Geo Political News - September 2025: Immigration Battles, Middle East Proxy Wars, and Europe’s Gamble in Ukraine

Taking chances is not obeying the law , but it is easier to bring specialists from your own country than train people for a timed project. For this reason, most of the South Koreans detained in Georgia entered the US on the 90-day Electronic System for Travel Authorization ( ESTA ), which can be easily obtained over the internet, or on B-1 visas. Both allow business trips, but neither permit manual labor, which puts factory engineers at risk. Other foreign companies, many of them Korean, face the same difficulty.

Immigration Reform: Perhaps the message is simple: immigration reform and temporary work visas. If you give them a four-week window to search in the US and can't find anyone, the same people who lament the raids glorify the failure of the Trump administration to create jobs and increase unemployment numbers. It is not that it is impossible to legally enter the country.

In recent years, the United States has granted about 1 million green cards annually; while the share varies a bit from year to year, roughly half are given to immigrants already in the United States who are adjusting from another status (for example temporary worker or student). The remainder go to applicants outside the United States. In both cases, the majority of these visas require sponsorship by a relative or employer.

Middle East Proxy Wars: Hamas, Houthis and Hezbollah— the Iran proxies —and the Qatari cover. What is the endgame? Israel is still determined to kill all Hamas, claiming to know where they are, at the same time ignoring diplomatic efforts and humanity. The biggest hurdle for current peace consideration is a global dysfunction of Western governments, from Germany, UK, and France to the EU, and add the unifying common theme: hate Trump and he is a dictator, so they will turn the EU into a fascist empire , who may finally beat the Russians, so they hope. That people sympathize with Palestine is great, but they should address their anger to the British Parliament—remember them of 1948. Decisions have consequences, but like all the former colonies and territories, once they left, well we got the money. Military power did solve the Saddam and the Assad problem , kind of killing the Hamas leadership, but it did not resolve the ideological and leadership issues. As much as making a US leftist think democracy, it will be much harder to convert radicals, but killing them all—perhaps we relieve some old biblical times , but critics of religious war are quick to point out: wars should only be termed [religious wars], in so far as at least one of the belligerents lays claim to 'religion', a religious law, in order to justify his warfare and to substantiate publicly why his use of military force against a political authority should be a bellum iustum. [10] Oil is money. More to the proxy network here and the Hamas leaders, dead and alive. And here an article about Gaza City (translate)—is bombing really the only alternative?

The coastal strip on the eastern Mediterranean was a fortress and transit land, a gift to queens and spoils of conquerors, a place of incense, markets and religions. Between sand and sea, a drama has unfolded over thousands of years that reaches into our warlike present.

EU Military Strategy: So, the EU with its grandiose politicians have agreed to build up its military, still glooming over a Ukrainian win, saber-rattling rhetoric and great sandbox military strategies , but no talks with Putin, hoping the Russian economy and Putin's power will cede before Ukraine becomes a rubble field. On the other hand, with the Europeans and the war mongers disagreeing with talks and a potential land swap, Putin has taken the advantage to increase his attacks to a point of no return for Ukraine. So, we are entering a path of total destruction, Russia teasing the resolve of Europe , knowing if they attack their oil resources , India and China will join the fight, while Ms. Van der Leyen will spend some 50 billion (interest on Russian seized oligarch monies) to finance weapons. What these people all do not understand is it is wishful thinking to destroy Russia. Once Ukraine cuts the pipelines to Hungary and Serbia, some friends may turn their interests as well. And boots on the ground—there is only one army on the planet, the US. Forget the Europeans, and it will take 250,000 plus if they want an all-out war. Perhaps time to remember: Russia and the US took out the Nazis. The war mongers disagree—it was all US—but I do not believe we should add a contest to find out. Vietnam, Afghanistan, Iraq—wasn't it all a walk in the park? Putin playing chess, the EU plays Parcheesi? Or as the Asia Times suggests, the drones in Poland may have been a NATO jamming job , as was the Ursula van der Leyen claim that her plane was targeted by Russian hackers. If you need more proof that China needs resources to fuel its economy , here you have it, and the EU sanctions, up in smoke. The recent negotiation breakthrough for constructing the Power of Siberia 2, which will transport 50 billion cubic meters of Russian natural gas to China via Mongolia annually, is expected to significantly change the geopolitical landscape and energy markets, according to Chinese and Western analysts.
