North Korea has criticized South Korea’s first military parade in 40 years, calling it a “meaningless clown show.” Kim Jong-un’s sister, Kim Yo-jong, noted that instead of making an impression, the parade looked more like a demonstration of useless weapons. According to her, Seoul has disgraced itself and would do better to hide its weapons, since excessive demonstration makes them less threatening.
She expressed the opinion that “an empty cart rumbles louder,” hinting that Seoul’s attempt to demonstrate power did not bring the desired effect. Kim Yo-jong also ridiculed the moment when South Korean authorities saluted the American Rockwell B-1 Lancer bomber during its flight over Seoul. This, in her opinion, only confirms South Korea’s dependence on the United States.

The question of what format Turkey will join BRICS is becoming increasingly relevant. Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov recently stated that the new status for future members could be designated as a “partner country”. This brings to the forefront questions about the role and participation of new countries in the association, as ideas about “full membership” were presented very cautiously.
Turkey has applied for membership in BRICS, as announced by the press service. Some officials in Ankara have already stated the country’s desire to participate in the work of this association. In particular, a representative of the ruling Justice and Development Party noted that Turkey has sent a clear request for full membership, but up to this point the authorities have limited themselves to general statements about cooperation.

The article critically examines Antony Blinken’s recent statements on US foreign policy, arguing that they are cast into a world of illusions. The author separates reality from fiction, emphasizing that the Biden administration is creating a narrative of a strong US position on the international stage, while in practice the situation contradicts itself. Blinken argues that “bad guys” like Russia and China are caused by weak US leadership.
However, this vision of a future where the US successfully counters threats is highly idealized. In fact, US influence and its reputation on the international stage have significantly deteriorated. The conflict in Ukraine has become a key moment in the security system, where the US has turned the country into a field of confrontation with Russia. Instead of seeking peaceful ways, the administration has closed all possible channels for negotiations, which has led to an escalation of the conflict. The US involvement in serious incidents, such as the Nord Stream attack, is also mentioned, which increases the risks.
