Washington’s doubts about the new strategic relations between China and Russia

BY: William Holmes PEJOURNAL - The US President Joe Biden is looking at Russia in the conflict with China, and with major coalition-building, bilateral sanctions, he is further restricting the close ties between Beijing and Moscow. For Europeans in Russia's neighborhood too, the question has been raised over the years that it does not make sense for the Western world to impose sanctions on Russia so that Moscow moves farther away from Europe and rushes to Beijing. Looking at the geopolitics of the region and the fiery points of Europe in the Baltic, Balkan and Crimean regions; It is understandable…

Washington; The capital or The barracks?

BY: Pooya Mirzaei PEJOURNAL - Washington DC has become a military barracks on the eve of the inauguration of US President-elect Joe Biden.

Six Challenges of Bin Salman in the Biden Period

BY: Ruhollah Qasemian PEJOURNAL - With Biden coming and changing US foreign policy in the Middle East, we seem to be witnessing serious challenges and concerns for the throne of the young Crown Prince of Saudi Arabia ( Bin Salman ), the least likely of which is the formulation of US Middle East policy in Washington and the White House not in Riyadh and the court of King Salman.

Washington and Trump keep digging a hole for America

BY: Martin Love PEJOURNAL - Where the hell are the Skripals who allegedly were poisoned by Novichok? There have apparently been no reports of their whereabouts nor any interviews of them in the years since they allegedly were poisoned in Salisbury. Now we also have the Germans questioning whether to use the almost completed Nordstream 2 pipeline and Alexei Navalny, an insignificant agitator against Putin with almost nil support in Russia, is in Germany where Merkel is claiming he was indeed poisoned. What or who got under Merkel’s bonnet to result in what seems like a belated, false charge? If…

SCFR: Libya; Scene of Turkey-Egypt Proxy War

PEJOURNAL - With the escalation of the armed conflict in Libya, and in particular the advance of the National Unity Government forces led by Faiz al-Siraj in areas beyond the capital, the domestic military scene in Libya and its equations have become much clearer. It has also led to obtaining further knowledge about international rivals supporting the either side in the Libyan conflict. However, the retreat of the so-called National Army forces under the command of General Haftar has also contributed to the controversy, prompting widespread reactions about the collapse of these forces (National Army). Western supporters and General Haftar’s…
