Agamapar ChadhaAugust 13, 20220

US president Joe Biden was in Saudi Arabia recently. His prime objective was to get Saudi Arabia to increase its oil output so global crude prices could be lowered. Saudi Arabia responded by telling Biden Arabia to respond. Saudi Arabia told joe Biden that any decision to raise oil output would be taken by OPEC+ a Russian oil company. With such a diplomatic shift towards Russia and China, Saudi Arabia slowly inclines toward the anti-American side of world power for profiteering. Saudi Arabia has doubled its oil imports from Russia since the war in Ukraine began. Saudi Arabia imported 647 000 tons of Russian oil in the second quarter, from April to June. During the same period last year, the gulf kingdom imported 320 000 tons of oil from Russia  Russian oil, which used to go into ...

Ultimate Question Of Succession: Who Comes After Putin’s Death ?

Agamapar ChadhaAugust 12, 20220

Vladimir Putin has ruled over Russia for nearly two decades, but there's mounting speculation that he might have Parkinson's or some other neurological disorder. Now the big question is, when Putin is gone, who will succeed him, and what will the future of Russia be if Putin were to pass away? In April 2022, a video released by the Kremlin showed Putin with hunched shoulders, fidgeting and a restless foot which made many experts believe that he had some chronic issue. This is not surprising since it has been decades since his rise to power, and the ex-KGB agent is nearing 70. Regardless of the truthfulness of the matter, there are many men from the president's circle who could succeed him. Many experts believe Sergey Shoigu is among the most extreme of Putin's men. He's Russia's Defe...

Agamapar ChadhaAugust 4, 20220

There have been multiple attacks in Transdniester, a breakaway region of  Moldova that is a border state to Western Ukraine. The alleged attacks are suspected of Russia’s expansion further West. Moldavians fear for their lives as they see the terror of war unfolding in front of them in their backyard as two neighbours fight not-so-cordially. After meeting with her top security officers on April 26th, 2022, Moldavian President Maia Sandy accused the pro-war faction of trying to escalate the tension of armoured conflict. Contrary to this, Kyiv blamed Russia to be the perpetrator. Though the region of Transdniester is rebellious towards sovereignty to Moldova, the Russian presence of 2000 troops for thirty years guarding Europe’s largest Ammunitions depot, Cobana, is concerned for the

The Wagner Group: Emperor Putin’s Personal Regiment Group

Agamapar ChadhaJuly 28, 20220

The USA has well-established private militia companies willing to provide trained militants with arms to invade, defend or secure targets. Even the US government has given these companies the government to fight in the Afghan war, through which these firms have heavily profited and flourished in their ventures. On the other hand, most countries, including Russia, have banned the privatisation of armies. However, the 'Wagner Group, based in Argentina, has Russian ties despite not being a part or recognised as an extension of Russia's military. The group came into being after it supported the separatist forces in the self-declared Donetsk and Luhansk People's Republic from 2014 to 2015. The group was named 'Wagner' by its leader Dmitry Utkin in honour not Hitler's favourite composer.

London’s Lavish Life Levied As Dirty Russian Money Flows In Thames

Agamapar ChadhaJuly 19, 20220

London is arguably the ethereal realm for the most exquisite prime real estate. Garnished with the world's best brands in automobile, clothing and most delicate restaurant for the palates laced with Gold, it is a prime destination for the comfortably affluent worldwide. This may also include the oligarchs of Russia who stash their cash deep in London, where it remains safe. Britain was one of the first nations to sanction Russia in an attempt to handicap the nation; however, economically, this sincere motive turns duplicitous as Ruble's worth of cash is protected by the U.K. This has been taking place long before the war between Ukraine and Russia broke out with a Home office report finding a significant volume of Russian, or Russian-linked illicit finance channelled through the U.K...

F.S.B. Masha Gessen, an author and journalist, commented on his rule by saying, “So, he was trying to remake Russia in the image of the K.G.B.

Russo-Ukrainian War Melts Winter War Ice: Finland Moves Closer To Joining NATO

Agamapar ChadhaJuly 2, 20220

Sweden and, most importantly, Finland are the only E.U. not to join North Atlantic Treaty Organisation(N.A.T.O), constituting the U.S.A and other European countries. This is subject to change as both the countries come inches close to becoming part of N.A.T.O. after the Madrid summit on 29th June 2022. Finland achieved its independence from Russia in 1917. However, being at the border of a powerful state and losing a war resulted in losing 10% of their land. Finland opted for what war experts called ‘Finladisation’, i.e. opting to be neutral when bordered by a strong neighbour. The attack on Ukraine in Finland has changed its outlook. 62% of Fins have voted for joining N.A.T.O. in 2022, which had been 7% in 2017. Finland is primarily a key to this conflict if its membership in N.

‘I Kill Criminals, Not Children And Old’: Duterte And Putin Relationship Stumbles

Sayani ChakrabortyJune 2, 20220

Despite the fact that both Vladimir Putin and Rodrigo Duterte have been labeled as murderers, "I kill criminals, I don't kill children and the old," said Duterte, who is resigning as president of the Philippines. He made the remarks while speaking to cabinet members in front of cameras at a televised weekly meeting. It's like we're living in two distinct universes at the same time. On Tuesday, Duterte, who considers Putin an idol and a friend, slammed the three-month-old conflict for the rise in global oil prices that has hit several countries, including the Philippines, in his comments. However, he made it clear that he did not share Putin's displeasure at the abduction, and that he considered it an unrestricted act of war against "a sovereign country." More than 6,000 people...

Russia-Ukraine War: Sanctions On Life-Saving Drugs Likely To Create Miseries For Humanity

Pooja YadavApril 6, 20220

Putin might not be swayed by the suffering of individuals. Any interruption of the supply of medicines can create human misery with no gain. In response to Russia’s invasion of Ukraine and overwhelming destruction of property and loss of innocent lives, a variety of western companies – from Mcdonald's to Apple – stopped or severely limited their activities within the country. One glaring exception appears to be the bulk of western pharmaceutical companies that still supply medicines and equipment.
