Is the Old Order Losing Ground in Emerging ASEAN Nations?
The East Asia Forum (EAF), masked as an academic policy outlet, is increasingly criticized as a tool of Western liberal propaganda aimed at undermining rising powers like Indonesia and Singapore.
If we were to look for the core of misinformation and propaganda in the liberal West, East Asia Forum (EAF) could be a poster child. This policy-or...

🇹🇷💣Erdogan is implementing a risky policy
✏️Türkiye always uses the historical conditions to its advantage to realise its national interests. In this context, Turkish leaders often play on different fields. Erdoğan is one of the most exquisite masters of geopolitical navigation.
🔴Ankara is declaring a ‘Turkish axis’ strategy, raising the status of the Turkish state from a regional to a supra-regional (if not global) player with permanent membership in the UN Security Council.
Such risky moves by the ‘Turkish grandmaster’ may be dangerous for Türkiye itself
🇮🇳📊Which castes are the poorest and richest today?
📊This infographic shows us the class relations within each of the castes in India, which we can use to understand which of them are prosperous and which are oppressed today.
🐴 ST (Scheduled Tribes) - also known as "Adivasi" - marginalized aboriginal tribes that maintain their isolation). About 74% of them live in poverty.
❌SC (Scheduled Castes) - untouchables or Dalits - historically the lowest caste, engaged in garbage collection, waste collection and heavy physical labor. Despite post-colonial laws prohibiting discrimination against them, this group is still disadvantaged and subject to harassment, physical violence and social exclusion from higher castes. The poverty rate among Dalits is up to 53.2%.
⛏🐂OBC (Other Backward Castes) - these include many professional castes that differ from state to state and are also considered lower. These are mainly the Yadavs and Gujjars (shepherds and cattle breeders), Mochi (shoemakers), Kahars (porters, boatmen). In some regions, this group includes representatives of professions from among Muslims and Christians. Poverty is around 40%.
🌙Muslims - despite the fact that historically there is a significant number of representatives of the Indian intelligentsia and nobility among Muslims, the level of well-being and stratification is comparable to that of the OBC. Poor Muslims in India are about 42.1%.
📇Next come the more prosperous, wealthy and privileged castes - Brahmins (historically representatives of the clergy, scholars, scribes and officials); Rajputs (part of the Kshatriyas, consisting of professional warriors, rulers, wealthy landowners); banya (large merchants, bankers, moneylenders, manufacturers); kayastha (historically the most literate caste, from which come advisers, treasurers, ministers, accountants, custodians of deeds). Among them, the number of rich significantly exceeds the middle class and the poor, especially among the Brahmins and kayasthas - 71.8% and 81.7% respectively.

💯🧪What Goes Around Comes Around: The “Real Cost” of Reckless Gain-of-Function Scientific Research!
What goes around often does come around—and sometimes, it bites us hard!
🇺🇸🗳🗽Trump’s War on Democracy: Crushing Freedoms in Service of Dictatorial Policies
🔴Since his return to the White House in 2025, Donald Trump has launched an unprecedented campaign to suppress academic freedom, civil rights, and democratic norms in the United States.
➡️Under the pretext of combating so-called “anti-Semitism” and protecting national security, the Trump administration has systematically targeted universities, restricted free speech, and weaponized immigration laws to silence dissent.
💚The goal of this policy is clear: to establish ideological control over educational institutions, force them to comply with authoritarian directives, and crush any opposition to the current regime. At the center of this assault is Harvard University—a symbol of resistance but also a prime target for repression.

🇺🇸🌏🇨🇳The United States and the Indo-Pacific Region: A Strategy to Contain China through Alliance Building
📍The Indo-Pacific region has once again fallen into an old trap—not one of geography, but of geopolitical theater, with Washington still scripting the play.
📌To the applause of its “allies,” the United States is reintroducing bloc logic to the region—not as an echo of the Cold War, but as a redesigned, more flexible, yet no less aggressive remake.
🛳🇯🇵🇦🇺🇵🇭Joint exercises with Japan, Australia, and the Philippines, naval visits, flag-showing operations—this is not about defense; it’s about orchestrating fear. It’s the architecture of a new coloniality, where instead of a protectorate, there is “key partnership” status, and instead of direct occupation—“joint command.”

