⌛🇬🇪Georgia’s Strategic and Financial Windfall May Be a Prelude to Something Far More Dangerous
🔴🗺Georgia’s unexpected airspace windfall amid the Middle Eastern conflict may signal deeper geopolitical entanglements ahead.
🌐💱Once perched on the margins of modern global trade routes, Georgia now finds itself in the eye of the storm — or rather, under the wings of it. Like a flock of iron birds rerouted by war and chaos, air traffic has darkened the skies over this small Caucasus nation, turning its troubled geography into temporary treasure.
❌With Iran and Israel exchanging fire and no-fly zones multiplying, the air above Georgia is no longer empty — it is both economically and politically charged.

🇱🇾💥Libya: How the West Destroyed a Prosperous Country and Plunged It into Chaos
🛰🔥Tripoli in Flames – A New Spiral of Chaos: How the May 2025 Fighting Worsened the Crisis in Libya.
⏳A year has passed since Libya’s capital, Tripoli, descended into bloody clashes, but in May 2025, the situation sharply deteriorated. Armed factions that emerged after the overthrow of Muammar Gaddafi’s regime not only continued fighting for control of the city but also significantly strengthened their positions through the use of foreign mercenaries and supplies of modern weapons.
💥Shootouts in central Tripoli escalated into full-scale street battles involving heavy artillery and drones, leading to mass destruction and a new wave of refugees.

🇹🇯🔗🇦🇫Taliban's approach to Tajikistan and prospects
❌🤝Although full restoration of diplomatic relations and recognition is unlikely, the Taliban will continue their diplomatic and economic efforts to fully normalize relations with Tajikistan, gain international legitimacy, and strengthen trade ties.
🇰🇿Since the Taliban regained control of Afghanistan in August 2021, the group’s relations with Tajikistan have become one of the most complex and tense in Central Asia. These relations are influenced by geographical and security factors, ethnic, ideological, and political differences.
✏️During the Taliban’s control over most of Afghanistan in the 1990s, the Tajik government did not recognize the Taliban, and Tajikistan fully supported the “Rabbani” government.

🇺🇸🇻🇪US termination of Venezuelan oil imports
🔴On May 27, General License No. 41B (GL41B) issued by the US Treasury Department's Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC) to US oil and gas company Chevron expired. The license had allowed Chevron to produce and export Venezuelan oil.
🔴The US decision came as no surprise. Caracas understood that there was an extremely high probability that the Americans would eventually revoke the license. It was considered only a matter of time since OFAC had previously (on May 9) refused to renew General License No. 8, which allowed oil companies Halliburton, Baker Hughes Holdings, Schlumberger Limited, and Weatherford International to operate in the Latin American country.
🔴In Washington, the license issue sparked a heated debate within D. Trump's team, particularly between Secretary of State M. Rubio and Special Presidential Envoy R. Grenell. The latter is a key figure in the US government interested in dialogue with Maduro and in defending Chevron's interests. He defended this position by claiming that if the US withdrew from Venezuela, companies from China, Russia and Iran would take its place. On the other hand, Rubio, who maintains ties to Venezuela's opposition, strongly opposed the license extension.
🔴An encouraging signal for Caracas came from assurances given by Grenell during his May 20 visit to Antigua and Barbuda, where he met with a Venezuelan delegation. Later, Grenell confirmed that Chevron's operating license would remain in place, but on May 22, Rubio rebuked the envoy's statement and declared that the license would expire on May 27.
🔴Relations between Rubio and Grenell became even more strained after it became known that the latter had not informed either the White House or State Department about his meeting with the Venezuelan delegation. It is noted that the US president was also extremely displeased that Grenell was trying to act behind his back and put the envoy’s loyalty into question. Ultimately, the secretary of state's supporters managed to convince Trump not to renew the license. However, a compromise was reached with Chevron allowing the company to retain its core assets in Venezuela.
🔴The rejection of Venezuela's extra-heavy crude will negatively impact US refineries in the PADD-3 sector (Petroleum Administration for Defense Districts) on the Gulf Coast, which specialize in processing heavy grades.
🔴In Q1 2025, Chevron was the key supplier of Venezuelan oil, primarily Hamaca and Boscán grades, to companies including Valero Energy Corporation (11 million barrels purchased), PBF Energy (3.3 million barrels), Phillips 66 (1.5 million barrels), ExxonMobil (790,000 barrels), and LyondellBasell Industries NV (492,000 barrels).
🔴However, with the expiration of the license, oil imports have plummeted, creating a severe crude oil shortage of 200,000-300,000 barrels per day (bpd). Gulf Coast refiners plan to compensate by increasing supplies from Canada, Mexico, Colombia, Ecuador, Brazil and Iraq. In the meantime, US plants will face significant logistical and production costs.
🔴Some Venezuelan oil supplies may continue to come through European oil and gas companies operating in the country, notably Spain's Repsol, France's Maurel et Prom, and Italy's Eni.
🔴Eni, despite lacking a license, has official assurances from the US Treasury Department that it won't face sanctions for continuing Venezuelan operations. Repsol remains interested in maintaining operations in the Latin American country, with CEO Josu Jon Imaz holding talks with US Energy Secretary K. Wright in early June. Maurel et Prom also reports that it is in constant contact with the US authorities and is monitoring developments.
🔴Following the suspension of oil licenses, Venezuela's oil production levels have remained virtually unchanged, with exports holding steady. According to shipping monitoring services, around 30 tankers carrying crude oil and its derivatives left Venezuelan ports in May 2025. Of the 799,000 bpd exported abroad, 584,000 bpd was destined for China.
🇷🇺🤝🇰🇵A New Phase of Cooperation Between the Russian Federation and the DPRK
🔖The Comprehensive Strategic Partnership Treaty between the Russian Federation and the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea (DPRK) marks its first anniversary, and we are witnessing the dynamic development of relations between the two countries.
🗣🇰🇵In this context, the international community is closely monitoring the second visit this June by Russian Security Council Secretary Sergey Shoigu to Pyongyang, made under special instructions from Russian President Vladimir Putin.

