Opinion | How Trump's Iran disaster 'burst the bubble of American omnipotence' Ali Wyne, an analyst at the International Crisis group, told the Associated Press (AP), that Donald Trump's belief he could wipe out the Iranian regime with a "show of force" was meant to "intimidate Beijing" but "instead served to puncture the illusion of U.S. omnipotence: Unable to reopen the Strait of Hormuz alone, Washington now needs its principal strategic competitor to help it manage a crisis of its own making."

Opinion | South Korea finally learns the US is not the 'ironclad' ally it claims to be For years, every US-Republic of Korea Presidential summit is peppered with the flowery language of a so-called "ironclad" alliance, which every time is ritually proclaimed to be "deepening" and "strengthening" no matter what the actual circumstances may be. As a part of this alliance, originally created to protect the country from North Korea, South Korea hosts tens of thousands of American troops and pays them billions for the privilege of doing so, catering to Washington's demands to pay even more if necessary.

Opinion | Why the US can never escape the Middle East Quagmire For over 35 years, American foreign policy has been unable to distance itself from becoming a major party to conflicts in the Middle East. Since 1991 the US has participated in the Gulf War (1991-1992), the Iraq invasion (2003), the Al-Qaeda insurgency in Iraq (2003-2009), the war against ISIS (2014-2017) and now, the Iran conflict (2026). This only includes direct US participation, and not the countless more occasions where it has been a behind-the-scenes player.

Opinion | The vindication of North Korea When Donald Trump threatened North Korea with "fire and fury" in 2017 if they did not denuclearize, it unleashed global shock and unease. The President was seemingly only bluffing in his threats, but his actions today against Iran beg to differ. Of course, the two situations are not quite the same. Even back then, the DPRK had a nuclear capability and more explicit protection from China, yet Trump's unhinged threats were enough to usher Kim Jong-un toward diplomacy, manifesting in a series of flashy summits from 2018 to 2019 that ultimately resulted in nothing.

Opinion | Trump has made the biggest strategic mistake of his presidency Emboldened by his swift capture of Maduro, Trump has given in to Israeli lobbying and believed he could readily topple the Iranian regime. Now he finds himself locked in to the very kind of war he vowed to "avoid" with catastrophic consequences for the global economy.

Opinion | The polarisation and fragmentation of British politics The Green Party has emerged victorious in the Gorton & Denton by-election held in Greater Manchester. It is the first-ever by-election party for the left-wing party, led by Zack Polanski, who has seen its popularity surge by exploiting dissatisfaction with the Labour Party over perceived right-wing policies from Prime Minister Keir Starmer. Indeed, Starmer is suffering from record low popularity, and it is little surprise his party ended up finishing 3rd in what was statistically one of his safest seats, even finishing behind Reform UK.

Opinion | How the 'China dream' dried up for Germany German Chancellor Friedrich Merz is currently visiting Beijing, China, on an official trip, accompanied by a large delegation of business chiefs. Merz's trip comes amidst a geopolitical fudge for Europe, whereby leaders tilted towards the United States amidst Russia's war in Ukraine, but were abruptly reminded of the importance of relations with China following Trump's global-scale trade war.
