... their own plans and intentions.
The very fact that a number of U.S. journalists cast doubt on the ability of China and India, Saudi Arabia and Iran to work together, only confirms a unique character and power of BRICS. When sneering at Argentina's “recusal”, they ignore that there were neither criticism nor threats towards Buenos Aires from other members of the Organization. Only a confirmation of the readiness to cooperate in any convenient form. And this is the key idea behind the new world order ...

Last night’s event was sensational, but what was the real motivation behind the Kremlin encounter?
A few years ago, Russia was accused of interfering in American political processes. Now the opposite has happened. US domestic politics is dragging the Russian factor – represented by President Vladimir Putin – into its own electoral process.
Journalist Tucker Carlson is a strongly ideological man who represents a certain political camp. He brought to Moscow a profound spirit of internal American...
... unique example of a struggle in which the forces of the opponents are approximately comparable, although the superiority of the West is significant. We absolutely do not know how the countries of the World Majority would behave in conditions where the USA and Europe launched an offensive against a weaker adversary: for example, against Iran or another country of a comparable scale. Therefore, we cannot say to what extent the self-confidence of those countries that do not obey US orders now, would manifest ...
Interview with Tobby Simon, President of the Synergia Foundation
Today, India is becoming a prominent player on the global technological arena. How India is achieving this? How does this country protect its technological sovereignty in a fragmenting world? Are there any prospects for cooperation between Russia and India in the field of high-tech? We talked about this and many other things with Synergia Foundation President Tobby Simon.

However, he is unlikely to keep his promise, at least not before the US presidential elections in November. Still, Africa already had a lot of the US' attention: a long chain of top-level US officials showed...

Whether many of us in Russia are ready to admit it or not, the position of Europe in international politics will inevitably become an important issue of theoretical and practical significance
Whether many of us in Russia are ready to admit it or not, the position of Europe in international politics will inevitably become an important issue of theoretical and practical significance. For the great powers, the urgency of this issue is determined by what they associate with Europe in their own plans...
