Hoping for Europe – You’ll Hope for a Hundred Years. How the EU Is Searching for Its Place in the New World
It is clear that the main strategic direction of the EU (in alliance with the United Kingdom) today must primarily focus on achieving autonomy in the field of security. This means arms production, training capable armies, and creating new command centers, either within NATO or alongside it – while simultaneously maintaining political and economic stability in Europe. Altogether, this represents a complex challenge, as European citizens wish to continue living peacefully, enjoying numerous social guarantees without giving up their accustomed way of life.

NATO without the USA: Kremlin’s dream or a nightmare?
Recently, Republican Senator from Utah Mike Lee introduced a bill to withdraw the USA from NATO, calling it the «Unreliable Organization Act.» This came immediately after the two-day Alliance summit in The Hague. Mike Lee stated that «NATO has fulfilled its role» and accused the European members of the organization of «making American taxpayers pay their bills for decades.»

Who won the Iran-Israel war and why did it even start?
The war, announced as possibly the longest in modern Israeli history, ended after just 12 days. It's the perfect time to understand its background and the prospects for relations between the two hostile states.
Who is Mr. Zelensky?
There will be much more written about Zelensky – both good and bad, admiring and hateful, grateful and contemptuous. For now, we have been given the opportunity to trace how this man, by fate and his own ambitions, found himself on the Golgotha of war.

The Origins of the Islamic Revolution and the Inevitability of Its Defeat
Now, with hostilities between the two states at their peak and the United States coming to Israel’s aid, it is highly likely that the chances of an uprising in Iran are slim. However, if the Iranian regime is defeated, a popular explosion of outrage will most likely indeed overthrow it. Moreover, this will happen largely for the same reasons that led to the collapse of the USSR.

The head of the US Department of Health pursues a policy aligned with radical conspiracy propaganda. What has this already led to?
In the last election, Robert Kennedy Jr. was one of the candidates for US president but then withdrew his candidacy, supporting Donald Trump. Even then, he established himself as an anti-vaxxer, HIV dissident, and conspiracy theorist. It is clear that, as health secretary, he is unlikely to influence America’s foreign policy. However, his unscientific theories can cause serious harm not only to the development of new drugs and vaccines but also to the use of existing ones, which will directly affect the health of Americans.

Between the USA and Iran: How Russia Is Trying to Benefit from the New War in the Middle East
The question of the US entering Israel’s war with Iran remains the main topic on the agenda today. On June 12, the White House officially stated that the United States «is taking a defensive stance» and does not plan to intervene in the fighting for now. Meanwhile, American President Donald Trump repeatedly demanded that both sides «make a deal,» and recently insisted on Israel’s unconditional surrender.

I boldly express my feelings. Why are pro-Palestinian sentiments growing in Europe?
The loud «Freedom Flotilla for Gaza 2025» action last week was accompanied by many sympathetic comments, despite the senselessness and provocativeness of its content combined with the obvious promotional agenda of its participants. Using France as an example, one can see what European pro-Palestinian support forces rely on.
Operation «Opera». How in 1981 Iran and Israel together (!) left the Iraqi dictator without an atomic bomb
What makes this story especially intriguing today is the fact that Israel was actively (albeit secretly) assisted by Iran back then—not the old Shah’s regime, but the Khomeinist one we know. So why did the Islamic Republic support the Zionist strike against their own fellow Muslim co-religionists?
«You sit and think that God will punish you»
In 2023, when the Supreme Court of the Russian Federation declared the non-existent «International LGBT Social Movement» an extremist organization, the Russian queer community finally went underground. For distributing any content mentioning LGBT, you can receive a hefty fine or even a criminal case. Stores stopped selling books with stories about same-sex love, online cinemas are deleting series and films with queer characters, and the social network VKontakte blocks search queries about LGBT. Queer people who agreed to talk about ways to preserve their identity under these conditions were forced to hide even for phone interviews—in friends’ apartments, or even in the forest.

