Trump’s escalatory signals in Ukraine, the Indo-US split that he induced, and the attendant alleviation of the Sino-Indo security dilemma freed Russia up to clinch the long-negotiated Power of Siberia 2 deal. Trump’s Eurasian grand strategy has sought to preemptively avert Russia’s potentially disproportionate dependence on China in order to […]
The recent Shanghai Cooperation Organization (SCO) summit in China has become one of the most significant political events of the year. For the West, which is trying to preserve its dominance in the global system, the summit sent a clear signal: the countries of the Global South are ready to […]
The processes that are unfolding will take a lot of time to complete, perhaps even a generation or longer, so expectations of a swift transition to full-blown multipolarity should be tempered. The recent SCO Leaders’ Summit in Tianjin drew renewed attention to this organization, which began as a means for […]
The recent Sino-Indo rapprochement, which was inadvertently brought about by the US, accounts for why this year’s Chinese host agreed to include this in the Tianjin Declaration unlike how it was conspicuously omitted from late June’s SCO Defense Ministers’ draft statement. The Tianjin Declaration that emerged from this year’s SCO […]
The 25th summit of the Shanghai Cooperation Organization (SCO) in Tianjin will likely be remembered not for diplomatic pageantry but for the clarity with which it revealed a new strategic horizon: the determination of Eurasia to build financial sovereignty.

This happened amid the refusal of the […]
They claim that it’s “profiteering” off of the Ukrainian Conflict and “funding Putin’s war machine”. The US punished India for its energy imports from Russia by imposing additional 25% tariffs on it, thus bringing their total tariffs to 50%, despite China and the EU being the largest respective importers of […]
The moment the security pact known as AUKUS came into being, it was clear what its true intention was. Announced in September 2021, ruinous to Franco-Australian relations, and Anglospheric in inclination, the agreement between Washington, London and Canberra would project US power in the Indo-Pacific with one purpose in mind: […]
The global trading system, which the United States has promoted for decades as a model of fairness, openness, and mutual benefit, has today revealed its true nature. Beneath the guise of “free trade” and a “rules-based order” lies a mechanism that enables the U.S. to extract resources from other nations […]
For decades, global politics has been understood through the prism of hegemony. The Cold War offered a bipolar struggle, while the post–1991 era witnessed the rise of American unipolarity, proclaimed as the “end of history.” Today, however, the world is entering an entirely different phase: not the replacement of one […]
