Geopolitics is the discipline of understanding how geography, power, and strategic interest shape the decisions of states and the conflicts that result. In an era of accelerating multipolarity — where US primacy is contested by China and Russia while middle powers assert independent strategic agency — rigorous geopolitical intelligence has never been more valuable to governments, corporations, and institutions navigating an uncertain world.
CommandEleven’s geopolitical analysis applies the tools of intelligence tradecraft to the biggest structural questions of the current order: How is the US-China competition reshaping the Indo-Pacific and global supply chains? What does Russian strategic doctrine mean for European security and NATO’s eastern flank? How are middle powers — India, Turkey, Saudi Arabia, Pakistan — positioning themselves in a world where alignment is increasingly transactional? And where do the flashpoints lie that could tip regional tension into direct great power conflict?
This category collects CommandEleven’s broader geopolitical and strategic analyses — pieces that operate above the tactical and operational level to examine the systemic forces and long-range trajectories that define the security environment our clients must navigate.

Following the Bombay High Court’s landmark decision on 20 July 2025, which acquitted 12 individuals (one of whom died during the trial) in the 2006 Mumbai train blasts case—an incident on 11 July 2006 where seven explosions on local trains along the Western Line killed 189 and injured 827 passengers, overturning convictions ranging from life imprisonment to the death penalty—the Government of India must now be recognized as the world champion of false flag operations, ruthlessly sacrificing its own citizens to advance political agendas. These acts are often orchestrated to falsely implicate Pakistan in particular, and Muslims in general, as perpetrators of terrorism.
India’s poor military performance against its much smaller neighbour Pakistan has regional and international consequences that will influence future diplomatic and military calculations, writes Claude Rakisits.
India’s military strikes deep into Pakistan is a major escalation of tensions between New Delhi and Islamabad following a recent terrorist attack in India-administered Kashmir. Pakistani retaliation is a distinct possibility, but both countries are fully aware how quickly things could get out of control.
The aftermath of the recent Pahalgam attack in Kashmir, for which Indian officials quickly pointed fingers at Pakistan, has only deepened hostilities. India used the incident to bolster its anti-Pakistan narrative planned for isolating Islamabad on the international stage.
Let’s recall our memories of a speech of a senior Pak Army official that he delivered as the chief guest at a military educational institution in Rawalpindi on India’s Republic Day in 2014, asserting that India poses no greater threat to Pakistan but extremism/terrorism does.
