A proposito di questo titolo

Geopolitics, energy and defence — the stories the anglosphere doesn't cover, can't read, or won't say.

The Blind Spot investigates the geopolitical, military and energy stories that never reach English-speaking audiences — locked behind language barriers, buried in regional media, or simply deemed too inconvenient to export. Hosted by Ivana, a Korean-British journalist based in Singapore with two decades of lived experience across the Gulf, Southeast Asia and Latin America, each episode moves forensically through the gap between what's happening and what you're being told. No noise. No agenda. Just the story.

  • The LNG Trap: How the Iran War Broke the Gas Market for a Generation

    The LNG Trap: How the Iran War Broke the Gas Market for a Generation
    Apr 6 2026

    The Iran war spiked LNG prices to three times their pre-war level.

    It also destroyed the demand base the incoming supply wave was built to serve.

    Both things happened simultaneously. That's the trap — and it will define energy markets until the mid-2030s.

    New on The Blind Spot: the structural logic beneath the crisis. Who survives the trough. Why Qatar's cost advantage couldn't protect its strategic position. And why the war's most enduring energy legacy may be accelerating Asia's clean energy transition — by accident.

  • The Hormuz Reckoning

    The Hormuz Reckoning
    Apr 3 2026

    The 2026 US-Israel war on Iran has closed the Strait of Hormuz, triggering the largest energy supply disruption since the 1970s. Brent crude has hit $117/bbl. Qatar's LNG is offline for years. Thirty-one million migrant workers face displacement. Gulf airlines are haemorrhaging $1.5bn weekly. Regimes are under political stress. And the conditions for radical Sunni radicalisation are quietly assembling. A forensic analysis by The Blind Spot.

  • why extreme wealth fails the gulf

    why extreme wealth fails the gulf
    Apr 2 2026

    Qatar is the wealthiest country in a 28-nation quality-of-life study. It ranks last. Adjusted for what its $114,000 GDP per capita should be producing, Qatar falls 50–75 percentile points below expectations on press freedom, environment, social trust, and road safety — every metric governments directly control. This analysis asks why, and finds a clear answer: not oil, not Islam, not culture. Governance. And governance is a choice.
