How Putin’s plans to blackmail Europe over gas supply failed

  The worst-case scenarios piled up over the summer months. Germany’s economic minister warned of “catastrophic” industrial shutdowns, fraying supply chains and mass unemployment. France’s president urged citizens to turn down the heating. Spain asked why countries that hadn’t got hooked on Russian gas should bail out neighbours who had lectured them about fiscal discipline in the past. Former Russian president Dmitry Medvedev, meanwhile, gleefully predicted that Europeans would be “freezing in their homes” because they hadn’t thought through the consequences of throwing their support behind Ukraine. “The cold is coming soon,” he said, menacingly, in June last year. But as the  European Union  enters the last month of the meteorological winter in 2023, signs are becoming clearer that its members have weathered an historic crisis – and not just because “General Frost” has proved a milder adversary than Medvedev predicted. Within eight months of Russian troops setting foo...

Radicalisation of Muslim community in Europe started in the 1960s due to the activities of the Muslim Brotherhood.

 The 28 countries of the European Union [EU] are home to about 25 million Muslims. Their presence is currently the basis of controvesy . debate, fear and in some parts of Europe, outright hatred. Never before has the European continent witnessed this level of mutual suspicion between mainstream European societies and the Muslims.  There is increasing fear and opposition to European Muslims, who are perceived as a threat to national identity,  domestic security and the main-stream social fabric. Mainstream society in Europe can be loosely defined as that section of the population which believes in Christianity and its value system.  Historically, Islamic globalisation began as early as the late Middle Ages (500 to 1400–1500 AD), the Muslims’ presence in Europe was only of the fringes of the continent, starting at the Iberian Peninsula  (Spain and Portugal) and spreading along the Mediterranean shores to other parts of Southern Europe.  Parts of the Ottoman ...

“Assessing the Outcome of Germany’s Election Leads to Free Zone”

  Here’s something I want to share today. It’s about how Germany will host a three party alliance and nothing will finish. That is on the grounds that the math is the main factor in surveying the result, not the horse race. But how might I be so certain of this political outcome, which will decide the approaches of Europe's most significant country? My hypothesis is that we should sideline the horse race and rather take a gander at how Germany is really administered. Looking at it, Germany would turn into an approach free zone, which thus destines Europe to yet more float and ambiguity, as Berlin just couldn't lead, notwithstanding the basic that it does as such. Germany's electing math does nothing not exactly commit Europe to a medium-term of more float and decrease.

“A Shift of Focus for Iran’s Regime Would Be A Great Idea”

  I want to share something interesting about what I read today. It’s about In spite of its rebellious position toward the US and the West as a rule, the Iranian system thinks often about how it is seen outside its lines. Hence, through its campaigning and amicable news sources, it buckles down on the picture projected to worldwide crowds. It likewise focuses on a particular line of figured that can activate tension on the political forerunners in Washington or Brussels. This picture is key for the mullahs.   Looking at it, It is a picture they work on reliably and deliberately. It is the picture of a nation of obstruction; a country that stands with the abused; a country that stands against the shrewd and incredible "Uncle Sam." It is a picture of a glad and quiet country encompassed by antagonistic, misdeed Arabs hoping to deny them of their opportunity. It is a picture of David remaining against Goliath. Iran depicts itself as a casualty that stands against bigotry an...

“A Nuance Deal With EU Made Israel Fierce This Time”

  Here’s something I want to share about what I read today. It’s on the off chance that the EU might want to see an adjustment of the current terrible circumstance, it needs to start to lead the pack, use its financial and discretionary force, and become bolder in its moves to break the impasse in Israeli-Palestinian relations. Such approaches could incorporate marking the calendar for Israel perceiving Palestine as a state, with East Jerusalem as its capital, with or without a nonaggression treaty; helping in the recreation of Gaza and restoring the West Bank's economy; and making an unequivocal qualification between Israel inside the Green Line and the West Bank, East Jerusalem and Gaza. Looking at it, Brussels ought to likewise boost the two sides to change their separate practices to guarantee that human, political and social liberties are maintained for everybody similarly between the Jordan River and the Mediterranean Sea. For me, The EU has the way to alter the course of...

Europe sees migrant crisis as the boat sinks off drowning 43 people

  At least 43 migrants and refugees are feared to have drowned while 84 were rescued after a shipwreck off Tunisia’s coast. This boat sailed from Zuwarah on Libya’s northwest coast, carrying migrants and refugees from Egypt, Sudan, Eritrea and Bangladesh. These migrants were trying to cross the Mediterranean to reach Italy. This desperate attempt was made since the asylum seekers were struggling for interpreters at the USEU border. Though the Libyan navy acknowledges the dangerous chase of the migrant boat, still many drowned in the sea. It can be seen in the camera that the Libyan coastguards were chasing behind to save the people. Rather the navy rescued 84 migrants and 43 others drowned in a boat that set off from Libya’s Zuwara towards Europe.   Since Libya is a frequent departure point for Europe-bound migrants making a dangerous Mediterranean Sea crossing. It can be seen from 2014 that more than 20,000 migrants and refugees have died at sea while trying to reach Euro...

