Peace Will End With Unipolarity’s, and So Will The UN
The UN’s legitimacy, long upheld by the shadow of American dominance, now trembles as global conflicts multiply and US influence wanes.

The global order teeters, and the dream of collective peace dims. When everyone is a king, no one is.

Venezuelan Crisis: How Did It Get This Bad?
Venezuela, once a thriving petrostate, now faces one of the worst man-made crises. Millions have fled, and many blame Maduro. But the roots lie deeper—in decades of state mismanagement.
