"International treaties can't be annulled unilaterally," proclaimed Indian Home Minister Amit Shah in reference to the 1960 Indus Waters Treaty — a declaration so earnest, you’d think India had appointed itself the last guardian of international law. In today’s "might makes

Today marks the 40th anniversary of the deadliest single act of aviation terrorism to date: the bombing of Air India Flight 182 by Canada-based Sikh extremists, which killed all 329 people on board — most of them of Indian origin. A second bomb planted on another Air India flight

This post from Marjorie Taylor Greene—who on almost every other issue has been a staunch Trump supporter—reflects the divide in the MAGA movement over Trump’s action in pulling the U.S. into a war with Iran, which could trigger more dangerous escalations. x.com/mtgreenee/stat…

Art of the ceasefire: U.S. pretends to obliterate Iran's nuclear sites Iran pretends to retaliate Israel pretends to have won

Trump's ego-driven showmanship: That Trump’s Israel–Iran ceasefire announcement caught even his own top officials by surprise speaks volumes about his governing style. It underscores an impulsive, go-it-alone approach to foreign policy, with major decisions made without

Look at the paradox: The same U.S. president who approved Israel’s preemptive war on Iran — and then pulled the U.S. into the conflict by bombing Iranian nuclear facilities that were under international safeguards — now wants credit for brokering a ceasefire. If Trump faces no

My column: While the U.S. decries the risk of an Iranian bomb, it long aided Pakistan's covert nuclear program. Now, Pakistan uses its nuclear arsenal as a shield for cross-border terrorism. This poses a more immediate threat than Iran’s hypothetical bomb. project-syndicate.org/commentary/us-…

A question for supporters of airstrikes on Iran. If this outcome had resulted from a negotiation, would you support it? This outcome=Fordow, Natanz, Isfahan blown up BUT HEU & centrifuge components survived; no IAEA inspections; no commitment not to rebuild.

Based on videos taken in Jordan, Sam Lair was able to identify all of Israel's missile defense sites, determine the interceptor type based on their burn-time and then estimate the number of interceptors fired. A tour-de-force. armscontrolwonk.com/archive/122052…

The U.S., a nuclear superpower, and Israel, a clandestine nuclear-armed state, have sent an unmistakable message: only the weak follow rules, and only the strong are safe. As long as you have nuclear weapons, you can violate international law at will. project-syndicate.org/commentary/us-…

China’s Muslim gulag in Xinjiang has attracted significant international attention, even if it has not led to meaningful sanctions. But China's forcible separation of up to one million Tibetan children from their families — part of a campaign to erase Tibetan identity — has

Despite having been considerably weakened by the recent conflict, Iran has declared victory over Israel and the U.S. — a claim as hollow as Pakistan’s after India devastated Pakistani air bases and air defenses during the May 7–10 hostilities. Earlier, Israel significantly

Instead of exercising its legal right under international law to suspend or withdraw from the Indus Waters Treaty, India opted for a half-measure — a political gesture rather than a legal action — by placing the treaty "in abeyance," a term with no standing in international law.

"Trump, like other U.S. presidents, is confronting a deeper problem that undercuts whatever restrainer impulses he might have: There is a strong structural bias toward the exercise of American power around the world." politico.com/news/magazine/…

My column: China continues to militarize and repress Tibet while intensifying efforts to erase Tibetan culture, language and identity. Tibet’s imperiled future is a challenge to the global order, to religious freedom, and to Asia's environmental security. thehill.com/opinion/intern…

India should exercise its legal right under international law to suspend or withdraw from the Indus Waters Treaty. Clean breaks are better than half measures

The US says it will not tolerate an Iranian bomb. But, throughout the 1980s and 1990s, the US aided and abetted Pakistan’s covert pursuit of the bomb, and funneled billions in aid to the country. The result is a fragile state armed with an “Islamic bomb.” project-syndicate.org/commentary/us-…

Where is #Bangladesh's #politics headed under the Interim Govt of Muhammad #Yunus? This can be answered from a no. of different ways. One of these ways is to look at the parties which have been empowered and disempowered under this regime. On the one hand, there is the status
