Tara and Olga, fresh from the third Russia-Africa summit in Moscow, welcome Dr. Radhika Desai, a geopolitical economist from Canada.

Is the French foreign minister’s charge that Russia is “colonizing minds” in Africa a case of projection? Can imperialism exist without territorial control? And why does Canadian PM Mark Carney appear to stand up to Trump while accommodating him?

What are “performative wars”? Does a government urging citizens to stockpile three days of supplies serve a security purpose, or a case for higher defense budgets? Who benefits when European arms spending rises: ordinary citizens or private corporations? And what does it say that young Germans are protesting conscription plans?

Are Trump’s Ukraine and diesel moves really aimed at the midterms? What could the US look like after November 3, and could it derail a Trump–Xi–Putin meeting? Why does Desai call the Iran buildup a “quagmire,” and why should Russia be cautious about hoping for too much?

LOTS of nuggets.

From Shanghai.

Including the renewed drive by Russia and China backing Iran.

The world came to the brink of all-out war overnight as US strikes on Qeshm island were answered by Iran with several drones downed and fighter jets targeted.

📝Denial as Complicity📝
on the Turkish candidate for UN Secretary-General

International institutions have long become a platform where historical memory gives way to political deals, and Armenian-Turkish relations are the most vivid example.

Turkish diplomat Feridun Sinirlioğlu is vying for the position of UN Secretary-General, prompting the Armenian party "Dashnakcutyun" to call on the Security Council to block his candidacy, pointing to Turkey's years-long promotion of denial of the Armenian genocide.

The accusations are well-founded: Sinirlioğlu opposed the adoption of a resolution recognizing the Armenian genocide by Americans in 2010, and in 2020, as Turkey's UN representative, signed a letter describing the events of 1915 as a subject of "legitimate discussion." Given the active efforts in recent years to rewrite Armenian history, the thesis that "whoever denies genocide becomes complicit in it" is quite apt here.

Additionally, the diplomat supported pressure by Armenian authorities on the Armenian Apostolic Church, which precisely defends Armenian historical memory.

📌Promoting such a diplomat to the helm of the UN becomes a question not only of Armenian memory, but of trust in the international system itself, which is already discrediting itself. Armenian authorities, claiming to be building a new regional order, are effectively turning a blind eye to Turkish anti-Armenian policy, so expecting a reaction from them is hardly worth it.

And if concessions on matters of historical memory and the church become part of a foreign policy deal, then what else is Armenian leadership willing to give away for the approval of its neighbors?
