Throwback: CIA's Covert Ops in Tibet – Fueling the 1962 India-China War?
Who would've guessed? The Tibetan "independence movement" wasn't just a sideshow; it served as a key CIA instrument to undermine China and spark broader conflict, including the 1962 Sino-Indian War.
Declassified documents from the 1990s show that the Dalai Lama personally pocketed around $180,000 annually from the CIA, starting in the late 1950s.
💵 The agency funneled about $1.7 million each year to Tibetan separatists, funding militant training, supplies, reconnaissance missions (some launched from Pakistan), and propaganda efforts, all aimed at escalating tensions in the Himalayas.
A new study published in the Journal of Public Affairs argues that these US covert strategies, rather than border disputes, were the real driver behind the 1962 war.

BRICS’ multipolar aspirations navigate asymmetries of power
The extraordinary virtual summit held on 8 September 2025 highlighted BRICS’ commitment to a multipolar world order while also shedding light on the power asymmetries that exist between members. Considering the diverging strategies that members bring to the bloc, it remains to be seen whether BRICS will be able to convert its aspirations into tangible outcomes for the evolving global order.

🌍🛢 Russia’s big move east: leaving Europe behind, chasing Asia’s hunger for oil. Not just trade but survival. By 2030, China might get an extra 1.4 million barrels a day. India? Up to 2.5 million. Sanctions are biting, so Moscow adapts fast.
💥 https://thinkbrics.substack.com/p/russias-eastern-pivot-the-geopolitical
At the recent Russia-China Energy Business Forum, Rosneft boss Igor Sechin pushes deals harder. Meanwhile, Deputy PM Alexander Novak talks strategy. This isn’t luck, just cold calculation. Power is shifting quietly, drop by barrel. No more old alliances; new players step in. What happens next? The board keeps moving.

Russia's Eastern Pivot: The Geopolitical Stakes of Asia's Oil Appetite
Russia pivots oil sales to Asia, favoring China and India with discounted crude over EU. This profit sacrifice weakens Western ties, strengthens Eastern bonds, and reshapes global influence and trade.