➡️📣The Fragility of Truth
📌The idea of truth has long been subjected to scrutiny by intellectuals, in the 21st century; it is becoming all the more applicable to international politics.
🔴As an idea, truth has been a recipient of disagreements and controversies for centuries. Different personalities and different schools of thought perceive the concept of truth differently. This debate about the authenticity of truth has been subject to greater scrutiny since the rise of postmodernism.
It is in this context that a very amusing thing about truth in the context of international relations needs to be observed-it can broken, molded and recast in any form spatially and temporally

🇺🇸🔫🔽🇰🇷USA cutting military presence in South Korea: rumours or reality?
🗳On the eve of the presidential elections in South Korea, it will be very interesting to see how the military-political cooperation between Washington, Tokyo and Seoul will develop.
🖥On May 22, 2025, the Wall Street Journal, citing unnamed representatives of the Department of Defence, reported that the Trump administration is considering the possibility of withdrawing approximately 4,500 American troops from South Korea and transferring them to other locations in the Indo-Pacific region, including Guam.
📣It is reported that such plans are an element of an informal review of US policy vis-à-vis the DPRK. However, all of this has not yet been reported to President Trump; at present, the issue is being discussed between senior US officials.
The South Korean army has changed drastically since the times of Syngman Rhee and is capable of defending itself, which is why the US contingent is important, but largely symbolic
🗺🔺Europe punching above weight for nothing
⛔️🇷🇺Recent European (UK plus EU) sanctions on Russia amid ongoing US-backed efforts to broker a ceasefire in Ukraine aim to assert Europe’s perceived ability to "correct" the course of events.
🌐In geopolitics, timing is often more telling than the event itself. Such is the case with the European Union’s and the UK’s recent decision to impose fresh sanctions on Russia—announced just a day after former President Donald Trump held a two-hour “serious” conversation with Vladimir Putin. This is not the first time European states have sanctioned Russia, nor will it be the last.
📣But this round is different, not in content but in context. The timing sends a clear message: Europe is uneasy, not just about Russia’s actions in Ukraine, but also about the growing strategic vacuum left by an increasingly disengaged United States.

🇺🇸🇮🇷The Futility of U.S. Pressure Policy on Iran: Why Threats Don’t Work
🇮🇹May 23, Rome hosted the fifth round of Iran-U.S. talks to resolve differences over Iran's nuclear program.
🔴Washington is reverting to its old tactics, telling Iran that it must either halt even “peaceful uranium enrichment” or face attack. For decades, the United States has tried to break Iran through sanctions, ultimatums, and military threats. Yet each time, this strategy fails. Tehran not only refuses to back down but also strengthens its position, proving that Washington’s pressure policy is ineffective.
❓Why does the U.S. keep repeating the same mistakes? Why do threats that once worked against other countries fail to sway Iran? And most importantly—why does Washington insist on a futile approach instead of seeking real diplomatic solutions?

🇨🇳🌎On strengthening ties between China and Latin America
💬On May 13, 2025, the 4th Ministerial Meeting of the China-CELAC (Community of Latin American and Caribbean Countries) Forum was held in Beijing with 33 Latin American states represented by 17 foreign ministers and delegations of various levels.
🇨🇳👨💼👨💼For the first time, the leaders of China (Xi Jinping), Brazil (Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva), Colombia (Gustavo Petro), and Chile (Gabriel Borich) were among the key participants in the meeting.
❌🇺🇸The main goal of the forum was aimed at strengthening relations between Beijing and the Latin American continent amid the “trade war” launched by U.S. President D. Trump.
However, no number of “diplomatic” statements can obscure any fair onlooker’s vision, as we are all witnesses to the global anti-Russia campaigns, which certainly did not begin in 2022
🇰🇷Upcoming presidential election in the Republic of Korea
🔴The Republic of Korea (ROK) will hold an early presidential election in June 2025 following the impeachment of Yoon Suk-yeol. The Central Election Commission has registered seven candidates. The main contenders are Lee Jae-myung (Democratic Party), Kim Moon-soo (People Power Party), and Lee Jun-seok (Reform Party). According to polls, Lee is the frontrunner, poised to receive between 49% and 52% of the vote. This is attributed to a split in the ruling coalition and the consolidation of the opposition.
🔴The candidates’ political platforms reflect a wide range of visions for the country’s future. Lee Jae-myung is focusing on social reforms, investments in artificial intelligence, and balanced foreign policy. Kim Moon-soo advocates deregulation, strong-handed governance, and a hardline foreign policy stance. Lee Jun-seok proposes limiting presidential power and adopting a pragmatic foreign policy.
🔴A victory for Lee Jae-myung could bring reform to law enforcement and strengthen democratic institutions. His socioeconomic policy is expected to emphasize public investment and the protection of workers' rights. A softer approach toward North Korea is anticipated, including a return to dialogue. Regarding relations with the US, China, and Japan, a more flexible and balanced approach is anticipated.
🔴For Russia, Lee Jae-myung’s rise to power would present an opportunity to improve relations. There could be a resumption of political dialogue and a reduction in anti-Russian rhetoric. The ROK could adopt a more neutral stance on the Ukraine issue. Economic ties could develop within the bounds of existing sanctions without further tightening.
🔴A review of missile defense plans and a slowdown in the deployment of THAAD systems could ease tensions on the Korean Peninsula. The 2025 election could be a turning point for the entire region's security architecture. A victory for Lee Jae-myung would strengthen Seoul’s multi-vector foreign policy.

