What really pushed Tesla CEO Elon Musk into Donald Trumps arms? Apparently, it was none other than Joe Biden and his frequent snubs.

The America that once championed the free press and the right to protest now appears stuck in a state of democratic backsliding. Polarisation, bipartisan gridlock and eroded trust in government have taken their toll.

Patrick Robinson, a UN judge, indicated last year that the United Kingdom may owe over $24 trillion in reparations for its role in the trans-Atlantic slave trade.

For the US, the question is not just whether sanctions are effective, but if they are backfiring. Sanctions might weaken economies, but they help autocratic regimes exploit public sentiment in order to stay in power.

The decline of Pax Americana may not have started under Biden, but it certainly accelerated under him.

From the CIA's colossal resources and Mossad's precision strikes to MI6s legacy of colonial espionage and RAW's rising influence, these agencies navigate the murky waters of international politics anddiplomacy.

What Iran cannot do militarily to Israel, it's doing with its soft power. It has encircled the Jewish state with a web of entities deeply influenced by its ideology.

China and Russia are pushing BRICS to become a decidedly anti-West bloc. The recent inclusion of anti-West Iran, at their behest, is a case in point.

Last week, the most powerful leader of the most powerful country found himself, shall we say, whining about 'Bibi' - as Netanyahu's nickname goes - almost like a disappointed father admonishing his beloved but mischievous son.

The relationship between Musk and Starmer has been frosty at best since the Labour Party came to power in July. Starmer, many believe, is upset with the American billionaire for his unsavoury remarks on how the Labour government handled the riots.

The truth is that the ongoing allegations and counter-allegations of election interference are just one front in a larger information war between the West and Russia.

Parent-led movements are pushing for stricter screen time regulations, and even bans in schools, calling for comprehensive policies to protect the next generation's future.

If India and Pakistan have tepid bilateral relations today, it is because the Pakistan army appears reluctant to allow civilian governments to build a warm relationship with India.

The Netflix web series IC 814: The Kandahar Hijack has sparked a controversy over names of a few of the hijackers. But it has taken me back to my chance encounter with Omar Sheikh, one of the three terrorists released after the hijack.

The Modi government has recognised the fact that if India needs to be a big geopolitical player, it needs to be the leading light in the semiconductor arena.
