12 July 2023 In what can be called a cross roads, NATO finds herself once more as an alliance seeking relevance in the modern post Cold War Epoch, when the global commons have just emerged from a debilitating pandemic and are seeking equity and economic cooperation to rebuild themselves and their populations. Global Poverty had […]

29 May 2023 China was staring at a Thucydides Trap apparently, with the USA reenergising her Asia Pacific presence and alliances, including actively cultivating partnership through Quad and bilaterally with India, who being China’s next door neighbour and gate way to the Indian Ocean, should have been the Canada to China in Continental Asia (CONAS) […]
12 April 2023 The spectre of Ukraine and its shadow over the rest of the globe is now an absolutely undeniable reality. Even in the immediate vicinity of the Covid Pandemic that struck the commons in 2020, no analyst went so far as to venture on this present scenario where the G7 total economic clout […]
5 April 2023 It is ironical indeed that Finland lost its neutrality in the very week when Singapore, Saudi Arabia and other Asian countries are seeking to reclaim theirs. The Western AngloSaxon led axis now seems to be fully besotted with Russia that it has probably left the door ajar for China to make her […]

Diplomatic watchers will aver how remarkable such a face-off would have been, […]
23 January 2023 Any parable about brothers, about unity from Panchatantra to Jatakas to folk lore will always inform us about how an outside influence disturbs the equilibrium between siblings and promote rivalry. Yet, I am tempted to draw from ancient Tamil history where a poet, Perunchitiranar wrote about two brothers who ruled their kingdom, […]
15 December 2022 The on going military conflict, dubbed SMO by Russians, called ‘war for freedom’ by the West, is a conflict that has rewritten every law of war hitherto fore. While much of the military sphere is predictable and precedent, there are clearly new trends in the basic element of military force- soldiering. We […]
21 November 2022 Sometimes, it is better to allow events to swill before you handle it. At least, that is the fortune of analysts, whose role is observation and deduction, not reaction. When Poland was attacked, the G20 was in a huddle in Bali, a summitry which paled because of the absence of Vladimir Putin. […]
