Dear reader,

Have you ever thought about what the US is really doing in South Asia? Today's feature takes you into the heart of US diplomacy in Pakistan and Bangladesh – it's quite a story.

It's a bit of a deja vu from the 1970s, but with a bit of a twist. There are major power plays + some geopolitical drama.

If you're curious to see how this all plays out, (you should be!) we break it down for you today – it's a breeze.
