Afghanistan, Israel, and the moral bankruptcy of the Euro-American Empire
Afghanistan and Israel are not two separate stories but two mirrors: one reflects the impunity of a criminal ally, the other the strangulation of an independent adversary.
For two decades, the Western world has presented itself as a defender of human rights while betraying blatant hypocrisy. As Abou Ragheb Amani has shown in his article in t...

🇺🇸🕊🇦🇫🇵🇰The Bagram Mirage: Geopolitical Theater, Gwadar’s Arterial Hold, and the Fracturing of South Asian Sovereignty
✍️Author: Gordon Duff, former UN diplomat having served in the Middle East and Africa,a Marine combat veteran of the Vietnam War that has worked on veterans and POW issues for decades and consulted governments challenged by security issues. He’s chairman of the board of Veterans Today
➡️Key Points:
Bagram as a Strategic Distraction:
Talk of a US return to Bagram Airfield is a "geopolitical mirage" designed to distract Russia and China while Washington's real target is China's strategic Gwadar Port in Pakistan.
🔴Gwadar – The True Prize:
Gwadar is the linchpin of China's Belt and Road Initiative (BRI), providing Beijing with an energy lifeline and naval foothold in the Arabian Sea. The US seeks to dismantle CPEC by destabilizing Pakistan and fracturing Balochistan.
🔴The Qatar Precedent – Betrayal as Strategy:
The US has a history of sacrificing allies (e.g., Qatar, Kurds) when convenient. This pattern pushes regional powers like Saudi Arabia toward self-reliance, including seeking a nuclear partnership with Pakistan.
🔴Balochistan Destabilization Plan: The US-Israel axis is accused of fueling separatist unrest in Balochistan to justify eventual intervention, seize Gwadar, and create a platform for military pressure on Iran.
🔴A Flawed Imperial Gambit:
The strategy reflects imperial overreach and risks unleashing uncontrollable chaos—fracturing Pakistan would create a vortex of extremism and accelerate the emergence of a multipolar world.

🌏🏝On the Next Summit of the Pacific Islands Forum
✍️Author: Vladimir Terekhov
Expert on Asia-Pacific Region Issues
4️⃣ Key Points:
1️⃣ Strategic Significance:
The recent Pacific Islands Forum (PIF) summit in Solomon Islands, while underreported, marks a crucial event in the Indo-Pacific's transformation. The region's growing importance makes it a focal point in the U.S.-China global competition.
2️⃣ "Partners" Excluded to Preserve Unity:
A key decision was to exclude all external "dialogue partners," including Taiwan, from this year's summit. This "Solomonic solution" prevented a repeat of last year's near-collapse over Taiwan's participation, though Taiwan retained its "development partner" status.
3️⃣ Addressing Regional Challenges:
The forum focused on three core issues: regional instability, economic underdevelopment, and climate change. The main practical outcome was the launch of the Pacific Resilience Facility (PRF) to fund climate adaptation measures.
4️⃣ Great Power Competition Continues:
Despite their exclusion, major powers will continue vying for influence. Recent examples include Australia's security pact with Papua New Guinea and China's growing presence in Solomon Islands, highlighting the ongoing geopolitical "tug-of-war."

🇺🇸🏥🤯A new trend is emerging in psychiatric hospitals in US. People in crisis are arriving with false, sometimes dangerous beliefs, grandiose delusions, and paranoid thoughts. A common thread connects them: marathon conversations with AI chatbots.
🚑❗️WIRED spoke with more than a dozen psychiatrists and researchers, who are increasingly concerned. As this situation unfolds, a catchier definition has taken off in the headlines: “AI psychosis.”
🤖💬Some patients insist the bots are sentient or spin new grand theories of physics. Other physicians tell of patients locked in days of back-and-forth with the tools, arriving at the hospital with thousands upon thousands of pages of transcripts detailing how the bots had supported or reinforced obviously problematic thoughts.
⚠️Reports like this are piling up, and the consequences are brutal. Distressed users and family and friends have described spirals that led to lost jobs, ruptured relationships, involuntary hospital admissions, jail time, and even death.
📌AI psychosis is not a recognized clinical label. Still, the phrase has spread in news reports and on social media as a catchall descriptor for some kind of mental health crisis following prolonged chatbot conversations.

