Exporting weapons to emerging military powers in Europe and the MENA region has put Israeli defense expenditures at the forefront of the lucrative global arms market. Israel, which for decades kept itself as a regional player, now looks to expand as a global power, and its defense exports will become a primary focus in achieving this goal.

France and Russia’s geopolitical disputes have affected tens of millions, and West Africa has gradually become their new regional fight for influence. Overall, Africa’s future can only be decided by Africans and not outside world powers, whether it is Russia or France.

Ultimately, the only way to secure Ukraine and the rest of the world from Russian threats is to arm Kyiv with the tools it needs to regain its territory. The more Putin continues to escalate a war in which he still hasn’t reached a single primary objective, the more degraded the Russian military and labor force will be for the next several decades.

Cyprus’ fragility has only become more fluid due to the toothless fortitude of the United Nations and the inability of British troops on the isle. Turkey, like Russia, feeds off appeasement and indecisiveness by the EU, NATO, and UN to condemn their aggression and violations over Hellenic air and naval space and continued settlement buildup in the occupied areas of Cyprus.

The Taliban ultimately won the war in Afghanistan by biding their time and waiting out the US-led coalition. Not knowing how to run an already third-world economy, the Taliban’s theocratic and archaic laws have only exacerbated the cataclysm tens of millions of Afghans face. Nevertheless, the group now rules over a pile of ash, and the militants are solely responsible for the deterioration of Afghanistan.

In the wake of alarming revelations and close calls within the aviation industry, we stand on the brink of a transformative era, where the embrace of artificial intelligence and autonomous piloting can elevate us beyond human error, uniting the precision of technology with the artistry of flight to ensure safety and herald a new dawn in air travel.

In the grand tradition of Delta men and the seemingly senseless rigmarole of JRX Valiant Shield, a tale unfolded in a chow tent that involved a battle for mashed potatoes, a Donald Duck signature, and an awkward question, all of which simply proved why our kind should never be sent to these exercises, punctuated by the kind of camaraderie and irreverence that only the likes of Sam Foster, Chill D, MacDaddy Mac M, and yours truly could muster.

Military aid to Ukraine will continue to be a focus of accountability with the average American citizen going forward as election season approaches and fear of corruption ensues. As former President Eisenhower emphasized, it is important to remain vigilant on the influence of the military industrial complex. 

Turkey, which has actively played a humanitarian and diplomatic role in helping to have detained Ukrainians released from Russian captivity, now must confront its dark past and do the same with the fate of missing Greek Cypriots.

Bob was so much larger than life, that eventually life could no longer contain him, and he was instructed by the Almighty to take one last boat excursion, this time to Valhalla.

Decades of overextending their land ambitions through several enclaves, overestimating their military capabilities, and lacking support amongst their allies have finally returned to haunt the Russian Federation. The war in Ukraine can become the third spark of collapse against Moscow for the third time over the past century, and the world must prepare for this domino effect.

Landmines are not just a Ukrainian issue but a humanitarian concern. The world must work to avoid the catastrophic aftermaths of Afghanistan and Chechnya, in which some areas still have not been fully cleared to this day of mines, and the longer it takes to remove Ukraine from the deadly ordinance, the more the global economy could suffer the repercussions of it.
