Milei is playing the Trump of Latin America, demanding Britain hand over the Falklands and citing Hong Kong as his precedent. But the islanders voted overwhelmingly to remain British, and Argentina already lost the war in 1982. As iPINIONS argues, nationalist chest-thumping is no substitute for military power. And Britain is no Venezuela. Read my… Read more.
Trump thought overwhelming American military power meant he held all the cards. Instead, Iran keeps moving the goalposts, tightening its grip on Hormuz and raising the price every time Trump thinks he has found a way out. Now he is reportedly even considering walking away without the nuclear deal he claimed this war was supposed… Read more.
Three years into Sudan’s war, the death toll, famine, and mass displacement are staggering. Yet unlike Ukraine, Gaza, or Iran, Sudan still struggles to command sustained media attention or geopolitical urgency. iPINIONS argues that neglect has less to do with racism or religion than with the brutal fact that Sudan offers the West little strategic… Read more.
Putin just exposed Trump’s Cuba blockade as another bluff. After threatening to stop any country from supplying oil to the island, Trump folded the moment Russia called him on it. iPINIONS contends that this humiliation reaches far beyond Cuba to Iran, NATO, and Taiwan.

From January 6 to Tehran, Trump incites others to bleed while he stays safe. As Iranians face bullets in the streets, Trump blusters in Washington, threatening force, urging revolt, and refusing responsibility. iPINIONS examines performative tyranny, political slaughter, and the dangerous hypocrisy of calling others to fight battles you won’t, or launching bombs without fully… Read more.
This is Trump exporting his White Christian nationalist worldview under the guise of protecting Christians. Nigeria becomes the target not because Christians are uniquely threatened, but because a Black country fits Trump’s “shithole” hierarchy and Project 2025’s moralized militarism. Drone strikes become theology by other means — power dressed up as piety. Never mind that… Read more.
Trump’s foreign policy has become a grotesque mix of Musk’s ego, Fox’s fiction, and white grievance. iPINIONS chronicles who, from South Africa to Venezuela, it’s ignorance on parade and power without principle. What could go wrong… Read my full take on Substack:https://ipinionsdaily.substack.com/p/on-foreign-policy-trump-makes-george Read more.
Trump is marking Veterans Day by plotting his own Ukraine-style war in Venezuela. iPINIONS thinks this proves America’s folly isn’t failing to learn from history, but repeating it for ratings.

Trump rolled out the red carpet in Alaska, literally, only to let Putin strut as the puppet master.

Helsinki saw Trump throw American intelligence under the bus for Putin. Now he’s inviting this wanted war criminal to America to carve up Ukraine—without Zelensky at the table. Forget the Nobel Peace Prize. iPINIONS thinks this warrants the igNobel Prize. Read it on my Substack: https://ipinionsdaily.substack.com/p/from-helsinki-to-ukraine-trump-is Read more.
