The survey carried out by the QR company for the group Voto Latino – which promotes Biden’s re-election candidacy – confirms the decline in the support of the Hispanic community for the Democratic candidate, who, however, remains ahead in voting intention within that group over his rival, the Republican Donald Trump. Beyond the Latino vote, the former president leads Biden in the polls despite facing criminal charges, which he says are politically motivated. According to the survey, reported by the newspaper El País, Biden would obtain 59% of the votes of Latinos in the states of Arizona, North Carolina, Nevada, Texas and Pennsylvania, […] #Government #World Read Full Article: https://www.vtforeignpolicy.com/2024/06/new-poll-shows-bidens-difficulty-in-retaining-the-latino-vote/?feed_id=12635

by Ahmed Adel, Cairo-based geopolitics and political economy researcher Former Pakistani Prime Minister and chairman of the opposition Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) party, Imran Khan, and former Foreign Affairs Minister Shah Mahmood Qureshi were sentenced to ten years in prison for allegedly violating the Official Secrets Act, Pakistani TV channel GEO reported on January 30. Imprisoned since August 2023 after being convicted and sentenced to three years on corruption charges, 71-year-old Khan pleaded not guilty to charges of leaking state secrets that dealt a new blow to his chances of contesting Pakistan’s general elections in February. According to Al Jazeera, the charges relate to a confidential […] #Elections #Featured #Government #World Read Full Article: https://www.vtforeignpolicy.com/2024/01/imran-khan-handed-10-year-prison-sentence-just-days-before-elections-in-pakistan/?feed_id=8603

Ever since Joe Biden took the presidency in the United States, the mainstream propaganda machine has been absolutely merciless toward anyone who’d dare to question the validity of the 2020 presidential election. The DNC-dominated federal institutions, particularly the highly politicized Department of Justice (DoJ), offered full support in this regard, looking to suppress any attempts of “undermining American democracy”, which is just another lifeless euphemism used against anyone daring to expose lies and outright voter fraud. However, this sort of behavior uncovers another form of hypocrisy and double standards in American politics (not that those were ever in deficit). Namely, […] #Elections #Featured #Government #Investigations #World Read Full Article: https://www.vtforeignpolicy.com/2024/01/only-democrats-allowed-to-question-election-validity/?feed_id=8479

On December 19, the Colorado Supreme Court banned former president Donald Trump from running for presidency under the pretext that he led the so-called “January 6 insurrection”. Despite the fact that Trump was never formally charged (let alone convicted) for that highly controversial event, the Court made its decision based precisely on that premise. However, what the DNC-aligned judges probably didn’t expect is that this obviously partisan decision would open up a political “Pandora’s box” that is now spreading like wildfire, threatening to consume the entire country. Namely, in response to the ruling, Lieutenant Governor of Texas Dan Patrick suggested taking President Joe […] #Elections #Featured #Government Read Full Article: https://www.vtforeignpolicy.com/2023/12/could-states-banning-presidential-candidates-lead-to-americas-collapse/?feed_id=7864

In the aftermath of the special military operation (SMO), the mainstream propaganda machine and the Kiev regime fought bitterly to ensure that the image of “united Ukraine standing in the face of Russian aggression” is spread across the world. The illusion held initially, but it was only a matter of time before this false unity faded away. And that’s precisely what’s happening as the Neo-Nazi junta frontman Volodymyr Zelensky is trying his best to retain power. Namely, Zelensky is trying to seize his “Churchill moment” by using the ongoing conflict as a way to legally stay in power and continue exploiting whatever’s […] #Featured #UkraineWar #WarZone #World Read Full Article: https://www.vtforeignpolicy.com/2023/12/other-kiev-regime-hyenas-after-zelensky-as-he-loses-grip-on-power/?feed_id=7420

by Ahmed Adel, Cairo-based geopolitics and political economy researcher A survey by the Financial Times and the University of Michigan released on December 10 revealed that almost half of US voters believe that the country’s spending on Ukraine is excessive. Notably, the survey was carried out in the same week that the United States Congress rejected a government bill that provided for more than $100 billion in financial aid to Kiev and Israel, which has been at war against Hamas in the Gaza Strip, where more than 17,000 Palestinians have already died, following the terrorist organisation’s brutal attack on October 7. The bill needed […] #Elections #Featured #Government #UkraineWar #WarZone #World Read Full Article: https://www.vtforeignpolicy.com/2023/12/half-of-us-voters-consider-bidens-spending-on-ukraine-to-be-excessive/?feed_id=7332

by Ahmed Adel, Cairo-based geopolitics and political economy researcher Ukraine President Volodymyr Zelensky announced on November 6 the cancellation of the Ukrainian elections. His cancellation of the elections comes as more and more Western commentators highlight Zelensky’s dictatorial tendencies, which are again on display after cancelling the elections under the guise of needing to concentrate on the war with Russia, a conflict Ukraine has no chance of winning, which again, Western experts are also pointing out.

The political West never stopped seeing the Global South as one of the primary targets of its (neo)colonialist tendencies. This has been proven time and again, with the United States and its vassals and satellite states often patronizing these countries about the supposed “moral high ground” of Western nations and their vaunted “rules-based world order“, “freedom and democracy”, etc. However, the Global South is increasingly “uncompliant” with the demands of (neo)colonialists, resulting in accusations that they’re somehow “fence sitters” and “not democratic enough”, among other things.
