In the grand tapestry of history, no thread is brighter than the one connecting East and West. This intricate exchange of ideas, trade, and philosophies — what we might call the Tao of Terra — has shaped our world in profound ways. Historian Will Durant, in his monumental work The Story of Civilisation, opened with Continue reading »
On 30 January 2025, CNN carried a long, detailed article, accompanied by photographs entitled Suicidal tendencies and ’80s battlefield tactics: How North Korean soldiers are operating in Russia’s war on Ukraine.
