Title: Assassination Attempt Prompts Soul-Searching in Slovakia
Summary: Slovakia’s political scene has been a bit of a rollercoaster ride, with dissenters struggling to find a seat at the table. It’s like they’re trying to fit a square peg into a round hole. The problem? The country’s political landscape is still stuck in the ‘end of history’ phase, where everyone was so focused on being right that they forgot to listen to each other. If only they could all just sit down and have a heart-to-heart, maybe they could find some common ground. But that would require a lot of introspection and a willingness to admit that they might not have all the answers.

Title: If Trump wins, what would hold him back?
Summary: On January 27, 2017, Donald Trump decided to take his ‘Muslim ban’ to a whole new level. He ordered or even considered something so outrageous that it would make even the most extreme conspiracy theorist blush. And guess what? People didn’t just sit back and take it. They pushed back like a bunch of angry, offended, and well, let’s just say, not-so-subtle-about-it, people. And you know what? Trump, being the master of compromise that he is, eventually ended up constrained. But hey, at least he got to flex his power, right?

Title: The politics of murder: Criminal governance and targeted killings in South Africa
Summary: In 2023, GI-TOC managed to kill 131 people in South Africa, which is actually a decrease from the previous year. But don’t be fooled, these killings are not just random acts of violence. They are carefully planned to silence political opponents, take over succession battles, infiltrate local governance, and even influence political outcomes. And with the 2024 elections just around the corner, this could be a turning point for the country.

Title: US could sanction Georgia politicians to ‘defend democracy’
Summary: The draft law would make sure that anyone who messes with democracy, human rights, or security in Georgia gets a slap on the wrist, or worse. It would also kick out politicians and their relatives who are the masterminds behind the Russia-style foreign agent legislation, which is basically a way of spying on and controlling the media, the opposition, and civil society. But don’t worry, Georgian Dream will use it to protect us from the evil enemies who want to ruin our country.
