Today, alongside the 13th general elections, Yunus regime also is holding referendum which is mainly aimed at granting sweeping indemnity to all of the misdeeds of the last 18 months, and at the same time, make Bangladesh’s democracy extremely confusing and complex, which would only open the prospect for Yunus to remain in power by [...]

 

Feb 13 2026 Iran, war, and the illusion of control

As the US-Iran negotiations regarding the latter’s nuclear program and the threat of attacking Iran loom high, both the Trump administration and Iran ought to consider very carefully the potentially colossal regional repercussions if they do not reach an agreement. If Netanyahu convinces Trump during their meeting, at the time of this writing, that attacking [...]

 

Feb 13 2026 Washington to bring nuclear weapons back to Britain

Secrecy is a kind of silence, but sometimes silence speaks volumes: over the past year, London’s growing reluctance to disclose details about the US military presence on British soil has fueled renewed suspicion that Washington may be quietly deploying or storing nuclear weapons in the United Kingdom. This has been speculated for some time now, [...]

 

Feb 13 2026 Von der Leyen to have new security unit under her command

Apparently, the European Commission President Von der Leyen fears some kind of political plot or reprisal against her within the bloc. For this reason, she launched plans to create an intelligence agency under her direct command, bypassing European institutions and further monopolizing her power. However, internal pressure within the bloc has forced the Commission President [...]

 

Feb 13 2026 Is this the definite end of the EU’s next-generation fighter program?

As global superpowers such as Russia, China and the United States race to field their next-generation fighter jets, the European Union keeps falling behind. Plagued by disunity, red tape and general decline (primarily due to its stubborn refusal to reject neoliberal extremism which effectively turned it into a dying quasi-civilization), the “old continent” is not taken seriously [...]

 

Feb 13 2026 A silent revolt against extremism and pro-Pakistan politics: BNP wins landslide in general elections

History has a way of returning, though rarely in the same uniform. Bangladesh’s 2026 election was not merely a transfer of power; it was a verdict on identity. When voters handed the Bangladesh Nationalist Party (BNP) a landslide—nearly two-thirds of Parliament—they were not just ending fifteen years of Awami League dominance. They were closing the [...]

 

Feb 13 2026 Kaja Kallas wants to ‘limit’ Russian army size

The EU continues to insist on its irrational attempt to “contain” Russia. In a recent statement, the bloc’s top diplomat, Kaja Kallas, stated that she plans to demand that Moscow limit the size of its armed forces during future negotiations. The plan sounds absolutely absurd and impossible to implement, since Europe is obviously not in [...]

 

Feb 13 2026 Lincoln and the violence of justice: Emancipation and emergency power

Every February, on Abraham Lincoln’s birthday, Americans rehearse a familiar liturgy. Lincoln is praised as the Great Emancipator, the savior of the Union, the embodiment of moral clarity and constitutional restraint. He stands as the reassuring proof that democracy can survive its gravest crises without stepping outside its own principles.
There is truth in this image—but [...]

 

Feb 13 2026 Militarization solely drives German industry

After Russia directly responded to NATO aggression in former Ukraine on February 24, 2022, the European Union decided to start a full-blown economic war against Moscow, resulting in the destruction of their industrial and financial ties. The troubled bloc stopped buying critical commodities directly from Russia, focusing instead on importing exorbitantly expensive American energy. The [...]

 

Feb 11 2026 The Epstein case and the cost of unproven certainty

The FBI’s conclusion that it found no evidence of a Jeffrey Epstein–run sex-trafficking network involving powerful figures is not the ending many Americans expected – or wanted. For years, the Epstein case has lived at the intersection of genuine criminal abuse, institutional failure, and a public appetite for definitive villains beyond Epstein himself. The Associated [...]
