South Bloc Reports

If anyone requires an individual analysis, research report or investigation related to terrorism, geopolitics, international relations, security, illicit networks or other areas covered by SBR, they can always reach out to us through the direct message option on our Telegram channel. Follow: @SouthBlocReports

At the same time, many individuals and platforms have approached us for collaborations and partnerships across X, Instagram, WhatsApp and other platforms. SBR is always open to genuine collaborations that help improve research, reach the right audience and provide better information.

📍Because of this process, we may publish only around five to six major updates or analyses in a day. But whatever we publish is produced through our own research and analytical work.

📍Admin Message: A number of our respected audience members have reached out to us with a genuine question: why doesn't SBR post more regular current affairs and daily news updates? 📍The answer is, SBR is a registered organisation providing research and analytical services to private individuals, businesses and other entities. We work on a client-based model and therefore cannot publicly release every dataset, investigation or piece of research we develop. Much of our specialised research is prepared specifically for clients. 📍We focus primarily on investigative analysis. Every post takes time because we do our own research, analysis and data collection before publishing anything. The information and assessments we publish are based on our own research and, where applicable, information received from our sources and ground-level contacts. 📍We do not simply copy and paste news from websites, Telegram channels or other platforms.

🇷🇺🇮🇳🇨🇳 China has invested far more deeply into Russia's economy in recent years. But this also creates a geopolitical problem for China. 🇮🇳 India remains one of the few major powers that Russia can use to avoid becoming completely dependent on China. 🇷🇺 Russia may benefit enormously from Chinese money, trade and investment, but excessive dependence on China would reduce Russia's strategic independence. 🇮🇳🇷🇺 That is where India matters. Russia does not necessarily need India because India can replace China, it needs India because India gives Russia another option besides China. Follow: @SouthBlocReports

🇮🇳🇷🇺 India's Geopolitical Approach is different from Ideological Geopolitics: 📍PM Modi openly calls for the Russia–Ukraine war to end, but India has also been one of the major economic beneficiaries of the conflict. 📍India bought Russian crude at discounted prices, expanded trade with Russia and became a major supplier of refined petroleum products to Europe. 📍We made money, protected our energy security and continued saying that the war should end. 📍That's not hypocrisy in geopolitics, that's realism.

🇵🇰📍PMML and its agents are back on the streets again, 📍Because apparently, every flood is election season for them. Flood rescue camps, relief activities and cameras appear immediately, sometimes seemingly faster than Pakistan's official disaster response team. 📍The only problem?