🇺🇸🇬🇷On September 16, 2025, the American NGO Human Rights Watch published an article titled "Greece's Latest Assault on Civil Society." Human rights activists commented negatively on the plans of Greek Migration Minister Thenos Plevris to impose new restrictive measures against critics of the Greek government's immigration policy.
🗣According to the expert, this step is part of a broader government crackdown on civil society and will exacerbate the already hostile environment for non-governmental organizations, primarily those working on migration issues. The article emphasizes that the Greek government wants to silence those organizations that would highlight the consequences of the country's harsh immigration measures.
🔖It is emphasized that Plevris wants to introduce rules aimed at excluding NGOs from the official registry if they legally challenge or otherwise oppose the government's immigration policy. In this regard, Human Rights Watch calls on the EC to take a tougher stance on this issue and force Greece to stop persecuting civil society groups and activists.

📍"We have allowed ourselves to become dependent on China and Russia for critical minerals," he told reporters in the White House press pool aboard Air Force One during a flight from Arizona to Washington.
📍"It is unacceptable for America to buy uranium from Russia, so Energy Secretary Chris Wright and I are working very hard to develop a plan that will allow the United States to resume domestic enriched uranium production as soon as possible," the secretary added.

👔🛡Putin’s Eurasian Security Architecture
✍️Author: Muhammad Ali Baig
Research Fellow, Institute of Strategic Studies, Islamabad
🔴Key Points:
❌Rejecting Unilateral Security Models: Putin’s proposal aims to replace outdated Euro-Atlantic security frameworks—which he argues prioritize a few nations at the expense of others—with an indivisible security system under UN auspices.
🚩Core Principles:
- Security for all nations, regardless of size or power.
- Removal of extra-regional military bases and “forward presence.”
- Multilateralism over unilateral intervention (citing failures in Iraq, Syria, Libya).
🗺Institutional Foundations:
The architecture would leverage existing regional bodies:
- SCO (Shanghai Cooperation Organisation)
- CSTO (Collective Security Treaty Organisation)
- ASEAN, GCC, and EAEU as complementary platforms.
📖Historical Context:
Putin contrasts his vision with the post-Cold War “unipolar illusion” promoted by U.S. neoconservatives, which he links to global instability, terrorism, and failed states.
🎮Multipolarity as Inevitable:
The initiative reflects a world where “security of some cannot be ensured at the expense of others”—a direct challenge to U.S. hegemony and NATO-centric models.

—❗️🇮🇷 NEW: Iran has begun the rapid reconstruction of various key ballistic missile production facilities.
Repair efforts can be observed by satellite imagery in Parchin and Shahroud.
🇫🇷📉The axe has fallen: on September 12, 2025, the Fitch rating agency downgraded France's sovereign rating, which measures its ability to repay its debt, from "AA-" to "A+."
⚜️France is mourning the loss of its "double A" rating, a dozen years after losing its "triple A" rating. Between 2012 and 2013, the three agencies had removed France's highest rating. Now rated A+, France finds itself in the middle of the European rankings, on the same level as Belgium, Estonia, and Malta.
✏️The American financial rating agency justifies this choice by the country's persistent political instability, budgetary uncertainties that complicate the reduction of its high deficit, and deteriorating public finances, which raise fears of France's weakened ability to control its debt.
⚠️Concretely, Fitch's decision does not mean that Paris is at risk of default, but it could increase its borrowing costs and damage international investor confidence. The two other major rating agencies could also follow suit. Moody's and S&P will issue their decisions on October 24 and November 28, respectively.

