Abraham is the founder, primary writer, and researcher behind Geopolitics Decoded. He is an independent geopolitical analyst and content writer based in New Delhi, India, with over six years of active experience in researching, analyzing, and writing about international affairs, global power dynamics, and the forces that shape our world.
He does not come from a traditional academic or diplomatic background, and he does not pretend otherwise.ย
What Abraham brings instead is something rarer and arguably more valuable in an era of institutional groupthink: a fiercely independent perspective, a self-taught research discipline built from years of obsessive study, and a proven ability to take complicated geopolitical realities and make them genuinely understandable to ordinary readers without dumbing them down.
His work is read and appreciated by audiences across the United States, Europe, South Asia, and beyond, with millions of interactions across social media platforms confirming what his regular readers already know: Abraham explains geopolitics clearly, honestly, and with a depth that most mainstream outlets simply do not provide.
A Lifelong Passion for Geopolitics
Abraham’s relationship with geopolitics did not begin in a university lecture hall or a newsroom. It began much earlier, and in a far more personal place.
In 2003, as a young child in New Delhi, Abraham would sit with his grandfather and listen to news broadcasts on the radio covering the Iraq War. What most children tuned out, Abraham tuned into.ย
He asked his grandfather questions. He wanted to understand not just what was happening, but why. Why did this happen? Who decided this? What will happen next? Those questions became a habit that never left him.
Through his school years, social studies was not just Abraham’s favourite subject. It was the one class where he was never satisfied with what was in the textbook.ย
He consistently asked questions that went beyond the chapter, connecting events across countries and time periods in ways his teachers had to slow down to address.ย
More than once, a teacher had to ask him to hold his questions until the lesson was finished, not because his questions were off-topic, but because they went further than the curriculum intended to go.
After completing high school in New Delhi, Abraham made a deliberate decision not to pursue a formal university degree.
He had observed that the most important thing in a knowledge economy is not a certificate but actual skill, actual knowledge, and the discipline to keep developing both.ย
He chose to invest his time in building exactly that. He began writing professionally as a freelance researcher and content writer in 2019, developing rigorous research habits, learning how to verify sources, and sharpening his ability to synthesize complex information into clear, readable analysis.
That same year, 2019, is when Abraham’s approach to geopolitics shifted from passionate following to structured, serious study.ย
He began tracking elections across major democracies, studying the strategic decisions of the United States, Russia, China, India, and the European powers, reading geopolitical books and analysis, watching documentaries, following credible independent analysts, and cross-referencing everything he read against multiple sources. Geopolitics stopped being a hobby and became a discipline.
The Obsession That Became a Skill
Abraham is candid about the depth of his interest in geopolitics. Open his YouTube history and you will find almost nothing but geopolitical content, documentaries, news analysis, and foreign policy discussions.ย
Open his browser and the pattern is the same: politics, history, international relations, and scientific discovery.ย
Ask him a question about any major global power, any ongoing conflict, or any international institution, and he will not just answer it.ย
He will walk you through the background, the competing interests, the historical precedent, and the likely trajectory.
He reads widely and carefully. He is a regular reader of serious geopolitical analysts and independent thinkers, including analysts like Larry C. Johnson, whose work on Sonar21 Abraham follows for its sourced, unfiltered perspective on global events.ย
He believes in reading across different viewpoints, not to confirm what he already thinks, but to stress-test his own analysis against the strongest available counterarguments.
This level of engagement is not performance. It is simply who Abraham is. As he puts it: even when he starts a conversation about something entirely different, he eventually finds himself talking about geopolitics.ย
It is not something he forces. It is something he cannot fully turn off, and after years of channelling that energy into structured research and writing, the result is a body of knowledge and analytical instinct that most formal degree programmes would struggle to replicate.
A Track Record Built in Public
Long before Geopolitics Decoded existed, Abraham was building a reputation as someone whose geopolitical analysis people sought out and trusted.ย
This happened organically, through comments, posts, and threads on social media platforms, where Abraham would respond to news stories with the kind of detailed, sourced, contextual analysis that is rare in comment sections.
The response was significant and consistent. Over the years, Abraham has accumulated hundreds of thousands of likes, comments, and replies across platforms including Instagram, Facebook, Twitter, and Threads.ย
Individual comments have received over 26,000 likes. A single month of content on Threads generated over 4 million views.
These are not viral moments built on controversy or outrage. They are the result of people repeatedly finding that Abraham’s analysis is accurate, clear, and fair.ย
Many of his online readers have become long-term followers, and several have become genuine friends despite living in entirely different countries, connected through the shared experience of serious discussion about world events.
