Strategic Council Online—Opinion: Over the past 15 years, the UAE has assumed a different role than is commonly thought. This role goes beyond the regional and has political and military dimensions.
Strategic Council Online – Opinion: The fall of Bashar al-Assad’s government in Syria is an important event that will affect the role of many regional and international powers in the West Asian region. This event is also considered an important issue from the perspective of the People’s Republic of China. What happened in Syria has the potential to create serious threats to China’s interests, so Beijing has adopted a conservative approach to developments in Syria.
Strategic Council Online – Opinion: The Popular Mobilization Forces (Hashd al Shaabi) are one of the “important components of power in Iraq” that, alongside the country’s armed forces, play an “effective role” in maintaining security and securing Iraq’s national interests.

Strategic Council Online – Opinion: After the end of World War II, Germany was among the European governments that did the most “good service” to the Zionist regime; the reason for this is quite clear. Germany considers itself “indebted” to the Zionist regime because of Hitler’s behavior and actions towards the Jews. Therefore, in order to compensate for Hitler’s actions and “gain the trust” of the Zionists and at the same time “benefit from the Jewish lobby,” it did not neglect any service to Tel Aviv.
