You can imagine the Lady of Liberty who was upholding the torch of freedoms […]
Dragon Without Fire?
14 January 2021 I want to ask this question about why the Chinese PLAN and PLAAF and PLA suddenly turned quiescent on the SCS seas, including Taiwan Strait, when the USA was so distracted that we would term this as a ‘nation at war with itself’? I was of the view that Chinese moves since […]

7 January 2021 We are watching what is called in plain terms- anarchy! We had an invasion of what is arguably the oldest building other than Westminster which has witnessed continuously a tradition that we call Constitutional Democracy- The US Capitol.

30 December 2020 ‘Divorce or Discovery?’ So where are we headed now? We are now in a ‘each person to themselves’ situation, one made politically palatable by our Prime Minister using the Atmanirbhar slogan!