That public track record is what eventually made the case for Geopolitics Decoded. If millions of people were already engaging with Abraham’s analysis in 280-character comments and short social media posts, the logical next step was to give that analysis the space it deserved: long-form articles, properly sourced, with infographics, context, and the full analytical depth that social media formats cannot accommodate.
How Abraham Researches and Writes
Every article on Geopolitics Decoded reflects Abraham’s research process, which is methodical, time-consuming, and uncompromising on accuracy. Here is how it works:
He Never Publishes What He Has Not Verified
Abraham does not publish breaking news unless a story is fully confirmed, understood, and analyzed. Speed is never the priority.ย
If a story requires two more hours of research to be done correctly, he takes those two hours. This is a conscious editorial decision rooted in his belief that publishing inaccurate or half-understood information does more harm than publishing nothing.
He Cross-References Multiple Credible Sources
No article is based on a single source. Abraham reads across multiple credible outlets, official government statements, international organization reports, peer-reviewed research where applicable, and the work of analysts he has evaluated as trustworthy over time.ย
He actively looks for conflicting accounts and investigates why they differ before drawing conclusions.
He Separates Facts From Analysis, Always
In every article, Abraham is careful to make clear what is established fact and what is his own analytical assessment. He does not present his interpretations as certainties and he does not disguise opinion as reporting.ย
When he says something is likely, he explains the reasoning. When he says something is uncertain, he says so directly.
He Writes for Understanding, Not Just Information
The goal of every article is not simply to inform a reader of what happened. The goal is for the reader to finish the article genuinely understanding what happened and why it matters. Abraham structures his writing with this in mind: historical background first, then the current event, then the analysis of implications, then the broader geopolitical picture.ย
A reader who comes in knowing nothing about a topic should leave feeling fully oriented.
He Creates Everything Himself
Every article on Geopolitics Decoded is written by Abraham personally. Every infographic published on the site is designed by him. He does not outsource research, writing, or visual content.ย
This is an intentional choice that ensures consistency, quality control, and editorial integrity across every piece of content on the site.
Areas of Focus
Abraham’s writing on Geopolitics Decoded covers five core areas:
1. Explainers: Detailed, long-form articles that break down complex geopolitical topics from first principles.ย
These are written for readers who want to truly understand a subject, not just read a quick summary. Topics range from the origins of major conflicts to the mechanics of international institutions and the logic of great-power strategy.
2. International Organizations: Deep analysis of bodies like the United Nations, NATO, the International Monetary Fund, the World Trade Organization, the Shanghai Cooperation Organisation, and others.ย
Abraham examines not just what these organizations say they do, but what they actually do and how their decisions affect global power dynamics.
3. Diplomacy and Peace Talks: Coverage and analysis of negotiations, treaties, bilateral summits, and multilateral diplomacy. Abraham is particularly interested in the gap between what is said publicly in diplomatic settings and what is actually being negotiated behind closed doors.
4. Energy and Trade Routes: The geopolitics of energy is one of the most underreported and consequential areas of international affairs.ย
Abraham covers oil and gas pipelines, liquefied natural gas competition, shipping lanes, chokepoints, and the trade corridors that define which nations have leverage and which do not.
5. Europe and NATO: Focused analysis on the European Union, the NATO alliance, transatlantic relations, and how the continent is repositioning itself in a world of renewed great-power competition.ย
This includes coverage of individual European nations, defence policy, and the evolving relationship between Europe and both the United States and Russia.
Why Readers Trust Abraham’s Analysis
Trust in a geopolitical analyst is not built through credentials alone. It is built through a consistent record of accuracy, honesty, and intellectual integrity over time.ย
Abraham’s track record on all three of these is what his readers point to when asked why they follow his work.
- He does not tell readers what they want to hear. He tells them what the evidence and analysis actually point to, even when that conclusion is uncomfortable or politically inconvenient.
- He does not pretend to certainty he does not have. When the situation is genuinely unclear, he says so and explains what would need to happen for the picture to become clearer.
- He names his sources. He does not cite vague ‘reports’ or ‘analysts.’ He cites specific documents, official statements, and named analysts so readers can verify his research themselves.
- He writes without a political or national agenda. His goal is to understand geopolitics as it actually is, not to validate a particular government, ideology, or political bloc.
- He has been doing this publicly for years and his record of analysis holds up to scrutiny. Readers who have followed him across platforms consistently report that his assessments age well, which is the most honest test of analytical quality.
