26 March 2021 I have to say that I never imagined how Russia could be considered European power when she lay stretched across Asia right upto the Bering Straights! It is one geopolitical map that always piqued me, especially when the Russo Japanese War was described as frankly one between European established power vis-à-vis a […]
21 March 2021 Probably Western Civilisation has at the moment the best set of institutions, which is why it has managed to keep ahead of the Game through two world wars and the world’s first ever multidecadal strategic game of stare, where two sets of military systems stared down at each other with ballistic missiles, […]
13 March 2021 This is the Ides of March or is it something far more overwhelmingly compelling? President Biden had a full fledged Quad Bloc Anti China coalition meeting before his top diplomat went to Alaska to meet with his Chinese counterpart. Loaded dice?

The Chinese ambassador made a triumphant statement on the occasion, one that echoes strangely with those made in colonial era by British Residents in Indian Principalities. […]
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 […]
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.
