Dec 31 The beginning or end of global anarchy—sparking new hopes and aspirations.

Happy new year to our readers

As the curtain fell on 2025’s tempestuous geopolitical theatre, this bespoke epistle for your blog contemplates the year’s seismic fissures—from Gaza’s protracted cataclysm and Ukraine’s attritional quagmire to the vicissitudes of Trump’s mercurial realpolitik and China’s inexorable economic coercion—whilst auguring 2026’s vertiginous vista of multipolar disaggregation and amplified perils.

💔2025’s Geopolitical Reckoning

This annum inscribed an indelible tableau of normative dissolution, wherein Gaza’s ruination laid bare the enfeeblement of jus gentium, Ukraine’s impasse persisted amid Russian irredentism, and Levantine tinderboxes—epitomised by Iran-Israel contretemps—engendered cascading disequilibria.

The Trumpian dispensation inaugurated a paradigm of transactional suzerainty: emporia levied upon confederates from Brasilia to Bruxelles, strictures upon putative foes, and a repudiation of quixotic crusades in favour of remunerated aegis—concomitant with Peking’s stranglehold on rare earths, reconfiguring sinews of commerce and flux.

Afflictions in Somaliland, DRC, Sudan, Haiti, and Somalia exacerbated anthropogenic calamities, as artifices of intelligence and thermonuclear sabre-rattling superimposed strata of technocratic and ontological jeopardy.

💗Prospects for 2026

Anticipate unremitting vicissitude: Americo-Sinic estrangement hastens beneath Trumponomic exigencies, with sextuagenary tariffs upon the Middle Kingdom provoking ripostes and planetary reconfiguration; Muscovy endures as pariah in Ukraine and its purlieus; domains of hegemony congeal around Washington, Peking, the Eurocracy, and meridional potentates vying for tellurides, arcana technologica, and axiological suasion.

Perils of conflagration impend across the Formosan littoral, the Choson promontory, and African mineral melees, whilst median powers—ASEAN and the Gulf Cooperation Council—contrive palliatives amid pandemonium. Multipolarity begets bounty for the adroit yet apocalypse for the uninitiated, with arsenals nucleares and emasculations of succour exacting direst toll.

💖Gratitude to Esteemed Readers

Profoundest obeisance to this conclave of perspicacious intellects—your perscrutations of Indo-Pacific frictions, Levantine dialectics, and oeconomic oracles have whetted every disquisition herein. In concert, we vivisect the visceral kinematics of dominion.

🎉Aspirations for the Ensuing Annus

May 2026 confer perspicuity amid maelstrom, fortitude contra fulgurations, and epiphanies in navigating the multipolar labyrinth.

Salubrity, prescience, and opulence unto you severally.

🇸🇦Gratitude to our founders and sponsors

Happy New Year 2026!
