Vladimir Putin

The overall goal of breaking apart the unipolar Western system isn’t for equal rights for all but a cover for tyrants to use the emotions of the global south to further their own imperial and kleptocratic ambitions. The multipolar world chaos could become a reality if the traditional parties in the West are not more aware of the geopolitical realities around them.

In a defiant surge against the West’s suffocating sanctions, Russia’s military-industrial complex has kicked into overdrive, churning out a storm of steel and fury with a resilience and lunatic vigor that scoffs at the notion of being crippled.

The destruction of Chinese-made Desertcross 1000-3 ATVs in Ukraine not only reveals critical vulnerabilities in Russia’s military equipment strategy but also underscores the complex interplay of geopolitical relations and defense procurement in modern warfare.

Bangladesh receives uranium fuel from Russia, advancing its nuclear energy-producing ambitions despite international challenges.

North Korea’s Kim Jong Un plans a high-stakes visit to Russia, raising concerns over arms negotiations and regional geopolitics.

Ultimately, the only way to secure Ukraine and the rest of the world from Russian threats is to arm Kyiv with the tools it needs to regain its territory. The more Putin continues to escalate a war in which he still hasn’t reached a single primary objective, the more degraded the Russian military and labor force will be for the next several decades.

Putin’s image has always been a strongman who ‘adores his people’ and is ‘deeply patriotic,’ but his response to the Kursk disaster and the fate of his troops in Ukraine tell the opposite. Decades of bureaucratic practices, negligence, and filling coveted ranks filled with ‘Yes’ men have doomed the Russian military for the next several decades to come.

Buckle up, ladies, and gents, because in this high-stakes game of international intrigue, with Yevgeny Prigozhin, the leader of Russia’s Wagner Group, going rogue, it’s not just a wrench in the gears – it’s a hand grenade in a Russian powder keg.

Even as the Russian bear braves a chilly winter of leadership challenges, it must remember, “Trust in God, but keep your powder dry.”

With various possibilities, the attack on the Kremlin has left more answers than questions, but the world, including Russian society now knows how vulnerable their fortress truly is. With Putin residing in a bunker after the strike, his strongman aura is diminishing every day the war continues, which brings the possibility that the man who labeled himself a reincarnated ‘Peter the Great’ could very much end up with the fate of Tsar Nicholas II.

Ukraine’s military launched a devastating strike on New Year’s Day hitting a building housing recently mobilised Russian soldiers in the occupied region of Donetsk.

It has been a turbulent year in Russian-Kazakh relations. Russia’s oil rich neighbour, which straddles central Asia and eastern Europe, started the year by asking for Russia’s help in restoring stability after protests erupted in its major cities.
