Why did the Modi–Putin meeting matter so much—and what was really discussed behind closed doors? In this episode of FO° Talks, Fair Observer’s Chief Strategy Officer Peter Isackson speaks with Kanwal Sibal, former Indian foreign secretary of India, to decode the strategic meaning of the recent India–Russia summit.

Despite strong rhetoric from Western governments, including the UK, France and Canada, the United States continues to shield Israel from accountability.

Outside the Box: AI’s Take on the Musk–Trump Showdown
In “Outside the Box,” we engage AI in what actually can take place like a conversation with an intelligent friend. We share ideas and challenge the standard explanations. AI is constantly evolving. LLMs have begun exhibiting contrasting styles and behavior. Speaking of contrasting styles, the spectacular clash these past few days between two powerful personalities at the summit of the US government offered my AI friends and myself an opportunity to explore some of these differences of style.

Trump’s New Diplomacy: How Tariffs Can Reshape US Foreign Policy
During his speech at the US-Saudi Investment Forum, Trump reengaged with Middle Eastern leaders and revived the Abraham Accords. His focus on trade-based incentives signals a broader shift toward selective tariff relief as a primary foreign policy tool instead of military intervention. This approach offers Washington its best shot at peace in the Middle East by using trade incentives to build lasting regional cooperation.
