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 ...

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...
