The Future of US-Europe Relation

By 873 0

During the Trump regime, the bilateral relationship between the Europe and the United States of America touched its lowest point.

Donald Trump led the US out of the Paris Climate Treaty. He even pushed the country away from the North Atlantic Treaty Organisation.

The political transformation in the US has overturned the situation. Joe Biden, the new President of the United States of America, has led the country back to the Paris Climate Treaty, which attempts to reduce the concentration of green house gases in the atmosphere.

It is said that the new regime in the US is also trying to strengthen its commitment towards the NATO.

What the development indicates is that what is coming is a glorious period of the US-Europe relation.

It is clear that the US does not afford a strained relation with the Europe, especially when the Asian country of China is aggressively trying to increase its influence over the continent.

As against the expectation, the new US regime has heightened the conflict with China. The US has recently criticised China in connection with the South China Sea issue.

The development indicates that the US does not want the Europe to open a cordial relation with China, and it does not want Beijing to replace Washington in the Europe.

China decides not to entertain Hong Kong BOC passports

By 1367 0

The Asian country of China has decided not to encourage Hong Kong citizens to travel with British Overseas Citizenship passports.

The BOC passports, as per the latest policy of China, can no longer be presented as an identification document.

The policy has come shorty after the United Kingdom announced its decision to open its doors for its overseas citizens in Hong Kong.

It was the Chinese crackdown on democratic activists in Hong Kong that forced the European superpower to come to the protection of its overseas citizens in the disputed region.

Hong Kong is going through a tough situation. A large section of the population of the Chinese city is at war with its central leadership.

Hong Kong was an overseas territory of the UK. The European country handed over the territory to China as part of an agreement.

Hong Kong inherited western democratic values from its colonial master. It declined to absorb the values of the new leadership.

Though China, while reaching the agreement with the UK, agreed to protect the values Hong Kong inherited from the European country, post the handing over of power it showed little interest to nourish the values.

The ongoing disturbance in Hong Kong is in reality a conflict between the two dominant value structures.

Can Alexei be equated to Lenin

By 900 0

Recently, certain intellectuals likened the return of Alexei Navalny, the critic of Russian President Vladimir Putin, to the return of Lenin to Moscow ahead of the 1917 October Revolution, which overturned the history of the country.

Can Alexei be equated to Lenin is the big question at this juncture.

It is true that the popularity of Mr. Navalny outside Moscow has considerably increased lately. Earlier, Mr. Navalny was a leader whose influence was considered to the four wall of the capital city of Russia, Moscow.

It is also an undisputed fact that the acceptance of Mr. Navalny has grown outside the circle of youngsters. Earlier, the prime supporters of this opposition leader were youngsters who were angry with the authoritarian way they were ruled. The presence of people from all age groups in the protest developed in the aftermath of the arrest of the leader points to a fact that Mr. Navalny is no longer a leader of youth but is a leader who enjoys the support of all age groups.

Mr. Navalny is a very young leader. He has years before him. The graph of his political career has been steadily increasing since he entered into the turbulent platform in the year 2000.

Germany: Pro-migrant politician’s murderer awarded life imprisonment

By 786 0

A German court has awarded life imprisonment to a far-right leader who has been found guilty for the murder of a pro-migrant politician.

It is the first far-rightist murder crime that has been registered in the country since the year 1920.

The court has also given a punishment to another person in connection with the case. He has been awarded a suspended sentence in the case.

The development has triggered a serious discussion around the subject in the social media platforms.

The European country of Germany is struggling to cope with the rising strength of the far-rightist politics.

The rise of far-rightist politics is not just a German issue, but it is also a serious issue in the entire Europe.

Germany is a very powerful country. Once it was very close to the far-rightist ideology. But, the Second World War overturned the country’s attachment towards the ideology. Adolf Hitler was the last powerful proponent of the ideology. The contribution of this ideology towards the Second World War was very high. In a sense, this ideology was the one which fuelled the war, which brought havoc to the continent of Europe.

China denounces EU’s resolution on Hong Kong crackdown

By 1090 0

The Asian superpower of China has strongly denounced the European Union resolution against the crackdown launched against Hong Kong democratic activists by the Communist Country.

The Communist China has termed the resolution as an interference.

The resolution has been passed by the European Union Parliament. It has demanded sanctions against certain Chinese and Hong Kong officials.

