The Ukraine war reshaped China’s Belt and Road Initiative (BRI) in Central and Eastern Europe, producing uneven outcomes across the region. EU-aligned countries distanced themselves from BRI projects, while conflict-adjacent states saw investments paused due to security and geopolitical risks. In contrast, southern CEE nations experienced increased Chinese engagement as Beijing sought alternative routes into Western Europe.

The United States is reassessing its nuclear policy in response to mounting economic pressures, rapid Chinese nuclear modernization, and evolving security threats. Modernizing the nuclear triad requires massive investments. Retrenchment could ease these burdens but risks undermining U.S. credibility in Asia. At the same time, both the U.S. and China share a mutual vulnerability that offers opportunities for cooperation in arms control, non-proliferation, and nuclear safety.

Sensor technology is a key component of military advantage comprising communications, detection, and targeting equipment. This comparative analysis will focus on the AN/SPY-1, the Notional AAM, and the Fan Song E. Managing the design trade-offs for a given radar system should be a function of its use case, its cost, and the technology available at the time of design.

Examining the evolving geopolitical contest in Central Asia, analyzing the shifting influence of Russia, China, the European Union, and the United States from the post–Cold War period through recent events.

Military grade aircraft comprise a key element of any modern military force structure. They can fill multiple roles and provide assistance in reconnaissance, logistics, or ordinance delivery. F-16 and B-2 aircrafts are incredibly different machines with incredibly divergent specifications which point to their different use cases and also towards a military strategy using both in tandem to achieve air superiority over a target area.

A structured comparison of radar system designs across different operational contexts, focusing on how performance trade-offs are influenced by platform constraints and mission requirements. By contrasting multi-role, single-role, and ground-based systems, the analysis highlights the strategic implications of design choices for military planners and engineers.

A historic moment for Lebanon: from collapse to recovery, if it seizes the chance. This analysis traces the road to collapse and outlines the narrow path to sovereignty, stability, and reform."
