Will a New Monroe Doctrine bring peace?
The international system is entering a phase of open instability. Power no longer concentrates in one center, nor does it move predictably through established institutions. Instead, it fragments across regions, alliances, and competing economic blocs. The West still possesses enormous military, financial, and technological advantages, yet its ability to shape outcomes has clearly diminished. At…

WW3: Why Trump’s 50% military increase may prevent escalation
Donald Trump wants to increase U.S. military spending by roughly 50 percent. This proposal immediately provokes outrage across media, academia, and political commentary. Critics frame it as militarism, authoritarianism, or even a step toward dictatorship. These concerns sound reasonable at first glance. However, they focus on symbolism and personality rather than on geopolitical structure. Power…

The world is safe: We have a stable leader
We can be proud we have a stable, mature, self-less leader of the world. The praise sounds reassuring. It sounds calming. It sounds like adult supervision has finally arrived. In an age of overlapping wars, collapsing norms, and nuclear escalation, many people want to believe that someone sane sits at the top. Someone restrained, someone…

Reversed roles: A Smart U.S. president and a dumb Israeli one
History sometimes delivers ironies that shape global politics. The United States, the world’s most powerful country, elected a president described by his own top advisor as “as dumb as shit.” Israel, a far smaller state, is led by a man with an IQ estimated above 140, a survivor of decades in office, and a master…

Can Trump become a dictator?
The United States still looks like the world’s strongest democracy. It has elections, courts, and a constitution that limits power. Yet democracies do not collapse overnight. They erode step by step. Leaders test the system, discover weak points, and go further. Donald Trump has already shown the ambition to push boundaries. He questions elections, attacks…

Trump vs the banks? Or just another power grab?
They say Donald Trump broke from the system. That he disrupted the global financial order, clashed with central banks, and terrified the architects of Western capitalism. But the truth may be far less revolutionary and far more calculated: what if he never opposed the system—only wanted to own it? What appears as rebellion might be…

Can the real boss Peter Thiel control Donald Trump?
Peter Thiel is one of the most powerful men alive (if you want to sue me, read this). He does not seek the spotlight like Donald Trump, yet his influence stretches further. He built PayPal, seeded Facebook, and operates in elite financial and technological circles. Unlike Trump, he does not crave attention. He wields power…

Who is Donald Trump? Political complexities
Donald Trump’s rise to power is a paradox. He was elected despite widespread opposition from major interest groups. Since then, he has sought revenge against those who resisted him, consolidating his power at the country’s expense. His erratic, self-serving behavior has made him a controversial figure in American history. Trump clearly desires to be a…

Elon Musk as the new George Soros for Donald Trump
Only a few people who are well-read didn’t know the relationship of Joe Biden and George Soros, the most powerful multinational lobbyist. But since Biden’s (the most powerful man only in paper) departure from office, can Elon Musk be the new George Soros for Donald Trump? This article outlines the differences between those two lobbyists…

Will the US get back its political culture?
The United States once had a political culture where personal integrity and public trust were paramount. In past decades, even minor scandals could spell the end of a politician’s career, signaling a time when accountability mattered deeply to both the electorate and the political elite. Take, for instance, the case of President Richard Nixon. Though…
