Feb. 24, 2025 (EIRNS)—Why is it in Americans’ national security interest, that President Donald Trump act to curtail the “special relationship” that presently exists between the British Imperial and Commonwealth intelligence services, and the United States military and military-intelligence?
On Monday, Feb. 24, the UN General Assembly passed two resolutions on the conflict in Ukraine: one submitted by Ukraine and backed by the EU, which denounces Russia, and the amended version of another, much simpler one submitted by the U.S. The Security Council voted to approve the U.S. resolution.
Feb. 23, 2025 (EIRNS)—While U.S. President Donald Trump is moving for a peaceful resolution to the crisis in Ukraine, some Europeans aren’t too happy about it. Polish President Andrzej Duda met with Trump on Feb. 22. Macron arrives on Feb. 24, to push Trump on backing a 30,000-strong “peacekeeping” force in Ukraine—a proposal that Russia has completely rejected. Then Sir Keir Starmer, Prime Minister of the U.K. will disgrace Washington with his presence on Feb. 27 with similar hopes of coaxing Trump into continued military confrontation.
Feb. 22, 2025 (EIRNS)—The new Trump administration is rapidly changing the environment surrounding NATO’s war against Russia being conducted in Ukraine.
Feb. 21, 2025 (EIRNS)—During an interview published Feb. 20, Secretary of State Marco Rubio continued the trend of throwing out the neocon doctrine of the sole unipolar hegemon imposed after the Cold War.
Feb. 21, 2025 (EIRNS)—The subtitle of the City of London’s Feb. 20 The Economist article “How Europe Must Respond as Trump and Putin Smash the Post-War Order” was even more revealing than the headline: “The region has had its bleakest week since the fall of the Iron Curtain. The implications have yet to set in.”
Feb. 19, 2025 (EIRNS)—The dizzying pace of developments on the world stage over the last 30 days has left most of the world—including many of the principal actors in these events—at a loss to explain what is happening, and why things are moving so rapidly.
Feb. 18, 2025 (EIRNS)—That the postwar unipolar world order has fallen apart might be the understatement of the century. Today, in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, high-level delegations from the United States and Russia met for four-and-a-half hours as a significant step toward re-establishing normal bilateral relations between the world’s biggest nuclear superpowers, and resolving the Ukraine conflict in a way which, in the words of meeting participant and U.S. National Security Advisor Mike Waltz, is “a permanent end to the war, and not a temporary end, as we’ve seen in the past.”
The developments in Riyadh have opened a wide gulf between the direction the world can take with cooperation between sovereign nations for peace, and the troglodyte system of war and empire that has dominated up until now.

Feb. 17, 2025 (EIRNS)—The future may not be determined, but it is definitive that we are at the end of the post-Cold War, so-called “rules-based order.” In the forefront of many manifestations, including the tears of the outgoing chairman of the Munich Security Council yesterday, is the meeting Tuesday, Feb. 18, in Riyadh of the U.S. Secretary of State and Russian Foreign Minister to re-establish regular relations between these powers and to confer on ending the warfare in Ukraine.
Feb. 16, 2025 (EIRNS)—As the fur continues to fly regarding last week’s Trump-Putin phone call, the statements by U.S. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, and, most notably, the speech given by Vice-President J.D. Vance in Munich—the Feb. 14 headline of the online publication Foreign Policy read “Vance Leaves Europe Gobsmacked”—the exchange between Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov and Secretary of State Marc Rubio has gone somewhat under-reported. “On February 15, at the initiative of the American side, Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov had a telephone conversation with U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio,” Russia’s read-out begins. It then states the following: “Building on the February 12 telephone conversation between the Presidents of Russia and the United States, the two foreign ministers agreed to maintain an open channel of communication to address longstanding issues in Russian-American relations. Their goal is to remove unilateral barriers inherited from the previous U.S. administration that have hindered mutually beneficial trade, economic and investment cooperation.”
Feb. 15, 2025 (EIRNS)—There is such a thing as natural law—not the positive law of a rules-based order, but a knowable, truthful natural order which manifests itself in justice, goodness, and universal progress. Natural law, of which we must constantly perfect our understanding, provides the only truly successful and universal basis for the organization of human affairs. It is this principle which gives support to the assertion of South Africa’s former Minister of International Relations and Cooperation Naledi Pandor, in her remarks to the International Peace Coalition meeting of Feb. 14, that “we can be free together.”
In June of 2002, Lyndon LaRouche was invited to deliver the keynote speech to a two-day conference on “The Role of Oil and Gas in World Politics” held at the Zayed Center for Coordination and Follow-Up in Abu Dhabi, UAE.
