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.

A country like Australia would be a shadow of itself without its […]
