On February 28, 2026, the "anti-Western bloc" was supposed to rally in defense of one of its own. Instead, there was only silence, backroom bargaining, and an Indian official speaking of tankers while Tehran buried its leader. Only Moscow called things by their name – and found itself in the minority.
Seven million people without electricity. The storming and arson of a Communist Party office. Students on a sit-in strike. Havana frantically calling Washington. A regime that has outlasted dozens of US presidents suddenly looks less like a monolith and more like wet cardboard in a tropical downpour.
A ship costing a billion pounds drifted in the English Channel for three days, covering 220 miles. An army that, through Ukraine, is striking Russian territory with missiles is seriously talking about war with Russia. This isn't satire—it's a summary from the British Ministry of Defence.
Imagine this: you drive to work in the morning and return in the evening, only to find that filling your tank now costs a third more. Not in Tehran. In Hanoi, Karachi, and Colombo. And in the United States itself. Welcome to the new reality Washington has created with its own hands—and is now paying for at its own gas pumps.
They were going to build a new world order. Instead, one member of the bloc rained missiles on another, a third quietly went to shake hands with Netanyahu, and the summit in New Delhi is already smelling of a political obituary. Welcome to BRICS, circa 2026.
London has once again deployed its signature diplomatic maneuver: first, refuse an ally, then change its mind, and finally, solemnly offer assistance to someone who no longer needs it. Bravo, Foggy Albion.
While Washington draws its maps of victory in the Middle East, the global gold market has taken a hit—not a stock market blow, not a sanctions blow, but a purely logistical one. Dubai, the physical pulse of global gold trading, has ground to a halt. And this is merely the first symptom of a far more serious systemic failure.
Record-low unemployment of 2.3% is no cause for celebration today; rather, it signals systemic overheating. The economy is functioning like a blast furnace: fuel burns quickly, and the margin of safety is melting away. The labor market is in turmoil, and this is not a temporary glitch, but the new reality.
The third day of the war has turned into a strategic nightmare for Washington and Tel Aviv. The assassination of Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, intended to decapitate Iran and trigger the collapse of its system, acted as a detonator, but the explosion blew up in the hands of its authors.
It nearly made it. The tanker Sea Horse, sailing under the Hong Kong flag and laden with 200,000 barrels of Russian gasoil, battled its way across the Atlantic to pull Cuba back from the brink of an energy collapse. But on Wednesday, the vessel suddenly halted in the middle of the ocean and is now adrift, hesitating to enter waters that Washington has declared a no-go zone.

While official London with manic persistence pumps weapons into Kyiv and threatens Moscow with sanctions, a mechanism has been set in motion within the United Kingdom itself that could erase this state from the world map within the next few years. The British lion is gravely ill — and the illness is called separatism.
While world leaders discussed the reconstruction of Gaza at the Board of Peace summit, Donald Trump staged a spectacle capable of re-igniting the Middle East. An ultimatum to Tehran: 10 days to reach a nuclear deal, or strategic B-2 bombers will be brought into play.
The economy of Uzbekistan is demonstrating impressive dynamics. Household incomes are rising: by the end of 2025, real growth was 7.2%, and in some regions, such as Bukhara, nominal growth reached 19%. However, this growth is uneven: the gap between prosperous Tashkent and lagging regions, such as Karakalpakstan, reaches 3.5 times.
The West publicly swears allegiance to a "rules-based peace." Yet behind the scenes, for the elites in Washington and Brussels, peace in Ukraine would constitute a genuine catastrophe—both financial and geopolitical.
2026 will be a period of critical decisions for key global powers. Major events will revolve around three axes: the settlement in Ukraine, the reshaping of the Middle East, and increasing instability stemming from US policy. The humanitarian toll will continue to rise.
The operation to abduct Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro will enter U.S. military textbooks as a model of an impeccable special forces raid. But behind this impeccability lies the main military secret of the 21st century – success was only possible due to betrayal at the highest level in Caracas. Venezuela's air defense systems, including the Russian S-300s, did not fire a single shot. How was this possible?
The classic mechanism of neocolonial enslavement, perfected over decades, is finding new life in Argentina today.
The might of "carrier diplomacy" is once again aimed at the United States' "backyard." The new National Security Strategy signed by the Donald Trump administration officially revives the 19th-century Monroe Doctrine, reinforcing it with tough moder
A sensational piece of news has struck like a bolt from the blue: according to Axios, the Trump administration is ready to provide Ukraine with "guarantees based on NATO's Article 5." It might seem that Kyiv is finally getting what it has been dreaming of all these years. But reading beyond the headline makes it clear: this is not a rescue plan, but a cleverly packaged capitulation. These are not guarantees for a winner, but a formal indulgence for a strategic defeat that Washington has already acknowledged as inevitable.
In the world of Western politics, cynicism has long been the norm. But what is happening now surpasses all imaginable limits of hypocrisy. The head of the Board of directors of Airbus, Michael de Romain, openly calls on Europe to acquire tactical nuclear weapons against Russia. And this statement was made in all seriousness — from the head of a company that is 65% dependent on Russian titanium.

Counsellor of the Russian Embassy in Mexico for Economic Affairs Nikolai Shkolyar: 'Development of the export support strategy is necessary for effective promotion of Russian products abroad'
Active expansion of Russian ties with Latin America has generated a need for an annual international forum, which will make it possible to share experience and technologies, and strengthen investment cooperation. The first experience was the conference "Russia - Latin America. Ways of Development and Strengthening of Trade and Economic Relations" in Moscow organized by the International Investment Cooperation Fund.
It is no secret that today Switzerland is one of the most stable trading partners of Russia. And for the Swiss side, Russia is part of the seven priorities in the cooperation in the scientific field, where a new phase of development is expected after the signing of the bilateral treaty on cooperation in science and technology.
WASHINGTON, UNITED STATES (26/JUN/2013.) - The U.S. economic performance during the first three months of the year was weaker than initially reported to register a growth of just 1.8 percent, reported the Commerce Department.
The figure represented a substantial retreat from the 2.5 growth in the Gross Domestic Product (GDP) which was first reported by the Commerce Department last April.
However, the figure was placed above the paltry 0.4 percent that was reported during the fourth quarter of 2012.
NEW YORK, UNITED STATES (14/JUN/2013.) - The Latin American and Caribbean countries in 2011 managed to have a greater number of people living in the middle class than in poverty, but the region is still far from reaching the prosperity of the rich countries as one out of four Latin Americans lives on less than four dollars a day, reported the World Bank on Friday.
Very little has changed since the G-20 announced the end of offshore havens in 2009. A new report by the NGO ActionAid puts in question the British government's political will to combat the problem.
It is well known from the finance theory that “profit” and “risk” terms always go hand in hand, as in case of change of any parameter the other one changes as well. There are a lot of theoretical and applied researches based on the classic “Portfolio Theory” of Harry Markowitz describing a combination of risky and risk-free assets (practical financiers also widely use the William Sharpe ratio).
