NATO's Bipolar Summit
Asad Mirza Donald Trump turned NATO's Ankara summit into a one-man show - reviving Iran hostilities, threatening Spain, demanding Greenland, and needling allies - while Secretary-General Mark Rutte's flattery-and-spending strategy kept the alliance intact.

What followed was, by multiple accounts, a "marathon, high-energy performance" - the White House's own words - that left ...

The Modern Baloch Nationalism and the Taliban:Comparative Paths to Sovereignty in South Asia
By Fatima Baloch The Baloch are an ancient Kurd-Arab-rooted nation who live on both sides of the borders under Pakistani and Iranian control, as well as in parts of southern Afghanistan where they are relatively well established. Historically, Balochistan was divided primarily due to British colonial interests in the late nineteenth century. This division created buffer zones between the British Indian Empire, Persia (Iran), and Afghanistan through the Goldsmid Line (1871–1896). When British India was partitioned in 1947, the Khanate of Kalat (Eastern Balochistan) declared its indep...
