The approach is structured both thematically and chronologically, aiming not only to describe developments but also to interpret their underlying causes and likely consequences.

Having been leveraging economic and strategic initiatives to play the right cards for ASEAN’s nod, the two dominant powers in this rivalry know the victor stands to do more than tip the scales of influence—it will get to weave its way through the shadowy waters of the South China Sea and guide the currents toward a fertile delta of bigger ambitions.

When asked about the situation in Gaza, Trump just said that it was entirely the Israel’s cabinet’s decision. No interest. Obviously, the Israeli PM is satisfied that he has Trump’s backing, despite a growing clamour from countries across the world, including neighbouring Arab countries. If Netanyahu proceeds with this, and there does not appear that nothing will stop him, since he has US backing, in the long run he takes the risk of turning Israel into a pariah state...

But where auroras dance and tundra unfolds, Alaska will earn an additional legend to tell. Of a moment woven on its ground with fragile threads of trust, one intertwined with cautious hopes and fleeting light. So even as Putin and Trump pose cheek by jowl, their move on the chessboard is—perhaps—no more than a herald of the end’s design.

The fundamental question that arises from this is whether this new approach – in which escalation becomes a means of de-escalation – can be considered a rational solution or just a pretext for major geopolitical repositions. If it is a solution, then it implies an assumption of strategic risk as a legitimate instrument of negotiation and reaffirmation of the international order. In this logic, striking Moscow would become not only possible, but necessary.

The creation of the Haqqani Network can be tied back to the 1990s, as a resistance group closely associated with the Mujahideen resistance to fight back against the soviet controlled Afghanistan. While it is easy to categorize the Haqqani network as one of criminal insurgency, or an uprising that doesn’t reach the level of a revolution, it is important to consider that the Mujahideen and Haqqani network were receiving weapons and funds from the US were being distributed to the Haqqani network...

Finally, history is more than the past. It is a mirror in which we can see ourselves, a tool for understanding the present and building a better future. If young people no longer read history, then we risk producing generations that do not know themselves and who are blind to the cycles of injustice, hatred and the repetition of tragedies. “For a nation, history is not only the past, but also the path to the future. Forgetting it is identity suicide,” warns Ismail Kadare in his work “Disagreement.”

The current US administration’s policy signals a strategic pivot rooted in pragmatism and realpolitik. In contrast to previous administrations, which often resorted to imposing sanctions and political isolation, the new approach prioritises dialogue, respect for sovereignty, and common interests. This policy marks a refreshing change in American foreign policy and creates new prospects for a lasting partnership that could enhance stability, prosperity...

There needs to be a two- state solution, fairness for the Palestinians, a 10-year handover period with a small group of distinguished, empathetic persons to assist an embryonic state with defined boundaries and not dependent on Israel. The US should play a significant role as should the EU and fellow Arab neighbours. Trump could even bring his Riviera of the Middle East idea as part of the solution. In that way, he could really demonstrate his peace intentions.

The summit reflects the consolidation of BRICS as an alternative but cautious pole, without radical steps. The event marks a shift from ideological rhetoric to practical measures for building economic, financial, and technological autonomy.

Reconciliation is more than a singular process. It is a long-term, evolving commitment to truth, justice, inclusion, and social cohesion of all societal stakeholders. It can be initiated and accelatered by the external force, but it can be only delivered domestically. Neighbours cannot clean up the house, it has to be done by the household members.
