The art of the deal is back, and so is the price tag on alliances. In this context, South Korea’s ambitions to develop nuclear-powered submarines could become a critical factor in shaping its alliance with the United States. While the program is primarily aimed at countering North Korea’s advancing submarine-launched ballistic missile capabilities, it also carries broader strategic implications.

Belarus and Iran have developed a growing strategic partnership since the start of Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine in February 2022. What began as a pragmatic association rooted in mutual economic and political isolation from the United States and its European allies has evolved into a more intimate relationship based on shared security concerns as well as rhetorical and material support for Russia’s war in Ukraine.

U.S. forces killed a senior operative of the al-Qaeda-linked group Hurras al-Din in northwestern Syria this weekend, U.S. Central Command said.

This book is the second book in my exploration of DEI and CRT and its toxic effects on the military. My first, American Doctor, Coming Home to War, was published in 2023. This second book is one that should never have to be written. It was written by one of many concerned West Point graduates who have watched the United States Military Academy plunge into dysfunction. West Point was founded in 1802 to serve the nation in war and peace. Its graduates for the most part have done that honorably for over two hundred years.

Elements of the U.S. Navy’s 7th Fleet are sailing through the Philippine Sea with French and Japanese vessels in a joint exercise meant to train crews and show just how much force they can project at sea. And some newly released photos capture just how much force that is.
