Pakistan's recent surge in satellite launches, including the hyperspectral HS-1 and the PRSC series, has drawn the attention of defence analysts. Although officially presented as civilian Earth observation missions, experts note that such satellites have significant dual-use potential, making them an increasingly important factor in South Asia's evolving strategic and military balance.
The conflict between Iran and the United States is no longer just a military or geopolitical issue. Its effects are rapidly spreading through global oil markets, trade routes, currencies, and financial systems. As tensions around the Strait of Hormuz continue, India may face one of the biggest economic challenges in recent years. Rising crude oil prices, a weakening Rupee, widening trade deficits, inflationary pressure, capital outflows, and a possible "Triple Deficit Risk" could reshape the country's economic landscape. The battlefield may be thousands of kilometres away, but the economic shockwaves may eventually reach every Indian household.
Every single month, the New York Federal Reserve loads billions of dollars in crisp, physical hundred-dollar bills onto military cargo planes and flies them across the world to Baghdad. Washington calls it economic assistance. Tehran calls it a delivery service. Meanwhile, deep inside Iran, hundreds of thousands of computer servers run twenty-four hours a day, burning gas that no Western buyer is legally allowed to purchase, converting stranded energy into Bitcoin at a cost of $1,300 per coin and selling it on the global market for sixty or seventy thousand dollars. A fifty-times return. The single most profitable energy arbitrage on planet Earth. The United States built the most sophisticated financial surveillance system in human history. It has sanctioned central banks, blockaded ports, and weaponised the dollar. And yet, the regime it most wants to suffocate is simultaneously mining a sanction-proof digital currency with its own trapped oil and collecting physical American cash through a network of fake invoices at a daily auction in Baghdad. Washington knows. The CIA has tracked it for a decade. But stopping it would collapse Iraq and hand the entire country to Iranian proxies. The empire is not being defeated by missiles. It is being bled to death by Bitcoin miners and fake refrigerator invoices. Read the full analysis below.
The collapse of the Soviet Union in 1991 is often attributed to Mikhail Gorbachev’s policies of glasnost (openness) and perestroika (restructuring), which, despite their good intentions, inadvertently accelerated systemic weaknesses. Today, Donald Trump’s economic nationalism—particularly his tariff-driven "America First" agenda—risks triggering a similar unravelling for the United States. While Trump’s policies are framed as protecting American jobs and industries, they function more like an "America Only" strategy that isolates the U.S., destabilises its economy, and empowers rivals like China. Trump’s tariffs harm U.S. citizens, benefit foreign producers, and position China to dominate the 21st-century global order.
The bill’s core is simple yet devastating: any country trading with Russia will face a 500% U.S. tariff. If India imports oil from Russia, every Indian export to the U.S. will be hit with a 500% tax, effectively wiping out India’s exports. China, which imports oil, gas, uranium, and rare earth metals from Russia, will also be affected. When Europe stopped buying from Russia, India stepped in, importing crude oil, refining it, and selling it to Europe, easing their energy crisis. But India’s close ties with Russia are increasingly frustrating the U.S.
Traoré’s journey is a testament to courage and conviction. His leadership, rooted in humility and service, is a beacon for Burkina Faso and Africa. While risks remain—foreign plots, security threats, and political tensions—Traoré’s impact is undeniable. Burkina Faso is stronger, more independent, and more hopeful than it was two years ago. If his example inspires others, the future of African leadership could be transformative, paving the way for a continent where the people come first.
Recent trade policies implemented by President Trump have significant implications for both America and its global relationships. These policies include tariffs on Canada, China, and Mexico, as well as stopping military aid to Ukraine. This article examines how these decisions are affecting powerful American business interests and reshaping global dynamics in what appears to be an internal power struggle within America's elite circles.
Donald Trump has been trying to position himself as the world's dominant leader, but recent events suggest he may have overplayed his hand. His aggressive diplomatic approach has backfired, particularly regarding Ukraine and European relations.
European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen met with Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi in New Delhi last week, signaling a new phase in Brussels’ approach to sanctions and trade amid rising U.S. tariff threats.
Swarajyam emerges as a response to the limitations and failures of existing political‑economic systems—capitalism, socialism, and communism. Although these traditional ideologies have shaped modern history, each has demonstrated significant shortcomings in addressing contemporary challenges. They correctly identify issues such as inequality, economic crises, and wealth concentration under capitalism, and suppression of freedoms and political instability under communism. Yet both fall short, suggesting the need for a balanced alternative
