If 2020 was the year of pandemic then 2021 will be the year of creation of new blocks and disruptive technologies. Countries like China will take advantage of a vulnerable world and strengthen their position. This year may go down in the history when disruptive technologies would be seriously employed without giving much thought to human values.

The top likely and desired strategic trends of 2021 could be:

  • China moves to the Americas
  • The South China Sea is passé watch out for the Indian Ocean Region
  • NATO: Turkey out and Russia in
  • Halting the Chinese bandwagon in the Middle East and the Mediterranean
  • Pakistan in Israeli Orbit
  • Technology that scares you

    2021 will be a year of disruption.

    As the vaccines will be available soon, the changes are taking place will be faster. The RCEP has provided China with some much needed economic breathing space. It might be sufficient to keep itself afloat in the immediate future.

    The PLA, however, is in a standoff with the Indian Army at the LAC. This might turn into a skirmish or mutate into a short-term war. The most likely time for this to happen would be the end of summer in the months of May-June.

    Technology will the prime driver of business and economy in the future and will encompass our lives furthermore. The acceleration of technology started by the pandemic will only increase in the days ahead.

    But the biggest geopolitical change is happening in the Middle East. The pandemic disrupted the entire oil-based economy. The drying of the oil wells and the coffers of these kingdoms whose economy was dependent on oil saw huge political and social upheaval. UAE secularising itself to an extent, women being given more rights in Saudi Arabia, the relaxation of the kafala system transmogrified onto the political stage with the Abraham Accords which saw the start of Arab nations starting to normalise ties with Isreal.

    The year 2021 is one where the world is going to press the reset button.

    Technology is scary. Don’t know if this is true or not, but I read somewhere that Big Tech is working on mind and thought-reading technology. I hope this isn’t true.

Once you have a big readership and pressure from various websites to write for them, you would get lesser and lesser time to enhance your knowledge.

    Good day everyone, my name is Anthony and I’m here to testify about the good things God has done for me through Dr Williams.I was diagnosed of Herpes for about ten years and I have been to so many hospital but nothing could be done .I spent thousand of dollars going to hospital all to no avail.Last month I went to Germany for an official trip.while in the train,I heard a man talking on phone about how he got cured with herbal medication by Dr williams and I laughed knowing how much I have spent on medical appointment so I thought it was incurable but something told me to try the herbs and I had to take Dr williams number from him.I contacted Dr Williams, he sent me the herbs and to God be the glory ,Herpes of ten years plus is completely gone .Please for your own safety you can reach him on his whatsapp number and I assure you, you will be free within two weeks. His herbs are superb and can cure any kind of diseases like Cancer,Ulcers,HIV/Aids and so on .I have tested it and I’m a living witness.

      An Indian relationship is with the country and not the individual. Though the individual connection makes a difference, however, it is the national interest that has to be kept in mind.

    Best political blog. I’m learning much from you. Sandomina.

    Are you interested in Georgi Markov? I’ve enjoyed reading some English translations but most of his work, surprisingly, isn’t translated from the Bulgarian. He should be taught in schools.

    Thank you.
