  • PODCAST: Where Now for South Asia
    May 14 2025
    On the morning of Saturday May 10th, US president Donald Trump posted on his Truth Social platform that a ceasefire had been agreed between India and Pakistan after weeks of rising tensions and military strikes.

    The two South Asian powers faced-off against each other, raising concerns this could turn into an all out war between the nuclear nations.

    Pakistan’s use of Chinese platforms, India’s loss of French jets, the US intervention and the first Cold War between the West and the East are just some of the issues analysts are pouring over and that is exactly what we will do in this podcast.

  • Syria: In the Shadow of War and Revolution
    Mar 20 2025
    In December 2024 when everyone thought the Arab spring in Syria was over, in just a week the long-term regime of the al-Assad dynasty collapsed and today we have a new regime in Damascus. The world and the regional powers have been extremely busy falling over themselves and meeting the new leadership. They are all demanding an inclusive government that respects the rights of minorities. Ahmed al-Shara formerly known as Abu Muhammed Joulani is now officially the President, but he rules over a country battered by decades of mis-rule and warfare and with Israel currently seizing territory. What does the future hold for Syria? How do we make sense of everything that has happened so rapidly?

  • Is the US Abandoning Ukraine?
    Feb 20 2025
    3 years ago on 24 February 2022, Russian forces invaded Ukraine, in Europe's first interstate war since WW2. The western world all got behind Ukraine and said they would back the Ukrainians for as long as it takes. But today, 3 years on, much of the world has lost the appetite for supporting Ukraine as Russia continues to swallow up its territory.

    ‘As long as it takes,’ has now been replaced with Ukraine should cede territory in order to bring the war to an end. In a telephone conversation between President Trump and Putin, Trump agreed that Ukraine should cede territory order to bring the war to an end. Trump's defence secretary went even further in a speech at NATO HQ, he said Ukraine is no longer NATO’s problem, it's Europe's problem. That's quite a U-turn.
