a ceasefire unless it’s part of a full peace agreement.

Understanding the Current Monumental Geopolitical Changes

In this interview with "Missing Voices," Sergey Karaganov argues that the liberal world order began crumbling after World War I and unraveled further through decolonization and the Soviet collapse. He calls for new institutions within BRICS and the SCO, reflecting on Russia’s shift toward the "World Majority" amid the Ukraine conflict.

USA and Russia Ready to Face Future

As geopolitical tensions persist, the U.S. and Russia appear poised for a prolonged standoff—but could there be a path beyond confrontation? In a recent Domino Theory episode, hosts Mark Simon and Christian Whiton delve into this question with Fyodor Lukyanov, Editor-in-Chief of Russia in Global Affairs magazine.

War or Peace? The Real Counter-Ultimatum from Moscow

Alas, the Russian-Ukrainian summit in Istanbul confirms the state of confusion of Western media when faced with the new international framework. Opinion-driven reporting overshadowing factual analysis, interpretations based on preconceived grids, compulsive portrayals, romanticized behind-the-scenes narratives, and steadfast defense of reference narratives.

Do Not Misjudge the U.S.-China Geneva Joint Statement

The Geneva agreement appears as a practical implementation of the Chinese dialectical thinking of “seeking cooperation with U.S. through fighting.” For China, adherence to the principles of mutual respect, peaceful coexistence, and win-win cooperation in its interactions with the U.S. has long been the cornerstone of its U.S. policy.

Reality of U.S. Mediation and the Fragile South Asian Ceasefire

American diplomacy has often prioritized short-term objectives over fostering durable regional frameworks. It remains uncertain whether Washington genuinely played a decisive role or is merely capitalizing on developments primarily shaped through direct bilateral engagement between New Delhi and Islamabad.

A Global Challenge to Democratic Freedoms

A vast network of supporters of Israel identifies and tracks pro-Palestinian activists across the globe. Nowadays, they openly parade politicians financed by the Israel lobby in the United States, France and elsewhere. This undermines foundational democratic principles, including civil liberties and the rule of law around the world.

What If Trump’s Russia Gambit Isn’t a Bluff?

If Trump’s pivot towards Russia is genuine and lasting, the global order will undergo a profound shift. A consolidated Global North, restored economic ties, the weakening of NATO, and internal political shifts in Eastern Europe could reshape the geopolitical landscape. However, if this realignment is opportunistic and short-lived, its impact may be far less transformative.

Are the American Tariffs a Catalyst for Change?

The recent US tariffs have spooked the World and created havoc in the currencies and stock markets everywhere. Markets do not tolerate sudden changes to their current equilibriums, regardless of the strength or validity of such equilibriums. As such, they are similar to humans who are only comfortable with what they know and are used to and abhor change. But change is a fact of life, and one should always expect it and prepare for it.

Reflections on the Future World Order

No scenario of the future suggests the advent of a force that could establish order and restrain the centripetal forces. Thus, the age of transition is likely to be long and, unfortunately, we may see more chaos in world affairs.