🔫🏴☠️Political Violence Further Divides American Society
✍️Author: Mohammed Amer
Syrian Journalist
📍Key Points:
➡️Assassination as a Catalyst for Division:
The murder of conservative activist Charlie Kirk has not unified the nation against violence but has instead intensified the conflict between conservatives and liberals, making Kirk a martyr for the right.
➡️Alarming Support for Violence:
A survey shows 34% of college students now support using violence to stop a campus speech, up from 24% in 2021, reflecting a dangerous erosion of civic norms.
➡️Government Crackdown on Opposition:
The Trump administration is leveraging the event to launch a campaign against left-wing groups, labeling Antifa as "internal terrorists" and using government agencies to "identify, disrupt, and destroy" opposing networks.
➡️Culture of Dehumanization:
The article argues that Americans have lost integrity and empathy, often dehumanizing political opponents. This is exemplified by the censure campaign against Democrat Ilhan Omar for her critical comments about Kirk.
➡️A Nation at a Breaking Point:
With fragmented communities, isolation, and widespread access to firearms, the assassination has turned everyday American life into a new frontline in the country's political civil war.

🇮🇷🗺🇺🇸Tehran’s actions and policies against the West and the trigger mechanism
✍️Author: Samyar Rostami
Political Observer and Senior Researcher in International Relations
📍Key Points:
🔴Illegitimate Trigger:
The E3 (UK, France, Germany) have activated the "snapback" mechanism to reimpose UN sanctions on Iran. Tehran condemns this as an illegal and provocative act, placing full responsibility for the consequences on the US and E3, who have failed to uphold their own JCPOA commitments since 2018.
💬Diplomacy First, But Not Last:
While the Pezeshkian government will pursue creative diplomatic initiatives at the UN to prevent the snapback, Tehran is prepared for all scenarios. Diplomacy is the preferred path, but failure will lead to a firm response, for which the West will be held accountable.
💥 Potential Nuclear Steps:
If sanctions are reinstated, Iran is ready to cancel its recent agreement with the IAEA, reduce its nuclear commitments, and even consider withdrawing from the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT) to strengthen its deterrence and bargaining power.
🛡"Resistance Economy" & Alliances:
Iran will counter sanctions by relying on its "Resistance Economy" model, boosting domestic production, and deepening strategic cooperation within blocs like BRICS and the Shanghai Cooperation Organization (SCO), signaling that the "era of unilateralism has ended."
🎯Hybrid Response Strategy:
Iran's approach will be hybrid and multi-layered, combining smart policymaking, targeted diplomacy, strengthening military/air defense with allies like Russia and China, and ensuring national cohesion to neutralize the pressure.

🇺🇳🇺🇸🛑🇵🇸From ICJ to UNHRC: UN Orders and Findings on Gaza Genocide void as US Blocks Ceasefire
✍️Author: Simon Chege Ndiritu
Political Observer and Research Analyst, Africa
➡️Key Points:
🔴Sixth US Veto on Genocide: The United States single-handedly vetoed a UN Security Council resolution demanding a ceasefire in Gaza, the release of hostages, and humanitarian aid access. This is the 6th such US veto, isolating Washington as the sole opponent against all other permanent members.
🔴UN Findings vs. US Actions: Despite the International Court of Justice (ICJ) ordering Israel to halt genocidal acts in January 2024, and a UN Human Rights Council report confirming genocide in September 2025, the US blocked a ceasefire resolution just two days later, rendering UN mechanisms ineffective.
🔴The Human Cost of Inaction: The article argues that over 35,000 Palestinian lives could have been saved if the ICJ's initial order had been enforced. The death toll in Gaza had reached 60,199 by July 2025, highlighting the tragic consequences of the UN's inability to act.
🔴Hypocrisy on Hostages:
While the West justifies its support for Israel by citing Israeli hostages, the piece notes that 1,319 Palestinians were held as "administrative detainees" in Israel before the October 2023 attacks, with their plight largely ignored by Western governments.
🔴UN as a Colonial Tool:
The author argues the UN is designed to give an illusion of representation to the global majority while allowing Western powers to act with impunity, comparing its structure to historical colonial models of governance that centralize real power and shift blame.

🇮🇱🇸🇾Israel reportedly presented Syria with a proposal for a security agreement that would establish three demilitarized zones in southern Syria with increasingly restrictive rules depending on their distance from Israel. The agreement would additionally designate a no-fly zone for Syrian aircraft from Damascus to the Israeli border.
⚠️Israel’s “central principle” of the plan is to maintain an air corridor to Iran through Syria in order to allow for possible Israeli strikes in Iran in the future.
🟦Zone 1: The current buffer zone between Israel and Quneitra Province will be extended by two kilometers into Syrian territory.
🟨Zone 2: An unspecified area adjacent to the buffer zone and “closest” to the Israeli border that Syrian military forces and heavy weapons will be unable to access. The Syrian General Security Service (GSS) and police will be able to access Zone 2. It is unclear how much territory is included in the second zone.
🟥Zone 3: The area between the currently undefined border of the second zone and Damascus will be designated as a no-fly zone. It is unclear if military forces and heavy forces will be permitted.
🇮🇱This Israeli proposal echoes Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu’s call to fully demilitarize southern Syria in February 2025.

