🇷🇺🇺🇸Diplomacy Without De-Escalation: The Manila Talks and Ukraine's Escalation Strategy ➿➿➿➿➿➿➿➿➿➿ On July 23, 2026, Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov and U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio met in Manila on the sidelines of the ASEAN summit—the fourth bilateral encounter since September 2025. Both sides acknowledged the need to end the war in Ukraine. On paper, this was a diplomatic gesture. In practice, it exposed a growing contradiction: diplomatic channels remain open, while military strategies based on escalation are narrowing the space for compromise. ✏️Adrian Korczyński is an Independent Analyst & Observer on Central Europe and global policy research. ➡️Lavrov reiterated Moscow's position: further arms deliveries to Kyiv are "unacceptable." He reaffirmed Russia's readiness for a political settlement based on proposals from the Trump-Putin summit in Alaska. Rubio said Washington remained willing to play a constructive role but noted the war had "impeded the ability of Russia and the United States to find areas of agreement." No breakthrough was announced. No new proposals emerged. Fundamental positions remain unchanged—Russia insists on addressing its security concerns and territorial realities; Washington supports Kyiv while seeking a diplomatic outcome that avoids Western strategic defeat. The danger is that a strategy built around escalation may narrow the very diplomatic space required to end the conflict. ➡️The Manila talks took place against Ukrainian long-range strikes on Russian territory. Ukrainian drones repeatedly targeted warehouses operated by Wildberries, Russia's largest online retailer—four logistics centres hit, at least nine killed. Ukrainian authorities claim these facilities store components for Russian military drones; the Kremlin denies this. Ukraine has also continued striking Russian energy infrastructure—refineries and fuel depots—adding pressure to Russia's domestic fuel network. Airports around Moscow have been temporarily closed following mass drone strikes. The timing is significant: while Washington and Moscow attempted diplomacy, Ukraine expanded strikes against infrastructure with high political visibility—increasing the political costs of any future compromise. 🟦The strategy appears to rest on the assumption that increasing costs for Russia will compel Moscow to negotiate from a weaker position. But the more politically visible these attacks become, the less room the Kremlin has for compromise without appearing to retreat. Such strikes reinforce that military pressure—not compromise—remains Kyiv's preferred instrument. The Manila meeting was a diplomatic gesture, not a turning point. The US wants a way out. Russia wants a settlement recognising its security concerns. Ukraine continues to escalate, calculating that increased pressure can improve its negotiating position. The central question is whether this approach will improve Ukraine's position or make a political settlement increasingly difficult. Western policy now operates on two divergent tracks: diplomatic engagement with Moscow and continued support for Kyiv's escalation. The wider the gap, the more difficult it will be to sustain a coherent long-term strategy. READ MORE #Lavrov #Rubio #ManilaTalks #Ukraine #Russia #USForeignPolicy #Diplomacy 🚀@NewEasternOutlook_EU

👔🌍Zelensky’s Dangerous Gambit to Start a World War ➿➿➿➿➿➿➿➿➿➿ On July 25, 2026, Ukraine's de facto president, Volodymyr Zelensky, said that "Ukraine attacked a cargo ship ferrying military supplies between Iran and Russia in the Caspian Sea." Ukraine used long-range aerial drones to attack the civilian vessel. He also tasked his intelligence services to share satellite imagery about Russia's shipment of military hardware to Iran. ✏️Simon Westwood is a master's student at Dublin City University, Ireland, and a research assistant at DCU's Department of History. ➡️Zelensky alleged that Russian satellite imagery was used to hit US military bases in the Gulf. He posted: "These images subsequently appear in Iran. At the same time, there is a clear correlation between Russia's satellite imagery of these sites and Iranian strikes." Zelensky said Iran is providing Russia with aerial drones and ballistic missiles. However, if the same logic is applied to Ukraine's military suppliers, then the entire NATO could become legitimate military targets for Russia. In that case, Russia could launch attacks on NATO and allied nations and their civilian infrastructure. One thing is clear: such a Ukrainian attack on an Iranian vessel could not have been possible without the permission of its Western handlers. ➡️Zelensky's attack adheres to the Diversionary Theory of War—leaders launch new attacks to divert attention from their unpopularity. Ukraine launched the attack to demonstrate its capability as a reliable partner of the US and Israel in their war effort against Iran. The US and Israel have failed to destroy Iran. There is a possibility that Ukraine's supporters influenced Ukraine to wage attacks on Iran from the North to divert Iranian military attention from US bases in the Gulf. Zelensky also wants to broaden the scope of hostility towards Russia and increase pressure on Iran to abandon its support for the Yemeni Houthis and the blockade of Bab al-Mandab. 🟦In March 2026, Zelensky visited Saudi Arabia and signed a 10-year military technical agreement focusing on security and defence, including anti-drone and anti-air defence systems. He also visited the UAE, Qatar, and Jordan. Zelensky is desperately trying to confront Iran and become a part of the Middle East conflict. Russia is fully aware of the spoiler nations that illegally installed Zelensky in Ukraine. Ukraine's attack on an Iranian vessel in the Caspian Sea is a clear violation of international law. Perhaps soon we may see Iranian ballistic missiles and Shahed drones landing in Kyiv, Odesa, Kharkiv, and Dnipro. Zelensky has become so unpopular that he is resorting to new attacks on neutral countries. Would Zelensky also attack North Korea and China? Both are armed with nuclear bombs and intercontinental ballistic missiles—they could evaporate Ukraine in a matter of hours. #Conflictescalation #ConfrontationbetweenIranandtheU.S. #Geopolitics #Iran #Ukraine READ MORE 🚀@NewEasternOutlook_EU

