This isn’t another routine Middle East skirmish. On 28 February 2026, the United States and Israel launched large-scale coordinated strikes deep into Iran – an operation Washington called Epic Fury – aimed at dismantling Iran’s missile infrastructure, naval forces, and leadership hubs after negotiations collapsed. What unfolded has now escalated into what many analysts are […]
Jeffrey Epstein, India, and the Art of Missing the Point The world is once again pretending to be shocked. Jeffrey Epstein is back in the news, and with him, the ritualistic pointing of fingers at anyone who ever shook his hand, boarded a plane, or attended a party where bad decisions were served with […]

India’s Union Budget 2026 reads well. In parts, it reads very well. A decisive push on infrastructure. A long-awaited FTA with the European Union. A strategic response to US tariff unpredictability.
