Emerging Risks

Perhaps the Ukraine crisis has saved the West from its pettiness and division. But the bigger picture is far more depressing.

Russia’s invasion of the Ukraine will be remembered as one of the great crimes of the 21st century. The ensuing humanitarian crisis has already caused more than two million refugees to flee their homeland. With the imposition of sanctions, policymakers will have to weigh their political options as a

Biden administration officials are raising alarms about the threat that Russia will escalate its war on Ukraine with chemical weapons, but are stopping short of establishing red lines that would involve U.S. military intervention.

North Korea deployed a relatively new inter-continental ballistic missile system in Feb. 26 and March 4 test-firings, a senior Biden administration official said on Thursday, calling it a serious escalation requiring a united global response.

Top US intelligence officials have been disparate about whether NATO and the US will convene militarily in the war.

There are "serious and credible" threats to current and former U.S. officials, including against former Secretary of State Mike Pompeo.

U.S. intelligence officials said Tuesday that the nuclear threat from Russia is likely "increasing" as the invasion of Ukraine continues for a second week.

China is coming ever closer to being a peer competitor to the United States economically, militarily and technologically, Avril Haines, the director of National Intelligence, told the House

North Korea's missile launches could be groundwork for a return to intercontinental ballistic missile and nuclear bomb tests this year for the first time since 2017, the U.S. Directorate of National Intelligence (DNI) said in its annual Worldwide Threat Assessment released on Monday.

As the world focuses on Russia’s invasion of Ukraine and others worry that China will copy Putin’s playbook in Taiwan, the next terror wave against the U.S. is looming. For a United States

Defense officials are now warning that Russia may resort to using chemical or biological weapons in Ukraine, following an uptick in Russian disinformation efforts revolving around these sorts of weapons. On Wednesday, Kremlin spokeswoman Maria Zakharova told reporters that Russian forces had discovered American-backed laboratories developing biological weapons on the Russian border, claiming the 'urgent destruction of these materials' was part of the nation's real pretext for its now poorly-progressing invasion of Ukraine. This is just the latest in a string of reasons Moscow has given for the invasion, including the need to 'de-Nazify' the nation's government—an ironic choice considering Ukraine's

Russian “escalate to de-escalate” doctrine suggests Putin is thinking the unthinkable.

Vladimir Putin has “miscalculated” the Ukrainian people's “will to fight,” author and Russian-born US intelligence expert Rebekah Koffler says as she breaks down the president’s “masterplan”. “With Putin being a former KGB officer, this is an intelligence failure,” she told Sky News Australia. “But, overall, he did not miscalculate in terms of the west response. “He has been studying, and his military and his intelligence services, they have been studying the way that the west, the US and NATO, conduct wars. “He feels very, very confident that he is going to achieve his strategic goals which is the reversal of the outcome of the Cold War.” Ms Koffler said the Russian president’s next step would be to resubjugate “every single post-Soviet state beyond Ukraine” and pointed to Moldova, Belarus, Georgia. “Only the Baltics are safe at this point by virtue of them being NATO members,” she said. “This is his end game, and these are his next steps.”

A story of a train project illustrates the rot that inevitably develops behind a charismatic leader’s cult of personality.

Putin has led Russia into uncharted territory, and history suggests that his rule of repression and isolation is unsustainable.

China may be able to conquer Taiwan, but if it is anything like Russia's disaster in Ukraine, the costs will be a lot higher than the rewards.

The word “war” is presently banned in the official Russian discourse on Ukraine, but in fact the “special military operation,” launched on President Vladimir Putin’s order in the early morning hours of February 24, includes several wars fought in different domains. The massive re-invasion of Ukraine constitutes clearly the most kinetic aspect; however, at the highest level, Putin imagines he …
