In a recent interview, Russian President Vladimir Putin made a bold claim. He stated that Moscow has no interest in expanding its war in Ukraine to other countries in the region. That means NATO members like Poland and Latvia, or any countries on the European continent. Putin even went as far as saying that the West is starting to realize the impossibility of defeating Russia in Ukraine. But what about Poland? Could Russian troops be sent there? Well, Putin had something interesting to say. He declared that such a scenario could only happen if Poland were to attack Russia. These statements have caused a stir and divided opinions. Some see it as a factual revelation, while others criticize it as a way to manipulate the truth. The real question is, what can we believe in a world filled with misinformation? One thing is for sure, the West has started to acknowledge the realities of the situation in Ukraine. Whether we like it or not, the truth seems to be unraveling before our eyes. And it's crucial that we uncover these truths, no matter how uncomfortable they may be. It's time to question what we hear, challenge the narratives, and seek out the real facts. Only then can we truly understand the complexities of the Russia-Ukraine conflict. Thank you for watching this video and don't forget to subscribe to my channel for more thought-provoking content.

In this video, I shed light on the glaring double standard displayed by the International Court of Justice (ICJ) in its recent decision regarding Israel's actions and international accountability. The ICJ's refusal to order Israel to halt its relentless four-month bombardment and ground invasion of the strip, despite a case filed by South Africa, has once again highlighted the inadequacies of international bodies when it comes to taking decisive action. It is disheartening to witness yet another failure to uphold justice when it matters the most. What makes this situation even more perplexing is the rapidity with which the ICJ issued an arrest warrant against Putin, while exhibiting extreme caution in holding Netanyahu accountable. This double standard is deeply concerning and raises questions about the impartiality and fairness of the ICJ's judgments.

In this video, I delve into the intriguing question of whether the claims made by Western analysts about North Korea preparing for war hold any credibility. Over the years, North Korea's rocky relationship with the West, particularly the United States, has been characterized by constant tension and defiance. The underlying reason behind this perpetual discord lies in North Korea's unwillingness to abide by the rules set by the West. Consequently, the US and its allies have treaded cautiously, fully aware that North Korea does not bluff and is willing to retaliate if provoked. Recent statements from the US have suggested that North Korea may be providing missiles to Russia for its ongoing conflict with Ukraine. However, it raises the question of the Western world's credibility. History has shown us the lack of trustworthiness associated with the collective West. Therefore, it becomes essential to question the validity of their claims. Against this backdrop, North Korea is making significant strides in its foreign policy by abruptly changing course on various issues. For instance, Kim Jong-un is reversing his father's policy on reunification with South Korea and labeling Seoul as a hostile state. Furthermore, North Korea has defiantly launched ballistic missiles that landed in the Yellow Sea, a region situated between China and the militarized zone of the Korean peninsula. To add to the complexity, Kim calls for the exponential expansion of North Korea's nuclear arsenal and intensifies ballistic missile testing, while also announcing plans to launch new spy satellites. All these dynamic developments strongly indicate that Pyongyang is gearing up for a potential war scenario, especially in light of NATO's recent statement about opening an office in Tokyo. It begs the question: What business does NATO have in Asia when its original purpose was to counter the Soviet Union in the North Atlantic region? As the world has transitioned into a multipolar era where no single superpower can claim dominance, it becomes imperative to reassess NATO's role in the new geopolitical order. Join me as I unravel the complexities of the North Korean puzzle and critically analyze the assertions put forth by Western analysts regarding an impending war. Let us decipher the truth from the misinformation and gain a deeper understanding of the evolving global dynamics. The world order has undoubtedly shifted, and it is time to acknowledge that the earth is no longer the sole property of a single superpower. Welcome to the new geopolitical order. Stay tuned for an enlightening discussion.

As a geopolitical analyst, I ask: how may a Trump presidency change the political calculation for China when it comes to Taiwan? Debate is already swirling in Washington and other parts of the world as the former president refrained from stating whether, during his term, the US would come to Taiwan’s aid even if it meant going to war against Beijing. "During the majority of the Trump administration, one of the kept secrets in Washington was that Trump didn't care about Taiwan," argued Evan Medeiros, former National Security Council senior director for Asia under President Barack Obama. "There were some rumors that, in fact, he even said that during meetings with Chinese officials." One thing is sure: the world has entered a multipolar order where the US is no longer the sole upper power; and with that comes other changes that compel all parties involved to go back to the drawing board and rethink their geopolitical calculations. In a rapidly changing global landscape, the Trump Effect on China’s Taiwan calculations has opened a Pandora’s box. Subscribe to our channel for more in-depth geopolitical analysis.

