To respond to the singular threat to freedom of expression the CCP poses, the US and other democracies will need to manage their internal disagreements because only by working together can they effectively counter this broader challenge to free speech thediplomat.com/2026/03/chinas…

The time to invest in Ukraine’s defense sector is now - the country defense industrial base has the capacity to produce billions more than it has the funds. This will become more evident when Iran switches from launching less ballistic missiles to more long-range drone attacks.
