The Complete Idiot’s Guide to World Affairs

Posted by: John Phoenix The left and right take the same reality-based view of the world but respond to it in different moral terms. Liberals, on the other hand, live in an alternate universe – of pure make-believe Sometimes it helps to pare things back to their essentials, especially when complexity is being exploited not to illuminate but to confuse. So here is my short, complete idiot’s guide to world affairs: There are two reality-based understandings of what we call “world affairs”, or sometimes “foreign news”. 1. The first sees the United States as the beating heart of a highly militarised, global empire – the strongest ever known, with more than 800 military bases around the world. The US has divided the world into, on the one hand, “democracies” and “moderate state...

The Nuclear Ban is Back

Posted by: John Phoenix From 3–7 March 2025, members of the Treaty on the Prohibition of Nuclear Weapons (TPNW) have gathered for their third meeting since the agreement became law in 2021. About half the world’s countries have joined the treaty so far, pledging to never acquire nuclear weapons and to work for their abolition globally. During the first few days of the meeting, rich discussions transpired about both the geopolitical obstacles and hopeful opportunities for nuclear disarmament. Rising military spending and threats of “rearmament” create a grim context for this meeting, but TPNW states parties are well poised to articulate a collective alternative based on the logic of disarmament instead of the illogic of deterrence. As many speakers conveyed, cour...

Trump Vs. The World: It’s NOW All Or Nothing!

Posted by: John Phoenix There Can NEVER Be Another Deal with Trump, Period! Here’s Why We Are All In Deep Trouble! Our World is in Deep Trouble Today and You Need To Listen Very Carefully Because We Are Going to War! Pay Attention! Trump and the Art of NO Deal: A Serious Very Dangerous Lesson in Negotiation and Credibility Negotiation is an art that requires trust, consistency, and a mutual understanding that agreements will be honored. When one party repeatedly breaks their word, they lose all credibility, rendering future negotiations meaningless. Donald Trump’s track record, particularly during his presidency, provides a case study in how the absence of trust can lead to catastrophic consequences in diplomacy, business, and global stability. The NAFTA Renegotia...

2024: year of both victories and defeats in the struggle for multipolarity

Posted by: John Phoenix December 30, 2024 OLYMPUS DIGITAL CAMERA Lucas Leiroz, member of the BRICS Journalists Associations, researcher at the Center for Geostrategic Studies, military expert. Since 2022, international society has changed completely. On one hand, it is possible to say that the world is now de facto multipolar, since Western countries no longer have the power to impose their so-called “rules” worldwide. On the other hand, these same Western countries refuse to recognize the new geopolitical reality and react to the changes with aggression, promoting wars and terror around the world. In 2024, the Western reaction to the geopolitical changes has generated conflicts and suffering in many parts of the world, especially in the Middle East. Supported by the Collec...

The promise of BRICS

Posted by: John Phoenix Since the organisation now known as BRICS was founded in 2009 it has evolved considerably under the pressure of the world crisis of imperialism. Founded as a group initially consisting of Brazil, Russia, India and the Peoples Republic of China (South Africa joined in 2010), it arose out of a shared frustration on the part of the four founding members of the group at the dominance of the US in terms of its control over most of the international institutions that currently exist, such as the UN, IMF, World Bank and World Trade Organisation. The foundation of BRICS and its subsequent expansions have seen it evolve into an alternative international organisation that countries are now queueing up to join as US dominance of the international financial an...

Central Asia: the forgotten heart of Islamic civilisation? MEMO in Conversation with Iskandar Ding

Posted by: John Phoenix Is Persian the bridge language of ancient Muslim societies? And are Central Asian countries seeing a revival of this ancient heritage? When we think of the great cities of Islamic history, we tend to think of Baghdad, Damascus, Cairo, Isfahan and Istanbul. But for much of history Samarkand, Herat, Kashgar and Bukhara, to name a few, were at the epicentre of Muslim history. The modernisation of the region, Russian colonisation and later Soviet rule severed the historical connections between Central Asia to the rest of the world. However, since the 1990s, Central Asian countries increasingly celebrate and explore this heritage, but how much of the past survives and where is the region going? One way to think about these questions is through the prism...