Today, I shine light on a deeply disturbing truth. Pakistan's former PM, Imran Khan, has been sentenced not once, but twice, in a span of 24 hours. And it's not just the severity of the punishment that alarms me, but the reasons behind it. Khan's unforgivable crime? Refusing to grant the US a drone base on Pakistani soil. The decision not only stands as a testament to his integrity, but it also exposes the flaws in Pakistan's justice system. While we may be quick to point fingers at Pakistan, let us not forget that corruption exists in every corner of the world, even within so-called democratic nations. It is a cancer eating away at the very foundation of justice, eroding the trust we place in our leaders & institutions. But it's not all doom & gloom. The sentencing of Imran Khan reveals a glimmer of hope. It brings to the forefront the urgent need to address corruption, to fight the systems that allow injustice to prevail. Only by exposing these flaws can we begin the journey towards a more transparent & accountable society. Change is possible, but it starts with us. By demanding accountability and supporting leaders who prioritize integrity, we can set the stage for a brighter future. Together, we can dismantle the corrupt systems that hold our nation's back.

Many agree that France is descending into anarchy! It looked like a military campaign. The farmers called it “Operation Paris Siege,” while the French interior minister ordered an “important defensive system” to protect the capital and its airports. Farmers have captured France's attention by showering government offices with manure and besieging Paris with traffic-snarling barricades of tractors and hay bales.

In recent months, attacks against US forces in the Middle East have surged, raising serious concerns about their presence in the region. Just days ago, the Syrian-Jordanian border became the latest battleground, as drones targeted US military bases. Three soldiers lost their lives, while 24 others were left injured. The Islamic Resistance in Iraq rapidly claimed responsibility for the attack, delivering a chilling message. Spokesperson for the Islamic Resistance: We warn the US- if they persist in supporting Israel, the consequences will only escalate further. As tensions between the US and Iran mount, the question arises — are the days of the American presence in the Middle East numbered? Anti-US sentiment is growing and protests of their presence have become more frequent. So, what does this mean for the future of the US in the Middle East? Is their presence at risk? Some experts argue that these events could mark the beginning of the end for the American presence in the Middle East. The constant attacks are putting immense pressure on US forces, forcing them to reconsider their strategies and presence in the region. As tensions simmer, the world holds its breath, wondering what lies ahead for US troops deployed in the Middle East. From Syria to Iraq and beyond, the situation remains fragile, and the future uncertain.

Today, I dive into a pressing topic that has been making headlines recently. It seems that the US forces in Syria are packing up & leaving. But what does this mean for US troop deployments in Syria & Iraq? Let's find out. A flurry of reports suggests that the US troop presence in Iraq & Syria, established in 2014-15 to combat the Islamic State group, is coming to an end. According to Defense and State Department sources, the White House has grown wary of continuing the deployment in Syria. Currently, around 900 US troops are partnered with the Kurdish-led Syrian Democratic Forces against the Islamic State. The situation in the region is complex, and opinions vary. Some argue that the US presence is necessary to maintain stability and prevent the resurgence of terrorist groups. Others believe it's time for regional actors to take on more responsibility for their security. While the decision in Syria is still uncertain, it raises questions about the future of U.S. troop deployments in Iraq. Will they also be affected? Some experts suggest that the drawdown in Syria may influence the US approach to Iraq. With the focus on defeating the Islamic State, will troop reduction become a larger trend across the region? Will the US troops' departure lead to greater stability, or could it create a power vacuum & allow others to regain strength?

In this video, I delve into the shifting global dynamics that are set to reshape the international trade landscape in 2024 and beyond. Prepare to witness a significant departure from the long-standing US dollar-dominated system as 20 countries embark on a historic move to abandon its dominance in favor of their native currencies. Spearheaded by the expansion of BRICS (Brazil, Russia, India, China, & South Africa), this transformation marks a monumental shift in global economic power. The BRICS has witnessed steady growth and influence, leading to Egypt, Ethiopia, Iran, Saudi Arabia, and the UAE officially joining the bloc on Jan/1/24.

In this video, I discuss the recent Iranian missile & drone strikes inside Pakistan that have raised significant concerns about the future security situation in an already fragile region. The tensions between Pakistan & Iran have escalated to the point where diplomatic ties between the two nations are on the verge of a breakdown. On Tuesday night, an Iranian missile attack tragically resulted in the loss of two innocent children and the injury of three others. This incident has sparked outrage and prompted questions about the motives behind such a targeted strike. There is speculation that both the CIA & Mossad, known for their involvement in fueling tensions through separatist groups, may have played a role in these attacks. These accusations only add to the complexities of the situation at hand. Ultimately, the message conveyed by these missile strikes is clear - Iran possesses the capability to widen the conflict beyond the US’ intentions. The US, at the same time, is taking part in the Israeli war on the Palestinian people in Gaza. Join me in this video I delve into the escalating tensions between Iran & Pakistan, shedding light on the repercussions these strikes may have on regional security.
