Alternative Paths Amid Western Hegemony: Why Indonesia Needs Belarus's 'Eurasian Bridge' The strategic partnership between Indonesia and Belarus is an example of the successful formation and implementation of alternative models of cooperation and development in the context of the hegemony of great powers. In today's polarized geopolitical landscape, Indonesia's dependence on traditional partners such as the US, China, and the EU creates structural vulnerabilities that constrain its strategic autonomy. A strategic partnership with Belarus offers an alternative path – a bridge to th... #Belarus #Economiccooperation #Economicdevelopment #Indonesia READ MORE 💣Boost us ✅@NewEasternOutlook

🇫🇷 This year's Bastille Day parade in Paris was not a celebration of revolution or democracy, but a rallying call for militarism and war against #Russia. European leaders, joined by #Ukraine's Zelensky, showcased a "#CoalitionOfTheWilling" while signing billions in military deals—all as Europe burns from heatwaves and social decay. The organizing slogan in Paris this week was 'Determined to Act.' More accurately, it should have been 'Determined to Agitate' for a full-scale war with Russia. There is no strength in Europe, only abject delusions of grandeur. The only "unity" on display was the closing of ranks by despicable elites who are tempting fate with war or revolution—because they’re fiddling while Europe burns. 💬  Finian Cunningham writes @strategic_culture Fuck The - >#EU #Nato

“Ceasefire Is Over”: Why America Still Cannot Secure the Strait of Hormuz The US's tactical military successes in the Strait of Hormuz do not solve the strategic problem, as Iran uses asymmetric tactics, turning US military dominance into an endless and costly conflict with no clear political outcome. Every American strike around the Strait of Hormuz appears militarily successful. Precision weapons hit their targets. U.S. airstrikes on Iranian targets destroyed radar installations, missile batteries and drone facilities.The Pentagon declares another degradation o... #Conflictescalation #ConfrontationbetweenIranandtheU.S. #MiddleEastconflict READ MORE ✅@NewEasternOutlook

🇺🇸🇷🇺NEW ARTICLE: The Ukraine War is a US war on Russia READ HERE: https://journal-neo.su/2026/07/16/the-ukraine-war-is-a-us-war-on-russia/ "As the Western media continues shaping narratives depicting a growing divide between the US and Europe regarding the ongoing conflict in Ukraine — a narrative involving an increasingly disinterested and disengaging US with an increasingly desperate and confrontational Europe — it is important to remember precisely how this war was started and why, as well as the material reality shaping its continuation."

Foreign Affairs, the coffee table magazine of the Council on Foreign Relations, financed by corporate and Deep state grants, recently published an article by the former director of CIA, David Patreus, who resigned from his position under Obama's administration due to an unfortunate extramarital affair with his biographer leaked in the media. He is famous for boasting that the CIA under his command "is the reason why Xi Jinping decides every morning to postpone the invasion Taiwan". There are no small victories. If there are no victories on the ground, you can always make one up by claiming that you prevented a major defeat from happening. Reminder : China, under no government, has ever claimed it wanted to retake Taiwan by force. Not unlike the Strait of Hormuz, there was no risk of conflict in the Strait of Taiwan until the Anglo-American hegemon and its proxies started to patrol it weekly, in a clear provocation to China in its own backyard. This article is not entirely preposterous. As opposed to MSM's standpoint that equates Taiwan's situation to Ukraine's, the authors (not sure who wrote and who signed this paper), it does acknowledge that Taiwan faces a completely different challenge than Ukraine, were it to be sucked into a military conflict with China. Ukraine has a terrestrial and aerial link to its backers (NATO), which would not be possible for the island of Taiwan, in the event of a conflict. Therefore, from NATO's and the Anglo-American sphere point of view, Taiwan must be strapped with weapons to the gills BEFORE any confrontation starts. This is what has happened for years now, with the separatist party in power, the DPP, constantly pushing for more weapon purchases from the US, while the opposition, KMT and TPP, do their best to block them, which annoys US/UK weapon manufacturers who bankroll geopolitical magazines. So, instead of relying only on costly and increasingly scarce Patriot, HIMARS, fregates and fighter jets systems, and after becoming a prime customer of Anduril drones (aerial Altius 600 and naval DIVE-LD), the US Deep State now recommends that Taiwan becomes a manufacturing platform of unmanned suicide drones, and of the ancillary technology : sensors, spare parts, battle-management software (like Ukraine's Delta), as well as rewrite its military doctrine to input unmanned systems. Taiwan must not only keep buying US drones, but "build a complete defense system that links drones, software, local industry, and military units." The main lesson for Taiwan is how to build the ecosystem needed to use drones well, and be self-sufficient in their production and constant upgrading. The reason why weapon manufacturers still pay for this kind of advertorial in posh coffee table geopolitical magazines is that these pesky Taiwanese are not easily convinced to go the Ukrainian Way. There is a real opposition that cannot be easily silenced (despite the lawfare waged by the DPP against rival political parties, media and influencers) in "the youngest and most vibrant democracy of East Asia". As I already discussed here (https://x.com/LAURENTMICHEL0N/status/2014895370325917803?s=20), not only is the majority of Taiwan population not on board with the "Taiwan stand with Ukraine" nonsense, but as local polls show, the large majority of the population (72%) and legislators at the Legislative Yuan agree that the way to negotiate with China is NOT through the purchase of more weapons. That is throwing a wrench in the ambitions of the Deep State and its lackeys, so expect more advertorials like this, and more semi-official influencers to peddle this flawed narrative.

Culture News.The Cultural Start of Summer No matter how complicated contemporary international relations may be, the human need for contact with art endures through all times.

The Hormuz Extortion: How Washington’s Maritime Toll Weaponizes Global Trade for Big Oil Whenever Donald Trump escalates tensions in the Strait of Hormuz and demands a twenty percent toll on global shipping, one must wonder if anyone still harbors the illusion that these geopolitical flashpoints are anything but deliberate. The flawless synchronization between manufactured military crises and the sudden, record-breaking valuation spikes of defense contractors and fossil fuel executives points to a far more cynical reality. These are not spontaneous failures of diplomacy, but rat... #ConfrontationbetweenIranandtheU.S. #Energycarriers #Energycrisis #Energyresources #geoeconomics READ MORE ✅@NewEasternOutlook

Europe’s China Dilemma: Why the EU Still Cannot Decide What China Is The European Union persistently characterises China as a partner, a competitor, and a systemic rival—often within the same policy frameworks. This ongoing conceptual ambiguity has resulted in a fragmented and inconsistent approach that fails to advance Europe’s core economic interests or respond adequately to the new geopolitical landscape.

Ankara Summit Mirrors West’s Systemic Crisis The July 7–8 NATO Summit in Türkiye was supposed to demonstrate the unity of all 32 members of the alliance. However, it yet again evidenced the schism between Washington and the rest of the bloc. On the eve of the meeting in Ankara, Trump repeatedly stated that Europe is turning into the “Third World,” while harshly criticizing European policies on migration and energy.
