29 May 2023 China was staring at a Thucydides Trap apparently, with the USA reenergising her Asia Pacific presence and alliances, including actively cultivating partnership through Quad and bilaterally with India, who being China’s next door neighbour and gate way to the Indian Ocean, should have been the Canada to China in Continental Asia (CONAS) […]

28 May 2023 From what has transpired over the last fortnight, this much is clear that Ukraine appears not to be really sanguine about a conventional counter offensive that has been in the works and talks of the Western capitals that support Kyiv. Indirect evidence suggests that Ukraine’s senior military leader, Commander in Chief General […]
15 May 2023 Like Normandy and D Day, considerable expectations have been built up over the type of offensive the Ukrainian Armed Forces now bolstered and replenished with Western armour and armoury would launch across the Dnieper river, into Donbas, with the end goal of throwing out those Russians all the way to the International […]
10 May 2023 The first ever visit by a leading Pakistani Official took place when Benazir’s son and chosen heir, Bilawal Bhutto Zardari visited India as part of the Shanghai Cooperation Organisation (SCO) Foreign Affairs Ministerial Meet that was held in Goa last week.

Increasingly Free Market Capitalism seems to […]
22 April 2023 This is probably more a theme of blockbuster scripts, a rarified atmosphere beyond the pale of concerns of the commons. Here the big and the bigger are by themselves, where the leverage and manipulation can hold a candle to even the best twists and turns of a potboiler…Art imitates life, life imitates […]
17 April 2023 Well into this second year of this relentless SMO, unlike what the native experts from former Soviet Warsaw Pact countries had predicted, the Russians did not hibernate over the winter. The thaw of spring fast approaching, the campaign has followed the mandate of the military political leadership to the ‘T’, modestly and […]
12 April 2023 The spectre of Ukraine and its shadow over the rest of the globe is now an absolutely undeniable reality. Even in the immediate vicinity of the Covid Pandemic that struck the commons in 2020, no analyst went so far as to venture on this present scenario where the G7 total economic clout […]
5 April 2023 It is ironical indeed that Finland lost its neutrality in the very week when Singapore, Saudi Arabia and other Asian countries are seeking to reclaim theirs. The Western AngloSaxon led axis now seems to be fully besotted with Russia that it has probably left the door ajar for China to make her […]
