The war in Ukraine did not break NATO. It exposed structural weaknesses that have existed inside the alliance for decades. This is an institutional autopsy of NATO as a war fighting system and why its political promises now exceed its military capacity.
Denmark presents its sovereignty over Greenland as settled and lawful. But a closer look at its historical treatment of the Inuit, the island’s original inhabitants, raises deeper questions of legitimacy. From coercive population policies to forced assimilation, the record complicates Denmark’s moral claim at a moment when Greenland’s future is once again under global scrutiny.
The most important technological shifts rarely arrive with ceremonies or consensus. They become infrastructure first, and history later. Artificial intelligence is now undergoing that kind of transition—quietly reshaping coordination, decision-making and medicine while public debate remains fixated on milestones and definitions that lag reality.
Drone warfare did not begin in Ukraine. It began in Nagorno Karabakh and evolved into industrial attrition powered by civilian supply chains. This article explains how modern war shifted from weapons to components, why China’s dominance in drone manufacturing and sourcing makes sanctions structurally weak, and why today’s decisive battlefield runs through factories, logistics hubs, and payment systems far from the front line.
Leaked images from a Tehran mortuary have been presented by the BBC as evidence of a violent state crackdown on protesters in Iran. The images are real, disturbing, and demand scrutiny. But images alone do not establish who killed whom.
Artificial intelligence has not solved drug discovery. It has exposed where pharmaceutical development really fails. As decision-making replaces invention as the bottleneck, Western drugmakers are quietly reorganising pipelines and partnerships pulling China into the system not by admiration, but by necessity.
Britain has accepted a trade linked medicines pricing reset that makes the NHS pay more. NICE’s new chief executive has warned that paying more to satisfy Trump style demands is a huge backwards step because higher drug spend means higher taxes or NHS cuts. This analysis explains what the government agreed, why the policy is fracturing, and how the NHS cost can be estimated.
A leading strand of financial commentary argues the world has lost its way and fallen back into mercantilism. An Austrian economist disagrees. The real source of global imbalance is not trade ideology but decades of fiat money, credit distortion, and political control of prices.
Europe’s response to Donald Trump’s return is not pragmatic alliance management but a doctrine of appeasement. Repeated concessions to Washington have hardened dependency into habit, hollowed out sovereignty, empowered internal veto holders, and trained institutions to avoid using their own power. This essay explains how appeasement to Trump became path dependent and why it now functions as managed decline.
As AI intelligence becomes cheap and interchangeable, power shifts to the Jarvis layer: the always-on personal assistant that mediates daily life. This analysis explains why proximity, not intelligence, is the new AI chokepoint shaping autonomy, education, and governance.
India’s economic rise was built on exporting educated, English speaking labour at scale. Artificial intelligence is now collapsing the price of intelligence itself. As cognitive work becomes cheaper than human labour, India’s outsourcing and IT services model faces a structural shock arriving far sooner than policymakers admit. This analysis examines why reskilling narratives are failing and what is now at stake.
A single omitted quotation changes the meaning of a CIA visit to Caracas. When Delcy Rodríguez addressed the families of those killed in the January attack, she placed US intelligence engagement inside a family history of state killing. Western coverage reports the meeting. It omits the sequence that gives it meaning.
Britain does not feel like a country in crisis. That is precisely the danger. Growth limps on, spending rises, and the system appears stable. Yet beneath the calm language, the economy is losing its ability to tell success from failure. Prices no longer speak clearly, losses are concealed, and decline is administered rather than corrected.
The United States is not short of power. It is short of closure. From Iran to Venezuela, Greenland to the Red Sea, Washington’s reliance on visible coercion is widening its obligations faster than it secures compliance. The result is not imminent collapse or world war, but a growing mismatch between reach, endurance, and political outcome.
As Ukraine’s cities go dark, Vladimir Putin has hardened Russia’s war aims. Moscow now ties any peace in Ukraine to a broader demand that NATO retreat to its pre-expansion footprint, effectively back to West Germany as it stood in 1998. This is no longer a war over territory. It is a campaign to force a renegotiation of Europe’s security order.
India’s ordinary people street vendors, small traders, farmers, and informal entrepreneurs are among the most resilient and hardworking on earth. They survive through courage and ingenuity, not because of the state, but in spite of it. The real failure lies not with markets or people, but with a bureaucracy designed to control entry, manufacture monopoly, and suppress competition.
High on the Kaimur plateau, Mundeshwari Temple is not a relic or a monument but a living expression of a great Hindu civilisation. Unrestored, uninterrupted, and unexplanatory, it reveals how endurance, repetition, and ritual allowed a civilisation to survive while others vanished.
This report is written by a journalist and former Russian army officer with direct experience of frontline operations. The account is based on first hand observation and conversations along the active front, reflecting conditions...
London is not heading for mass unemployment. It is heading for class compression. As artificial intelligence reshapes white-collar work, service jobs endure, elite power concentrates, and the middle quietly erodes. The result is a city that keeps working while becoming poorer, narrower and more fragile.
This article is a legal analysis. It is written from a legal perspective and proceeds deliberately, without media spin, emotive framing, or national security hysteria. The purpose is to analyse the proposed Chinese embassy...
As Arctic ice retreats, the High North is being transformed from a frozen periphery into a strategic corridor. This chapter examines why Greenland matters not as territory or mineral wealth, but as fixed infrastructure anchoring military transit, sensing, and enforcement in a newly passable Arctic and why capability, not sovereignty claims, is shaping the redistribution of the North.
The debate over artificial general intelligence is becoming a distraction. As AI capability races ahead of law and language, definition lag now poses a serious governance risk.
Artificial intelligence is exposing structural flaws in GDP by driving prices down, embedding value inside firms, and delivering rapid quality gains that official statistics struggle to capture. As AI matures, GDP risks misleading policymakers about real economic progress.
Artificial intelligence is usually framed as a jobs problem. That framing misses the deeper risk. The real shock is psychological: the rapid invalidation of skills, status, and expectations that once gave effort meaning. The danger is not unemployment alone, but the collapse of trust in work, institutions, and the future itself.
When Iran shut down the internet in January, it did more than silence social media. It severed coordination, visibility, and momentum. This analysis explains how information control, Starlink disruption, and force on the ground stalled a protest movement many assumed was unstoppable.
HS2 was meant to symbolise modern Britain. Instead, it exposes a deeper failure: the loss of state competence. From pandemic waste to collapsing infrastructure, Britain now pays vast sums but struggles to control outcomes. This is not a single scandal. It is a systemic breakdown.
The proposed Chinese embassy at Royal Mint Court has become a proxy battlefield for Britain’s unresolved China policy. Framed as a security threat despite the absence of clear intelligence objections, the project reveals how redacted plans, protest fears, and geopolitical alignment can harden into narrative certainty. This investigation traces how a planning application was transformed into a national security scare.
Europe keeps invoking international law while lacking the power to enforce it. This article sets out the internal structures Europe must dismantle if rules are to bind allies as well as adversaries in an age of coercion.
