If you're looking for more journals, maybe Wenhua Zongheng?
Dongsheng (Eastern Voices) is an international collective of researchers interested in Chinese politics and society. Interest in China is growing, yet our understanding of the country is dominated by narratives from the Global North.
We share stories about China – highlighting Chinese perspectives – and focus on geopolitics, economy, national politics, agriculture and environment, science and technology, and people’s life and culture. We are particularly interested in stories that have relevance to the people and countries of the Global South.

maybe a sign that european leaders are starting to get a little nervous about the implications of a regional war? we've seen how disastrous the (failed) attempt of weaning europe off russian oil has been for their industries. what would happen then if suddenly the export of oil from the middle east comes to a sudden stop? i'm not sure european leaders are as keen on this murder-suicide pact as the US seems to be

Israel Defense Forces tells Ireland and Unifil to remove peacekeepers from Lebanese border outpost Irish Times, Oct 4 2024
The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) has told Ireland to remove its peacekeepers from an outpost on the border with Lebanon as its invasion of the country continues.
Sources confirmed the request was made to the headquarters of the United Nations Interim Force in Lebanon (Unifil) and individual countries contributing troops, including Ireland. Israel has been told the troops will remain in place.
edit: this part is probably also worth highlighting
There is one Irish outpost on the Lebanese-Israeli border, which is known as the Blue Line. This outpost, designated post 6-52, is manned by a single Irish platoon who are responsible for observing the border and reporting on incursions.

if you go to the harris-walz merch store and begin scrolling down you can actually see the right-wing shift in the democratic party. all the lgbt stuff, like the kamala pride stickers, are hangovers from the old biden merch store. any of the bi and trans flag stuff that the biden store would sell is nowhere in sight. even the 'control guns not girls' is a biden antique. apart from a few reproductive rights items, the new harris-waltz stuff doesn't convey anything resembling a political message or vision. they're instead offering the most uninspiring campaign logo imaginable, a merch line with the slogan 'yes she can', another with 'when we fight we win', and some camo stuff that feels like its made to appeal to conservative voters. it's all very dull and visually unappealing.
for comparison, this is what the biden-harris merch store looked like in november 2020:

I'm glad Americans are finally waking up. Biden may not be perfect, but he is the only candidate who can beat Trump. I'll be doing my part by voting for him as many times as possible this November!

> According to White House visitor logs reviewed by the New York Post, Dr Kevin Cannard, a Parkinson’s disease expert at Walter Reed medical center, met with Dr Kevin O’Connor, a doctor of osteopathic medicine who has treated the president for years. > The visit took place at the White House residence clinic on 17 January. Cannard has visited the White House house eight times since August 2023. On seven of those visits, most recently in late March, he met with Megan Nasworthy, a liaison between Walter Reed and the White House.

It is a power politics world, yet we still have in mind that through trade and preaching the rule of law we can have influence on the world. We must still preach the rule of law but we have to be aware there are some leaders that need to be dealt with in a different way.” . . . > Borrell predicted the war in Ukraine, and the eventual outcome, would be one of the three driving forces creating a new world order, alongside competition between China and the US, and the rise of the global south. > He admitted he was no fan of the term “global south” to describe such a heterogeneous group of people but that an entity existed that “consider themselves part of an alternative to the western models”. He said it was critical to “try to avoid the alliance of China plus Russia, plus parts of the global south. > “The people of the global south want to be recognised because 40, 50 years ago, when the world order was built, some of these countries did not exist. Either they were colonies or so poor they did not have a vote. > “So now they are independent countries and they have been growing economically, demographically, and they want to have a say.” > He added: “Understandably these countries are hedging. One day they look at Russia , another at China. At the UN they vote against the war in Ukraine but many of them do not have this feeling of moral indignation that we have.”

Mykhailo Podolyak said, “What’s wrong with India, China, and so forth? The problem is that they are not analyzing the consequences of their steps, these countries have weak intellectual potential, unfortunately.” > Mykhailo Podolyak further said, “Yes, they invest in science. Yes, India has launched a lunar rover presently and is now trekking on the surface of the Moon, but that does not indicate that this country fully comprehends what the modern world is about.”