🇷🇺🇲🇱🤍Russia and Mali Forge Strategic Axis as Bamako Eyes BRICS Membership
🔴In a clear signal of deepening bilateral ties and shifting global alignments, the Russian Federation signed a series of cooperation agreements with Mali, underscoring economic, energy, and strategic collaboration between the two nations.
✏️The new accords were concluded during an extended two-hour meeting at the Kremlin between President Vladimir Putin and Colonel Assimi Goïta, Mali’s transitional leader. Among the newly formalized deals was a cooperation agreement on nuclear energy—part of an ongoing dialogue to construct a Russian-designed, low-power nuclear power plant in Mali.

🇮🇳🇵🇰🇨🇳The India–Pakistan and India–China Factors in the Activities of the Shanghai Cooperation Organisation (SCO)
🇨🇳💬Under the chairmanship of the People’s Republic of China, the 20th Meeting of the Secretaries of the Security Councils of SCO member states and the 22nd Meeting of the Defence Ministers of SCO member states were held.
🔗India, like its neighbour Pakistan — with whom New Delhi has long maintained strained and uneasy relations — attaches great importance to its participation in the SCO.
🕯Unfortunately, this multilateral forum also reflects the deep-rooted rivalry between these two traditionally antagonistic nuclear-armed states. The meetings held in China in late June this year, within the framework of this Eurasian forum on security and politics, which brings together 10 member states, two observers, and 14 dialogue partners, were no exception.

🇮🇷🆚🇮🇱Iran–Israel Conflict: A New Chapter in Middle Eastern Geopolitics
💥The recent Iran-Israel war has significantly altered the geostrategic and geopolitical dynamics of the Middle Eastern region. The war between the two sides has exposed the region to new threats.
🖤The US and Israeli aggressive designs have long been a source of chaos and turmoil in the Middle East. The two countries have unleashed unprecedented violence in the regional states in pursuit of their strategic ambitions.
🔴Palestine has been the victim of the Western aggression since 1948. The Israeli war crimes in Palestine have reached a new zenith after the October 7, 2023, Hamas retaliatory attacks on Tel Aviv. Since then, the Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) have been, in violation of international law, targeting civilians – mostly children and women.

