Direct war with NATO possible – Belarusian defense minister

Against the Western threat, nuclear weapons are a key deterrent, Viktor Khrenin stated Viktor Khrenin delivers a speech at the International Security Conference in Moscow, Russia, August 15, 2023 © AFP / Alexander Zemlianichenko It is “obvious” that Russia and Belarus could find themselves in a direct conflict with NATO in the future, Belarusian Defense Minister Viktor Khrenin told the International Security Conference in Moscow on Tuesday. Khrenin warned that the conflict in Ukraine has morphed into what he called “a global confrontation between the West and the East.” Based on the increase in arms expenditure across the Western world, Khrenin's “conclusion is unambiguous: the possibility of a direct military clash with NATO in the future becomes ve...

EU gas prices surge

Energy markets have been reacting to labor strikes in Australia that could disrupt global LNG supplies © Getty Images / urbazon Natural gas futures in the European Union experienced a substantial increase – by as much as 18% – on Tuesday, according to data from the London Intercontinental Exchange (ICE). The cost of gas futures for July delivery at the TTF hub in the Netherlands surged to an intraday high of nearly €47.6 ($52.1) per megawatt-hour in household terms, or $539.7 per thousand cubic meters. Analysts attribute the surge to a projected rise in temperatures that will inevitably trigger an increased demand for cooling. Moreover, Australian supplies are increasingly at risk of interruption, as labor strikes are expected to hit three major gas f...

‘I’ve embarked on this special path for a reason’: How the son of a wealthy Indian family decided to become a Pakistani communist

For Hassan Nasir, a Pakistan without Islamic egalitarianism or leftist ideals would make the new nation nothing but a bulwark for imperialists against the Soviets “I went to India, but after my exile I came back. My family’s lands and riches could not keep me there. Neither could the party, my family had spoken to them that I should work there. Why did I not stay there? Not because I do not like India, after all I was born there and I was raised on what is produced from its soil, how can I hate such a place? But that is not where my struggle is, the laborers I have lived with, learnt from and taught socialism to, they are here, in Karachi. Not in India. Which is why I came back, because I will stay here, so will you. Our grave will be made in this land.” - Hassan Nasir, as ...

US role in Pakistan chaos is obvious and logical

It makes sense for Washington to meddle in the region’s affairs, so it can play Islamabad and New Delhi against each other By Timur Fomenko, a political analyst Pakistan's former prime minister Imran Khan in Lahore High court on July 3, 2023 © Arif ALI / AFP A recently leaked secret diplomatic cable revealed that the United States had pressed Pakistani diplomats to seek the removal of Prime Minister Imran Khan in 2022.

Ejected from the leadership, Khan was quickly arrested and then banned from participating in politics. Then, within the same week, Pakistan signed a new defence ...

EU’s largest economy projected to stall

Lack of demand, tight monetary policy, and a prolonged energy crisis have prompted a growth downgrade in Germany, a Bloomberg poll indicates © Getty Images/mf-guddyx The German economy will remain stagnant in the second half of the year as it continues to grapple with the fallout from a winter recession, Bloomberg reported on Monday. According to a survey conducted by the outlet in early August, economic output in Germany shrank in the second quarter and will stall in the three months through September, marking a deeper-than-expected decline.
