Crisis in the Geopolitics of MENA: The More Things Change, the More They Stay the Same
A year ago, the Middle East region was in a state of flux in certain ways, but seemed to be stabilising in others. Confrontation paradigms were giving way to what seemed to be de-escalation plans: Normalisation of relations between Saudi and Iran, and the widening of the Abraham Accords, among others. October 7 upended all of that - or did it? Dr HA Hellyer will examine how things have changed - and how, indeed, they’ve stayed the same.

Are Islam and Malay culture in Southeast Asia becoming more Arabised?

In the last decade, rulers in Gulf regimes have aspired to greater strategic autonomy and putting some distance between them and the West.

Middle East can be a peaceful region as long as US government behaves sensibly and refrains from stirring internal problems. One of the key things the US government can do for the sake of peace in the Middle-east as well as other parts of the world is NOT to sell military weapons and military technology to other countries. Can US government do that? Obviously and deliberately NO. Why? US government has no interest at all to witness the world at peace despite the usual cliche such as "United States is committed to defending democracy and the free world to ensure peace......blah, blah, blah" uttered by many key American politicians including Presidents; Secretaries of State; etc Very often, American government and its undisciplined media would not hesitate to create LIES and stir internal trouble to justify United States intervention, covert and /or overt. For example, US government continuously smears China to justify the creation of AUKUS; to justify establishment of NATO presence in Asia; etc. Unfortunately Asia has Eunuch-like governments of Japan under PM Kishida; of South Korea under President Yoon and of Philippines under President Marcos. The decisions of these three Eunuch-like Asian Heads of State in toeing the US government's line will bring trouble to Asia. US government is definitely eyeing Thailand as its next sphere of influence. Asia is under Threat and the Threat is United States of America.

xAlthough< I have interests in global economics I don't watch the news anymore... I have enough FUD. Thanks for this news and offering your insight on how to navigate during unfortunate times/events like this. You're right about keeping level headed when investing so that's why I think it's important to limit the amount of FUD we consume. I don't watch the media but the news that you present has enough to know issues going on without riding the emotional rollercoaster if I were to watch the news everyday. Now I buy and just trade long term more than ever, I have made over 17` btc from day trading with Mercal Anderson Signal in few weeks, this is one of the best medium to backup your assets incase it goes bearish.... For crypto related issues Mercal Anderson can be reached on ͲeIєɠɾαm👉Macsignals.
Never knew I would be who I am today after so much suffering I saw a post about your platform and I took a step to try if it's going to work, you change my life and now, I'm so much satisfied with my life now. I just want to share your good work and let the world know how great you're.. Mr Mercal Anderson
Brilliant analysis of the different things to watch for on the different time frames. Good to see everyone feels the same way when they loose money, everyone thinks they could do this or that with that money which is as good as gone, Instead people refuse to seek help from professionals. Mercal Anderson set to be different and unique, i made about 9btc already from day trading, all i did was to copy his daily signals, am done having heart breaks holding and trading
Understanding <,,the market is very difficult when you have limited knowledge, after seeing profit my friend made in a month trading with his strategy i gave it a try, made good profit, must confess it is so overwhelming. Thanks Mr Mercal Anderson

Secularism in the form of a Republican constitutional government for Lebanon is the solution.
Guess what? It's already secular But People in the middle east are more loyal to their tribe and religion than the secular state. You have to understand the situation then propose a solution, not vice-versa.
So you're basically saying let's just impose some secular laws which no one agrees on but we'll just ram them down people's throats anyway, right!
