Let’s get one thing straight: Sam Foster was an excruciatingly intelligent guy, and he was moderately to heavily eccentric.

Having a state of complacency can be even more dangerous than appeasing a geopolitical foe. In contrast, appeasement can come from a foreign power that ‘guarantees’ your sovereignty; a complacent foreign policy and government can make or break a nation in a global conflict.

SOFREP, with its unfiltered reportage and raw honesty, is not just something I like, but a necessary lifeline in a world plagued by deception and fear.

Betrayals are turning allies into enemies. Power plays are igniting the flames of conflict setting the stage for a high stakes battle that could potentially plunge Russia into civil war and leave the world on the brink of chaos.

Overall, partial mobilization was a temporary solution to the overall Russian war effort. Conscription has been nothing more than a band-aid to an open flesh wound that needed several dozen stitches to repair.

Aerial supremacy and Israel’s decisive actions during Operation Focus of the Six-Day War is the textbook standard of air superiority. The ability to degrade enemy air defense and aircraft is what Western nations and their allies excel in, while countries such as Russia will only struggle with it.

Wanting to help his country in need, Wegner became a medic with a will and determination to serve others. What he would witness would push him beyond his duties in the military to where he would benefit all of humankind.

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.

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. 

Emerging treatments like deep transcranial magnetic stimulation (dTMS), hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT), and ketamine infusion therapy offer promising outcomes and could revolutionize veteran mental health care, providing the transformative and effective options that many veterans desperately need.

Japan has realized the best defense is a great offense, and the recent geopolitical shift has convinced Tokyo to militarize once again. Facing threats from Russia, North Korea, and China, Japan will not be deterred by its rivals, and the technological powerhouse will display its much-feared military capabilities once more if provoked into conflict.

The ever-changing geopolitical shift in the Middle East is something to study and watch closely. 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.
