US rakes in flurry of profits in time of war

Washington's unspoken calculations behind Russia-Ukraine conflict
For anyone with a sense of humanity and some knowledge of history, it is sad to witness Russia and Ukraine, two independent countries boasting the same Slavic origin, drawn into a military conflict -- but not for politicians in Washington.

EU needs stronger strategic autonomy for more secure future
Perhaps the Europeans need to seriously rethink whether a wantonly expanding NATO is truly conducive to peace and stability in Europe in the long run. The newly approved "Strategic Compass" offers a clue that the EU is well aware of its need of stronger strategic autonomy, not weaker.

Ukraine crisis mirrors US' base role on international stage (V)
Injustice is doomed to destruction. We advise the US side to do some serious soul-searching, stop pouring oil on the Ukraine issue, and take concrete actions to mitigate the situation and solve the problem. Otherwise, it will only expand the scale of the humanitarian crisis and plunge the region and the world into an abyss of suffering.

Washington makes waves with Russia-Ukraine conflict only to leave world suffer
A month has passed since Russia launched a "special military operation" in Ukraine. The United States has not only failed to take practical measures to de-escalate the situation, but continued to "fan the flames" through weapon assistance and sanctions.

Ukraine crisis affects European security
That Ukraine has been reduced into the forefront of major-country confrontation has also hurt Europe. Against such a backdrop, creating a balanced, valid and sustainable European security architecture seems far beyond reach. In the current entanglement, how to realize "strategic independence" and "lasting peace" in the real sense is a question the Europeans should really think about.

Washington breaches what it preaches
To salvage itself from a credit bust, Washington is faced with two choices: to quit using human rights as weapons to destabilize and smear other countries and focus instead on rectifying its own human rights abuses, or perhaps, to sanction itself first so as to disprove the "double standard" charges often leveled at it by people across the world.

Ukraine crisis mirrors US' base role on international stage (IV)
Such tricks of confusing right and wrong and manipulating public opinions seriously deviate from the basic norms governing international relations and the human values of honesty and honor.

Ukraine crisis mirrors US' base role on international stage (III)
Historical facts tell us that "hegemony" and "expansion" are in the American DNA. The country was born and bred in war, slavery and slaughter on its way to becoming a superpower, and has made its way to the center stage of the international arena through numerous wars.

U.S. belligerence stems from its fixation on hegemony, says Iranian scholar

US military bio-research violates international law
As a party to the BTWC and a permanent member of the UN Security Council, the US is obliged to comply with the BTWC and international law. So it should not only abide by the BTWC and other international conventions but also allow global investigation into its biological facilities.

Ukraine crisis mirrors US' base role on international stage (II)
We advise the US side to abandon the Cold War mindset and ideological bias, stop forming gangs and cliques against the trend of the time, and stop splitting the world through bloc opposition under the disguise of multilateralism. It had better make some serious self-reflection, otherwise, a disgraceful failure will be its only destiny.

Biological military activities are a major threat to international peace and security, as well as all countries' security interests.

Ukraine crisis mirrors US' base role on international stage
Inciting the Ukraine crisis is a carefully planned and crafted move by the US, through which it can not only besiege Russia but also take over European affairs and make a fortune selling weapons into the bargain. What a perfect deal!

India-France defense cooperation out of different considerations
India and France have seen their defense relation warming up. After signing the Defense Cooperation Agreement in 2006, the two countries have intensified collaboration in military and diplomacy, defense industry, technology R&D, personnel training, and many other areas.

What the U.S. needs to learn about its liberalism from the Ukraine crisis

Why is EU so eager to chill Ukraine situation?
Ukraine has come under the spotlight lately, getting Russia and the US locking horns, the UK, Japan and several other countries fanning up flames on Washington's side, and the EU on the fly to chill down the situation.

America's overseas troops sabotage regional stability
America's obsession with the power of force and insistence on sending more troops overseas despite its overall decline is neither good for itself nor conducive to world peace and stability. It will only find itself the target of more criticism and objection if it continues to cling to the Cold War mindset and stir up regional turmoil out of selfish purposes.

Japan's accelerated military buildup signals danger
Japan is no longer beating about the bush about its intention to break away from military restrictions and accelerate military development. The force and credibility of its Pacifist Constitution have long been compromised and some Japanese politicians are all but wearing the words "confrontation" and "militarism" on their foreheads.

Who really needs a war on Ukraine?
Washington has long been using the Ukraine crisis as a tool to expand its clout in the region. Even if no real war breaks out, the U.S., by stoking regional tensions and playing up Russia's military buildup, could still upgrade Western hostility against the Russian government and in the meantime shape its image as a peacekeeper.

EU's strategic independence still in a distance
What the US has done in the past year, from tapping the leaders of European allies to pulling troops out of Afghanistan without prior notice to stealing Australia's nuclear submarine contract from France, has increasingly made the EU realize its lack of strategic independence.

Kishida's protest against lax US military COVID testing only panders to domestic audience
In terms of Kishida's response, "his anger and protest are primarily a show put up to the domestic public, in an attempt to appease their discontent and anxiety," Yang Xiyu, a senior research fellow at the China Institute of International Studies in Beijing, told the Global Times, "But Kishida should be clearly aware that such protest cannot fundamentally change the inequalities between Tokyo and Washington."

US still stalling reviving of Iran deal
Some recent developments on the geopolitical front in the Middle East have also indicated that tension and acrimony between the contestant parties to the Iran deal, instead of showing signs of abating, remain acute.

Why Russia withdraws from Treaty on Open Skies?
The exit by the US and Russia from the Treaty on Open Skies exerts the greatest impacts on European countries as the treaty is not only a measure to build trust and reduce the risk of conflicts, but also a symbol of building a new Europe through intensified cooperation. Therefore, what America's act of "tearing up treaties and pulling out of organizations" hurts first and most is the confidence in the security of NATO's European members.

To the U.S., collateral damage is part of war games
The callousness of the American war machine was revealed over the weekend by an exposé published in the New York Times (NYT) showing Pentagon admitted that the Defense Department had "drastically undercounted" civilian deaths over the years, and that the U.S. air war in the Middle East was marked by "deeply flawed intelligence."

America's War on Terror breeds domestic terrorism
To tackle terrorist groups overseas, the U.S. has launched regional wars over the past 20 years, including attacks on Iran, Iraq, Afghanistan and Yemen.

Despite the vastly different positions of the various parties, Moscow still took the initiative to break the security deadlock with NATO.

US-Japan alliance regional destabilizer
Given Japan's enthusiasm for its Self-Defense Forces to participate in US-led military drills in the region and reports that a missile base on Ishigaki Island has begun to take shape, Washington should remain mindful of Beijing's redline when playing its games with Tokyo and the island's secessionists, and not allow itself to get carried away.
