Senate vote on Iran war powers fails again as GOP opposition grows
A Senate vote to require congressional approval before the conflict with Iran can continue has failed again, even as Republican opposition to the effort appears to be growing.The latest shift came from Senator Lisa Murkowski of Alaska, who became the newest Republican to back a move to halt the conflict and force President Donald Trump to seek approval from Congress.The vote is significant because it reflects a widening split within the Republican Party over the administration's handling of the conflict.It also keeps the question of war powers in the centre of the political debate in Washington.The measure was designed to...

Facilities linked to Coca-Cola, Cargill, Mondelez and other U.S. companies in Ukraine appear to have been deliberately hit, according to a fresh report published on Tuesday.The report says the strikes are part of Russia's ongoing attacks in Ukraine and suggests the facilities were targeted intentionally rather than damaged incidentally.It also says the Trump administration's response has been muted, raising concern among observers about the lack of a public reaction from the White House.The issue matters because the attacks involve major international companies with operations in Ukraine, adding a commercial dimension to the wider war and increasing scrutiny of how Moscow...

There Is Good in Every Bad
Power, Greed, Oil, and the Theater of Modern Geopolitics The Business Model of Power Donald Trump does not govern like a traditional politician. He governs like a negotiator who believes every geopolitical crisis is leverage, every war threat is a bargaining chip, and every market panic is an opportunity. When markets tremble, someone profits. The question is, who? Global markets react instantly to political tension. Gold rises when conflict looms. Oil spikes when instability threatens production. Stock markets collapse on fear, then rebound on reassurance. Volatility is not chaos, it is opportunity. Historically, gold has surged during major geopolitical crises,... [Continue Reading]