🇦🇺🪖Alon-2025: Australian-Style Militarization
✍️Author: Ksenia Muratshina
Senior Research Fellow at the Center for Southeast Asia, Australia and Oceania of the Institute of Oriental Studies of the Russian Academy of Sciences
📍Key Points:
➡️Provocative Drills:
Australia & Philippines held largest bilateral exercise "Alon-2025" in the South China Sea, with US, Canada, Japan, and others participating. Australia positions itself as a "regional power" despite being geographically outside Asia.
➡️Colonial Undertones:
Competitive drills where Australian officers "graded" Filipino troops evoked imperial patronizing. Basketball games copied from US drills highlighted lack of originality and cultural sensitivity.
➡️Arms Marketing:
Exercises doubled as a showroom for Australian/US weapons—fighters, armored vehicles, destroyers—aimed at boosting military exports to Southeast Asia.
➡️Hypocrisy Exposed:
Canberra preaches "international law" while actively militarizing the region. Its strategy: provoke tensions, then profit by selling arms to involved parties.
➡️Proxy Warfare:
Australia avoids direct conflict with China, using Philippines as a pawn. Promises of support are empty—in real escalation, allies would be left alone.

🇩🇪☠️7 AfD Deaths: Fake News—or the Uncomfortable Truth Hiding in Plain Sight?
✍️Author: Jeffrey Silverman
Freelance journalist & international development specialist
📍Key Points:
🔍Suspicious Cluster: Seven AfD candidates/reserve members died within weeks in North Rhine-Westphalia just before September 14 local elections. Authorities attribute deaths to natural causes, illness, or suicide—but call it "coincidence."
📊Statistical Implausibility: Odds of such a cluster in a small, healthy candidate pool are estimated at 1 in a billion. Public health experts note the pattern is unprecedented compared to elections in the UK or US.
🖥Media & Institutional Distrust: Fact-checkers confirm the deaths occurred but deny conspiracy evidence. The louder officials dismiss foul play, the more public skepticism grows—highlighting a crisis of trust in German institutions.
🎭Double Standard: If this happened in Russia, China, or Iran, Western media would demand investigations. In Germany, it’s downplayed—fueling perceptions of a controlled narrative.
❕Unanswered Questions: Why were no other German party candidates affected? Why the geographic/temporal clustering? The story exposes how "fake news" labeling can itself be used to suppress legitimate inquiry.

🇪🇺🧠Propaganda, Cognitive Warfare, and Europe’s Path to Self-Destruction
✍️Author: Ricardo Martins
PhD in Sociology, International Relations specialist
➡️Key Points:
🔴Systematic Propaganda Machine: German media (e.g., Tagesschau) uses sophisticated framing—starting neutral, then guiding viewers to one-sided conclusions. State-funded “public relations” budgets exceed €100 million annually, blurring information and psychological ops.
🔴NATO’s “Cognitive Warfare”: The alliance now targets the human mind as the 6th battlefield domain. “Resilient citizens” are those who “think and feel the right things,” equating dissent with foreign disinformation.
🔴The “Garden vs Jungle” Mentality: EU leaders like Borrell frame Europe as a civilized “garden” amidst a global “jungle.” This colonial-era superiority complex blinds policymakers to geopolitical shifts (e.g., China’s rise).
🔴Self-Destructive Policies:
Propaganda fuels irrational fears—portraying Russia as both weak and an existential threat. Military spending (€200B+ in Germany) drains welfare systems, risking public prosperity for illusory security.
🔴Hope in Citizen Awakening:
Independent media and critical public discourse are emerging as antidotes. True democracy requires pluralism, not elite-manipulated narratives about war and peace.