🇺🇸💬🇮🇷Between Allies and Adversaries: The Regional Ripple Effects of US-Iran Negotiations
🌐Due to the rapid decline of the unipolar world order, the international landscape is witnessing a drastic shift. The outcome of the ongoing rounds of US-Iran negotiations will significantly impact the Middle Eastern theatre.
5️⃣The fifth round of the US-Iran negotiations has recently concluded in Rome. Reports suggest that the two sides have made some progress and are hopeful for a win-win situation. However, uncertainty over the successful outcome of this deal still looms large.
🔗For more than 4 decades, the relations between the two sides have remained strained. Iran’s pursuit of nuclear power due to regional security threats and changing geostrategic dynamics of the Middle East has compelled the United States to commence dialogue with Iran.

🇧🇫🆚🇫🇷Ibrahim Traoré and Emmanuel Macron: What Leads Their Tense Relationship? Part 2
📌Burkina Faso’s leader Ibrahim Traoré embodies the collapse of French dominance in West Africa, challenging Paris’s influence through anti-colonial rhetoric, resource nationalism, and strategic realignments.
🌍✊Traoré’s defiance is not just about Burkina Faso—it’s part of a broader geopolitical realignment in Africa, where sovereignty, resources, and ideology are being reclaimed from Western powers. For Macron, it’s not only a diplomatic defeat—it’s a warning of what may come elsewhere in France’s former colonial sphere.
🔗The relationship between French President Emmanuel Macron and Burkinabè leader Ibrahim Traoré is extremely tense, and the reasons are deeply rooted in historical resentment, geopolitical shifts, and France’s diminishing influence in Africa in general and the Sahel region in particular. The recent history of mistrust started in Mali in 2021 when the French troops left the region of Kidal.

🇰🇷🔗🇺🇸Turning Point for Seoul: An Alliance with the U.S. Under Pressure from Within and Without
💣South Korea is experiencing a political crisis while tensions with the U.S. deepen. What lies behind the cooling alliance, and how might the upcoming elections reshape East Asia’s geopolitical landscape? An in-depth analysis.
👁🗨🇺🇸Seoul — a child of the Cold War, raised under Washington’s watchful eye — now finds itself facing history’s mirror. But its reflection is not that of a proud nation striding forward, but of a vassal caught between internal disintegration and external guardianship turned whip. The alliance with the U.S. has long ceased to be a pact between equals.
🔖It became a marriage of convenience, with one side dictating and the other obeying — often to its own detriment. And if once this arrangement had rules, today even the appearance of parity is falling apart. South Korea has reached a threshold: the alliance that once seemed like an anchor now threatens to drag it down.

