There are people who argue that Vladimir Putin's war on Ukraine is not motivated by fears or imperial ambitions, but by other countries' disrespect. Russia once commanded authority as one of the world's two superpowers, but it has since forfeited that status. It knows it has lost the respect of other countries (Barack Obama famously dismissed Russia as just a regional power), and the Ukraine war is its way of winning it back.

Qatar warns daily Israeli breaches threaten entire agreement put forward by US President Donald Trump.

When are we going to get the message? I joked a few months back that, when it comes to Donald Trump, Europe needs to learn from Sex and the City's Miranda Hobbes and realise that He's just not that into you. After this past week, it's clear that understates the problem. Trump's America is not merely indifferent to Europe it's positively hostile to it. That has enormous implications for the continent and for Britain, which too many of our leaders still refuse to face.

Denmark's military intelligence service raised concerns for the first time about the United States in its annual threat assessment, saying in a report released Wednesday that shifts in American policy are generating new uncertainties for Denmark's security.

Yeah, we are the world's No. 1 bully, and we're using our immense, unrivaled power to rule over those who have less power. And we're doing it with impunity, declared Johnson. And this sends a shocking message to the world that America is indeed the-, what did they used to call? The great hand of Satan, or something like that? I mean, America under the Trump regime is demonstrating that that moniker was entirely accurate.

Maria Corina Machado has made U.S. foreign policy the central platform of her strategy to bring about a transition in Venezuela. Since July 28, 2024, when the opposition presented the official records declaring Edmundo Gonzalez Urrutia, Machado's chosen representative, the winner of the presidential election, the most troublesome opposition figure for Chavismo has received a new boost: renewed attention from Washington.

... and I hate to see that happen. This is one of the great places in the world, and they're allowing people just to come in, unchecked, unvetted.

Looks like Honduras is trying to change the results of their Presidential Election. If they do, there will be hell to pay!

US President Donald Trump claims to be cracking down on drug gangs in Venezuela but has pardoned a Honduran drug lord serving 45 years in the US. As the United States ramps up strikes on Venezuelan boats and threatens a land invasion to fight alleged drug trafficking networks, President Donald Trump has pardoned Honduras's former President Juan Orlando Hernandez and released him from a 45-year prison sentence in the US for weapons and drug trafficking offences.

United States President Donald Trump says he will pardon the former leader of Honduras, Juan Orlando Hernandez, just days before the Central American country's closely contested presidential election. The announcement on Friday came two days before Honduras's vote, in which Trump has endorsed conservative National Party candidate Nasry Tito Asfura. Hernandez was the party's last successful presidential candidate and had served as president from 2014 to 2022. Last year, he was sentenced to 45 years in prison in the US after being extradited from Honduras on charges of drug trafficking.

On this episode of The David Frum Show, The Atlantic 's David Frum opens with his thoughts on the recent gifts given to President Donald Trump by the Swiss government. He argues that the incident is yet another example of Trump's favor being won through personal gifts and another sign of how his administration has forced the United States to abandon its traditional leadership role in the global order, reshaping American foreign policy into something closer to that of an extractive predator state.
