The South Caucasus: The Persian Gulf of Eurasia's future?
An unexpected headline appeared across the media: Ukraine attacked an Iranian vessel in the Caspian Sea. Beyond the military dimensions of the incident, however, a more consequential question emerged: What is Ukraine doing in the Caspian Sea?

Can contemporary developments still be explained through the analytical frameworks of the past, or are we witnessing the emergence of a new security geography in Eurasia?

Despite recent signals from the Trump administration hinting at a desire for a ceasefire, the domestic political realities in both Israel and Iran make an immediate ceasefire unlikely. Regardless of its eventual outcome, this conflict is poised to inflict a deeper and more enduring scar on the international system than its predecessor in Eastern Europe.

Europe’s moral collapse: Ukraine, NATO, and death of a civilization
The real tragedy of Europe is not that it makes mistakes, but that it refuses to learn from them
GOA - The European Union today presents itself as a defender of democracy, human rights, and international law. Yet nowhere is the hollowness of this claim more exposed than in Ukraine.
