The world is entering a new geopolitical era.
The Russia-Ukraine War continues with no clear end in sight, while the US-Iran conflict has deepened uncertainty across the Middle East.

As global power shifts accelerate, countries like India face difficult questions about diplomacy, energy security, trade, and strategic autonomy.
In this episode of India & The World, Nidhi Razdan(@Nidhi) speaks with Suhasini Haider(@suhasinih), Diplomatic Editor at The Hindu, and Michael Feller(@geopolfeller), former Australian diplomat and Chief Strategist at Geopolitical Strategy, about how the changing world order could reshape India's foreign policy.

The discussion covers:
• Russia-Ukraine War and its global impact
• US-Iran conflict and Middle East geopolitics
• Is the rules-based international order breaking down?
• Can the United Nations still influence world affairs?
• BRICS vs QUAD: What role do these groupings play?
• India's strategic autonomy in an increasingly divided world
• How global conflicts affect India's economy, energy security, trade, and connectivity
• Should India rethink its foreign policy priorities in a multipolar world?

Watch the full conversation and join the discussion.

Trump has reiterated his claims to Greenland, with talks allegedly scheduled for Wednesday.

Denmark is taking him at his word, but underscoring existing military and mineral access is not the point. Trump wants Greenland because it’s big and he can. More in @GeopolDispatch

Delcy’s softened tone, Trump’s overtures, and the ease of Maduro’s rendition (plus his buoyant mood in jail) suggest an inside job. But whether he, she or others were involved, the regime’s ongoing role suggests a reluctance in DC to take further action. More in @GeopolDispatch

It's the time of year for geopolitical predictions, but amid so much uncertainty few age better than a New Year resolution. Enter our 2026 wildcards instead. Today in @GeopolDispatch

@KaterynaLis Queen Elizabeth II is there as well, judging from the portrait on the wall. A bit like an Australian services club, but with more gilt.

2025 was a big year in geopolitics. There was Trump, tech, and tariffs. There was also tragedy, turmoil, and travesty, as well as trolling and trophies. Much of it was separate. Most of it was interlinked. More in @GeopolDispatch

Europe will borrow €90bn against the EU budget after a plan to use frozen Russian assets failed.

This is good for Kyiv, but in the wake of Berlin's €50bn military procurement, it could weaken long-term support for EU accession once the war ends.

Trump listed his wins Wednesday and announced a $1776 for members of the military. GOP moderates, meanwhile, joined Democrats to force a vote on Obamacare.

"Stimmie checks" are a sign of political weakness. The MAGA coalition is cracking. What's next? More in @GeopolDispatch

Oil rose after Trump announced "a total and complete" blockade of sanctioned tankers to and from Venezuela, until “oil, land, and other assets" were returned.
This shift in tactics, and narratives, speaks of something else.

Donald Trump has designated fentanyl a WMD.
PDVSA was been hit by a cyberattack.
A JetBlue flight recorded a near miss with a US air tanker.

When you add this up, it looks like regime change is coming to Venezuela. But US goals remain unclear.

The antisemitic massacre at Bondi Beach has shocked the world.

Netanyahu has singled out Australia’s recognition of Palestine. Mossad allegedly suspects Iran. But the reality is more damning: a breakdown in social cohesion and deep political complacency.

The US National Security Strategy took many by surprise. Leaks of the classified version look even more surprising.
Welcome to a new multipolar era and the return of spheres of influence, the topic of this week's essay in @GeopolDispatch, written by my colleague Oscar Martin.

Takaichi continues to be tested by China.

Usually, Chinese coercion would be met with a firmer allied response, but the US is focused on stabilisation. US insistence that Japan rearm is causing Tokyo to not just take higher costs, but higher risk.

The US has seized a tanker off Venezuela, which Caracas calls "blatant theft".

But while it can easily ‘win’ against drug boats, if not tankers and Maduro’s rickety regime, such victories will stay pyrrhic without a theory of change.

Zelensky says he has "no right to give anything away". Trump says a "decaying" Europe's leaders are "weak" and Zelensky is "losing."

Trump is frustrated that his peace plan hasn’t been accepted. He sees EU intransigence as the factor. What happens next? More in @GeopolDispatch

Trump said Nvidia could ship H200 chips to China as the DoJ announced the arrest of two men charged with smuggling the same via Hong Kong. China's trade surplus, meanwhile, topped $1 trillion. Is the US trading away its remaining leverage?