Hong Kong was under the control of the UK. The region, which is situated close to China, was recently handed over to China.

Since the transfer of the territory, China has been slowly injecting its political thought into the region, which inherited a liberal political thought process from its former master.

It is not clear at this moment whether the issue will affect the relation between China and the European Union.

It is less likely China take up a tough retaliatory action against the European Union.

The EU and China maintain a deep economic tie. In that sense, both depend on each other.

Russia begins crackdown on allies of Navalny

By 795 0

The European country of Russia has begun a crackdown on the allies of Alexei Navalny, who was recently arrested by the Russian police in connection with a politically motivated case.

Mr. Navalny is the most powerful opposition leader in the European country of Russia. He recently suffered a serious poison attack.

He was poisoned while he was travelling to Moscow in a domestic air. Initially, when he was treated by Russian doctors, the possibility of the poison attack was ruled out. But when he was moved out of the country to Germany, it was confirmed that he was attacked with an unknown poisonous substance.

While he was in Germany, some serious cases were registered against him. His supporters alleged that the cases were intended to prevent the return of the leader.

Anyway, the cases could not prevent the return of the leader. He was arrested as soon as he returned to his homeland.

The latest crackdown is the latest among the actions the Russian government has initiated in the recent past to reduce the strength of the opposition of the country.

Russia is at present ruled by an authoritarian style system. It cannot tolerate dissent. It simply implies the government likes not to give space to the opposition.

UNHC for Refugees appeals for the US’s support to address the issue of forced displacement

By 856 0

A day after the United States got a new government, the United Nations High Commission for Refugees has appealed for the support of the new administration of the Unites States to address the issue of forced displacement across the world.

Filippo Grandi, UN High Commissioner, says; “We look forward to deepening the strong and trusted partnership with the United States, and to working with the new administration and congress to address the many challenges of forced displacement around the world.”

The refugee crisis is the biggest problem the world is facing at this juncture.

The developed world, especially certain western European countries like Germany and the United Kingdom and certain North American countries such as the United States and Canada, is struggling to handle the issue.

The steady exodus from the under developed world to the developed world is the new normal.

The issue is creating several issues in the developed world in the sense of security as well as in the sense of economy.

What the latest appeal by the UNHC for Refugees implies is that the arm of the UN, which handles the matter of refugee, is interested to work with the developed world, especially the US, to address the global refugee crisis.

Moreover, it also indicates the global organisation views the changed political scenario in the US as a positive development.

EU leaders want vaccination distribution accelerated

By 907 0

Leaders of the European Union have appealed for the acceleration of the distribution of Covid-19 vaccine.

They have requested for a pro rate population distribution. They have also appealed for an equal distribution of the vaccine among the countries in the union.

They have also advised vaccine companies to respect the commitments they have made in connection with the distribution.

The EU is a very powerful economic union. The ongoing vaccination program is the latest test the union faces.

The virus outbreak has inflicted a serious injury on the continent of Europe. It has directly or indirectly affected lakhs and lakhs of people across the continent.

Italy is one of the worst affected countries in the continent.

There were allegations that in the initial stage of the outbreak the union failed to respond in a timely manner.

The confusion generated in the initial stage even threatened the stability of the union, which helped the western world to sail safely through the turbulent waves of the post-War period.

The issue was even raised in the European Parliament.

The vigil the union shows at this juncture is in a sense an effort to avoid the repetition of the initial faults.

It seems that this time the world leaders are extremely vigilant.

By 846 0

French President Emanuel Macron has dismissed the report which suggests that the country would issue an official apology to Algeria for the war crimes committed in the former French colony by the then Colonial France.

During the eight-year-old war – which actually ended in the expel of the colonial master form the colony territory, the Colonial France committed several human rights violations in Algeria.

The decision has received serious criticism. Several people have expressed their criticism loudly.

Many have used the social media platforms to express their disagreement.

Algeria is a former colony of France.

Mr. Macron has however agreed to take initiative to improve the relation between France and Algeria.

At present, France shares a cordial relation with Algeria. In the coming days, the relation between Algeria and France is expected to be improved.

France is a very powerful country in the continent of Europe. Unfortunately, the depressing colonial part of France is still haunting the country.    

It is unfortunate that the French President has not showed the courage to express his country’s apology.

Had the French President extended the apology, he could have improved his global image and acceptance immensely.
