Venezuela, Russia, and the return of nuclear signaling
How a distant crisis exposes the fractures of the global order
GOA - At a time when global discourse is saturated with managed outrage and selective morality, certain crises are rendered invisible not because they lack consequence, but because they expose uncomfortable truths about power. Venezuela is one such crisis. Rarely discussed beyond caricatures of authoritarianism or economic failure, it has now re-entered the global stage in a far more unsettling form — as a strategic fault line in an intensifying confrontation between imperial persistence and geopolitical resistance.

Is the UAE sailing Israel’s ship in the Gulf of Aden and the Red Sea?
TEHRAN – The United Arab Emirates has long sought to project itself as a modern, pragmatic power, striking a balance between economic dynamism and regional influence. Yet its deepening partnership with Israel reveals a trajectory that is less about stability and more about embedding Israeli interests into fragile states. From southern Yemen to Somaliland and Sudan, Abu Dhabi’s actions increasingly resemble those of a proxy, enabling Israel’s ambitions in one of the world’s most sensitive maritime corridors.

The limits of pragmatism: Persistent fragility in US-PGCC ties
SHANGHAI - The year of 2025 saw a new rapprochement between the U.S. and PGCC countries. U.S. President Donald Trump visited Saudi Arabia, UAE and Qatar in May while Qatari Emir and Saudi Crown Prince visited the U.S. in the second half of the year. The reasons behind the latest warming-up could be numerous, but the most important should be that the two sides have simultaneously taken pragmatic approaches in their policies toward the other. And pragmatism will underline the relations between the two in the future.

Venezuela and the panic of empire: The return of class war
GOA - When Venezuela’s socialists declare their determination to resist U.S. aggression, they are not issuing a symbolic slogan. They are naming a structural conflict at the heart of the modern world: imperial capitalism versus popular sovereignty. What Donald Trump and the U.S. ruling class dismiss as an “easy target” is in fact a frontline society where the deepest contradictions of global capitalism are exposed — and therefore most feared.
