China began its most important political deliberations of the year on March 4, with the opening of its Two Sessions, that is, the assembly of its two major legislative bodies, the National People’s Congress (NPC) and the Chinese Peoples’ Political Consultative Conference (CPPCC).

Leading Russian economist Sergey Glazyev has called for the BRICS New Development Bank (NDB) to play the leading role in the establishment of a new currency to boost investments and trade by avoiding submission to the bankrupt, dollar-based international financial system.

On Feb. 26, the one-month deadline given to Israel by the International Court of Justice to submit a report on the measures it had taken to prevent the commission of genocidal acts in Gaza and to ensure delivery of humanitarian aid and services to Palestinians, expired (cf.

The gap between reality and narrative on the Ukraine war is growing wider and wider in the West, as seen on the second anniversary of the conflict. Italian PM Giorgia Meloni wanted to inaugurate the Italian chairmanship of the G7 by holding the group’s meeting in Kiev, with questionable success. While she traveled there with EU Commission head Ursula von […]

In the week between the Munich Security Conference (MSC) and the Ecofin meeting of EU Finance Ministers, a strategy for rearmament started to take shape in Europe.
