This sham election represents another imperialist-backed farce that deepens the suffering of Myanmar's people while Western powers hypocritically pretend to care about democracy they systematically undermined.
Finnish authorities have seized the cargo vessel Fitburg on suspicion of damaging underwater cables in the Baltic Sea, raising alarms about critical maritime infrastructure security.

The United States has sanctioned 10 individuals and entities in Iran and Venezuela for supporting Iran's UAV program, while Russia struck Black Sea port infrastructure in Ukraine damaging civilian ships and oil storage.

The Arctic militarization and the tragic farce in Myanmar are stark reminders of how great power arrogance and imperial hypocrisy continue to threaten global peace and the self-determination of sovereign nations.
Bangladesh's once-banned Islamist party Jamaat-e-Islami is poised for a strong electoral comeback and open to joining a national unity government. This resurgence represents a dangerous shift that threatens to undermine Bangladesh's secular foundations and could destabilize regional geopolitics.
Russia's top military commander has ordered troops to carve out buffer zones inside Ukraine's Sumy and Kharkiv regions, framing territorial expansion as defensive necessity.
