The Russia-Ukraine war is changing the very foundations of the global order. As the debris settle, we will see a more militarised Europe & a more multipolar world with repercussions for India's interests as well, writes Dr. Swasti Rao Moscow’s invasion of Ukraine is likely to be a hinge point in contemporary history. It has shown that brute power politics and the threat of war can very well be unleashed in the most developed, democratic and industrialised parts of the world. The concomitant background of the rather overdone ‘conflicting sphere of influence’ debate does not explain the unfolding ground situation....

In the latest incident, a potential high-profile defection from China leaves open the possibility of the West getting inside information into one of Beijing’s most advanced hypersonic weapons. China’s Stringent State Secret Laws China’s state secret laws cover almost everything starting from industry data, all the way to the exact birth dates of state leaders. Information can even be designated as a state secret retroactively. There is a wide range of punishments for leaking such sensitive information. In the most serious cases, a life sentence or death penalty can be doled out. For instance, in 2016, a Chinese computer technician...

BEIJING—As the arms race between the United States and China heats up, Beijing has unveiled its deadliest weapon yet: an ICBM that can be launched through space and then fly over America playing Dave Chappelle jokes. China tested the missile with a launch into U.S. airspace earlier this week. We would have shot it down, but our generals were too busy in a CRT training seminar led by four-star Admiral Rachel Levine. "We're doomed! Everyone run for your lives!" screamed one liberal in San Francisco as the missile flew overhead playing his latest special. "He's saying things that are off-color...

One of my favorite movies was October Sky, released in 1999. Homer Hickham, a coal miner’s son was inspired by the first Sputnik launch to take up rocketry against his father’s wishes. He builds rockets with the help of his friends and the encouragement of his teacher Miss Riley. Homer’s final rocket launch could be seen for miles and miles. We were always proud to be Americans. Recently, the proud Chinese military also: launched a rocket (DF-17) carrying a hypersonic glide vehicle that flew through low-orbit space, circling the globe before cruising towards its target, which it missed by two...
