India Is Multi-Aligned But Non-Allied

What most in the Alt-Media Community struggle to accept is that multipolarity doesn’t imply a geopolitical utopia wherein problems between all non-Western countries immediately disappear due to their shared interest in moving past the US-centric unipolar system.

The geopolitics of Balochistan’s hybrid insurgency

Recently, Pakistan was rocked by the Baloch Liberation Army’s “Herof Phase 2” offensive, a coordinated assault across nine districts that combined urban raids, rural guerrilla tactics, suicide missions, and psychological warfare. This was not simply an internal security lapse, it was a geopolitical tremor reverberating across South Asia.

Western perceptions of China have become profoundly irrational

China is receiving a wave of high-profile visits by world leaders lately. At least five world leaders have visited Beijing in January alone. And the momentum continues on February.

When The Guardian reported on British Prime Minister Keir Starmer’s recently concluded China trip, it stated, “Starmer hopes his China trip will begin the thaw after recent ice age.”

India and the South Caucasus

The South Caucasus – comprising Armenia, Azerbaijan, and Georgia – is a small but geopolitically significant region, susceptible to intense competition between regional and global powers. It is also situated at a strategic crossroads between Russia, Europe, the Middle East, and Asia. The 2020 Nagorno-Karabakh War, which was followed by the expulsion of 120,000 ethnic Armenians from Nagorno-Karabakh and Azerbaijan’s forcible takeover of the entire region in September 2023, shifted the regional balance of power in favour of Azerbaijan.

The Baloch Insurgency in Pakistan: Evolution, Tactics, and Regional Security Implications

Abstract: The Baloch insurgency in Pakistan has intensified sharply since the beginning of 2025, marked by sophisticated attacks such as the Jaffar Express hijacking by Baloch Liberation Army-Jeeyand faction (BLA-J) on March 11, 2025, which resulted in the kidnapping of more than 400 passengers and death of at least 26 hostages. Groups such as BLA-J, Balochistan Liberation Front (BLF), and Baloch Liberation Army-Azad faction (BLA-A) continue to deploy suicide bombers, including women, and temporarily seize territories, targeting Chinese nationals and China-Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC) projects. The insurgency’s regional spillover, especially into Iran, and competition for resources and prominence among factions of the insurgency further complicate Pakistan’s internal security. The Baloch Raaji Aajohi Sangar (BRAS) coalition among some of the major Baloch armed groups involved in the conflict enables large-scale, coordinated strikes, undermining counterterrorism efforts. Without a political resolution addressing long-standing grievances, the insurgency threatens to escalate, destabilizing both national and regional security.

Chine : La purge militaire comme stratégie de survie – et ce qu’elle révèle pour l’AES

Quand l’infiltration devient une arme, seule la discipline d’État empêche l’implosion.

Il faut sortir du commentaire superficiel et regarder le cas chinois avec la froideur d’un stratège. Ce qui se déroule au sommet de la hiérarchie militaire chinoise n’est pas une simple chronique de corruption, encore moins un «fait divers politique». C’est un événement doctrinal, un signal brutal adressé au monde : les grandes puissances ne tolèrent jamais la vulnérabilité interne, surtout lorsqu’elles entrent dans une phase de confrontation systémique avec leurs rivaux.
