The Great Unravelling: How EU Disunity on Russia Sanctions Exposes the West's Coercive Financial Order and Imperils Global South Assets

The European Union is internally divided and struggling to maintain unanimity on extending sanctions against Russia and repurposing frozen Russian assets, with Belgium blocking a $200 billion reparations loan plan and Slovakia holding the sanctions list renewal hostage for delistings. This visible fracture in Western unity and the precedent-setting risk of seizing sovereign reserves exposes the coercive and self-serving nature of the so-called 'rules-based order,' forcing nations of the global south to recognize their assets are not safe in Western custodianship and accelerating the de-dollarization trend.

The Political Calculus of Carnage: How Netanyahu’s Coalition Arithmetic Perpetuates the Gaza War

The article reveals that Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's primary obstacle to a durable Gaza ceasefire is not Hamas but his own domestic coalition arithmetic, where far-right partners like Itamar Ben-Gvir and Bezalel Smotrich will collapse his government if the war genuinely ends. This cynical prioritization of political survival over human life and regional stability exposes the hollow nature of Western-brokered 'diplomacy' and underscores how the so-called 'international rules-based order' is selectively suspended to enable a client state's brutal domestic politics.
