TRUMP’S LEGAL TROUBLES

  1. Hush money payments to porn star Stormy Daniels, during his 2016 campaign
  2. Georgia election tampering probe: Trump’s  alleged efforts to overturn his 2020 election defeat in that state. Trump asks Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger to "find" enough votes needed to overturn Trump's election loss in Georgia. Legal experts said Trump may have violated at least three Georgia criminal election laws: conspiracy to commit election fraud, criminal solicitation to commit election fraud and intentional interference with performance of election duties.

NEW RUSSIAN FOREIGN POLICY DOCTRINE

Russia has adopted a new foreign policy doctrine that prioritizes reforming world politics away from the hegemony of the United States and its Western allies and supporting countries that choose to fight neocolonialists and foreign interference.

HOW RUSSIA’S CONSTITUTION HINDERS PEACE

Author: Dr. Andreas Umland, Analyst with the Stockholm Center for Eastern European Studies (SCEEUS) at the Swedish Institute of International Affairs (UI)

There are numerous reasons why negotiations to end Russia’s invasion of Ukraine are unlikely to be successful, but one stumbling block is particularly serious and rarely mentioned.

POLARIZATION OF OPINIONS AND POSITIONS WITHIN THE RUSSIAN SOCIETY

A careful reading of popular Russian attitudes toward the war reveals important nuances that all too often are overlooked. First and foremost is the fact that rather than consolidating Russian society, the conflict has exacerbated existing divisions on a diverse array of issues, including support for the regime. Put another way, the impression that Putin now has the full support of the Russian public is simply incorrect.

NUCLEAR SHARING

Nuclear sharing is a concept in NATO’s  policy of nuclear deterrence, which allows member countries without nuclear weapons of their own to participate in the planning for the use of nuclear weapons by NATO. In particular, it provides for the armed forces of those countries to be involved in delivering nuclear weapons in the event of their use.

COUNTERING PUTIN'S PROPAGANDA NARRATIVES

The Ukraine war has become an existential crisis for Russia. Its senior leadership now appears to be talking in apocalyptic terms about the risk of Russia’s very survival, and to be on a messianic mission of which Ukraine is only part of the picture. The Kremlin’s framing sees Russia not only pitted against the West, but acting as the vanguard and protector of a collective civilization under attack, through the retelling of historical memory that casts Russia as the aggressor.

THIRD COUNTRY LOBBYING AT EU LEVEL

The EU is being influenced by foreign actors. The EU currently shapes policy in areas such as data privacy, consumer health and safety, environmental protection, competition, and online hate speech. Lobbying is an important way for third country actors, both public and private, to influence in these same areas. The EU’s chemical policy is one policy area where non-EU actors have actively attempted to shape the making of EU’s chemicals law and policy. Another recent example is Big Tech, the largest lobbyist in the EU measured by spending.
