It’s time for the US to Comply with the International Criminal Court on War Crimes

To show the world the United States is not above the law, reconciling with the International Criminal Court is in its best interest. With ever-changing geopolitics and past misdeeds by risking foreign policy decisions, Washington must display honor over personal interests and not allow American exceptionalism to continue to dictate our grandstanding with the international community.

Media Figures Were Historically Prosecuted for Genocide Incitement and Russian Propagandists Should be No Exception

With ongoing indictments against key figures of the Russian government, one cannot forget the role media figures, public broadcasters, and military bloggers played in heightening genocidal rhetoric during the invasion of Ukraine. Like the international tribunals for propagandists in Nazi Germany and the then Hutu-led government of Rwanda, Russian media figures who play a significant role in Russian intelligence operations and influence should be no exception on the roads of conviction. 

The Rising Storm: Japan’s Journey from Demilitarization to Rebuilding Its Military

Japan has realized the best defense is a great offense, and the recent geopolitical shift has convinced Tokyo to militarize once again.

These acts of desperation will not deter Ukraine nor Western support but make it even more likely Ukraine’s defense and membership in the European Union and NATO will be solidified by the war’s end.

Unraveling the Geopolitical Shift in the Middle East

With autocratic governments coming under pressure in 2022, regional autocrats have self-aligned in 2023 despite ideological differences and look to play smoke-and-mirror politics with China and Russia to force more concessions out of Western states.

Assassinations and Psychological Warfare: Ukraine’s Intelligence Challenges Russia

Ukraine’s intelligence is not only playing a pivotal role in helping to liberate their country against an imperialist power, but also in weakening the Russian Federation to where they no longer pose a threat to their nation for the near future. Already gaining the ability to conduct raids deep inside enemy territory, along with high-value assassinations, Kyiv’s intelligence apparatus, like America’s, Israel’s, and Britain’s, will be a force to be reckoned with for years to come.
