Diplomacy and Hobbesian world
Many crimes have been committed worldwide from 1900 to 2026. The War in Iran also stands out as one. This war has turned the Middle Eastern politics on its head, and the post-war global and Middle Eastern political order, it seems, will witness a huge change.

Iran-Russie : Volodymyr Zelensky accuse les Etats-Unis de naïveté face à une coopération militaire anti-occidentale
C'est un élément de plus qui rappelle comment guerres en Iran et en Ukraine sont liées. Dans une interview pour le podcast The Rest Is Politics, Volodymyr Zelensky assure avoir interpellé la Maison-Blanche sur l'étroite collaboration entre Moscou et Téhéran. En vain, selon lui. A en croire le président ukrainien, les États-Unis n'ont pas tenu compte de certains signaux, qui prouvent pourtant que la Russie aide l'Iran à cibler des bases américaines au Moyen-Orient.

Who is Vietnam’s new Prime Minister Le Minh Hung?
On Tuesday, Vietnam’s National Assembly elected a new prime minister. For once, the appointment looks less like a factional compromise than a deliberate bet on competence. Le Minh Hung, born in 1970, is the country’s youngest prime minister since 1955. In a system that often prizes seniority, that alone is striking. More striking still is Hung’s profile: he is not a provincial baron or a deal maker forged in the rough-and-tumble of local politics. Hung is a technocrat with economic training in.....
