U.S. stops Russian bond payments in bid to raise pressure on Moscow

PEJOURNAL - The United States stopped the Russian government on Monday from paying holders of its sovereign debt more than $600 million from reserves held at American banks, in a move meant to ratchet up pressure on Moscow and eat into its holdings of U.S. dollars. Under sanctions put in place after Russia invaded Ukraine on Feb. 24, foreign currency reserves held by the Russian central bank at U.S. financial institutions were frozen. But the Treasury Department had been allowing the Russian government to use those funds to make coupon payments on dollar-denominated sovereign debt on a case-by-case basis. On…

North Korea says it will strike with nuclear weapons if South attacks

PEJOURNAL - North Korea opposes war but would use nuclear weapons if South Korea attacked, Kim Yo Jong, the powerful sister of leader Kim Jong Un, said on Tuesday, in a warning that analysts said is probably aimed at the South's incoming conservative president. Kim Yo Jong, a senior official in the government and ruling party, said it was a "very big mistake" for South Korea's minister of defence to make recent remarks discussing attacks on the North, state news agency KCNA reported. South Korean Defence Minister Suh Wook had said on Friday that his country's military has a variety…

Challenges of the UAE pendulum game in the Middle East region

BY: Pooya Mirzaei PEJOURNAL - The Negev meeting was attended by the US and Israeli foreign ministers and officials from Bahrain, Morocco, and Egypt. The United Arab Emirates, which took the lead in Abraham Accords to normalize relations with the Zionist regime, was also one of the countries that attended the recent meeting. A look at the country's foreign policy record over the past year shows that Abu Dhabi is facing a serious contradiction in its approach to foreign relations. In the last two years, the UAE government has taken a new approach to develop relations with countries such as…

Europe’s blind investment in American endless wars

BY: William Homes PEJOURNAL - These days, there is nothing beyond the fall of the US-backed Ashraf Ghani government in Afghanistan and the re-emergence of the Taliban and its unfortunate consequences for Europe. This unexpected change has preoccupied the minds of Europeans and the political and security circles of the continent. The continent of Europe, which in 2015, following the escalation of the civil war in Syria and Iraq and the rise of ISIS in these two countries, faced a crisis of refugees and war refugees, as well as unprecedented fear of ISIS assassinations in European capitals, With the Taliban…

US interest in allying with terrorist groups rather than cooperating with European allies

BY: Alfonso Gomez Delacroz PEJOURNAL - The defeat in Afghanistan and the catastrophic retreat after 20 years of spending in this country show the irreparable recklessness in US foreign policy today. The first characteristic that comes to mind from the confusion is the paradigm shift in American foreign policy. A fundamental turnaround that does not endorse the claims of US pioneering in the international system and the new world order declared by this country, or at least Washington's efforts to do so. In the meantime, however, the problem is that after World War II, the United States in particular sought…

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. In other words, thirty years after the collapse of the…

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. These issues have given Tashkent a high position in the regional equations in the center of gravity of Central Asia. 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

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…
