On more than one occasion recently, New Eastern Outlook has featured, as have other media outlet publications, what kind of “love” US ambassadors have merited in many countries owing to their behavior and genuinely aggressive countenance, which no diplomatic status can conceal. The publications in media outlets are more frequently…

US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo in a recent video conference suggested that the US might move some of its troops from Germany to the region around India, citing growing US security concerns in the Asian region.

Who Benefits from the Current Mass Demonstrations in the United States?
Today America and Europe in its wake are experiencing nationwide hysteria organized by “liberal political strategists.” The spark for this conflagration was racial hostility, which has been actively used by individual American puppet masters in the US, first to bring about general disorganization in the country, and has then been “skillfully” channeled towards organizing a campaign to prevent a second term for President Donald Trump…

What we Learned about Korean Issues from John Bolton's Memoirs
On 24 June a US court rejected a bid by the US government to block publication of the memoirs of John Bolton, a former national security adviser to US President Donald Trump. It’s worth recalling that John Bolton, the arch-hawk and conservative who was jokingly called the godfather of the DPRK’s nuclear program for his…

Putin, On Historical Revisionism And Its Dangers
Erasmus wrote in his famous work, In Praise of Folly, that ‘man’s mind is so formed that it is far more susceptible to falsehood than to truth’. He could have added that telling falsehoods is the habitual practice of cowards afraid of the power of truth; for such is the state of the world that telling people lies about the world and history to maintain…

Russia did it Again – Chasing the Bounty Hunters
Russia did it again. This time it’s paying to kill Americans. How criminal! Such things only Americans would do – Washington, the Pentagon, CIA…. Because killing is in their mindset and bloodstream. That’s what criminals do: they project their own crimes onto others. The latest NYT reporting is, “It’s not the Taliban that were offered a ‘bounty’ for killing American…

The US is Alone in its ‘Trade War’ on China
With everyday passing, it is becoming clear that the US-China trade deal will eventually unravel, paving the way for a long-term standoff, even if not a full-fledged ‘cold war’, between the two super powers. As recent remarks made by the US National Security Advisor (NSA), Robert O’Brien, showed, the US is planning ‘more steps’ to ‘correct’ its relations…

Political Issues of the Blue Nile
Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, which without warning began ravaging our planet, some important issues have been put on hold. However, they will have to be resolved sooner or later.

The Stage Is Set, the Fight Is Rigged, and The End Is Near
Donald Trump is finished. He’s gone halfway to destroying the office of President of the United States. The “deep state” he swore he would eradicate, they’re massaging the shoulders of truth killer Joe Biden as if to ready him like a has-been boxer about to emerge from a sweaty arena tunnel of American politics. But nobody is talking about the 2020 endgame…

Expectations vs. Reality of Globalization – Time to Reflect in Hard Times
I recently discovered Rock ‘n Roll – a relatively unknown stage play from 2006 by Tom Stoppard, an intellectual playwright. Set in the period between 1968-1990, it addresses the struggle with communism waged by students in Eastern Europe. The play tells the story of brutal censorship in Stoppard’s…

Why is the US Still Sanctioning Syria?
Chinese media highlighted a recent plea by Beijing to the US to lift sanctions against Syria. China’s CGTN in an article titled, “Chinese envoy asks US to lift unilateral sanctions on Syria,” would report: A Chinese envoy on Tuesday asked the United States to immediately lift unilateral sanctions against Syria.

How China is All Set to Fill the ‘US Gap’ in Europe
Given the way the US-European alliance is falling apart rapidly, there is little to no denying that some tectonic changes of global level are likely to take place, paving the way for a kind of multipolar world order to emerge where the US ability to influence the world will decrease massively. A decreasing US influence on Europe and an equally increasing…

Why is China Painted as ‘Capitalist’ by Western Propaganda?
Let us start with the punchline: “Mass media in the United States, Europe, Canada, and Australia is depicting the People’s Republic of China as ‘capitalist’ because ‘capitalist’ is now a dirty word. Even people in the West see ‘market economy’ as some sort of filth.” To call China ‘capitalist’ is to smear China. It is as if to say: “Chinese…

Sinking Ships Deserting Rats Before They Are Eaten Away
We have all heard the phrase, “like rats deserting a sinking ship”. It signifies that when a cause is failing, the least committed members of it leave very quickly to protect themselves, leaving others behind to face the consequences. We do not often hear that “the sinking ship is deserting the rat.” But that is what we are seeing right now. One ship is the US Republican Party…

On April 29, 2020, a 16-year-old African American boy was involved in what institutional staff decided was a dangerous confrontation at a ‘for profit’ child prison run by a politically connected healthcare firm. The child threw a piece of bread and was crushed to the ground, pleading for air, until his breathing stopped, and he went into cardiac arrest in a full George Floyd moment…

Why is this Ongoing American “Revolution” Bound to Fail?
Observed from outer space, the United States is in a revolutionary turmoil. Fires are burning, thousands of people are confronting police and other security forces. There are barricades, banners, posters, and there is rage. Rage is well justified. Grievances run deep, through the veins of a confused and socially insecure population, in both cities and the countryside…
