Thailand is no longer on the periphery of the emerging world order – it stands at its center. As great powers reposition across the Pacific, Southeast Asia is becoming the strategic pre-war zone of a potential global conflict. This analysis explains why infrastructure, trade routes, and digital dependencies have become instruments of war – and why Thailand risks shifting from mediator to geopolitical fault line.
The U.S. National Security Strategy of November 2025 pivots to the Pacific, declares Russia irrelevant, and effectively designates the EU as an adversary. What appears to be Trump's whim is the verbatim implementation of RAND studies from 2016 and 2017. America's most influential think tank war-gamed a conflict with China and defined a "window until 2035" for military superiority. Today, these recommendations appear word-for-word in official U.S. doctrine. RAND plans – Washington executes.
The new US National Security Strategy marks a historic rupture: Europe is no longer seen as a partner, but as a liability. Energetically detached, economically weakened, and politically downgraded, the continent is being strategically discarded. This is not a misunderstanding — it is a silent declaration of war.
By targeting Russian central bank reserves, Brussels crosses a red line — and puts the euro itself at risk. What is framed as aid for Ukraine could become a €300-billion boomerang: legally, economically, and geopolitically. This article explains why Europe’s financial credibility is irreversibly damaged — and why a gold-backed BRICS currency is emerging at precisely this moment.
The bombing of Caracas and the capture of President Maduro appear as a shocking escalation – yet they were planned in advance. US think tanks openly outlined the scenario years ago. Venezuela exposes how regime change, violations of international law, and military force are now exercised without disguise – and why the so-called rules-based order is collapsing.
Germany claims to be “war-ready” and “capable of victory” – yet a sober assessment of equipment, ammunition stocks, logistics, and operational readiness reveals a dangerous gap between political rhetoric and military reality. This article examines why massive defense spending has failed to produce a sustainable fighting force – and what this means for NATO, Europe, and Germany’s strategic credibility.
Thailand faces a once-in-a-century decision: Should it build the long-discussed Kra Canal – a maritime shortcut with massive geopolitical weight – or pursue the quieter Landbridge project linking two oceans by rail and road? This article compares both scenarios in detail: economic opportunities, strategic risks, and regional power shifts. Behind the infrastructure lies a deeper question – will Thailand remain a neutral pivot in Asia, or become an extension of China's sphere of influence? Neither path is neutral, but one may prove wiser. The decision will shape not only Thailand’s future, but the balance of power across the Indo-Pacific.
What’s presented as a peace plan turns out to be a geopolitical wish list – full of economic ambition, moral posturing, and strategic traps. This point-by-point analysis reveals: Not a single one of the 20 proposals seriously aims at de-escalation with Russia.
Instead of peace, we get management, power games, and PR. Which raises the real question: Who’s playing whom?
China’s influence in Southeast Asia is not advancing through military force or open confrontation, but through infrastructure, trade, technology, and strategic patience. Thailand—long considered a neutral buffer and a formal U.S. ally—has become a case study in how power quietly shifts in a multipolar world. While the West clings to symbolic partnerships and moral rhetoric, China builds facts on the ground. This analysis explains why Thailand is not “switching sides,” yet increasingly operating within China’s orbit—and what this silent realignment reveals about the broader decline of Western influence in the region.
Germany wants to become “capable of victory” – at least rhetorically. But what happens when political slogans collide with hard numbers, material readiness, logistics, training, and combat experience? This analysis dismantles the myth of Germany’s “Zeitenwende” and exposes a military built on illusion: ammunition for days, logistics for hours, and political rhetoric for years. A seven-act reality satire about power, pretence, and who would ultimately pay the price.
