A CNN report quoted an unnamed US official as saying Russia’s retaliation for western sanctions has put the West in “unchartered territory”. Suffice to say, Blinken’s call underscores the desperate urgency in Washington to open a line of communication to Moscow at the political level.
Imran Khan has rewritten Pakistan’s political history by knocking at the doors of political power so soon after his ouster by an unholy alliance of time servers with foreign patronage. The Punjab election results show that the people of that country understand what democratic empowerment is and are voicing their opinion.
Welcome to the European Union’s “sanctions from hell.” Germany is heading for a major economic crisis. When Germany sneezes, of course, Europe catches cold — not only the Eurozone but even post-Brexit Britain.
India is “balancing” between Washington and Moscow and the BRICS summit was a great occasion to monitor that trapeze act.
Americans estimate that the Indian government would grab the I2U2 platform to burnish its international image. But if there is any sanity left in the Indian foreign policy establishment, a subaltern role to serve US and Israeli interests cannot enhance India’s prestige in West Asia.
The US is groping in the dark about the Russian intentions in Ukraine. It keeps improvising and updating its narrative to cope with emergent realities that keep coming as nasty surprises.
Thank God, Russia eschews any triumphalism over the surrender of the so-called neo-Nazi Azov regiment in the Azovstal factory complex in Mariupol.
Russia is practising a warfare that the West is not used to — where wars aren’t won anymore. It is highly unlikely that there will be a ceremonial occasion bringing the Ukraine war to an end.
India and China stand to gain the most out of Russia’s quest for new markets. Russia has offered discounted prices to them and payment systems in local currencies. However, India and China’s response present a study in contrast.
Afghanistan Braces for New War; Iran Makes Gains as Israel, Turkey Test Moscow’s Limits on Ukraine.