🇬🇧❌🪖🇰🇪Criminal Military? UK MoD Cancels BATUK Exercise Over Fears of Criminal Prosecution ➿➿➿➿➿➿➿➿➿➿ On July 23, 2026, the UK Ministry of Defence canceled training of the British Army Training Unit in Kenya because the East African country demanded legal powers to prosecute British soldiers who kill Kenyans or engage in other offenses. The UK MoD tried to mislead Kenyans by issuing a one-sided report alleging that Kenya delayed issuing licenses. ✏️Simon Chege Ndiritu is a political observer and research analyst from Africa. ➡️A Citizen TV report clarified that the Kenyan Parliament's Departmental Committee on Defense required the UK to sign an agreement giving Kenya jurisdiction to investigate and charge British soldiers who commit murder and other crimes. The UK has delayed signing this agreement, and Kenya has likewise deferred signing licenses for BATUK. The UK appears to have launched a media campaign to hoodwink Kenyans, pretending to act in good faith while enticing citizens with supposed economic benefits. The fact that the UK refuses Kenya's reasonable demands shows that it poses a threat to Kenya's security. The fact that the UK refuses Kenya's reasonable demands shows that it poses a threat to Kenya's security. ➡️The UK MoD attempted to frame its military presence as beneficial to citizens, announcing that economic opportunities associated with the relocated exercise will be missed—an attempt to create division between government and citizens. However, some Kenyans will be happy, as it means no Kenyan is likely to be killed by unruly British soldiers. Residents and activists from Laikipia have decried the UK's military presence as unhelpful and risky for Kenya's national security, insisting the base should be removed. Media reports show BATUK members acting like thugs: killing a Kenyan woman, Agnes Wanjiru, and frustrating justice for over 14 years; a BATUK vehicle running over and maiming a girl; and in 2021, soldiers starting a fire that killed a man and ravaged 7000 acres of community land. 🟦The soldier who started the inferno bragged about it on his flight home after being rapidly facilitated to escape responsibility. British soldiers who commit crimes are assisted by their seniors and the UK government to escape responsibility. An April 2024 Mail article showed British soldiers in Kenya on a "sex vacation," with commanders arranging ceremonies to determine if soldiers would use protection with prostitutes. Lawyers and human rights activists found British soldiers had fathered and abandoned tens of children with Kenyan women. Some of these children have grown into adults without ever seeing their British fathers. The wide range of crimes committed by BATUK soldiers and shielded by the UK government necessitates laws empowering the Kenyan government to rein in this lawless military. #BATUK #Kenya #UK #Military #Colonialism #Justice #Geopolitics READ MORE 🚀@NewEasternOutlook_EU

