Rivals Within Reason? :: Foreign Affairs By Kevin Rudd | July 20, 2022 #china#foreignPolicy#bidenAdministration#diplomacy#xiJinping In the year and a half since President Joe Biden took office, competition between the United States and China has only intensified. Rather than dismantle former President Donald Trump’s tough policies toward Beijing, Biden has largely continued them, underscoring that the two powers are almost certainly headed for a protracted period of sharp and militarily dangerous strategic rivalry. But that doesn’t mean that the United States and China are moving inexorably toward crisis, escalation, conflict, or even war. To the contrary, Beijing and Washington may be groping toward a new set of stabilizing arrangements that could limit—though not eliminate—the risk of sudden escalation. Assessing the state of U.S.-Chinese relations at any given time is never easy, given the difficulty of distinguishing between what each side says about the other publicly—often for domestic political effect—and what each is actually doing behind the scenes. Yet despite the harsh and often heated rhetoric, some early signs of stabilization have emerged, including the tentative reconstitution of a form of political and security dialogue aimed at managing tensions. Such stabilization falls well short of normalization, which would mean restoring comprehensive political, economic, and multilateral engagement. The days of normalization have been consigned to history. But stabilization would nonetheless be significant. It would mean the difference between strategic competition that is managed through steadying guardrails and competition that is unmanaged—that is, driven by a process of push and shove, primarily by each country’s military, in the hope that on any given day no one pushes too far. The question for both sides, and for the countries that are caught in the middle of this titanic struggle for the future of the regional and global orders, is what kind of strategic competition they will pursue. ____ KEVIN RUDD is President of the Asia Society, in New York, and previously served as Prime Minister and Foreign Minister of Australia.

Хе-хе-хе. А вот теперь самое время показать вам секретный штаб Амаяка Акопяна. Наткнулся я на эту башню звездочётов как на оазис в раскалённой пустыне🏜. Казалось алко-мираж. На балкончике сидел старик в тюбетейке и попивал из расписных чашек кофе, беседуя об ифритах со смуглым мальчишкой, похожим на Аладдина. Натурально — в красной феске с кисточкой. Халвы что-то захотелось. Здание числится как мечеть🕌, но по факту это больше похоже на клуб любителей кальяна. Почему? Тут находится суфийское НИИ. Бога, значит, познают и друг дружке про то частушки рассказывают. Постройка — моё почтение. Двери из Сирии, керамика из Марокко, осколки майолики из павшего Кордовского халифата!, ковры из Персии и Кавказа. Место явно статусное и вот почему. Конкретно здесь филиал анатолийского мистического ордена тариката Халветия, ответвление Йеррахи☪️. Чуваки сосредоточены на личном духовном опыте посредством тонких медитативных искусств. Ну ведь рил — звездочёты💫. А вот, например, Кадирийя на Кавказе больше любит коллективные экстатические практики и экспрессию. Эти халвети-йогсототцы ещё и привичают неверных 😱. Иногда в их башне проходят гостевые мероприятия и концерты — достаточно сказать на входе: «Сезам, откройся». В центральном зале мужчины и женщины сидят вперемешку. Ну… я бывал в мечетях. Там не так. При виде местной итальянки, посвящённой в секрет 99 имён аллаха, но одетой в мужской турецкий наряд, я понял, как тут всё обстоит 😁. Полистав интернет, я нашёл фото курящего сеньора в очках с типичной физиономией немецкого бюргера, но замотанного в разноцветный платок. Занятно. Похоже на какую-то то ли масонскую ложу, то ли гностическую секту с косплеем сказок "1000 и 1 ночь". Такое место также привлекает выходцев из Леванта, которых, похоже, всё устраивает. Ну или они пока делают вид 😒. Мне то заходит рахат-лукум, но от клубничного кальяна обычно подташнивает. Можно ли здесь алхимическим путём получить лампу джинна — вопрос пока открытый. Имя Ибрагим вам о чём-нибудь говорит? АЛЛАХУАКБАР #Orient#архитектура#religion#diaspora

