25 May 2021 We knew this Climate of Strategic Uncertainty had been called into operation when China discarded her decades old ‘peaceful rise’ policy and switched to what has been called ‘aggressive revisionism’ which manifested as Wolf Diplomacy and PLA Exercises. In 2013, Ladakh which is today a clear zone of intransigence, came to the […]
9 May 2021 We are now getting snippets of cases as anecdotal evidence of doctors who are dying of Covid19 after getting their shots! First was a case of a US based doctor who had come to India and died of Covid here, then there were reports of senior doctors of KGMU and now clinicians […]
22 April 2021 The Chinese are not just harassing the Taiwanese, they are actually testing concepts they have hitherto simply studied in paper or observed the other Carrier operators conduct, including that of her western neighbour India, because China despite her tall claims of historical naval prowess and other revisionisms, knows the truth more than […]
15 April 2021 We can see how actually President Biden operates, in a sense that in all probability he gave his Russian counterpart a heads up over the withdrawal from Afghanistan.
