There’s something structurally unusual about a stock selloff triggered not by a competitor’s bad news or a disappointing earnings report, but by the industry’s own leading executives publicly warning that their product might be dangerous. That’s essentially what happened Monday, as AI-linked stocks fell across every major market – Wall […]
This month has seen the United Nations issue two reports alleging the commission of war crimes and crimes against humanity by the United States in two theatres of engagement. In one, the UN Independent International Fact-Finding Mission on the Islamic Republic of Iran concluded that the US had committed war […]
Restoring some of their pre-2022 complex mutual interdependence through US mediation, even if only for the wintertime, could facilitate a series of pragmatic diplomatic-military compromises aimed at resolving the Ukrainian Conflict and jointly building the new continental security architecture. Zelensky recently proposed a partial truce with Russia that would include, […]
On March 28, 2025 a rollout ceremony took place at Lockheed Martin’s F-16 production facility in Greenville, South Carolina. Two F16V block 70 jets were ready for final testing, and the ceremony marked the formal handover to Taiwan. The Greenville ceremony was attended by Taiwan’s Defense Minister and by Taiwan’s […]

For much of Donald Trump’s political career, the promise to end America’s “endless wars” was not a marginal talking point but one of the central arguments of his appeal to voters. The message was straightforward: Washington had spent decades sending American power overseas while ordinary citizens were left to deal […]
This institutionalizes the “Strategy of Denial” on the world’s largest island by not only giving the US control over its security, but over its resources too, which could become a template that the US might replicate with others across Ibero-America and Africa as part of its systemic rivalry with China.
