Srijit Kumar BhadraGeopolitics extends beyond energy, minerals, arms and ammunition. It also acts through human vulnerability. Power seeks advantage from these weaknesses.
This pattern began with human civilization. Greed and the impulse to exploit weakness have always driven it. Little has changed. Human nature among elites remains much the same. The same vices endure: lust, vanity, fear and avarice. These continue to invite exploitation.
Digital surveillance now forms part of geopolitics. Weaponized cloud technologies add another dimension. Both operate at scale in the present era.
