Yes, if we count clicks and views, I’m sure Paris gets more interest. But much of the push-back ignores the totality of international coverage — in [...]

Not that the US doesn’t have blood on its hands too. It does, but that’s b [...]

Since 2022, international society has changed completely. On one hand, it is possible to say that the world is now de facto multipolar, since Western countries no longer have the power to impose their so-called “rules” worldwide.
