Dark Flash: The WMD Spectre over Iran-Israel Clash!

22 April 2024 Apparently the night of 13 April belonged to Iran, but the night of 19 April could be the night that belonged not to Israel but to the Coalition of Common Sense. In what can be termed as explosive, Mr Pepe Escobar on X revealed that according to his Asian sources, an Israeli. […]

The Shock and Awe Gulf

17 April 2024 At the time of writing, IDF is yet to retaliate against Iran’s fireworks in the sky a few days back. Many observed that it was a night of great significance, almost Biblical when in Moses’ miracles, first born in every house were smitten by the Lord God. For one sitting far removed […]

Damascus Sword! Diplomacy hangs by a thread.

5 April 2024 Very clearly the air strike targeting the Iranian Embassy in Damascus, Syria, was a desperate Israeli ploy to divert attention from international opprobrium, especially peaking after the deaths of World Central Kitchen charity aid workers in the Gaza.

#Ukraine: The Second Year of Second Chances

21 February 2024 War by any means is always a sordid affair, whether fought with roses or air flame hoses, whether bombed by incendiary munitions or by WMD, because the aim of any war is subjugation- moral and physical, forcing one side to surrender its valued corpus to the other that emerged victorious.

State of Play: Red Sea Storm

18 January 2024 There is at play what we call the forces of unintended consequences, those small probables and pieces that when set upon, provoke a domino effect creating a series of ever rising ripples that finally create a tsunami. We don’t quite know when it all started, we can hazard a few educated guesses […]

Hybrid Cold War:Shadow boxing Global South

11 January 2024 The headlines are quite misleading, editorials are even more so. The narrative is now more clear on social media than in any other media, so much so that the virtual presence which is largely unverifiable has been weaponised by software giant India into what can be preliminarily dubbed as ‘troll diplomacy’. Indian […]

31 December 2023 It is very easy to sign off with a note of optimism in usual times. However, the previous days that club to become this 2023 have been any thing but usual. In 2022, no one thought that Ukraine would continue to be on the boiler, but now we face the opening up […]
