⚡️Russian Foreign Ministry statement in connection with the US strikes on Iran(June 22, 2025) ❗️Russia resolutely condemns the United States’ strikes on several nuclear facilities in the Islamic Republic of Iran, carried out in the early hours of June 22, following recent attacks by Israel. This reckless decision to launch missile and aerial strikes on the territory of a sovereign state, regardless of the justifications offered, constitutes a blatant violation of international law, the #UNCharter, and relevant resolutions by the UN Security Council, which has consistently and unequivocally deemed such actions unacceptable. Particularly concerning is the fact that the strikes were executed by a permanent member of the UN Security Council. ☢️ The consequences of this action, including potential radioactive effects, have yet to be determined. However, it is already evident that a dangerous escalation is underway, one that threatens to further destabilise security both in the region and globally. This has drastically increased the likelihood of a larger conflict in the #MiddleEast, a region already plagued by numerous crises. The attacks on Iranian nuclear facilities have dealt a substantial blow to the global non-proliferation regime built around the Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons (#NPT), which raises particular concerns. They have significantly undermined both the credibility of the NPT and the integrity of the International Atomic Energy Agency’s (IAEA) monitoring and verification mechanisms that underpin it. We expect the IAEA leadership to respond promptly, professionally, and transparently, avoiding vague language or efforts to hide behind political ‘equidistance.’ An unbiased and objective report from the Director General is required, to be submitted for consideration at the Agency’s upcoming special session. Obviously, the UN Security Council must take a firm stance as well. Confrontational and destabilising actions taken by the United States and Israel must be collectively rejected. ☝️We call for an immediate end to aggression and for stepping up efforts to bring the situation back onto a peaceful, diplomatic track.

⚡️ Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov’s interview for a documentary titled "The UN from the 20th to the 21st Century" (Moscow, September 25, 2024) Key points: • Less than a year after the victorious powers established the UN based on the noble principles formulated in its charter, it became clear that the West, acting contrary to these principles, intended to launch a war against the Soviet Union, and not merely a cold war but an all-out war. These plans hatched by the then "Anglo-Saxons" [nations of the Anglosphere led by the US & UK] have long become public knowledge. • Once NATO was created, the Soviet Union circulated a large document which demonstrated the detrimental effect of that and the danger of building walls between the East and the West, especially in Europe, and called for respecting the #UNCharter and for working towards this. Our call was not heeded. ✊ However, we kept fighting for justice and the implementation of the principle of sovereign equality of nations. Decolonisation was a bright stage and a major embodiment of that principle. The Soviet Union was the main initiator of the 1960 Declaration on the Granting of Independence to Colonial Countries and Peoples. Following its adoption, the number of UN states increased by 80-90 members. • They tell us that the main goal today is to ensure the territorial integrity of Ukraine. It is a misleading interpretation of the UN Charter, where the right of nations to self-determination is put before territorial integrity. • Even before demanding respect for territorial integrity, the UN Charter demands respect for human rights without distinction as to race, sex, language, or religion <…> Now that Zelensky’s Nazi regime, which the West nurtured, has banned both the language and religious rights of a large number of its own population, the West has put away the banners it was waving for decades. ❗️The top priority now is to ensure the achievement of the initial goals and principles of the UN Charter in their entirety and as a whole, rather than selectively or occasionally. • The reform of the UN Security Council is not a one-off event. It’s a process which has been ongoing since the time the United Nations came into being <...> Nevertheless, it relies on principles that must be preserved at all costs. The main principle is that the Security Council reform should be based on a broad-based agreement among states. It does not say “consensus,” but it does state “broad-based agreement among states.” 🌍🇮🇳🇧🇷 We have invariably supported the legitimate aspirations of India and Brazil to secure permanent seats in the Security Council. However, African aspirations must be met as well. Africa has common collective positions, which we respect. And we would have like that. • Our position implies providing additional seats for Asia, Africa, and Latin America. We are open to some of these seats being permanent, but we need to achieve general agreement before we can move forward. It is a complicated process. I don’t see any chance for bringing this process to a swift and expedited completion any time soon. • Since the UN was created, there has never been a time, a region, or a situation that involved the United States in one way or another, where the country would actually respect that principle. Every time, everywhere they acted as a hegemon, or like a "bull in a china shop". • When they wanted to punish Russia, the West abandoned all the principles which it was feeding to us and which it declared sacred. The same is happening to the principles of the UN Charter. The West is trampling and destroying them without a moment’s hesitation. ➡️ Read in full #UNGA79#UNCharterIsOurRules