“The Influence of USA’s New Hinge is Strong”

  I want to share something surprising as it appears to be the responses for the US will come through multilateralism supplanting its influential position, which the world has become acclimated to. The previous many years have seen to and for moves in the US' approach, from being excessively solid to full withdrawal. It appears to be the current organization will endeavor, through commitment with partners and China the same, to bring a more reliable and stable way to deal with the Middle East.   I likewise keep thinking about whether this methodology won't be perused as an American acknowledgment of China's ascent to world authority and a craving to go with it, along these lines that the UK went with the US on its ascent in the only remaining century. Such a perusing by territorial forces in the Indo-Pacific, Middle East, Africa and Europe would quicken more grounded neighborhood commitment with China and Russia to fill the vacuum left by the US.

43 Migrants headed to Europe drown as they leave Libya

  Migrants who were headed for Europe travelled off the coast of Libya through to the Mediterranean Sea drowned midway. As per latest reports, 43 migrants have drowned with the boat that capsized on Wednesday. The United Nations migration agency confirmed the news saying that the ship indeed overturned on January 20. The international agency said that the ‘tragic’ incident was the first maritime disaster of 2021 that involved migrants, those seeking better lives in Europe. Last year, many such incidents occurred where those seeking to go to Europe and start their new lives in the continent away by an ocean from a distance, lost their lives. The European Union has stepped up and partnered with Libya’s coast guard and their local groups to stem the sea crossing. Many of the human rights groups do not approve of these policies compiled by the EU saying that they make locals more vulnerable to the armed groups and subject them to confinement and abuses. After the accident, the ...

Is Turkey exiting NATO? Turkey’s rift with NATO members may lead to its exit

  Turkey is once again in the news for disrupting balance in NATO and despite the warning that the country and its government is facing, it continues to poke the western alliances. Recent reports suggest that Ankra might exit from NATO. Earlier, the Vice President of United States Mike Pence also warned Turkey in April 2020 regarding the purchase of the Russian S-400 missile system. He had said that if it goes ahead with the deal, it might end up losing NATO membership. "Turkey must choose: does it want to remain a partner of the most successful military alliance in the history of the world? Or do they want to risk the safety of this partnership by making reckless decisions that threaten our alliance?" We have made it clear that we will not stand by while NATO allies buy weapons from our adversaries, weapons that threaten the very cohesion of this alliance," Pence said. Turkey was seen getting more and more involved in Russia. It had sent one of its military personne...

  Sunday, November 01, 2020. Germany's opposition Green Party foreign affairs expert Cem Ozdemir has accused Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan of promoting Islamic terrorism in Europe.

This week there were terrorist attacks in France on teachers, pastors and civilians that further fueled the deteriorating relations between Turkey and France. Meanwhile, several governments have expressed support for France, accus...

Human Rights Group Protest Against Turkish Atrocities To Kurdish Villagers

  Mistreatment of Kurdish villagers are brought human rights activist to the streets of Turkey. There has also been news over torture and food poisoning. These claims have been made by three pro- Kurdish People’s Democratic Party (HDP) politicians. Members of Amnesty International meanwhile are demanding government investigate the circumstances in which two Kurds were thrown off a military helicopter. But the government has accused the HDP of having ties with the outlawed Kurdistan Workers Party (PKK) and that thousands of its members have been prosecuted for the same reason, including its leaders. The HDP denies such links. The PKK is designated a terrorist group by Turkey, the European Union and US. The news has come into being since the imprisonment of the HDP politicians, including Ayhan Bilgen who is mayor of Van province. They all fell sick after consuming food at the Ankara police headquarters. Both Kurds who are said to have fallen from the helicopter were aged 55 a...

Syrian foreign minister targets Turkey as he calls the nation main sponsor of Terrorism

  Slowly but with time countries are beginning to acknowledge Turkey’s dangerous motives in the region and with Syria’s foreign minister coming out and naming Turkey as the main sponsor of the terrorism, country’s will be more cautious in matters with Turkey. He blamed Turkey for being guilty for committing ‘war crimes and crimes against humanity’. He said this after Turkish people were denied entrance into Syrian land and Turkey retaliated by cutting off the water supply from this household.  On Saturday in a first-ever high level meeting, Walid al-Moallem said that the cutoff of water supply will threaten the lives of the civilians. It was a rare picture of the foreign minister speaking in a harsh and loud tone while addressing the issue. It was a pre-recorded speech that was being played in the UN General Assembly meeting held virtually due to Covid-19 Pandemic. Turkey has established itself as a notorious element in Syria which is seen supporting the opposition fight...
