Saudi Arabia, strategic partner, the United States

Saudi Arabia is never a strategic partner of the United States

BY: Pooya Mirzaei PEJOURNAL - Many years have passed since the Nixon-Kissinger doctrine of dividing responsibilities in the field of foreign policy and giving responsibility to regional powers. The same doctrine that introduced the Shah of Iran as the regional gendarmerie as a military arm and Saudi Arabia as its economic arm and ultimately complemented the role of the Iranian gendarmerie in the Middle East. In the meantime, the United States has once again chosen a policy of helping Saudi Arabia dominate the region and lead the Arab world, as well as supporting the kingdom in regional conflicts, after regional…

The Monopolar paradigm in a Polycentric world

BY: Leonid Savin PEJOURNAL - Alexander Dugin, a thinker and leader of the international Eurasian movement, is confident that the best system of all is a multipolar world order, which is replacing “Monopolar.” [1] Defending the multipolar model is the leitmotif of the book being analyzed—political scientist Savin’s Ordo Pluriversalis: The End of Pax Americana and the Rise of Multipolarity.[2] The book is dedicated to the 100th anniversary of the publication of Prince Nikolai Sergeyevich Trubetskoy’s “Europe and Humanity”—the first, according to Dugin, genuinely Eurasian text by a Eurasian, and the first to “overcome the West from within.” Savin currently…

G7, surrender to self-made crises

BY: Pooya Mirzaei PEJOURNAL - The idea of forming the G7 after the global oil crisis in 1973 convinced the powerful leaders of the world's major industrialized nations in 1975 that they needed closer and more coherent cooperation for the economic-security crisis caused by economic and oil shocks. But the failure of the Group of Seven in recent years, given the growth of tangible and intangible threats and the changing and fluid nature of threats, has led to the questioning of its existential philosophy. In the current context, and given the out-of-control crises, especially transnational ones, and the conventional and…

QUAD; creating an atmosphere of pessimism against China

BY: William Holmes PEJOURNAL - Former Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe's legacy as the founder of the QUAD in 2007 was supposed to bring "freedom and prosperity" to the Asia-Pacific area, which ran into problems; and the group was able to meet only once in 2007 and ended its work with a military exercise. With the withdrawal of Australia from the group, which was done due to the improvement of its relations with Beijing, the group's activities were interrupted for more than a decade. In 2012, Japan promoted the group's idea as a "QUAD of democratic security" and thus challenged…

BY: Franco Marino Translated BY: Costantino Ceoldo PEJOURNAL - The amazement of those who are witnessing the birth of a new totalitarianism in a country [our Italy] that for seventy years has praised anti-fascism in all its guises is understandable. Yet, sixteen months of virus spilled in the media twenty-four hours a day, should have briefly explained how a vaccine works.