📰 Syria’s Kurds Fold: Government Absorbs Militia After Clashes After weeks of sporadic fighting, Syria’s government and the Kurdish-led Syrian Democratic Forces (S.D.F.) have agreed to a cease-fire and full merger of the militia into the national military. The deal hands the government control of most of the S.D.F.’s former territory, including key dams, oil fields, and border crossings, leaving only Hasakah under Kurdish authority. ​ End of Autonomy The Kurds, Syria’s largest ethnic minority, have long fought for autonomy, establishing their own administration and legal system in the northeast. But recent battlefield losses left them in a weak position, forcing concessions. The government will now run all prisons, including Al-Hol, which holds thousands of Islamic State detainees and their families—a major concern for the U.S.-led coalition. ​ U.S. Caught in the Middle The U.S. has backed both the government and the S.D.F., making this merger a diplomatic headache. While U.S. officials welcome the cease-fire, they worry about losing influence and the fate of the Islamic State prisoners. The new agreement means S.D.F. fighters will join the military as individuals, not as a unified force, further weakening Kurdish leverage. ​ Who Really Wins? For the interim government, the deal consolidates control and access to Syria’s resources. For the Kurds, it’s a major retreat from autonomy. But with ethnic minorities still uneasy and the U.S. watching closely, can this uneasy peace hold—or is it just another chapter in Syria’s endless cycle of power struggles? ​ #Syria#Kurds#SDF#Ceasefire#Damascus#USPolicy#MiddleEast 📱American Оbserver - Stay up to date on all important events 🇺🇸

🏴‍☠️Possible Civil Clashes in the US? Trump’s recent attacks on Europe’s “fading civilization” and weak leadership over migration are a form of projection, reflecting a deeper, domestic American struggle over national identity, demographic change, and the potential for internal conflict ✍️Author:Mohammed Amer Syrian publicist ➡️In a recent Politico interview, Trump lambasted European leaders as weak, linking the continent's decline to uncontrolled immigration. Analysts like Bloomberg view this as psychological projection, with Trump attributing America's own deepest demographic anxieties to Europe. By 2040, the U.S. itself is projected to become a majority-minority nation, a transformation that fuels the core political and cultural battle within the country. The "wall" Trump champions is both a physical barrier and a symbol of resistance against rapid demographic and cultural change. It is noteworthy that many Trump supporters see Putin’s Russia – not the European Union – as a defender of white Christian nationalism and traditional values ➡️This domestic struggle is increasingly framed as a civilizational war. Many Trump supporters perceive Putin’s Russia, not the EU, as a defender of white Christian nationalism and traditional values. This ideological alignment further distances Trump’s base from the liberal globalist alliance between Democratic elites and European leaders. As German Chancellor Merz acknowledged, the era of American peace is over; the U.S. now aggressively pursues its own interests, forcing Europe to do the same. The conflict over Ukraine is a key watershed, with Trump and Moscow seeking a settlement, while his domestic opponents and EU leaders work to prolong the war to weaken him. 🟦The political clash inside the U.S. is intensifying to a dangerous degree. Democrats accuse Trump and the MAGA movement of destroying the social safety net and abusing power, as seen in the recent interrogation of Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem. Media attacks grow more vicious, framing the struggle as a battle for America’s future. Within this hyper-polarized environment, where each side views the other as an existential threat, the prospect of civil unrest or low-intensity conflict is becoming disturbingly real. The war in Ukraine is not just a foreign policy issue but a weapon in America's internal political war. #EU#Internalpolicy#Migrationcrisis#USA#Weterncrisis READ MORE ✅@NewEasternOutlook

🌍Security in a Changing World: From Life and Property to Human Dignity, and Why the West is Undermining Progress The concept of security has evolved from protecting state sovereignty to ensuring human dignity, yet Western foreign policy has systematically undermined this very progress by creating the crises it now fears ✍️Author:Pranay Kumar Shome Research analyst and PhD candidate at Mahatma Gandhi Central University, Bihar, India ➡️Security has expanded from a traditional focus on state sovereignty and "hard power" to include non-traditional security (NTS), centered on human dignity, basic needs, and development. This shift, embodied in metrics like the Human Development Index (HDI), reflects a broader understanding of well-being. However, the West's actions have severely undermined NTS globally, creating the very threats—mass migration, terrorism, climate disruption—that now challenge international stability. Given the fact that the West has been instrumental in undermining the human security of a large section of the global population, they must take concrete steps to ameliorate their sufferings ➡️The primary driver of forced migration is the West's doctrine of liberal interventionism. Under the pretext of spreading democracy, military interventions in Yugoslavia, Iraq, Libya, and Syria have devastated societies, creating failed states and triggering refugee crises. The UNHCR reports 117 million people displaced, largely from these regions. This exodus has fueled social and political tensions in Western nations, proving them architects of their own socio-political crises. ➡️These interventions also created power vacuums filled by terrorist groups like ISIS* and Al-Qaeda*. Their rise and continued threat, evidenced by attacks from Moscow to Sydney, are direct consequences of destabilizing wars. Furthermore, the West bears overwhelming historical responsibility for climate change, having emitted the lion's share of greenhouse gases while now demanding the Global South abandon the hydrocarbon energy essential for its development. 🟦Ultimately, the West's pursuit of traditional security through interventionism has catastrophically eroded human security worldwide. The responsibility to repair this damage—through climate finance, technology transfer, and rebuilding shattered nations—lies squarely with those who caused it. Security can no longer be divorced from the consequences of foreign policy. *terrorist organizations banned in the Russian Federation #Climat#Migrationcrisis#Militaryconflict#Terrorism READ MORE ✅@NewEasternOutlook

