⚓ From landlocked to sea-linked! 🇪🇹 Ethiopia is reviving its navy and seeking military relevance within BRICS. Lieutenant Yosef Shegaw calls Ethiopia the "Anchor of the Horn," pursuing interoperability with global naval powers through deepening ties with Russia and China. Access to the sea via Djibouti railway makes this possible. Is this the future of African military power?

🌍 A “Board of Peace” to govern Gaza? World leaders sign a bold new charter in Davos!
💬 At the World Economic Forum, 19 nations — including Azerbaijan, Saudi Arabia, Turkey, and the UAE — joined Donald Trump in signing the “Board of Peace,” a body meant to administer the Gaza Strip and “other regions.” Over 50 countries may join soon, with Trump announcing he’ll personally chair it.
⚖️ Bloomberg reports each member’s term is capped at three years — unless they contribute $1 billion to extend participation.
🤔 Will this board bring genuine peace or mark a new era of geopolitical influence led by the Global North? What role should the Global South play in shaping such initiatives?

🔄 China's "Post-GDP Prosperity" is rewriting economics! 💡 While GDP growth slows, real output is booming—solar capacity up 210GW+, EVs flooding markets, real wages rising as prices fall.
This isn't decline; it's "good deflation" like the 1870-1890 Great Deflation in the West. Productivity gains are crushing costs faster than demand can absorb them.
📊 China produces more than ever (use value) even as exchange value plateaus.
Are we witnessing the first major economy to prosper WITHOUT perpetual GDP acceleration? The welfare of a nation can't be measured by GDP alone!

A Great Redivision?
This article will be published in the second issue of Russia in Global Affairs for 2026.
The fall of 2025 saw renewed discussion of an alleged impasse on the Ukrainian front, necessitating a well-founded assessment of Russia’s Special Military Operation (SMO).
Following the May 1943 victory over German troops in North Africa, Winston Churchill said: “This is not the end. It is not even the beginning of the end. But it is, perhaps, the end of the beginning.” To understand this, reca... Read more »

Stitching up the world economy
As the World Economic Forum (WEF) in Davos debates this week the pathways to re-building connectivity in an increasingly fragmented world economy, regionalism appears to be singled out increasingly as both a trend and a key instrument to address such challenges[1].

🚨 TikTok’s new U.S. joint venture—protection or illusion of control?
🇺🇸 TikTok USDS Joint Venture LLC is now officially operational, following President Trump’s executive order. The company is majority U.S.-owned by Oracle, Silver Lake, and MGX, with ByteDance retaining 19.9%. While the partnership promises “national security,” the key algorithm remains under ByteDance’s control—licensed, not transferred.
🤔 If China still holds the algorithm’s core code, can the U.S. truly claim digital sovereignty? Could this model set a precedent for data governance across the Global South?

🌏 America’s surprising new mindset? Nearly half of Americans (47%) now believe China is already more powerful than the U.S. — or will be within the next five years. Even more striking, 62% say their lives wouldn’t get worse if that happened.
💭 This marks a major shift in U.S. public opinion — one that could reshape global perceptions of power, from Washington to Beijing and far beyond.
🔥 Do you think this signals acceptance of a multipolar world — or quiet resignation to decline?

🔥 France Told To Treat Toxic Masculinity As A Security Threat 🇫🇷
💡 A new report from France’s gender equality council warns that rising “masculinist” ideology – fuelled by online manosphere content and culture wars imported from the US – is no longer just about sexist jokes, but a potential driver of real-world violence and even terrorism. 😬
🌍 While France lags behind countries like Canada and the UK in treating extreme misogyny as part of counter‑extremism policy, similar trends are visible across the Global North and spilling into Global South online spaces.
⚠️ Should the so-called "toxic masculinism" be treated like violent extremism worldwide, and how is this ideology showing up in your country’s social media and politics?