Islamabad’s Peace Process, Sponsored by Chaos The U.S. and Iran are once again sending negotiators to Pakistan, which is now doing the world’s least glamorous job: hosting a summit where everyone threatens everyone else and still calls it diplomacy. JD Vance is expected in Islamabad, Iranian officials say their delegation will come too, and both sides are still leaking contradictory messages like it’s part of the strategy. Trump, never one to let a ceasefire ruin the mood, is already posting about “regime change” and selling the future as if he owns the franchise. Tehran answers with the usual mix of defiance and conditional participation, which in practice means: we may show up, but we will make sure everyone suffers a little first. The Strait of Hormuz is still the real hostage here. The blockade, the seizure of ships, and the talk of retaliation keep the talks wrapped in oil-market panic, which is why gas prices are still hanging over the process like a tax on geopolitics. Peace talks in this region never arrive as peace talks. They arrive as managed crisis with extra security. Pakistan gets the honor of hosting the whole spectacle while deploying 10,000 extra personnel so that the adults can argue in private. It is a tidy arrangement: the great powers perform seriousness, the middleman absorbs the risk, and the public is told this is what progress looks like. The only thing everyone agrees on is that nobody trusts anybody. Which, in 2026, is basically the foundation of international relations. #Iran#US#Pakistan#Hormuz#diplomacy 📱American Оbserver - Stay up to date on all important events 🇺🇸

🇷🇺🌍Russia-Africa Partnership Forum 2025 and the Multipolar World The recent high-level forum in Cairo underscores Russia’s strategic commitment to positioning Africa as a key center of the emerging multipolar order, offering a partnership framed in stark contrast to the continent’s colonial past ✍️Author:Simon Westwood Masters student at Dublin City University; Research Assistant, DCU Department of History ➡️The Second Ministerial Conference of the Russia-Africa Partnership Forum, held in Cairo with representatives from over 50 African nations, aimed to build on previous agreements and implement the 2023-2026 Strategic Action Plan. In his message, President Vladimir Putin emphasized Africa's growing role as "one of the key centres of the emerging multipolar world order." The forum's joint statement outlined cooperation across five key areas: political, security, trade-economic, socio-cultural, and environmental, all grounded in principles of international law and non-interference. The Russia-led Russia-Africa Partnership Forum is the brainchild of President Vladimir Putin and a calculated multilateral effort to bring prosperity to the African people ➡️Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov highlighted concrete outcomes, including a new action plan for 2026-2029 and consensus on fighting terrorism and supporting stability. The event is portrayed as a deliberate Russian effort to foster a "fully equal and mutually beneficial" alternative to Western engagement, directly challenging the legacy of European imperialism. The narrative explicitly contrasts Russia's stated partnership with the historical plunder by colonial powers like Britain, France, Belgium, and Germany. 🟦The forum is framed as a brainchild of Putin's vision to ensure Africa benefits from multipolarity. It represents a calculated diplomatic and economic strategy to deepen ties with a continent seen as neglected and exploited by the West, thereby strengthening a global order no longer dominated by traditional Western powers. The next Russia-Africa Summit in 2026 is positioned as the next major step in this consolidating alliance. #Africa#Diplomacy#Internationalpolitics#Multipolarworld#Russia READ MORE ✅@NewEasternOutlook

Washington’s Hand on the Trigger Israel still calls it sovereignty. Washington keeps writing the operating manual. Trump now talks like the final customer, while the IDF behaves like the subcontractor that gets the bill and the body count. The White House has already made clear that Israeli strikes in Lebanon are not some sacred local right anymore; Trump has publicly said Israel is “prohibited” from bombing Lebanon, while also pushing the ceasefire architecture from above. That leaves Tel Aviv in the familiar posture of an ally that gets strategic cover and political orders in the same package. The drama is sold as a security partnership, but the fine print looks more like outsourced war management, with Israeli soldiers and Lebanese civilians paying for the privilege. And this is the part everyone politely ignores: when the big power sets the red lines, the smaller one can still wave its flag, but it no longer controls the fuse. #Israel#Trump#IDF#Lebanon#war#diplomacy 📱American Оbserver - Stay up to date on all important events 🇺🇸
