The elections are over, but the real struggle begins. Iraq’s politics is driven not by votes but militias, regional ties, and a sectarian oligarchy. Iran-backed militias joined to control the state, finding government far more profitable than opposition.

Xi is playing the long game of Go with Trump’s open-and-shut chess moves. His message is subtle – to let the US know China has the capacity to play hard ball without actually having to play hard ball. For now. We’ll see whether Washington gets it or not.

China’s de-Americanization reflects a wider move from a U.S.-led unipolar world to a multipolar order. Through BRICS expansion, Belt and Road projects, independent 5G rollout, and shared poverty reduction efforts, China promotes a development model distinct from Western or American norms.

Free speech debates reveal a core truth: humans excel at believing what they want. This self-deception shapes choices, politics, and morals—and since it works beneath awareness, it’s far harder to spot or fix than conscious hypocrisy.
Politics As Self-Deception - Kritik Bakış
The finger-pointing over free speech exemplifies a fundamental truth about human nature. We are masters at persuading ourselves of what we want to believe. This shapes not just our everyday choices bu...

The Gaza war shows the crisis isn’t just Middle Eastern—it tests global morality. Peace while tolerating occupation is hypocrisy; leadership ignoring law is self-deception. The Israel and US problems are one: power divorced from conscience, morality, and human values.