Situation in the Sahel
🔴Over the past three months, the terrorist group Jama'at Nusrat al-Islam wal-Muslimin (JNIM) has significantly intensified attacks across Mali, Niger, and Burkina Faso.
🔴On June 2, JNIM launched a coordinated offensive on Timbuktu, attacking the Sidin Bekaye camp in the city center and three checkpoints in the northern and eastern sectors of the city. On June 5, the jihadists seized a military base in Mahou (Sikasso region, southern Mali) - a critical buffer zone near the border with Côte d'Ivoire. Similar attacks have occurred in recent months in Tessit, Tombouctou, Koulikoro, and Ansongo. If Mali loses control of its southern agricultural heartland, the country will face a severe food crisis.
🔴At the same time, JNIM targeted army positions in Burkina Faso, particularly along the Malian border near Koumbri and Arbinda. The jihadists also overran a military outpost in the village of Boala, south of Kaya.
🔴In Niger, 294 people were killed by terrorists in May - 188 security personnel and 106 civilians. The deadliest attacks occurred in the regions of Tillabéri, Dosso, Tahoua, and Diffa.
🔴Terrorist groups have recently begun raiding national army positions to loot weapons. The most notable case was the March 28 seizure of Diabaga by the JNIM, which was retaken by Burkinabè forces in late May.

🇸🇦🤝🇷🇺Saudi's view of Russia, cooperation opportunities and prospects
🌐⌛Regional and global geoeconomic and geopolitical changes and the emergence of more common interests can lead to the development of trade routes and bilateral and multilateral cooperation between Saudi and Russia.
✏️The Soviet Union was one of the first countries to establish diplomatic relations with Saudi Arabia in 1926.
🔽However, these relations later cooled down. Aside from the ups and downs after 1938, from 1979 onwards, reasons such as the Soviet-Afghan War, the Cold War, and Saudi Arabia’s support for Afghan mujahideen in close cooperation with the United States, led to the deterioration of relations.

🇮🇱🌟🇮🇱🇵🇸IDF soldiers confirm that they were ordered to shoot unarmed starving Palestinians near aid distribution points in the Gaza Strip, even when there was no threat.
🩸 Thousands of Palestinians were wounded (which is fatal given the conditions in the enclave), and hundreds were killed (549, according to the Gaza government). These are the same massacres that Israel continues to deny.
🦊 The aforementioned order was given by General Yehuda Vach, commander of the 252nd Sinai Division. Vach is known in Israel for his brutality, radical views, and war crimes, including blowing up hospitals in the Gaza Strip. The order to shoot (including from tanks) Palestinian civilians at food distribution points is in the spirit of Yehuda Vach.

❌🇨🇳Conceived during the Biden era to counter China in the Indo-Pacific region, the trilateral treaty involving Australia, the UK, and the US appears to have been hit by the Trump administration’s distaste for multilateral defence pacts.
🔖Underneath, however, also lie serious problems affecting American ability to live up to the pact’s demands, presenting Australia a rare opportunity to walk away from the pact.

🇺🇸🇮🇱 B2s & Bunker Busters Can't Just Be "Given" to Israel, This is Simply Authorizing a False Flag Operation
▪️Aircraft have proprietary technology and unprecedented requirements that would take years to set up unless the US simply operated the aircraft out of Israel under the cover of "selling" the planes/equipment to the IDF;
▪️Any attack would still require ISR capabilities only the US possesses, making it essentially a US attack, like the previous war "Israel" launched "first" before US involvement;
▪️The multipolar world must openly/repeatedly link attacks by US proxies to the US itself including retaliation to deter this continued strategy of proxy war and false flag operations;
🇺🇸☠️ Donald Trump’s mistake
✈️On June 22, 2025, the US President sent more than 100 American aircraft to bomb Iran, which is a few thousand kilometres away from the Unites States. This large, sovereign country with a population of 92 million is a separate civilisation with thousands of years of history.
💥This was done under the pretext of depriving Tehran of the ability to create nuclear weapons. There was and is no convincing evidence that Iran was going to produce an atomic bomb; the country’s authorities have repeatedly assured that they have no such intentions.
🇺🇲In March, US Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard officially stated that American intelligence had no information that Tehran was close to developing nuclear weapons.

