Ukraine war: Behind the scene and Trump's triumph

As soon as the contentious meeting ended, White House staff bluntly told President Zelensky, "Mr. President, you should leave now." There was no dinner! Without any formalities, Zelensky quickly left the White House and headed for Europe. Upon arrival, he immediately met with the British Prime Minister, and Britain extended him an overwhelmingly warm welcome. King Charles III received him at the Sandringham House salon in Norfolk and held discussions with him for nearly an hour. Through this warmth, Britain effectively sent a message to the United States that not only the British government but also the King himself fully supports Zelenskyy and Ukraine.

Is Trump’s aggression real or just a political bluff?

Donald Trump took office as the President of the United States on January 20. In just a short period, he has made numerous orders and expressed intentions to make several decisions that have shocked many worldwide. He has been issuing threats and making bold statements. Already, he has taken so many actions that many consider unusual. No US president in recent history has taken so many significant steps right after taking office, nor has any president threatened other countries in this way. Some critics have even compared him to Adolf Hitler, calling him an extreme nationalist. Among his most controversial decisions are taking control of the war-torn Gaza Strip and relocating its residents, making Canada the 51st US state (often referring to Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau as 'Governor'), imposing high tariffs on Canada, Mexico, and China, shut down USAID, deporting illegal immigrants from the US, attempting to acquire Greenland from Denmark, reclaiming control over the Panama Canal, offering military aid to Ukraine in exchange for mineral resources, and restrict access to intelligence information for former President Biden, among many other actions.

Is Trump's era the start of a new world order?

Donald Trump is set to take the oath as the elected president of the United States. In the current era, nearly every country in the world has some form of relationship with others. These relationships can be either friendly or adversarial, meaning that every country, especially major powers, has interests intertwined with others. Accordingly, the United States, the world’s largest economy and military power, has commercial, military, and even ideological ties or conflicts with nearly every country. These relationships also experience ups and downs. It is important to note that those who believe that US foreign policy does not change regardless of which party forms the government are influenced by outdated thinking. Such thinking is old-fashioned, a relic of the Cold War era, when the US maintained consistent policies toward the Soviet Union and the countries in the socialist bloc, regardless of which party was in power. However, that bloc has now collapsed, and even large socialist countries like China are now operating under free-market principles.

Bashar al-Assad's fall in Syria: What’s happening there?

After nearly 14 years of civil war, Syrian President Bashar al-Assad has been ousted for the first time. Syrian rebels have declared that the 'dictator' President Bashar al-Assad has fled the country, and Syria is now free. If, within the next few days, it is heard that Bashar al-Assad has been arrested or killed by the rebels after stepping down from power, it would not be surprising. However, it is more accurate to describe the war in Syria as an international conflict rather than a civil war.
