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…

The formation of a future world order in the Chinese-American competition

BY: Yahya Sorbelo PEJOURNAL - Non-constructive competition between the United States and China has become a model of international relations that will affect the strategic issues and political, military and economic dynamics of the world. The competition for power that can affect future world order, involves different understanding of threats in the form of a political-ideological component based on Chinese and American values. This rivalry in the war of ideas and values over Chinese authoritarianism and American democracy is very influential in the process of trade and security conflicts between the United States and China in shaping the future world…

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…

US-China: Geoeconomics Tussle

BY: Abu Hurrairah PEJOURNAL - Geoeconomics defines itself in two ways: One is the use of the economy to gain geographical or ‎territorial advantages. Second is the use of geographical location to achieve your economic ‎objectives. To understand this core concept in the contemporary world, the best examples to deal ‎with are China and the United States of America. They are keeping in mind that the primary goal of ‎both is to gain power, but the procedures are different. ‎ Talking about China first, we can say that China stands with the first definition of Geoeconomics. It ‎uses its location…

Russia and SWIFT

PEJOURNAL - A spokesman for the Russian Foreign Ministry recently announced that Russia is preparing to be removed from SWIFT. His remarks came in response to a European Parliament resolution calling for Russia to cut ties with SWIFT if it continues to invade Ukraine. The question now is how feasible is this Russian move? What are its implications for SWIFT and international trade? What are the roots of this decision and how far can the countries involved in SWIFT go with the option of sanctioning and leaving SWIFT? SWIFT stands for the Society for Worldwide Interbank Financial Telecommunications, which has…

Necessity of forming the club of countries countering US sanctions

Even though there are news recently about the formation of a global coalition among the countries…

US Intelligence Community Pumping Up The Fear

BY: Leonid Savin On 9 April, the US intelligence community released its annual assessment of threats to America. It was also provided to the congressional intelligence committees and the committees on the Armed Services of the House of Representatives and the Senate. The report is in keeping with previous national security and defence strategies: the main threats are still China, Russia, Iran and North Korea, then there is a list of transnational problems, followed by problems related to global terrorism, conflict, and instability. Since the same department has only just put forward its predictions up until 2040, it is probably safe to…

America and the lost leadership

BY: Adam Dentor PEJOURNAL - After four years, the Biden administration is trying to regain the lost global position of the United States and restore the leadership role of America. Although the solution to some of the problems in this area can be in the hands of the White House, but due to the fact that today’s world conditions are not comparable to 2016 by any measure, the solution to a large part of these issues is outside Washington access; And it is in the hands of other global players, especially America’s powerful rivals, led by China, Russia and the…