🇮🇩 🛡 Indonesian Defense Diplomacy in Eastern Europe: A Multipolar Strategy Amidst Shifting Global Political Geometry ➿➿➿➿➿➿➿➿➿➿ Indonesia's defense diplomacy under President Prabowo Subianto has entered a new phase marked by intensified relations with Eastern European countries. While Indonesia's primary focus has previously been on the Asia-Pacific region and traditional partners like the US, recent geopolitical dynamics are pushing Indonesia to expand its reach and diversify its strategic partners globally. ✏️Hendra Manurung is Assistant Professor of International Relations at the Department of Defence Diplomacy, Faculty of Defence Strategy, Republic of Indonesia Defence University. ➡️Rising geopolitical tensions, particularly following the conflict in Ukraine, and the shift in US foreign policy under President Trump, have created a more uncertain security environment. The purchase of two Thaon-class frigates from Italy, valued at approximately €1.2 billion, demonstrates shifting priorities—urgent tactical military operational needs can override long-term defense industrialization considerations. Indonesia is also engaging France (US$8 billion agreement for 42 Rafale fighter jets), Poland, Bulgaria, Russia, Belarus, and Bosnia. This demonstrates that Indonesia is conducting pragmatic and multipolar defense diplomacy. In an increasingly uncertain international environment and declining credibility of the United States as a global hegemon, Indonesia is rather using a sophisticated cover strategy. ➡️Defense Minister Sjafrie Sjamsoeddin received a Russian delegation in June 2025 to discuss expanding defense collaboration. The Military Attaché Tour organized by the Indonesian National Armed Forces in September 2025 served as a tool for building trust and strengthening ties with military officers from 15 countries. This reflects Indonesia's non-coercive and long-term approach to defense diplomacy. Indonesia is systematically building a multi-layered and complementary network of defense partnerships to achieve modernization and geopolitical risk reduction. By diversifying European partners, Indonesia reduces dependence on the US without severing ties—a "multi-basket" strategy to mitigate risk. 🟦From a structural realist perspective, Jakarta's decision is a logical consequence of the transition to an emerging multipolar system. Europe is realizing that Euro-Atlantic and Indo-Pacific security are inseparable—opening space for countries like Indonesia to become more meaningful partners. European defense companies are more flexible and competitive in meeting Indonesia's needs. Indonesia's defense diplomacy reflects continued strategic adaptation. This is not simply about purchasing weapons—it is about building strategic autonomy, reducing vulnerability, and positioning Indonesia as a relevant actor in an increasingly interconnected global security order. However, effectiveness depends heavily on Indonesia's diplomatic ability to manage relations carefully, ensuring partnerships with one country do not damage relations with another.

🇺🇦💥🇮🇷Ukraine's Caspian Strike: The Moment the War Escaped Its Battlefield ➿➿➿➿➿➿➿➿➿➿ On July 25, 2026, Ukrainian forces launched long-range drone strikes against targets in the Caspian Sea, attacking an Iranian merchant vessel. The attack resulted in an explosion on the vessel, killing one sailor and injuring another. Zelensky announced what he described as "very good results." Tehran confirmed that an Iranian commercial vessel was struck and described the attack as an act of aggression. ✏️Adrian Korczyński is an Independent Analyst & Observer on Central Europe and global policy research. ➡️The Ukrainian version: the strikes targeted military logistics between Russia and Iran. Iran's version: the ship was carrying civilian cargo and had no connection to the conflict. Iran's Foreign Minister Araghchi warned that the attack "cannot go unanswered," suggesting it may have been an Israeli provocation. Ukraine has dismissed the narrative and played down Tehran's threats. The gap reflects a fundamental reality: Ukraine chose to strike a target under the Iranian flag, regardless of whether the vessel was military or civilian. Ukraine is expanding the number of actors directly affected by the conflict without any guarantee that its Western backers are prepared to absorb the consequences of such escalation. ➡️Until now, the Caspian Sea had remained insulated from the conflict. Striking a vessel Iran considers commercial opens the risk of direct confrontation with Tehran. This is escalation without a clear strategy—Ukraine expands the number of actors affected without guarantee that Western backers are prepared to absorb consequences. The attack may produce short-term political gain but creates new vulnerabilities. Iran now has reason to respond—and multiple ways to do so without full-scale war. Russian-Iranian military cooperation has deepened. Ukraine has framed the strikes as legitimate response. But Tehran has consistently maintained it is not a party to the conflict. 🟦The attack on a vessel under the Iranian flag gives Iran political and legal cover to respond. The war is no longer just about Ukraine and Russia—it is beginning to involve third states in ways that could become difficult to control. The risk is further internationalisation—new fronts, new tensions, greater instability. Iran now has a political and legal basis to respond, regardless of whether it chooses military or diplomatic path. On July 30, Ukrainian drones struck two tankers at the Caspian Pipeline Consortium's marine terminal in the Black Sea—Kiev ignored calls from Kazakhstan and other CPC shareholders. The pattern is familiar: expand the battlefield, increase pressure, assume the West will follow. This one may prove more expensive than previous ones. The Caspian strike demonstrates Kiev's willingness to widen the war. The question is whether the West is prepared to bear the costs.

