Why Trump wants Greenland and why it is so important goes far beyond a controversial proposal or diplomatic provocation. Greenland sits at the center of a rapidly militarizing Arctic, rich in critical minerals, emerging sea routes, and strategic military value.

Trump’s interest reflects deeper U.S. concerns over national security, Russian and Chinese Arctic expansion, and long-term control over resources that underpin global economic power. Denmark’s unusually harsh military warning shows this is not political theater but a genuine sovereignty crisis. As climate change unlocks Arctic access, Greenland has become a frontline in great-power rivalry, where a single miscalculation could fracture NATO, destabilize global markets, and reshape the world order.

Operation Absolute Resolve marks one of the most controversial U.S. military actions in recent history. In January 2026, American forces reportedly captured Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro and transferred him to U.S. custody, triggering global shock and debate. Officially justified by national security, narco-terrorism, and migration concerns, the operation is widely seen by analysts as driven by deeper geopolitical motives—especially Venezuela’s vast oil reserves and its alignment with U.S. rivals. This article examines how Operation Absolute Resolve unfolded, the legal and strategic risks it poses, global reactions, and what the crisis means for India and the future of international order.

The Sheikh Hasina death sentenced verdict has detonated one of the most explosive political crises in Bangladesh’s modern history. Delivered in absentia by the International Crimes Tribunal, the ruling blames the former prime minister for orchestrating widespread state violence during the 2024 student protests. The decision has dismantled the Awami League’s long-standing dominance, pushed Bangladesh into a volatile power vacuum, and placed India in the middle of a diplomatic standoff. As questions about justice, political motivation, and regional stability collide, the fallout of this verdict is reshaping South Asian geopolitics in real time.

The recent Afghanistan Pakistan war marks a dangerous escalation from border tensions to open state-level confrontation. What began with Pakistani airstrikes inside Afghan territory quickly spiraled into fierce Afghan retaliation, signaling Kabul’s newfound military assertiveness. This conflict exposes Pakistan’s growing vulnerabilities—diplomatic isolation, two-front pressure, and internal instability—while reshaping regional power equations.

For India, the turmoil presents both strategic opportunity and cautious optimism. A distracted Pakistan allows New Delhi to strengthen its influence in Afghanistan and consolidate regional partnerships. Meanwhile, the muted response from Gulf powers like Saudi Arabia and Qatar underscores Islamabad’s weakening alliances. As the Durand Line dispute reignites and media warfare intensifies, the Afghanistan Pakistan war stands as a defining moment in South Asia’s evolving geopolitical order—one that could tilt the balance of power in India’s favor.

The Gen Z Protests in Nepal go beyond anger over a social media ban—they represent decades of frustration with corruption, nepotism, unemployment, and poor governance. Fueled by rising inflation, scams, and lack of opportunities, Nepal’s youth have taken to the streets demanding accountability.

But behind the scenes, questions of Western interference and U.S. attempts to reshape the world order add a deeper geopolitical layer. For India, Nepal’s instability is more than a neighbor’s problem—it carries direct implications for security, migration, and regional power balance.

What if I told you that for the first time since 1996, the world’s central banks trust gold more than the mighty U.S. dollar? With over 36,000 tonnes of gold now in their vaults—more than their U.S. Treasury holdings—this quiet shift is shaking the foundations of global finance. Welcome to the era of de-dollarisation 2025.
