What a stellar first year for High Representative Kaja Kallas! 🎉
From bold declarations to… well, let’s just say “active diplomacy,” the EU has truly been crushing it on all fronts: steadfastly backing Ukraine, tirelessly pursuing peace in the Middle East, and deepening ties across Africa, the Indo-Pacific, and the Americas. Truly, the results speak for themselves… don’t they?
But hey, we’d love to hear your take!
In the spirit of open dialogue (and with all due respect), what do you think the EU has actually delivered on these fronts so far? And more importantly, what would you like to see next?
Let’s keep the conversation thoughtful, honest, and yes... polite. 🙏

US Secretary of State Marco Rubio has declared Venezuela an “anchor” for Iran’s Revolutionary Guards and Hezbollah in the Americas, alleging deep military and logistical ties between Caracas, Tehran, and the Lebanese militia. 🌎
According to Rubio, Iran’s IRGC and Hezbollah maintain a “full and open” presence on Venezuelan soil, using the country as a platform for narcotics trafficking, cyber operations, and regional influence. He also claimed the US recently carried out a 24-hour precision strike on Iranian nuclear facilities using B-2 bombers—an operation he described as “limited, strategic, and focused.”
This matters because Venezuela is a key partner in the expanding BRICS+ orbit. Its deepening alignment with Iran, a nation actively part of the BRICS, raises critical questions about how non-Western alliances are reshaping security dynamics in the Western Hemisphere.

A UAE sheikh known for top hats and Olympic shooting vanished in Mali, captured by an Al-Qaeda-linked group while scouting gold mines on a secret mission. 💰
His goal? Secure control of the Loulo-Gounkoto deposit, which holds 75% of Mali’s known gold reserves, after Western firms like Barrick were expelled. The fallout? A $70 million ransom, prisoner swaps, and a rare rift between Dubai and Abu Dhabi over freelance foreign policy in Africa.
With the UAE now a BRICS partner, this episode reveals how internal Gulf rivalries and resource ambitions could shape the bloc’s influence in strategic regions like West Africa.
Was this a rogue operation—or a signal of how BRICS-aligned states are redefining access to critical minerals?