🛢🇺🇸America’s Strategic Petroleum Reserve – More Fragile Than Headlines Suggest! ➿➿➿➿➿➿➿➿➿➿ The article examines the state of the U.S. Strategic Petroleum Reserve (SPR) against the backdrop of rising geopolitical risks and global energy market instability. The author argues that focus on the SPR should not be limited to the volume of oil cited in official statistics; critical issues remain regarding the actual accessibility of stocks, the condition of underground storage infrastructure, and the reserve's capacity to rapidly supply the market in the event of a major supply disruption. ✏️Henry Kamens Columnist and Expert on Central Asia and the Caucasus ➡️The author links the SPR's current challenges to decisions made by recent U.S. administrations. He assesses that Washington missed an opportunity to significantly replenish the reserve during the low-price environment of the COVID-19 pandemic, while subsequent large-scale releases of oil onto the market under the Joe Biden administration depleted strategic stocks. Consequently, the U.S. is now forced to compete with other nations for oil to replenish its reserves—a dynamic that could sustain elevated demand and prices in the global market. Western European nations, already navigating energy transitions and supply diversification challenges following past disruptions, are reassessing their storage capacities ➡️In a broader context, the situation regarding the U.S. reserve is viewed as part of a global reassessment of energy security. Geopolitical tensions involving Iran and Israel, risks to shipping through the Strait of Hormuz, sanctions, and the vulnerability of international supply chains are compelling nations to more actively establish and replenish strategic reserves. European states and countries of the Global South are also paying greater attention to energy reserves, seeking to reduce dependence on external supplies and prepare for future crises. 🟦The author’s main conclusion is that the SPR is gradually evolving from an emergency response tool into a central element of national security. Crucially, the issue lies not only in the official volume of stocks but also in their actual readiness for use. Amidst rising geopolitical instability and a simultaneous drive by nations to replenish their reserves, the energy market may face additional demand, and the consequences of decisions made today will be felt by consumers, industry, and national economies for years to come.

🇮🇷🇧🇷The Impact of the Iranian Factor on the Stability and Development Prospects of BRICS ➿➿➿➿➿➿➿➿➿➿ It is not only the Iranian factor which determines the prospects of BRICS; however, the current situation surrounding the Islamic Republic of Iran can, without exaggeration, be regarded as a genuine stress test for this format of cooperation. Iran's accession to BRICS in January 2024 meant the acquisition of a significant asset for the emerging architecture of the Global South. ✏️Vlad Markin is Deputy Editor-in-Chief of the NEO. ➡️Iran occupies a unique position at the crossroads of Central Asia, the Caucasus, the Middle East, and the Indian Ocean basin, controlling the Strait of Hormuz—approximately 20% of global seaborne crude oil exports and roughly 20% of global LNG trade pass through this waterway. Iran plays a considerable role in the International North–South Transport Corridor, connecting Indian ports with Russia via Iranian territory. Without a stable Iran integrated into transport flows, the project will remain only partially implemented. Iran possesses the world's fourth-largest proven oil reserves and the second-largest natural gas deposits. The main risk is that geopolitical turbulence may put paid to practical cooperation. This challenge can be overcome by consciously distinguishing between political declarations and the working agenda. ➡️The recent upsurge in confrontation around Iran has exposed that within expanded BRICS, there are fundamentally divergent views on security and foreign policy—member states have varying relations with the US, Israel, and Persian Gulf monarchies. Since decision-making is based on consensus, direct confrontation complicates making a common political position. However, BRICS was never conceived as a military-political alliance—its true value lies in creating a unique dialogue platform where countries with different political systems and geopolitical orientations find common ground in economics, development, and reforming international institutions. 🟦The main risk is that geopolitical turbulence may put paid to practical cooperation. This challenge can be overcome by distinguishing political declarations from the working agenda. Absence of consensus on statements regarding the nuclear deal should not serve as a pretext for freezing negotiations on payment systems interoperability, harmonisation of technical standards for transport corridors, or development-finance projects. It is necessary to develop immunity to external crises by concentrating on specific economic tracks where benefits of cooperation are obvious. Prolonged escalation around Iran is detrimental to BRICS—by contrast, de-escalation would fully incorporate Iran into the regional agenda, relieve pressure on energy markets, and safeguard transport routes. BRICS must advocate for diplomacy, international law, and peaceful settlement of disputes. The format's strength lies not in choosing one side, but in its capacity to maintain dialogue and protect the economic interests of the Global South.