America vs. ICE: Why Protests Against Immigration Police Erupted in Los Angeles
According to several journalists, Trump was prepared for the unrest in California and even desired it to demonstrate to his voters his ability to restore law and order. However, in the fight against illegal immigrants, the U.S. president faced opposition from a large part of American society: diasporas, human rights activists, liberals, and even local authorities.
Musk vs. Trump (and beyond). The Loudest Feuds of the Worlds Richest Man
The whole world is watching the feud between Elon Musk and Donald Trump. The businessman criticized the president’s new tax bill, which Trump calls the «Big Beautiful Bill.» Musk dislikes that it increases the U.S. national debt and also removes tax breaks and subsidies for electric vehicle manufacturers. The rift escalated to the point where Musk hinted that Trump might be involved in Jeffrey Epstein’s pedophilia and sexual coercion case (though he soon deleted those posts). In response, Trump threatened to cancel government support and terminate contracts with Musk’s companies. Tesla, SpaceX, SolarCity, and others have received at least $38 billion from the government over 20 years.

Oh you, honored guests! How PSG football clubs Champions League victory is connected to the problem of Qatari lobbying in Europe
When PSG's plane landed in Paris after their Champions League victory, all the cameras of the welcoming journalists captured the huge inscription QATAR in large letters on its side. No one really hides that the football club is an important part of the «soft power» of the small but wealthy and ambitious Arab state.

Truth vs. Patriotism: Marta Hillers Diary «A Woman in Berlin»
Berlin journalist Marta Hillers did not seek fame or popularity. She certainly was not trying, as one might say today, to «hype» her suffering. She simply needed to speak out, to share with others what she herself experienced and what hundreds of thousands of other German women of that time endured. To feel, if not compassion, then at least understanding. Alas. During her lifetime, she received neither from her country.
No Right to Defense. The Trump Administration Arrests Asylum Seekers at Immigration Court Entrances
The Trump administration has launched a new operation to deport illegal immigrants. Now they are being arrested right in front of court buildings where they come for their case hearings. Cases are closed retroactively, and the arrested individuals enter the so-called «expedited deportation» process. However, in practice, this primarily means the deportation of political refugees who have officially applied for asylum with U.S. authorities.
Dunkirk 1940: The Nonexistent Deal. Is It True That Hitler Intentionally Let Hundreds of Thousands of Enemy Soldiers Escape in France?
“The Event That Changed the World” — under this straightforward slogan, Christopher Nolan’s “Dunkirk” was released in 2017. The film is dedicated not to the most hyped event of World War II in mass culture but to the evacuation of Allied troops from the French town of the same name on the English Channel coast, also known as Operation Dynamo. Amid the triumphant French campaign for the Third Reich, the Allies achieved the incredible — they evacuated hundreds of thousands of their encircled soldiers from the continent to Britain, enabling the kingdom to continue the war. Against the backdrop of successful blitzkriegs, such a Nazi oversight seemed unbelievable.
Running Twice: First from the Regime, Then from Fate
«Some fear pain, others—poverty, exile, death. But there is a special kind of fear—it doesn’t shout, it simply lives in the chest and squeezes it from within. It’s the fear for someone who cannot protect themselves. My fear is for David. In Russia, children like him have almost no chance. We don’t need to be told what awaits David if he is deported. We know. And we are afraid. We are not afraid for ourselves—but for him. He smiles. He lives. But if he is sent back to Russia—he simply won’t be.»

The incredible story of Artemisia Gentileschi. How a 17th-century Italian female painter took revenge on the men who insulted her
A retrospective of Artemisia Gentileschi at the Jacquemart-André Museum — the main Paris exhibition of the current season. The curators tried not to linger too much on the scandalous details of their heroine’s biography, which are now well known, but rather to take a closer look at her art. However, without the story of the rape of 17-year-old Gentileschi, it is hardly possible to penetrate her artistic world. The mission was made impossible by the artist herself: her art is the answer to her own biography. How else to explain the anger and rage that guided her brush, and the very choice of subjects in which the woman always dominates the man or avenges her sullied honor?

“Trump has made the path to ending the war between Russia and Ukraine longer”
The events of the past week have shown that the negotiation process is gradually shifting from a “deadlock” to a “stalemate.” At least, that’s what the latest sharp statements by US President Donald Trump towards Russian President Vladimir Putin suggest. How will the process develop further? We discussed this with Igor Gretsky, an expert at the International Centre for Defence and Security (Estonia) and a political scientist.
