AUKUS in breach of NPT, damaging regional security

PEJOURNAL - Trade talks between Australia and the European Union have been postponed as a row with France over the so-called AUKUS security partnership deepens. AUKUS is a security pact between Australia, the US and UK. It allows for greater sharing of intelligence, but crucially it gives Australia secret technology to build nuclear-powered submarines, though not equipped with nuclear weapons. Last month, Canberra canceled a $37bn ($27.5bn) deal with France to build a fleet of conventional submarines. Instead, it will build at least eight nuclear-powered submarines with US and UK technology. The decision angered Paris, which called the deal a "stab in…

Mapping the issues that produced the German federal election result

PEJOURNAL - What policy issues determined support for parties during the 2021 German federal election? Davide Angelucci, Lorenzo De Sio, Heiko Giebler and Werner Krause present conclusions from an analysis of the key topics that encouraged vote-switching during the campaign. They find the SPD’s victory was mainly driven by its credibility on economic issues. The 2021 German federal election was a showcase for electoral volatility – not just in terms of the result, but also in relation to changes in the polling during the campaign. But while the strengths and weaknesses of the leading candidates were clearly of great importance,…

9/11, George Washington University, Hossein Askari, Saudi Arabia, Tony Blair

Emeritus Professor at George Washington University confirms Tony Blair’s view of Riyadh

PEJOURNAL - The former UK Prime Minister Tony Blair said on the anniversary of 9/11 that Saudi Arabia with huge oil wealth is propagating a fundamental, old-fashioned, and quite a backward view of Islam.  Blair described the 9/11 terrorist attacks as an event that changed the world. He said that the attacks created big anxiety in the world because they did not know whether further attacks were on the way. Meanwhile, he added that Americans decided to leave Afghanistan because they realized that the enemy they were fighting there was not going to give up even after 20 years. He said…

Afghanistan’s collapse is a rude awakening for South Korea

BY: Jong Eun Lee* PEJOURNAL - After twenty years, the war in Afghanistan has ended with the Taliban’s victory. Multiple U.S. analysts are already writing commentaries on what has gone wrong with the U.S. military strategy in Afghanistan, but far fewer are assessing what the end of the war signifies for South Korea. Currently, there is an ongoing historical debate within South Korea on the origin of the Republic of Korea (ROK), with critics challenging its political legitimacy (allegation of pro-Japanese, authoritarian characteristics). However, it should be noted that during the Korean War, most of the South Korean populace and…

Eagle plan; Cold War heritage alternatives

BY: Pooya Mirzaei PEJOURNAL - As a centralized system of government, China has slowly opened its doors to the Cold War, strengthened its infrastructure with US investment, and is now moving shoulder to shoulder with the United States in all areas through industrial espionage and technology transfer. While Biden sees China's growth as a threat to the United States, Kissinger, the first man in US foreign policy on US-China relations, points to interesting points outside the history of the relationship and believes that the United States in the 1970s in order to prevent China from leaning towards the Soviet Union,…

Divergence fractions within the Democrats and Republicans with divergence of tastes in the two parties

BY: Mohammad Ghaderi PEJOURNAL - Examination of the American people’s policy priorities for 2021 reveals serious gaps between Republicans and Democrats in Congress on domestic and foreign policy and economic issues. With the United States facing two budget deficit crises and the global Covid-19 epidemic, the majority of Americans want the Biden administration and Congress to prioritize strengthening the economy and controlling the outbreak of coronavirus in 2021. But the wide-ranging gaps between people and policymakers that go beyond partisanship and politics have made issues of racial discrimination, countering COVID-19, compensating for the budget deficit and creating jobs still not…

‘House of One’ believes in the battle of Armageddon against Islam and the victory of Christian Zionism

BY: Isah Omogbai PEJOURNAL - While the groundbreaking ceremony and the construction of the Abrahamic Religious Cooperation Center, known as the House of Unity (House of One), in Berlin on May 27 this year, not only there is no positive prospect for the Western Christian and Jewish approaching to Muslim world, but also such actions reveal the Western view about Islam and its concern about the spread of the concept of political Islam. In fact, from the beginning of the twentieth century, and especially in the late twentieth century, after the collapse of the Soviet Union, the consequent issue of…

Middle East is a possible host for World War III

BY: William Holmes PEJOURNAL – The policy of US sanctions and addiction to forcing non-aligned countries to adhere to its maximum-policies has created new lines of resistance in the international system including Middle East. Globally, in the aftermath of the Cold War and the undisputed power of the Americans over the international system, sanctions diplomacy has been widely used in US foreign policy. The lack of global rivals after the fall of the Soviet Union, which led to the creation of a new world order to the detriment of American interests, in turn paved the way for a monopoly of…
