Coups with Chinese Angle?

25 February 2021 In what can be characterised as Great Power ploy, President Biden has chosen to moot an alliance of Democracies, simply as an ideological counter to CCP China which is a regime that can be loosely characterised as Non Democratic. What observers are unable to see, Fareed Zakaria included, is that Biden strategy […]

Texan Quixotic Tilt!

19 February 2021 Did any one thing that having a common border with Mexico or being the self styled ‘Lone Star’ state would leave Texas in a sense of splendid isolation, bring it grief on a ‘rainy’ day? Actually what should have been a normal winter of snows, a spell of white weather, has turned […]

Bytes & Bites

17 February 2021 A scam of novelty appears to have burst in the RW firmament. First was a conventional expose of RW Troll army led by an aspiring star Mr Kapil Mishra, against whom a conscience keeper Mr Harsh Mander has gone to the Delhi HC to get the police to register an FIR for […]

Thucidydes’ Trap? Why Greek algorithms pale in front of Tamil history.

15 February 2021 I will just stick my neck out to say that there is enough evidence in lore and historical plates, to prove that while British Isles offer glimpses of this in their history with wars between England, Scotland, Wales, Irish, before the United Kingdom came about, Tamil history never ended with such finality.

Flips and Flops- Mind Games Over China?

9 February 2021 Imagine when a school scuffle turns bad and reported. Then the boy who was identified as the bully and suitably castigated finds out that the one he thought he took down, is holding fort in class, regaling his audience about the many times he was whipping the bully when no one was […]

The Normalcy Return?

1 February 2021 The flurry of administrative orders or executive orders that emanated from the White House have more or less reversed the direction of the American State within a fortnight. It demonstrated not how powerful a Presidency is in America after all, but to the larger world, it demonstrated a commitment upholding Biden Presidency, […]

Xi’s Opening Gambit in 2021

26 January 2021 We first saw a brief glimpse of Jack Ma, that was on 20 January 2021, as if to offer an olive branch of sorts to the incoming Biden Administration. Yet, Xi’s China is not a suitor, trying to woo the US, which could well be Deng’s China back then in the 70s […]

Biden’s Bid

24 January 2021 Finally we can begin to gaze away from the most important Western Democratic system and nation state, the USA and focus elsewhere. For actually on 20 January 2021, there were no surprises in the script. Of course we saw American raw power of her popular culture on display all day, starting with […]

Unraveling the Right

16 January 2021 The fruits of FOE or FOS as people call these expressions of falsehood and prejudice using the liberal environment to chalk up alternate ‘factuals’ which like scientism are not the real thing, have come to bear on America. You can imagine the Lady of Liberty who was upholding the torch of freedoms […]

Dragon Without Fire?

14 January 2021 I want to ask this question about why the Chinese PLAN and PLAAF and PLA suddenly turned quiescent on the SCS seas, including Taiwan Strait, when the USA was so distracted that we would term this as a ‘nation at war with itself’? I was of the view that Chinese moves since […]
