Every year, as May 9 approaches, the "Immortal Regiment" parade begins in some former Soviet countries. This march is banned somewhere, and the organizers, as usual, protest and make a fuss. Some ask: "What's wrong with commemorating the participants of World War II?" In fact, Soviet military uniforms, photos of soldiers, St. George ribbons, other symbols reminiscent of the war and the Soviet Union... Is all this really harmless?..

India fired missiles at several targets in Pakistan-administered Kashmir on the night of May 7. Analysts say the incident marks a significant deterioration in relations between the two nuclear-armed states and a direct escalation of hostilities. India and Pakistan have other points of conflict beyond the Muslim-majority state of Jammu and Kashmir: for centuries, the degree of intermarriage between Indians and Pakistanis has not been high. This has further inflamed the conflict. While in the last century, a nuclear conflict was modeled between the United States and the Soviet Union, India and Pakistan are now seen as the countries most likely to have such a conflict.

Israeli prisons do not discriminate in their brutality. Palestinians – regardless of age, gender, or political affiliation – are subjected to severe physical and psychological abuse simply for being Palestinian. Children, the elderly, and those with no political affiliation are subjected to the same brutal treatment as combatants.

The region is rich in minerals, oil and gas, fisheries, and other resources. However, its strategic location makes it even more attractive to international powers. In terms of sea routes that are important for world trade, especially oil, Somalia and Somaliland are very close to the Red Sea and the Gulf of Aden. In addition, the situation has been further complicated by the attacks by the Houthis on some ships across the Red Sea in support of the Palestinian cause.

The historic Kashmir dispute between Pakistan and India has flared up again. New Delhi blames Pakistan for the attack on tourists, while Islamabad is demanding an international investigation. Meanwhile, the dispute between the two nuclear-armed neighbors could bring the entire region to the brink of collapse. From an article by political scientist Abduvali Soyibnazarov.

While there have been many significant shifts in the world order and balance of power throughout history, the current situation is unprecedented. For the first time, a major shift in the balance of power could occur in an environment where weapons of mass destruction with the power to destroy the entire world exist.

A tiny parasitic wasp injects its venom into the relatively large body of a wasp, turning it into a living nest in which its tiny wasps can grow. Israel is a modern-day version of a similar parasitic wasp — it injects its host (the United States) with a mind-altering venom, causing it to accept parasitism and eventually die. If we allow Israel to turn our nation into a zombie-like nation, not the free nation our founding fathers dreamed of, we will simply be facilitating our mutual mass destruction. From an article by Scott Ritter, an American writer and former U.S. Marine Corps intelligence officer.

Islam and liberalism both seek to liberate man, but they interpret the source and goals of freedom differently: in Islam, freedom is a spiritual and internal state, and true freedom is achieved only when a person is connected to absolute truth. In liberalism, freedom is an external independence, which arises when a person strives to be free from any external influence.

Baku, together with Kazakhstan, provides more than 60 percent of Tel Aviv's oil needs. This figure has increased further since October 7, 2023, due to Israel's brutal military actions in Gaza and Lebanon. In return, Israel supplies Azerbaijan with modern weapons. These weapons played a significant role in Baku's victory over Armenia in the 2020 and 2023 wars.

Psychologists say that learning a language affects not only vocabulary, but also emotional thinking. When a person begins to think in a new language, the emotions and reactions inherent in this language also appear in his mind. Therefore, young people who do not think in their own language are cut off from the spiritual heritage of their people.
