In my recent interview with TVP World, I discussed Georgia’s deepening political crisis and the protests against the ruling Georgian Dream party. This phase reflects a strategic regrouping – and increased determination. 🔑 Three core demands of the protestors: 1️⃣ New elections under a neutral administration. 2️⃣ Release of political prisoners. 3️⃣ Accountability for election fraud and violence. ⚠️ The controversial appointment of Mikheil Kavelashvili, widely seen as anti-Western and incompetent, sends a provocative message to the West and serves as a punishment to Georgian society. Behind this move lies the influence of oligarch Bidzina Ivanishvili, who controls Georgian Dream and relies on propaganda to gaslight the public and delay consequences. 🌍 However, Georgian Dream’s propaganda has failed to weaken public support for EU and NATO integration. The ongoing protests are a sign of growing cracks in the regime’s narrative. 🤝 A call to Georgia’s Western allies: Rhetoric is no longer enough. Concrete actions, such as sanctions, are needed to support Georgia’s democratic and European future. 🗣 Watch the full interview here: https://lnkd.in/dm2Matda #Georgia #Democracy #EU #NATO #TVPWorld #Politics

Donald Trump's re-election has sparked discussions about the future of the occupied north part of Cyprus. With the speculated isolationist policies of Donald Trump and the re-evaluations of Turkey's relations with the U.S., the European Union might have an opportunity to take a central role into resolving the dispute.

With Trump back in the White House, what will his Iran policy look like? I recently sat down with Murtaza Hussain at Drop Site News to unpack the key dynamics shaping this high-stakes issue. We discussed: 🔹 The competing factions in Trump’s team and their vision for Iran 🔹 What his first term tells us—and what’s changed since then 🔹 Whether a new deal with Iran is even possible With major decisions looming, U.S.-Iran relations could define the early months of a second Trump term.

The meeting between Pakistan's Interior Minister Mohsin Naqvi and Congressman Al Green during Trump’s presidency was a ridiculous act of diplomatic stupidity. Seeking support from a Democrat who spearheaded Trump’s impeachment efforts multiple times was an insult to basic political strategy. It demonstrated a shocking level of incompetence and ignorance, given Green’s complete alienation from Trump’s circle. This tone-deaf move not only achieved nothing but also underscored the appalling failure of Pakistan’s leadership to grasp the simplest realities of US politics, making it an embarrassment on the international stage. Note: The worst part is that all of this is being hailed as a great success in Pakistan's media concerning Pakistan-US relations. https://lnkd.in/ducQPeZ5

As I wrote in italian I use to avoid quite accurately to post or re-post politics matters because I trust NOBODY NOWHERE anymore. BUT in this particular case (and because I define myself as creative anarchy officer) I must mention that :
