Ilham Aliyev wants to pull out of the Minsk Agreements
Ilham Aliyev is at the OSCE Munich Security Conference where he has claimed he will be pulling Azerbaijan out of the OSCE Minsk Group that negotiated and mediated between Armenia and Azerbaijan over Nagorno-Karabakh. Previously, Aliyev also insisted that the Minks Group end its discussions over Nagorno-Karabakh given that this issue has, according to him,…

The point of peace is that both sides stop firing
The newly appointed UK Foreign Secretary, David Cameron, has co-authored an article in The Times with his German counterpart, Annalena Baerbock, outlining their government’s position on the war in Gaza. It is so far the most eloquent and logical position written in Europe which directly contrasts with the position of those European governments calling for…

Shouldn’t one first quench the fire at home, before helping our neighbours?
With the war in Gaza, Pedro Sanchez has found a very convenient diversion to his political crisis back home. If Pedro Sanchez could propose drastic measures on a conflict that is outside the European continent, I would suppose he would be doing even more for the conflicts in his own continent and political family.

Some basics and history on Israel and Palestine

Those who don’t respect rule of law at home will be unlikely to respect international rules-based order. This should also be said in…

The imperialism of diplomacy
It is indeed not surprising that prominent rich Americans of the hard right like Elon Musk and David Sacks are in contact with the Kremlin and are propagating its demands in exchange for ending its war on Ukraine. The logical fallacy that one should negotiate for peace with someone who wants to destroy you has…

The barbarism of pacifism
I come into your house. I rape and beat your family. I rob you and destroy your property. I also begin to kill your family members, and I won’t stop until you make peace with me by giving me what I want from you. There’s a great sense of psychopathy in this morbid logic of…

Insufferable idiocy and fraud
Prime Minister Robert Abela, who previously serviced Russian oligarchs to obtain Maltese passports, is making a strong case in favour of Europe forcing Ukraine to surrender its land to Russia. The foreign affairs of our Mafia State are amoral, fraudulent and opportunistic in the short-term, but at least, the Prime Minister should for once in…
