The danger of democratic left-wing agents is greater than al-Qaeda and ISIS threat to the US

BY: Tony Johnson PEJOURNAL - Never in American history has the threat of the left-wing threatened the United States so much. However, at times during the Cold War, and especially in the early 1970s, left-wing views were commonplace and quoted in intellectual circles, which could only be confronted with serious action by the governing body, led by Senator McCarthy. But today the danger that threatens the American political structure in domestic and foreign policy penetrates the institutions of government and does not make much effort to hide its left-wing nature.

Uzbekistan’s role in the balance of power with the United States and Russia

BY: Pooya Mirzaei PEJOURNAL - Uzbekistan is located in the heart of Central Asia and borders all four other Central Asian countries. The country, on the other hand, is close to Russia and China and has rich sources of energy, gold, and uranium.

Uzbekistan has also tended to move away from Russian domination of the United States in recent years and has developed economic plans for greater cooperation with the West. The intersection of the US strategy to find strategic…

The deterioration of the United States is Europe’s best opportunity for political independence

The deterioration of the United States is Europe’s best opportunity for political independence

BY: William Holmes The hasty, unplanned, and catastrophic withdrawal of the United States from Afghanistan has rightly raised concerns among its allies who rely on the US military for security. In fact, in such a situation, countries such as South Korea, Japan or European governments cannot be sure of the correctness of the interim decisions of the United States and the consequences for their strategic and long-term policies. In other words, given the US approach to strengthening its strength in East Asia and the South China Sea, which is aimed at confronting Beijing, its allies, especially Europe, must take responsibility…

America at a historical juncture for further deterioration or greater power

BY: Pooya Mirzaei PEJOURNAL - Perhaps the most pessimistic American politicians did not imagine that Biden would be subjected to the harshest attacks, even nine months after the 46th President of the United States came to power, and even warned of the danger of his impeachment. Biden and his supporters, who during and after the election campaign incessantly blamed Trump for humiliating the United States on the world stage, and in a thunderous process, put all their grief and sorrow on reversing the actions of the former White House resident, were able to cotton all his achievements. But suddenly both…

EU, NATO and the challenges for a foreign policy and community defense policy

BY: Paolo Mauri Translated BY: Costantino Ceoldo PEJOURNAL - The need to adopt a common defense and foreign policy has strongly returned to the agenda of the European Union. The triggering cause, or if we want “the straw that broke the camel's back”, was the unilateral management by the United States of the withdrawal from Afghanistan, which essentially excluded the Allies belonging to NATO from the decision-making processes of the Kabul evacuation operation. The prodromes of this renewed need had been advanced, as we well know, by French President Emmanuel Macron, who earlier this year stated that Europe needed “strategic…

The defeat of US military power in the Crusades against Muslims in the Middle East

BY: Mohammad Ghaderi PEJOURNAL - Gradually, the voice of the US military power is becoming broken, which is heard today from Kabul Airport surrendering the world’s largest military power. The military, the world’s largest and most powerful army, is not even able to withdraw its troops from Afghanistan under normal circumstances, despite an agreement with the Taliban. This military defeat is not the only internal source to be sought in the divisions of American political identity and fragmented society.