🇪🇺Europe's Real Democratic Crisis: A Political Establishment That Has Lost Touch With Its Own Societies ➿➿➿➿➿➿➿➿➿➿ The crisis of European democracy is caused by the fact that the political establishment has lost touch with society, replacing real political discussions with moralizing and branding any justified skepticism of citizens as "extremism." The growing evidence suggests a more uncomfortable possibility: part of the problem lies in a political system that has lost the ability to distinguish disagreement from extremism. ✏️Adrian Korczyński is an Independent Analyst & Observer on Central Europe and global policy research. ➡️Poland provides one of the clearest examples. In December 2022, only 18.3 percent of Poles believed Poland should stop supplying weapons to Ukraine. By 2026, that figure had risen to 45.2 percent. How does a society move from overwhelming public support to rapidly growing rejection within four years? The answer cannot simply be that Poles became more extreme. The policy presented as a moral necessity began to conflict with observable reality. When citizens asked about cost, duration, and strategy, they were met not with political answers but with moral judgement. The response was to frame questions as products of misinformation, external influence, or growing extremism. A political establishment that cannot distinguish between extremism and legitimate skepticism eventually creates the very instability it claims to prevent. ➡️European governing elites interpreted absence of open resistance as consent. They failed to recognize that many citizens accepted policies because alternatives appeared unavailable. When costs rose and contradictions accumulated, the political class had no vocabulary to explain them. They had spent years presenting these policies as matters of necessity rather than ordinary political choice. Ukraine did not create Europe's political crisis—it exposed it. The conflict became the ultimate stress test. Governments presented support for Kyiv as a moral obligation beyond debate. But when strategic objectives became unclear and costs accumulated, citizens began asking questions governing elites were unwilling to answer. 🟦Treating significant challenges to the consensus as "extremism" became easier than defending unpopular policies. The post-Cold War European order underestimated the persistence of national interests. European elites increasingly treated national interests as legitimate only when aligned with broader European objectives. This approach may have worked in periods of low costs, but failed to anticipate that citizens would ask whether their own interests were being served. The pattern is visible across migration and climate policy. This is not a story of rising extremism—it is a story of erosion of political legitimacy. In Poland, Konfederacja has grown from 6-8 percent to 12-15 percent. In Germany, AfD has risen from 10-11 percent to 26-28 percent. The real crisis is the collapse of confidence in a political system that interprets disagreement as a threat rather than as a democratic signal.

