In the year 2022, when the US has been defeated in Afghanistan and with 8.000 million people on the planet, military, economic and political hegemony cannot be maintained within the same domain parameters, using force, threats and blackmail. .

The neo-conservative "turning point" plunges Germany into a long-term, multiple crisis. The results of peace policy, arms control, economic and social stability and the ecological restructuring of society are set back decades.
European Union (EU) member states have joined a proposal by the German government and France to extend sanctions against the Iranian leadership and state organisations in the Islamic Republic. For the first time, the so-called “morality police” will be included on the EU sanctions list.

Being surprised by the irruption of the extreme right is already a thing of the past. The parties of that current, including those with Nazi sympathies, are abandoning the extra-parliamentary or parliamentary margins to become central and unapologetic actors in hitherto liberal countries.

Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva won yesterday in the first round of the presidential elections held in Brazil. But it was a bitter triumph. The leader of the Workers' Party (PT) obtained 48,43% of the votes, while his rival, the incumbent president, Jair Bolsonaro, reached 43,20% of the votes.

In 2025 the IOC must elect a new president. The 9 presidents so far have been men, all of them white, all of them from Europe or the US. Is it possible that the next president will be president and from a different continent?

Latin America, the most unequal region in the world, is currently going through a series of phenomena as central as they are contradictory. The chronic economic crisis that defines this space was expanded oceanically with the pandemic and later due to the financial effects associated with the Russian war against Ukraine.

We are witnessing a terrifying world drift. The non-acceptance by the United States of its decline as a global hegemonic power is stressing the planet to unimaginable extremes. The so-called “Thucydides trap”, which describes the tendency for a hegemonic power to go to war when threatened by an emerging one, is fully unfolding before our eyes with all its devastating consequences. The hegemon, who considers himself threatened, displays his most sinister face both internally and externally: censorship, suffocating manipulation of media messages, single discourse, maximum use of fear as a political weapon.

Western Sahara was one of those many frozen conflicts scattered around the world until Donald Trump became president of the United States. And it was not so because he had any interest in this dispute, or the Maghreb, in general, but he used it as a lever to intervene in another conflict that was dear to his environment or his bases: that of Palestine.

In the conventional western media there are few times, if not null, that the African continent is looked at. Wars, diseases and coups are presented with hardly any analysis of the complex causes that generate them or the implications that the Western powers play in each of these circumstances.

The Western approach to what is happening in Ukraine makes it clear: the West is not helping Ukraine, it is helping Putin. Sanctions did not stop the war and they never had that chance. The Russian economy turned out to be more stable and robust than the West expected.

Gaza
Frequent power cuts, extreme poverty and the constant fear of more bombing have made many citizens dream of fleeing. More than 50.000 Palestinians have fled the Strip to Turkey, Europe, the United States and Canada. Human rights activists describe the territory as an open-air prison.
