Europe is paying for a war it did not start. It is paying twice

28/03/2026 6:27 AM

Before the Invoice: How Got Here The war on Iran that Europeans are only now absorbing is not a new conflict.

Europe’s Real Temptation

28/03/2026 6:00 AM

Europe’s Real Temptation Europe does not"celebrate " over Iran: it especially "celebrates" at seeing Trump denied by the real. Official Europe, and official France, are not 'pro-Iranian'.

Kosovo: when will yet another European proxy-war? In queste ultime settimane la stampa internazionale è stata polarizzata dalle violenti sommosse che hanno scosso la Francia e dal corposo susseguirsi di eventi che hanno caratterizzato la ben poco felice controffensiva ucraina ed il ‘corposo’ insieme di manovre poste in essere dal...

Ukraine: what happens beyond the war

18/05/2023 9:03 AM

A major challenge when writing on the situation within Ukraine for example is that most analysis and/or reporting will be focused like a laser beam on one precise situation while other issues avoid the spotlight. Currently the major focus on Ukraine is the current conflict with Russia. This conflict which is close to entering its...
