Schools are like a compass in a storm. They can point the way, but they can't stop the wind. The real question isn't whether the compass is good—it's whether the kid has a map, a jacket, and someone to walk with. A good school can help, but it's not a magic bullet. It’s one tool in a toolbox that’s mostly built by the world outside the classroom.

The U.S. National Security Strategy’s emphasis on "America First" contrasts with calls for India to play a larger military role in the South China Sea, creating tension between non-interventionist rhetoric and strategic pushback against China. CFR notes internal inconsistencies, while Zero Hedge highlights efforts to pivot India toward regional activism. Trust in the document’s coherence remains low.
