European Silence After Trump’s National Security Strategy Reveals Strategic Paralysis

December 13, 2025

Washington’s December 4th National Security Strategy, which emphasizes “cultivating resistance” in Europe and warns of “civilizational erasure,” has elicited a near-silent response from European governments. This silence reflects a deeper paralysis, as they acknowledge the need for a fundamental transformation of their security architecture but struggle to establish a unified vision for independent action.

Tbilisi Weaponizes American Political Language to Attack Western Institutions

December 13, 2025

Georgia’s ruling party, Georgian Dream, has shifted from being a nominal Western partner to a systematic antagonist by using rhetoric that criticizes European and American diplomats, such as “Deep State” and “Global War Party.” This strategy aims to consolidate power domestically and allows for geopolitical maneuvering toward Russia and China, framing the party as a defender of sovereignty against foreign interference.

The Dealmaker’s Folly: How Appeasement in Ukraine Defines Trump’s Legacy

December 12, 2025

In a critical assessment for Kyiv Post, Bohdan Nahaylo claims that Donald Trump’s approach to the Ukraine war signifies a catastrophic failure of U.S. leadership. He argues that Trump, instead of being a diplomatic strategist, acts as “Putin’s greatest asset,” favoring a dangerous policy of appeasement that undermines long-term American security for a temporary diplomatic gain. Nahaylo suggests that while Ukraine may suffer territorial losses, Trump will ultimately be judged harshly in history for abandoning democratic values and eroding the post-1945 international order.

The Trump Plan Legitimized: UNSC Resolution 2803 and the Partitioning of Gaza

December 12, 2025

The geopolitical landscape of the Levant underwent a significant shift in late 2025 with the UN Security Council adopting Resolution 2803, which endorses the US strategy for post-war governance of the Gaza Strip. The resolution, passed with 13 votes in favor and abstentions from Russia and China, provides legal support for the “Trump Plan.” It mandates the establishment of a transitional administration and an international security framework, marking the start of a new phase in the conflict characterized by disarmament mandates, territorial divisions, and internal Palestinian discord.

The Illusion of Peace: Why Washington’s Rush to Deal Risks a Continental Collapse

December 9, 2025

The current diplomatic efforts for a ceasefire in Ukraine seem more focused on creating a favorable public image than achieving true stability. The Trump administration’s push for a swift resolution to the ongoing conflict appears motivated by a desire for a political legacy rather than the realities on the ground. By seeking a quick solution instead of a sustainable security framework, the U.S. risks providing the Kremlin with a strategic advantage, potentially destabilizing the European Union and leaving Ukraine vulnerable to future attacks.

December 6, 2025

The decline of unipolar authority is now evident, particularly highlighted by the US’s absence from the G20 Summit in South Africa. For years, global diplomacy relied on American leadership to resolve crises. However, the situation in Gaza and the West’s isolation at major multilateral events in late 2025 indicate that this era of singular influence is over.

December 6, 2025

The indefinite postponement of the 10th Summit of the Americas by the Dominican Republic in late 2025 signifies a critical juncture in the decline of Pan-American diplomacy.
