27 MAR. 2025 · Trump administration is under fire after a leaked Signal group chat revealed sensitive Yemen attack plans. The Atlantic’s Editor-in-Chief, Jeffrey Goldberg, was inadvertently included in a confidential discussion detailing U.S. military strategies, including F-18 launches and drone strikes. Senate Democrats, led by Chuck Schumer, have demanded a Justice Department probe, while Trump officials, including National Security Advisor Michael Walz and Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, face intense scrutiny. Despite mounting pressure, the White House continues to downplay the security breach, dismissing the report as a hoax. In this episode of Geeta’s World, we break down the leaked messages, the political fallout, and what this means for U.S. national security.

4 FEB. 2025 · Donald Trump built his image as tough on China—tariffs, tech bans, and military alliances to counter Beijing. But now, he's making moves that hint at a potential deal. From inviting Xi Jinping to his inauguration to softening trade threats, could Trump actually strike a geopolitical peace with China? And if he does, what would it mean for India?

2 ENE. 2025 · 2024 wasn't just a year of elections but a year of reckoning. Dubbed the "super year," it witnessed a global wave of anti-incumbency. From the UK to South Africa, Japan to France, ruling parties, whether left or right, were humbled—or defeated outright.
What does this global rejection of incumbents signify? Do these trends signal a demand for genuine systemic change or simply a cyclical rejection of the status quo?
Back home, following the grand success of the G20 summit in 2023, this year, cracks emerged in its "Neighbourhood First" policy as relations with Myanmar, Nepal, Maldives, Bangladesh, Pakistan, China, and Sri Lanka faltered. Experts suggest a strategic shift may be overdue.
So, how should India's foreign diplomacy and global standing be assessed today? Has its global stature diminished?

25 DIC. 2024 · On December 20, tragedy struck Magdeburg's Christmas market when a black SUV ploughed through holiday shoppers. Four women and a nine-year-old boy died, while 200 others were injured, including seven Indians.
The suspect, Taleb Al-Abdulmohsen, a 50-year-old Saudi psychiatrist, has been arrested. He had been granted asylum in Germany in 2016 and was critical of the “Islamism of Europe.”
He is also a staunch supporter of the far-right and anti-immigrant Alternative for Germany (AfD) party. And Nancy Faeser, Germany’s interior minister, said after the attack that he was “obviously Islamophobic”. So, what do we know of this man, and was this attack political?
And, German Chancellor Olaf Scholz faces backlash over alleged security lapses, as Saudi Arabia had flagged Al-Abdulmohsen’s radical views as early as 2007 and had requested extradition. Germany refused, fearing for his safety.
So, why did Germany ignore Saudi warnings?

18 DIC. 2024 · South Korean President Yoon Suk Yeol has been impeached by the National Assembly, making him the third president in the country to face suspension through such a vote.
The impeachment was triggered by Yoon's decision to impose martial law. Although the martial law lasted only six hours, it plunged the nation into political chaos. But why did Yoon resort to such a drastic measure in the first place?
The impeachment now moves to South Korea's Constitutional Court, which has 180 days to decide its outcome. However, formally removing Yoon from office will not be an easy task. Why is the path to his formal impeachment so challenging?

11 DIC. 2024 · On December 8, rebel forces stormed Damascus and ousted President Bashar al-Assad, who had been ruling Syria since 2000. Reports suggest Assad has fled to Russia, where he has sought asylum.
For over 53 years, the Assad family—first Hafez, then Bashar—has governed Syria. So how did the Assads, an Alawite Shia family, a minority in Syria, maintain control in a predominantly Sunni country?
Now, the question is: who will govern Syria? One potential leader is HTS chief Abu Mohammed al-Jolani. He has pledged to protect minorities and women and says he has no intentions to impose strict Islamic law. However, his complex past suggests he could shift his political stance as needed. Will al-Jolani emerge as a reformist, or will he follow a path akin to Al-Qaeda?