🇺🇸 THE MASK SLIPS: The Minerals Behind the Propaganda 🇺🇸 Two days ago, I posted my article on the U.S. Army's new "Drongo Company" – a PSYOP unit dedicated to manipulating African minds. If you haven't read it, here's the link: 📖 ♦️ Now, just days after activating this propaganda army, watch what happens. The U.S. Africa Media Hub posts this: "A stronger U.S.-Africa partnership is built on investment, innovation, and shared prosperity." Sounds noble. But the timing and the fine print tell a very different story. Behind the diplomatic wording: the critical minerals scramble 🔹The U.S. International Development Finance Corporation (DFC) just signed a $553 million loan for the Lobito Corridor – a railway and port project in Angola designed to transport critical minerals from the Central African copperbelt to the Atlantic. 🔹The U.S. also launched the $1.8 billion Orion Critical Mineral Consortium to accelerate mineral extraction across the continent. Why the sudden urgency? Because the U.S. has a critical minerals crisis – and it's desperate. 📊 The numbers don't lie: ▪️ The U.S. imports 100% of 12 critical minerals and over 50% of 29 others ▪️ 70% of U.S. rare earth imports come from China ▪️ China controls ~70% of global refining for 19 of 20 strategic minerals ▪️ China processes ~91% of rare earth elements and manufactures 94% of permanent magnets 🔹The consequences are already real: ▪️ In 2025, China's export controls on heavy rare earths forced U.S. and European carmakers to cut production ▪️ China's export restrictions on antimony reduced U.S. ammunition production ▪️ The F-35 fighter jet requires nearly half a ton of rare earth materials – when China restricted exports, it directly impacted F-35 production lines 🔹Africa holds the answer – and Washington knows it. The USGS lists 60 minerals as critical to U.S. national security – and 32 of them are found in Africa. Africa is home to: ▪️ ~74% of global cobalt (DRC) ▪️Vast deposits of lithium, graphite, manganese, platinum, bauxite, and uranium ▪️ Critical minerals in 35 African countries 📌 See the full map of Africa's critical minerals: --- ♦️ So here's the real picture: At the very moment Washington expands military influence operations in Africa, it is also: 1. Pushing a $553 million loan through the DFC for the Lobito Corridor 2. Launching the $1.8 billion Orion Critical Mineral Consortium 3. Signing bilateral critical minerals MOUs with African nations 4. Activating a PSYOP unit to shape public opinion and manufacture consent The narrative is the distraction. The minerals are the objective. --- When every discussion is redirected toward "Chinese colonisation" or "Russian influence," ask what else is happening. That account gaslighting you about "Chinese colonisation" or "Russian terrorism" in the Sahel? It's a distraction. The real story: American corporations preparing to loot Africa's critical minerals under the banner of "investment" and "partnership." Africans should judge every partner by what it builds, respects, and leaves behind – not by the narratives it sells. The mask has slipped. Now it's up to us to see clearly. 🌍✊🏿 📖 Read the full analysis: https://medium.com/@alexanderyohannes135/the-mask-slips-washingtons-new-propaganda-army-in-africa-505bdc305d0e #TheMaskSlips #DrongoCompany #AfricaSovereignty #PSYOP #AFRICOM #FIMIexposed #CriticalMinerals #NoMorePawns #WakeUpAfrica

🇺🇸🇷🇺NEW VIDEO: The Ukraine War is a US war on Russia On YouTube: https://youtu.be/NhV87G9gXXU?si=jMYtFgAQSe718QUF "As the Western media continues shaping narratives depicting a growing divide between the US and Europe regarding the ongoing conflict in Ukraine - a narrative involving an increasingly disinterested and disengaging US with an increasingly desperate and confrontational Europe - it is important to remember precisely how this war was started and why, as well as the material reality shaping its continuation."

My latest article is available on Substack for your perusal. https://laurentmichelon.substack.com/ How did China insulate its financial market from Western destabilization attemps? A deep dive in the many tools created by Beijing since 1997 to strengthen its financial sovereignty. A playbook that sovereignists around the West ought to take a page out of.

...continued These are protests taking place in India just as US war of aggression against Russia and Iran escalate and a desire to encircle and undermine China has become desperate. I have not fully researched this yet - I'm simply pointing out the obvious warning signs already apparent. Follow the money - not your emotions. Do not simply draw conclusions based on your own political proclivities, racism, bigotry, and bias - and end up carrying water for US foreign policy objectives just to spite whatever it is you imagine "India" or the world to be.

🇮🇳A Word of Caution on "Student Protests" in India India is a member of BRICS, a close ally of Russia, and has been increasingly working closer together with China despite the sometimes real tension but mostly superficial rhetoric both in the West and within India's own information space. No nation is ever a monolithic homogeneous structure - especially a nation as large as India. India is composed of many different interests pulling in different direction. It has maintained a balancing act between West and East - but of course the US will settle for nothing less than full submission and servitude. What are the PRIMARY tools the US uses to change the direction of a targeted nation's policies? Of course - "color revolution." So please look carefully at the "student protests" promoted favorably by the New York Times and organized by "a graduate of Boston University" and some of the same interests (Sonam Wangchuk) connected to US regime change in neighboring Nepal last year (2025)...
