9 June 2023 Since the first week of June involves the Normandy beach landing commemorations, the narrative symphony of western media was full throttle on how the Ukrainians were now going to launch their much awaited Spring Offensive, and how as some commentators averred the Ukrainian efforts could lead to end of President Putin himself […]
Tag: Ukraine Flashpoint
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) […]
28 May 2023 From what has transpired over the last fortnight, this much is clear that Ukraine appears not to be really sanguine about a conventional counter offensive that has been in the works and talks of the Western capitals that support Kyiv. Indirect evidence suggests that Ukraine’s senior military leader, Commander in Chief General […]

#Ukraine: A Reaper drowned!
18 March 2023 We are witness to a new phase of escalation in the aftermath of the Russian decision to drown a MQ9 Reaper drone of the USAF. This signals a return to the heightened phase of the Cold War, only that this is happening in the backdrop of an already full fledged ‘proxy on […]
3 February 2023 When the war started in Ukraine, nearly a year ago, no one could have predicted that this would be a long drawn campaign as it turned out to be. Now guess estimates of Ukrainian conflict would stretch to 2024 winter, as we can see that the Russian strategy of militarily forcing Ukraine […]
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.
