(1 May 2026) (CH-S) The Western media provide little information about the People’s Republic of China’s stance on the war in the Middle East, even though the country is playing a significant behind-the-scenes role in the ceasefire negotiations. Below, we reproduce an article by “Friends of Socialist China” which summarises China’s position.

(1 May 2026) Seen from the outside, we do not perceive the metamorphosis of the United States: in four months, it has changed its political ideology (it is no longer ‘Jacksonian’), its military doctrine (it no longer applies the ‘Rumsfeld-Cebrowski’ strategy), and its faith (it no longer believes in religious pluralism). We are publishing a study on this transformation, which compels us to completely revise our perception of this country.

(24 April 2026) (CH-S) It is no small matter when our large neighbour to the north concludes a close arms agreement with the Ukrainian Zelenskyy leadership. This makes Germany a party to the war, as the following article by Sevim Dagdelen shows.
Through the SkyShield agreement and the procurement of ground-based air defence systems, Switzerland became closely linked to the German Federal Ministry of Defence in July 2025.1 The consequences of such agreements are now becoming clear. Germany is increasingly becoming an active party to the war.

(17 April 2026) On 28 February 2026, the United States and Israel jointly launched an illegal military campaign against Iran. Within hours, Iranian drones and missiles struck Manama, Abu Dhabi, Riyadh, and installations across Kuwait and Qatar – although the Gulf monarchies had not declared war on Iran. Several issued statements calling for restraint. But their capitals got hit anyhow, and the reason was not difficult to understand: these countries host the military bases from which American forces were (partially) prosecuting the illegal attacks on Iran.
