This weekend we are on vacation. Will be driving back home when I usually send out the newsletter.
There was so much to write about. So much to discuss but couldn't. Will find time during the weekend to share my thoughts on why the current Indian elections is so very important. Why it is so very important to vote for everyone.

Geostrategic engagements of Indian PM Modi and his cabinet suggest that India's actions are striking at the very root of the Deep State. That is why everyone from George Soros to his plant Donald Lu are busy planning. A deeper look.
India's ambitious Deepwater Greenfield Port at Vadhavan is set to revolutionize global trade routes and strengthen national security. How will it impact trade, security and geopolitics.
