Here are the rules, OK? The United States is the greatest, most moral country to ever exist. It brings democracy to all the poor savages in the rest of the world, who are incapable of knowing what’s good for them. It doesn’t commit war crimes, there’s just some occasional collateral damage amid all that democracy-building. […]
The 11-day showdown between Israel and Palestinian factions in Gaza has changed the dynamics of the Palestinian-Israeli conflict in many ways after years of political inertia that left the right wing government, led by Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, with room to accelerate the demographic change in East Jerusalem and the de facto annexation of the […]
We are led to believe that history is being made in Israel following the formation of an ideologically diverse government coalition that, for the first time, includes an Arab party, Ra’am, or the United Arab List. If we are to accept this logic, the leader of Ra’am, Mansour Abbas, is a mover and shaker of […]
In order to compete more successfully with China, the Biden administration has argued that the United States must strengthen its Indo-Pacific alliances and partnerships.

The repercussions continue from US President Joe Biden’s official recognition of the so-called Armenian genocide on April 24.

India is passing through the second wave of the Covid-19 pandemic. Though the peak is yet to come, the fury has already stunned the world. The blame game has started over the callous and pathetic unpreparedness of the agencies in meeting the crisis while the lack of oxygen is taking scores of lives. Some blame […]
The expansionists of New Delhi spend perturbed days, thinking that their self-styled superpower of India gets besieged soon after the foreign troops walk out of Afghanistan, as President Biden rightly declared on April 14, 2021, “It is time to end the forever war” in Afghanistan.” He said that the United States had long ago accomplished its main […]
I was torn by conflicting emotions when, as I expected, President Biden announced that the US would withdraw its troops from Afghanistan by September 11 of this year.