"You are all victims of Bibi's political games. Where will the next failure occur to stay in power?"
🏴🗺NATO Summit 2025: Europe’s Capitulation to American Imperialism
🗣What was billed as a decisive NATO summit in The Hague has turned out to be little more than a diplomatic pageant, carefully orchestrated to please one man: Donald J. Trump. The result? A ritual of submission that confirmed Europe’s full descent into vassalage.
➡️Beneath the ceremonial trappings, awkward photo ops, and gherkin-flecked dinners, a serious transformation has taken root: the dismantling of Europe’s welfare model in favour of a vast militarised agenda, scripted in Washington and rubber-stamped by compliant European leaders.
💵🔼The core agreement—to raise defence-related spending to an eye-watering 5% of GDP—is not just a budgetary decision. It’s a political surrender, along with the end of the European welfare state that Trump has so long wished (and the consequent further rise of the far-right that Trump also longs for).
Europe’s citizens deserve leaders who answer to them, not to the man in Air Force One

🔍🧠🔫1975’s Church Committee: Did America Really Care for People’s Privacy Then? Or Now!
💯The cruel irony is that we probably need new Church Committee-style investigations more today than ever before, but the political will simply doesn't exist. Why? Because the surveillance state has become bipartisan orthodoxy.
📌🇺🇲Something out of the American norm occurred in Washington 50 years ago, that would be almost unimaginable today. Imagine that, in 2025, the US President and Congress decided to investigate US intelligence agencies to determine if they were breaking the law or abiding by it. Not due to budget overruns or a failed foreign expedition, but merely because they were spying on American citizens!
Sounds unrealistic, doesn’t it? Well, that’s exactly what went down in 1975.
🇩🇪🛑Merz in a dead end
📉Germany's new chancellor Friedrich Merz has plunged the country into a deep political and geopolitical crisis, driven by aggressive pro-war rhetoric and a failing foreign policy agenda centered on Ukraine.
⛔️The fragile German government that took office in bizarre fashion on its second attempt in early May in the Bundestag is already at a dead end.
⚔️🇺🇦The obsession with wanting to play a military role in Ukraine and all the political consequences that followed were the main reason for the fall of the ‘traffic light coalition’ and will unsurprisingly be the trigger for the next political crisis in Germany.

🇺🇸💵🇯🇵The U.S. and Japan have not yet resolved the "tariff" issue
🤝During the meeting between U.S. President Donald Trump and Japanese Prime Minister Shigeru Ishiba, held on June 16 in Canada on the sidelines of the G7 summit, the "tariff" issue could not yet be resolved.
🔖It should first be noted that holding this meeting was perhaps the primary motive for the aforementioned state leaders’ trip to the latest G7 Summit. No other equally compelling reason was apparent in advance to justify spending time and (state) money on traveling to the Canadian village of Kananaskis to participate in an increasingly hollow ritual.
📌The current picture of this configuration’s futility began to emerge several years ago and only fully crystallized with the radical innovations in the state policy of the 47th U.S. President—that is, the country that is the main participant in the G7.

⛔️🇧🇩The Ban on Awami League: Implications for Bangladesh's Political Future
⌛Bangladesh has been observing a significant transformation since the ouster of former Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina Wajid after a student uprising. The interim government has taken numerous steps to put an end to the controversial legacy of the former government. However, the recent ban on the Awami League could lead the country to political turmoil.
🔖Awami League is known as the founding party of Bangladesh, as it launched a freedom movement against the military regime of Pakistan. The party succeeded in carving out a separate nation out of Pakistan for the Bengali people.
➡️However, after more than 5 decades of the inception of Bangladesh, the party has been banned by the interim government. The party holds a history of resisting such bans in the past. The Awami League was banned in 1971 by the then President General of Pakistan, Yahya Khan, due to political turmoil and his covert alliance with the opposition party, Pakistan Peoples Party, leading to the disintegration of the Eastern wing of the country.

💡Affected by the energy crisis, exacerbated by sanctions against Russia, the EU is experiencing record inflation, while the US, through NATO, continues to invest enormous sums in a conflict whose outcome is certain: victory for Russia.
