One of the primary reasons #Azerbaijan emerged victorious during its conflict with #Armenia in 2020 was that the Turkish #Bayraktar drones completely dominated the technologically inferior Armenian defense forces.

The conflict portrayed the success and effectiveness of the #Turkish drone program and its combat capabilities.
Türkiye has been able to challenge industry behemoths like the #US and #Israel to capture market share in #drone exports.

Even in the #RussiaUkraine conflict, they were able to inflict considerable damage on #Russian forces.
They have striking precision capabilities and come with relatively lesser price tags compared to their US and Israeli alternatives.

The effect of the #UkraineRussiaWar on the EU's quest for #StrategicAutonomy according to CICIR analyst Zhang Jian.
🔹CICIR is one of #China's most influential think tanks with links to the 🇨🇳 Ministry of State Security.

🪧 What is EU #StrategicAutonomy?
According to Zhang at least, it means the #EU “breaking away from US control and gaining the power to make strategic decisions on its own.”

1⃣ “The crisis in #Ukraine has rendered the already unpromising prospects of the EU's strategic autonomy even bleaker.”
Based on the 2022 province #GDP numbers, today's piece offers a window into how several aspects of #China's #economic development have performed over the previous year, which could provide them an advantage in the post-#pandemic recovery. 🧵(1/12): gingerriver.com/p/top-dogs-rat…
1) South China’s Guangdong Province and east China’s Jiangsu Province still led the way, remaining as the only two major economic powerhouses with their gross domestic product (GDP) exceeding 10 trillion yuan (about 1.47 trillion U.S. dollars). (2/12)
Guangdong has ranked first for 34 consecutive years, while Jiangsu has come second for 30 years in a row. (3/12)
#geopolitical tedium is not for me. I like the world of ordinary matter and energy (and physics and chemistry and all of it) far too much. I like tools and instruments and equipment, and knowing how to use them. fretting about #Russia or #China is not my highest priority.

yet American #politics and political #media have completely inundated popular culture—because @jack Dorsey and #MarkZuckerberg permitted the politicization of #Internet #socialmedia. on specious grounds they kicked down the door between "public" and "private" online.

At time when #EU & #Transatlantic unity are key, @Bundeskanzler visit to Beijing — Moscow’s “no limits” friend — is bad for both. 🇩🇪is not only Europe’s biggest econ it’s also #G7 chair. A solo visit, (even a duo w/ @EmmanuelMacron), sends wrong signal 1/5

The fact that visit is happening a few short weeks after #XiJingping secured third mandate to lead China🇨🇳 under an almost single-man rule is also the wrong message. Some say pragmatism, I say short sigthedness & narrow self-interest. In fact, meeting at margins of #G20 2/5
in 🇮🇩 would be the right
format. This would be even more pragmatic because: 1) it would show force & unity at challenging moment for #EU-#China relations, with a meeting w/ Xi bringing other #EU countries present 🇫🇷🇮🇹(🇪🇸🇳🇱 are invited) + 🇪🇺 @eucopresident & @vonderleyen. 3/5

Today is #WorldPopulationDay, which reminds us that while #ElonMusk is determined to contribute to increasing the population, he has also managed to upset the existing one, by backing out of the Twitter deal. Good thing that the markets were more stable, than Musk’s mood. 1/7
Talking about the “impending recession” seems to be the trend. So, it was a surprise last week, when both the #Sensex & the #Nifty went ↑ by almost 3%. Potential reasons? Maybe the cooldown in the prices of #commodities. This helps sectors like #Auto, #Realty, & #FMCG. 2/7
So naturally, both the #NiftyFMCG & #NiftyRealty were ↑ over 5%. #NiftyAuto was also ↑ 3.5%. In fact, every sectoral index was painting the town green. Global indices were also mostly up. The S&P 500 was ↑ 1.94% & the #NASDAQ100 ↑ by 4.6%. 3/7

As violent tragedy unfolds in Ukraine, what may appear as a relative lack of #market reaction in the U.S. belies the great uncertainty, lack of conviction and anemic #TradingLiquidity across #markets today.
Indeed, only six times in the last 10 years has top-of-book #liquidity on the #SPX been as low as it has been recently.
Additionally, we have been witnessing remarkable daily ranges in the #SPX, comparable to only a handful of major periods/events over the past dozen years.
Which is the greater military power: #PRC with 60,000 troops massed on India’s border(for ~2 years) or #RF with 100,000 troops massed on Ukraine border(for ~ 2 months)?
A thread on imagining impacts of the #Metaverse on “my” world. How will the job of a #geopolitics analyst be different? How will this new platform change international relations in general and the #Gulf in particular? Feel free to add your take, it’s simply thinking out loud.

First, meetings & events. #Zoom events are here to stay, alongside in-person ones. But a digital event on #Metaverse could be so much better and closer to a real-life experience, enhanced by instant access to resources 2/
Then, outputs. Will it make sense to write papers when you can produce an interactive output combining texts, recordings, images/videos in the form of a meta-research on #geopolitics on #Metaverse? 3/

Good that #SaudiArabia & #UAE have pledged #NetZero but #GCC total domestic emissions are only 2.4% of world’s. The #EU needs to focus on the emissions they export, mostly to #China, I argue how: bit.ly/2XOK8bG 2/
As shown by the #SaudiGreenInitiative & #MiddleEastGreenInitiative + #UAE willingness to host #COP 28, the #GCC leaders now see a political value in embracing the #climate agenda. This paper described what each #GCC country is actually *doing* about it: bit.ly/2XOK8bG 3/

1/12: Will the UK #integratedreview of security & #foreignpolicy really make a difference? It was billed as a radical reset after #Brexit & does contain important innovations. But there are many areas of continuity. A thread, now we’ve had time to digest..
2/12: #GlobalBritain hyperbole was inevitable. A “science superpower”, a “#softpower superpower”, “an independent country free to tread our own path”. But to be fair, beneath the froth lies serious thought to frame international & domestic priorities.
3/12: The #geopolitical analysis is sober. A tougher, more competitive world where China looms large & old certainties no longer apply. Yet the core prescription is familiar. British foreign policy with global reach, defending liberal democratic values, rule of law & trade.

Having read through the #UK #IntegratedReview a few personal observations from a 🇩🇪 perspective, focusing on just a few key points - short thread
Very good to see how clearly the #IntegratedReview prioritizes #Europe & the #UK role via #NATO
Also good to see that cooperation with the #EU in the area of #security is specifically referenced.
Also good to see that cooperation with the #EU in the area of #security is specifically referenced.
The #IntegratedReview appropriately highlights #geopolitical & #geoeconomic shifts and the importance of the #IndoPacific while being realistic about what #UK #capabilities can achieve in that part of the world (emphasis on diplomacy & partnerships).
Few Indians know about the Pakistani aggression in 1965 , the 2nd major aggression after 1947. A cntry <1/15 our economic size/power could repeatedly aggress against us, bcs of its smartness in aligning with No 1 superpower, & using latter for its own purposes(+higher gr rt<1986)
2/pak After 20yrs of "non-alignment" we had to enhance our #Geopolitical power by signing the "Indo-Soviet treaty of Friendship and Co-operation," with the No 2 Super power, before taking successful action in 1970-71 [Power pyramid: Economic, Military, Geopolitical, Will to power
3/pak If we have to sign a similar treaty with current super power to ward of aggression by the No 2 power & its ally, there is no shame n it. It is far more honorable than becoming a serf or vassal of a nasty communist dictatorship that commits genocide & enslaves its own people
