COLORADO SPRINGS: We’ve known for some time that China conducted an anti-satellite test July 23 last year, but we learned today that that test was “successful” even if it didn’t destroy anything.

We’ve shown it to you, and the brain behind it all. Tonight, we’re going to try to show you what possibly co...

U.S. currently lacks strategy to counter political, information warfare threats from states and terrorists

Russia has passed the United States in the nuclear weapons category. Their new generation of tactical nuclear weapons is superior to ours, and they are expanding other capabilities. Which would be bad enough if our nuclear weapons actually worked well and were ready if we ever needed them. But we have some issues and no one wants to even work on them anymore, erroneously thinking that nuclear deterrence is an obsolete relict of the Cold War.

Vladimir Putin sees West as gloating in post-Cold War era, trying to muscle into Russia's historical sphere of influence, analysts say.

Throughout history, power transitions have almost invariably resulted in war — and the US-China relationship is in just such a transition.

American policies toward Russia today echo the mistakes that led to Japan’s attack on Pearl Harbor in 1941.

The Ukraine crisis was not an isolated spat or a tragic misunderstanding, but rather the last straw—for both sides. The failure to achieve an acceptable post–Cold War settlement produced an unanchored relationship between the West and Russia.

Recent pessimism suggests that China and the U.S. are already well on the road to great power confrontation.

The People's Liberation Army has for the first time released photos of its most advanced intercontinental ballistic missile (ICBM) in action - a move seen as a response to US military moves in the region.

Rachel Marsden: PARIS -- A Cold War is purely an intelligence war.

In his new book on the disputed South China Sea, author Robert Kaplan deconstructs the volatile situation that has been bubbling in that region, and outlines the possible consequences for the West if Asia’s geopolitical situation continues to heat up.
