26 September 2021 The storm clouds had been gathering for quite some time now, starting with how Libya was handled and how the US handling of Syria was criticised by even closest allies. For some time now, American power was evidently distracted and disoriented, or if you were from the other side, diluted and decrepit, […]
18 September 2021 In many ways, this signals what one can call the seminal moment of our #ClimateOfStrategicUncertainty. This call to unite the forces of the AngloSaxony, is an outcome of centuries of investments and explorations by the AngloSaxon that came about and brought forth what we can acknowledge as the modern industrial age and […]
