For a Sneak Preview of New Turkish Designs on Syria, Feature What’s Happening in the Greek Islands

Jan 9, 2025 | nysun.com | Anthony Grant

January in Syria will likely be less dramatic than the previous month which saw a dictator’s departure, but that doesn’t mean regional powers are going into hibernation — far from it. Earlier this week the dominant post-Assad power broker in the region, Turkey, made it clear that it will not hesitate to jump in and wield such power as it sees fit.

ATHENS ‚ÄĒ Reports of Europeans‚Äô fascination with the American election are not exaggerated. The only thing dominating the news cycle more in recent days is the torrential rain in Spain ‚ÄĒ which, as it turns out, does not fall mainly on the plain. With that storm passed, the way is open for whatever blows in next from the other side of the Atlantic.
Hezbollah Lashes Out at the BBC for Violating Lebanese Territory and Sovereignty, While the Terrorists Violate Lebanese Sovereignty

Oct 15, 2024 | nysun.com | Anthony Grant

Hezbollah, the Iran-backed Shiite terrorist organization based in Lebanon, may be on its way out the door, but for the moment it still has a âmedia relations officeâ and somebody there isnât happy. The reason is that a crew from the BBC, accompanied by the IDF, visited Israelâs âcombat zoneâ in southern Lebanon on Sunday, which for Hezbollah was shocking and highly offensive.

Thursday here in Athens, the town where democracy began, saw the final day of a three-day gabfest called the Athens Democracy Forum, where a suave Jordan Bardella of France’s National Rally sat down for a chat with the New York Times star, Roger Cohen.

Tacos at Gleneagles or Movies With an Acropolis View? Hotels Are Where It's At

From New York to Barcelona, a big backlash against Airbnb is afoot. There are a number of reasons for that, but I know why I will never use the short-term rental platform. In the first instance, a bad experience at a misleadingly described property in Cyprus once nearly resulted in a car chase and police intervention. The second is that Airbnb has a fundamental misunderstanding about hotels: they are integral parts of a community, not phantom interlopers. At least, the good ones are.

May 21, 2024 | nysun.com | Anthony Grant

As of now there are about a thousand American soldiers deployed in Niger as part of the fight against jihadist forces in the region, but by the middle of September they will likely all be gone. The ruling junta has given Washington four months to vacate everyone from Niger Air Base 201, a $100 million drone air base that is near the remote town Agadez. It is owned by Niger but financed, and was built, by America.
Four Months Into the War Against Hamas, the IDF Is Far Outperforming American Expectations, Report Says

Feb 16, 2024 | nysun.com | Anthony Grant

What is for some a slow go and daunting political landmine is for others a bigger success story than has been publicly acknowledged — namely, Israel’s war against Hamas in Gaza, and the American outlook on it could be about to change.

Nov 6, 2023 | nysun.com | Anthony Grant
