UN secretary general ramps up diplomacy as Ukraine War widens
Many people ask, “What's the U.N. doing to stop the Ukraine war?” That's a fair question given that the conflict has been raging for more than two months creating Europe's most costly conflict and humanitarian crisis since WWII.

Resounding rebuke to Russia in UN Assembly
For the third time in a month, the U.N. General Assembly has resoundingly rebuked Russia for its actions in Ukraine. A tough resolution supported by 93 countries versus 24 backing Moscow, suspended Russia from the Human Rights Council.

Looking east, beyond Ukraine
As Ukraine's conflict rolls on, most countries remain fixated on the deadly clash between the Russian invaders and heroically spirited Ukrainian defenders. This war in Europe has reawakened political and strategic attention along the old East-West axis.

United Nations, NATO isolate Russia on Ukraine
The second salvo of diplomatic condemnation slammed into Russia as the U.N. General Assembly once again soundly and overwhelmingly condemned Moscow's actions in Ukraine. The first Assembly vote came a few weeks ago, condemning the Russian invasion; the second rebuke focused on the humanitarian catastrophe caused by Vladimir Putin's aggression.

Ukraine's humanitarian exodus into Europe
Russia's invasion of Ukraine has triggered a rising tsunami of refugees fleeing their beleaguered homeland and heading for neighboring Poland, Slovakia and Hungary. As the winds of war sweep across the Ukrainian steppe, this growing humanitarian wave of civilians, young and old with legions of children among them, have headed for safety.

Russia suffers stunning political setback on Ukraine
Russia has suffered a stunning political setback from the United Nations, as Vladimir Putin pursues his ruthless attack against Ukraine. The diplomatic rebuff came amid Moscow's widening military aggression on Ukraine, which has created widespread civilian casualties and triggered a tragic refugee exodus from the East European country.

Ukraine crisis: brinksmanship to blitzkrieg?
Vladimir Putin has rolled the dice. And now he has moved militarily on Ukraine. Shortly after the 2014 Sochi Winter Olympics, the Russian president began his dismemberment of Ukraine in the Donbas then Crimea. Washington watched but did little. It appears that the Russian despot is following the same script by supporting pro-Russian stooge regimes inside Ukraine's territory; Donetsk and Luhansk “republics.”

'Belt and Road' reaches Buenos Aires
For nearly a decade now, China's “Belt and Road Initiative” (BRI), a commercial infrastructure development strategy adopted by the Chinese government, has been expanding globally.

Olympic pivot to Ukraine?
The ongoing Beijing Winter Olympics have averted our attention away from a possible geopolitical clash of titans. As the Games progress under a mantle of COVID-19 restrictions, controversy over China's domestic political repression, and yes, the adrenaline thrill of a global sporting event, military forces are gathering in both Eastern Europe and East Asia, which threaten freedom and could jolt the global balance of power.

Global economic growth faces undertow
The global economy is hardly out of the woods yet. The resurgent COVID-19 pandemic, coupled with labor shortages and an inflationary surge not seen in a generation, have served as an undertow to wider and sustainable economic growth.