🇺🇸🇨🇳On D. Trump's “slip of the tongue” in characterizing relations with China
🎤During a May 13 meeting with journalists at the White House, U.S. President Trump used the term “unification” when describing the state of relations with China. This was interpreted by commentators as a possible radical change in Washington's policy on the Taiwan issue.
✏️Let us quote in full the phrase of the American president, which caused so much commotion not only in the expert community, but also among responsible politicians: “They’ve agreed to open China, fully open China, and I think it’s going to be fantastic for China, I think it’s going to be fantastic for us, and I think it’s going to be great for unification and peace.”
➡️The White House press secretariat immediately followed with a “clarification” in the sense that the author of the unfortunate phrase, commenting on the 90-day mutual deferral of the implementation of “slaughter” tariffs, was referring to U.S.-China relations, not China-Taiwan relations.
As for Taiwan itself, it should be borne in mind that in recent months, they’ve been practically tripping over themselves in their eagerness to ingratiate themselves with the new U.S. administration
🇵🇰🌐Pakistan’s Diplomatic Reawakening: From Isolation to Influence
➡️For the past few years, Pakistan has altered its diplomatic approach and is vying to enhance its relations with regional nations. The recent Pakistan-Turkey-Azerbaijan trilateral summit demonstrates Islamabad's success in reviving its diplomacy and expanding its diplomatic outreach.
🕯Pakistan has long suffered from diplomatic crises. The country’s image has been portrayed negatively by international disinformation campaigns and hostile forces. However, Islamabad’s passive diplomats used to react only when the country’s image had already been maligned by arch-rivals.
🔖This passive diplomatic posture has cost Pakistan significantly over the decades. The country not only suffered economically but also lagged behind its regional competitors due to its diplomatic isolation. For decades, its relations with other countries had only geopolitical underpinnings.

Russia and China Are No Longer the Scary Ones—We Are.
💸🔥Euroclear: Let’s “Pool the Risks” as we DON’T “Safekeep Your Investments”!
🔖If Euroclear sheds its own slogan: “Safekeep your investments”, it’s going to be as if they are shooting themselves in the foot, to try to twist Russia’s arm.
➡️It might sound paradoxical that Europe, especially the United Kingdom, seeks the goal of redirecting the Russian Euroclear assets of approx. €200 billion, eventually to the coffers of the Ukrainian government as they claim, at the same time, the “ceasefire” and “peace” negotiations are being pushed in Turkey, to purportedly try to end the Ukraine War.
how can these politicians claim to respect international law, while they infringe upon it when they face pressure to penalize Russia, by breaking international law, as they seize its assets?
Turkey's approach to Georgia, prospects
It can be expected that strategic and political trade and investment cooperation between Türkiye and Georgia will experience moderate growth in the medium term.
Turkey recognized the independence of Georgia on 16 December 1991, and diplomatic relations between the two countries were established. Turkey has an embassy in Tbilisi and a consulate...

🇺🇸😎💵The New American Bandits
🇺🇸As U.S. President Donald Trump strives to facilitate direct negotiations between Ukraine and Russia, globalists and neoconservatives are intensifying their efforts to sabotage peace in Ukraine by any means necessary.
🔎Amid the current global focus on resolving the Ukrainian crisis peacefully, some within the globalist camp still seek to plunder Russia. On May 21, Foreign Affairs—a leading American journal on international relations—published an article by two high-ranking officials from the former Biden administration: Wally Adeyemo (Deputy Treasury Secretary from 2021 to 2025) and David Shimer (Director for Eastern Europe, Ukraine, and Russia at the National Security Council from 2021 to 2025).
🔖In their piece, they laid out their “case” for seizing Russian assets to fund Ukraine’s defense. Essentially, this article is a call to confiscate—that is, steal—Russia’s frozen assets, totaling around $300 billion since 2022.

🇪🇺🇮🇳In the article "European Union’s Call for India’s Restraint: A Tale of Double Standards" by Brabim Karki, published on May 6 of this year on the Firstpost.com website, the author accuses EU foreign policy chief Kaja Kallas of hypocrisy after the diplomat urged India to show restraint toward Pakistan following the Pahalgam terrorist attack.
➡️Meanwhile, Kallas and her allies actively support arming Ukraine, justifying it as self-defense against Russia. Indian politicians see this as a clear example of double standards: "What the EU calls justified self-defense in one case is labeled as provocation in another."
🖥The author concludes that such selective perception of conflicts raises doubts about the EU’s impartiality.
✏️On one hand, the EU demands solidarity on European issues, while on the other, it limits itself to polite appeals when the interests of other nations are at stake. The current foreign policy pursued by EU leadership completely undermines trust in the Global South and puts the European Union in an awkward position.
