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…

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…

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…

Manama dialogue: Gathering for security or insecurity?

BY: Pooya Mirzaei PEJOURNAL - In recent days, Bahrain has hosted a meeting in Manama called the Regional Security Summit. Although Bahrain was the nominal host of the Manama dialogue, the meeting could be considered to be hosted by Bahrain and Saudi Arabia, given Riyadh's godfather's ruling on Manama. The record of these countries, both domestically against their citizens and in the region against free nations like Yemen, shows that they are themselves part of the crisis and the cause of insecurity in the region, and therefore hosting Manama dialogue called the Regional Security Summit is a clear contradiction. Official…

US and UK military are the world biggest polluters

BY: Leonid Savin PEJOURNAL - You don’t have to be a professional environmentalist to see how Washington and its G7 partners pay lip service to environmental protection. We are constantly hearing about the “green” initiatives under the Paris climate agreement and the need to reduce carbon dioxide emissions in the atmosphere. There is even talk of the need to introduce quotas for states. It is logical to assume that if the US has committed itself to restrictions, then it should do so in practice. Even the United States Defense Department is focusing on environmental issues. On 7 October 2021, the…

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. Numerous factors for this failure must be traced to the history and strategic mistakes of the United States over the past…
