According to a recent Stimson Center study, America’s Global War on Terror has cost the taxpayer about $2.8 trillion since 2002. This, of course, does not even begin to factor in the very real human costs. These come in the form of American soldiers and contractors killed and wounded overseas. These costs also come in […]
In the past two years, President Trump has enacted tariffs on $16 billion worth of Chinese and Canadian goods. Predictably, the Canadians countered with $12.6 billion in retaliatory duties against US exports. The Chinese followed. In addition, in his most sweeping action to date, the president slapped a 25 percent tariff on all foreign steel […]
Paris, France—The French government has accused Russia of space espionage. According to the French Defence Ministry, in 2017 a Russian satellite attempted to steal classified telecommunication information from a joint Franko-Italian satellite. The Russian Louch-Olymp spacecraft, a relay satellite responsible for transmitting imagery and telecommunication information to the earth, approached dangerously close to the Franko-Italian […]
The Boeing Company revised its estimate of the number of new aircraft it expects Chinese airlines to buy between now and 2038. According to Reuters, in the next 20 years, Chinese airlines will spend about $1.2 trillion on around 7,690 new planes. The current prediction is about 6 percent higher than the previous forecast of […]

Many nations have competing claims over portions of the South China Sea, with much of the international […]
In 1967, the United States, United Kingdom and Soviet Union came together to sign a document that, at the time, seemed like a pressing concern: the Outer Space Treaty. It not only established the framework for an international set of laws governing the use of outer (and orbital) space, it set important precedents about what […]
In recent months, it has become increasingly clear that the United States has fallen behind in the emerging technology realm of hypersonic missiles. These new platforms, capable of sustained speeds in excess of Mach 5, are already making their way into the arsenals of the Russian and Chinese militaries, with the United States recently projected […]
Sometimes it can be tough to appreciate the logic behind which defense technologies the United States Government deems suitable for export. The F-35 Joint Strike Fighter, for instance, is regularly touted as the most advanced aircraft ever developed, but Uncle Sam is happy to distribute them willingly to paying nations with friendly relations to help […]
China’s DF-21D anti-ship missile, a hypersonic platform with a range of nearly a thousand miles, could arguably be seen as a tailor made threat to American military strategy overseas. The U.S. maintains not only the largest carriers in the world, but the largest fleet of them, allowing its Navy to deploy more military might from […]
Syrian Conflict The Syrian War started in 2011 as an uprising and protests against the government of Syria led by Bashar Al Assad. Originally, the rebel forces were known as the Free Syrian Army but later splintered into several different groups, one of which is ISIL (Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant). The conflict […]
Additional sanctions are likely to be levied on $200 billion worth of Chinese goods in the upcoming weeks, putting further pressure on the leaders in Beijing.
