The Gulf states aren’t just buyers of US weapons anymore. The UAE, Saudi Arabia and Qatar are all pushing to build defence systems at home, with Saudi Arabia targeting over 50% localisation by 2030.
Will that turn diplomatic activism into real strategic independence? @RanjAlaaldin weighs the evidence in the latest #RUSICommentary.

There's more security and police presence at the Jio listing at NSE than when the Prime Minister visits town.
It's a Jio carnival at the National Stock Exchange of India in Mumbai.
The country's largest telecom company will list today after a record-breaking IPO.
Fancy cars driving up with the city's business and financial leaders. Crowds on the street. A drum-playing band too. And plenty of security.
There's restricted access for media but an undeterred @business India team is reporting on location.

I still believe that the KLCC Park is one of the best things that have happened in KL since the 1990s.
The site used to host a polo club for the elites, now it’s an example of the democratization of green spaces, moving from exclusion to inclusion (for all to enjoy).

Flavio Bolsonaro was able to leave Brazil on an ITALIAN passport that he had due to La Lega’s rules on citizenship by descent. (Right-Wing)
He was transported safely to Argentina with his family and let in by their authorities due to intervention by Milei. (Right-Wing)
The plane then transported him to Ecuador where they were able to get on a jet into the United States of America. (Right-Wing)
Political asylum was directly granted by President Trump & Marco Rubio. (Right-Wing)
Not a single Leftist country was involved in this, except Brazil of course… the one he was fleeing for his life.

BREAKING: Defeated Brazilian presidential candidate Flavio Bolsonaro steps off a private jet in Miami after President Trump approved his entry into the United States despite a court order banning him from leaving his home country.
Bolsonaro reportedly used an Italian passport to cross into Argentina with his family before boarding a private plane that stopped in Ecuador on its way to Florida.
The Trump administration confirmed it is granting visas to Bolsonaro and his family, just days after his election defeat.

Yunus was asked to rule Bangladesh even before Hasina fell? Interesting post by Shafiqul Alam, former press secretary to Yunus. Alam says student leaders contacted Yunus through Qadaruddin Shishir, then editor of AFP Dhaka Fact Check team. Shishir facilitated initial talks, two days before Hasina regime fell.

#Grief: My nephew loved getting all my travel updates. Lots of little photo updates w/ some funny incidents or moments. My day would start with sharing my breakfast photo with him. He would then share his. This trip, I didn't take a single pic of my breakfasts. >

GCC Diaries:
From dramatic mountains to stunning coastlines, my Dubai–Muscat road trip was a revelation! Three takeaways:
Inter-GCC travel is smooth, harmonised and super safe, especially for women travellers
The UAE and Oman’s natural beauty is stunning and underrated. From dolphin watching to snorkeling to beaches and hiking, we did all
As the world frets about a possible war, explore the GCC! And right now it’s not crazy touristy, so you get the history, culture, nature and hospitality at reasonable rates:).
Next stop is road trip to Doha. Any recos, please do message.
