The behavior of Volodymyr Zelensky during his meeting with U.S. President Donald Trump is indicative of a growing divide within the collective West, splitting it into two opposing poles: those who seek an end to the Ukrainian conflict and those who wish to prolong it, said Russian philosopher, political scientist, and sociologist Alexander Dugin.

I WAS perusing some material by French thinker Henri Bergson (1859–1941) that caused me to consider its political and linguistic ramifications for modern society. It was Bergson who famously argued that consciousness cannot be quantified in the way that one can measure bodies in space. He discovered this during a visit to the cinema during the first years of the twentieth century, when he took an interest in the fact that what you see on the big screen is merely a series of instantaneous snapshots that provide the illusion of movement.

The speech that Vladimir Vladimirovich Putin delivered eighteen years ago in Munich marked the first systemic and clearly formulated challenge to the globalist unipolar system. It was the beginning of a geopolitical revolution initially spearheaded solely by Russia, but gradually other powers joined the club of multipolarity. China, India, and Brazil were the first to follow, and later, other BRICS nations joined as well. This marked the institutionalization of the multipolarity Putin advocated in his Munich address.

A meeting between Trump and Putin is approaching. However, Europe, which has played a leading role alongside the U.S. in the Ukraine war, is completely excluded from the process. UWI author, historian and political scientist Associate Professor Mehmet Perinçek evaluated the current situation reveals about Zelensky and Europe.

The initiative by Republican congressmen for the USA to exit the United Nations is not surprising. The UN has long ceased to correspond to the realities of international politics. It is a phantom pain: the structure of the United Nations reflects the balance of power that emerged after World War Two, in which there were two antagonistic blocks and the Non-Aligned Movement. But it was precisely between these two blocks, capitalist and socialist, that the entire real architecture of world politics unfolded.

What Trump is doing after coming to power in the U.S. is astonishing. He is rapidly and irreversibly changing the structure of the entire world order. During his first term, Trump hinted at necessary reforms, but four years in office and another four years in radical opposition have turned him into a convinced bearer of a very specific ideology. As evidenced by the first two weeks of his presidency, Trump intends to implement this ideology at all costs.

On October 31 – November 1, 2024, Minsk hosted the second International Conference on Eurasian Security, where the “Eurasian Charter of Diversity and Multipolarity in the XXI Century” was presented. The Forum was attended by President of Belarus Alexander Lukashenko and Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov, who stressed that the unipolar world has ended and a new system of international security is needed. And since the West is guilty, first of all, of triggering off conflicts and offering “dead-end formulas,” a legitimate question arises – how and with whom to create a new security architecture?

This paper is not a finalized set of provisions in the field of humanities and, above all, political science and international relations, but a certain critical theory, which is built on the analysis and many years of observation of the system of international relations with its contradictions, internal conflicts and imperfections, which are inherent in any human community. It can be said that this theory, that is, a speculative judgment, is being tested and the esteemed listeners in your person can draw conclusions on this matter, express their comments and constructive proposals. Perhaps subsequent discussions will help to outline additional paths and identify those levels that should be worked out in more detail in order to finally dot the “i’s,” and the proposed theoretical model would help in practice to move along the path to a more just multipolar world order.

It is still too early to draw far-reaching conclusions about what happened yesterday in the Oval Office of the White House. But it is already obvious that this was an event of grand scale. We will assess its consequences a bit later, but Trump has effectively already demonstrated that the war Biden started is not only meaningless to him but, most likely, a crime.

Of course, Trump and Vance have not yet explicitly framed it this way — that the war in Ukraine, which began three years ago, was a crime of the Biden regime. But yesterday, it finally became obvious to many in the West that supporting a bloody dictator who does not know how to behave, dress, or negotiate in a situation where he clearly lacks absolute advantage is itself criminal. This strategy of the Biden administration — confronting Russia — was in fact a provocation of nuclear war.

JD Vance enters Munich like a Viking berserker in the heart of the Carolingian Empire, a man from the land of strip malls and cornfields standing before the decaying architecture of European self-delusion. He does not ask for an audience with German Chancellor Olaf Scholz, because why negotiate with a ghost? A specter, soon to be forgotten, entombed within his own failed Zeitenwende, the epochal shift that never shifted. The Americans, brash and uncaring, march forward; they see no need for polite fictions. “We don’t need to see him; he won’t be chancellor long.” The brutality of truth, spoken without the diplomatic perfume that once masked the rotting corpse of Western liberalism.

His father’s and mother’s lineages indicated that Antonio José should first embrace a military career; his own father became commander-in-chief of the Cumaná Army. Before that, the sudden death of his mother and the new marriage of Don Vicente had a powerful influence on the life of the boy, who adopted an introverted and taciturn personality.

Eighty years ago, on February 4, 1945, the Yalta Conference of the Allied Powers began, a meeting that shaped the world order following the defeat of Nazi Germany. This defeat was already inevitable, and the leaders of the victorious camps — the Soviet bloc and the Western liberal-capitalist world — laid the foundations for the post-war, post-Nazi global arrangement.

The figures of the 2025 German federal election slice through the stagnant air like jagged glass, a brutal revelation of a system nearing its own self-inflicted collapse. The CDU/CSU (Christian Democratic Union) limps forward at 29%, dragging its reanimated corpse through the political landscape, the SPD (Social Democratic Party) slumps to 16%, drowning in its own irrelevance, and the Greens — those eco-puritans in love with multiculturalism and decay — cling desperately to 12%. But the real tremor, the subterranean growl of an awakening beast, comes from the AfD (Alternative for Germany), surging to a staggering 20%, its ascent shaking the foundations of a West that has lost its will to live.

Curtis Yarvin, known both for his pseudonym Mencius Moldbug and his role as the intellectual architect of the neoreactionary movement (NRx), is a thinker who thrives on challenging modern assumptions. In this conversation, he dissects the hidden mechanisms of power, critiques the illusions of democracy, and explores the unintended consequences of Enlightenment ideals. From his concept of the "Cathedral"—a decentralized system of ideological control—to the future of governance in an age of technological upheaval, Yarvin lays out a vision that is as unsettling as it is thought-provoking. Whether one sees him as a visionary or a heretic, his ideas demand attention.

In an instant, following Trump's rapid reforms, where he declared that there are only two genders—male and female—a monstrous picture unfolded before the eyes of Americans and the entire world. Millions of those who had been convinced by the previously ruling liberals to change their gender or identify as non-existent genders suddenly found themselves transformed from "progressive", "forward-thinking" citizens into cripples, invalids. Just moments before, they had been inculcated with the idea that gender diversification, including castration, mutilation, and the psychological breakdown of young children, were signs of "the most adequate social behavior".