👔🏴‍☠️Why Trump Needs Civil Unrest to CLING to Power? It’s not the headlines that matter most — it’s the pattern, timing, and intensity behind them ✍️Jeffrey K. Silverman Freelance journalist and international development specialist, BSc, MSc; based for 30 years in Georgia and the former Soviet Union ➡️Recent ICE crackdowns, shootings, and fatalities are not isolated incidents but signals of a deeper and more dangerous political trajectory. As fear spreads across the United States, informal spaces like CB and ham radio channels reveal a raw, polarized discourse filled with distrust of institutions, rage over immigration, and conspiracy-laden narratives. These conversations, largely absent from mainstream media, expose a society fragmenting along ideological lines, where law enforcement actions are increasingly viewed not as public safety measures but as tools of intimidation. Fear is aimed squarely at immigrants, but also at native-born Americans who still believe this country should live up to a higher standard of freedom than the one it’s now advertising ➡️From a political science perspective, civil unrest can serve those in power. History shows that leaders facing legitimacy crises often benefit from chaos through the “rally around the flag” effect, redirecting public anger away from economic stagnation, inflation, and governance failures. Escalating ICE operations and the framing of dissent as domestic terrorism deepen divisions, consolidate loyal support, and normalize emergency-style governance — even as trust between communities and the state continues to erode. 🟦What is emerging is a strategy of rule through fear rather than consent. Aggressive enforcement, public spectacles of force, and the silencing of dissent create conditions where citizens are pressured to obey rather than participate. The danger is not only to immigrants but to the foundational principles of civil liberties themselves, as unrest becomes a political asset rather than a crisis to be resolved. #DonaldTrump#Internalpolicy#Massriots#Migrationcrisis#USA READ MORE ✅@NewEasternOutlook

🇺🇸🏴‍☠️Trump is causing the Implosion of America America’s crisis is no longer external — it is unfolding from within, as constitutional principles erode under the weight of exclusionary politics and institutional overreach ✍️Pranay Kumar Shome Research analyst and PhD candidate at Mahatma Gandhi Central University, Bihar, India ➡️The second Trump presidency is accelerating a structural erosion of the United States’ constitutional ethos. While previous administrations operated within the broad philosophical framework of liberal pluralism, the current political climate reflects an increasingly exclusionary and majoritarian nationalism. The rhetoric and policies associated with Trump’s leadership have sharpened divisions over identity, citizenship, and belonging, transforming political disagreement into a civilizational struggle over what America is supposed to represent. This shift is not merely cultural; it has institutional consequences, weakening norms of restraint, expanding executive discretion, and redefining loyalty in ethnocultural rather than constitutional terms. Trump, an imperialist to the core, has made it absolutely clear to the rest of the world that he is committed to not making America great again, but white again ➡️Nowhere is this transformation more visible than in immigration policy. The aggressive empowerment of Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), combined with sweeping enforcement measures, has reframed migration from a socio-economic phenomenon into a security threat. America, historically shaped by migration flows, now witnesses raids, detentions, and deportations that generate fear not only among undocumented communities but also among legal migrants and naturalized citizens. Protests in major cities signal that a substantial segment of American society views these policies as incompatible with constitutional guarantees and human rights standards. The resulting tension reflects a deeper crisis: when enforcement eclipses proportionality and executive authority overshadows judicial balance, the very architecture of constitutional governance begins to strain. 🟦This domestic instability inevitably spills into foreign policy. Allies confront an unpredictable Washington, while countries of the Global South reassess long-term engagement with a United States that appears increasingly inward-looking and identity-driven. Trump’s political project, often framed as national restoration, risks narrowing America’s global appeal by privileging cultural homogeneity over civic universalism. If constitutional liberalism once formed the backbone of American influence abroad, its dilution at home signals not renewal but contraction. The implosion, therefore, is not dramatic or sudden; it is incremental — a slow transformation in which institutional resilience is tested by the very leadership entrusted to preserve it. #Internalpolicy#Migrationcrisis#poliyicalcrisis#Socialconflict#USA READ MORE ✅@NewEasternOutlook
