When Donald Trump returned to the Oval Office in 2025, his presidency wasted no time reviving one of the most ambitious and controversial military initiatives in US history. Within weeks of inauguration, Trump signed an executive order launching the “Golden Dome,” a sweeping missile defense shield designed to protect the United States from ballistic and hypersonic threats through a complex web of land, sea, air, and – most significantly – space-based systems.

In a stark reiteration of Russia’s long-standing narrative on the Ukraine conflict, President Vladimir Putin claimed on May 26 that Moscow was “forced” to initiate its military operation in Ukraine, citing years of Western interference and the persecution of Russian-speaking populations in Donbass as the root causes of the war.

Gaza’s Inferno: Where History Speaks in Flames | The Asian Age Online, Bangladesh

1 week ago | dailyasianage.com | M A Hossain

There are terms in moral discourse that demand careful, even reverent use. "Holocaust" is one of them. It is not merely a description of mass death; it is a singular moral indictment: a systematic, bureaucratically organized, and ideologically driven attempt to annihilate an entire people. The word evokes not just tragedy, but deliberate, industrial-scale evil. Invoking it lightly dishonors history. Ignoring its modern echoes dishonors the present.

The recent air conflict between India and Pakistan on May 7, 2025, has brought to light not just the sharpness of military strategies, but also the deeper issue of how modern war is shaped more by information and integration than by just having advanced fighter jets. Under 'Operation Sindhur', India launched air strikes into Pakistan-administered territory.

The EU’s sanctions spiral: Addiction, blind faith, and a shaky parachute

2 weeks ago | weeklyblitz.net | M A Hossain

As Europe barrels into its 17th round of sanctions on Russia, it’s beginning to look less like a calculated geopolitical strategy and more like a stubborn addiction. Despite mounting evidence that sanctions are backfiring economically and geopolitically, the European Union remains locked in a cycle of punitive measures that appear more performative than effective.
Europe’s divisions deepen as populism challenges unity and democracy

2 weeks ago | weeklyblitz.net | M A Hossain

The recent round of European elections reveals a continent increasingly torn between two irreconcilable visions of the future. On one side lies the traditional Western liberal consensus-pro-EU, pro-democracy, pro-NATO, and steadfastly opposed to Russian aggression. On the other is a swelling tide of nationalist, populist discontent-skeptical of Brussels, disdainful of globalist politics, and alarmingly sympathetic to Russia’s geopolitical ambitions.
