With the recent State Department report on Cuba, and @dashaburn's and @nahaltoosi's reporting on recent increases U.S. in intelligence activities in Cuba, we ask, "Is the U.S. is planning an attack on the island?" The similarities in rhetoric prior to actions against Venezuela and Iran are striking.

The world is still watching the U.S.-Iran war unfold, but state and non-state actors alike have already realized the power of blocking vital bottlenecks. The U.S. and its allies should now anticipate the proliferation of this tactic and prepare accordingly for a new era of geopolitical competition; one in which the global economy is held hostage by actors seeking accessible geopolitical leverage.

Ukraine’s long-range bombing campaign on Russian oil infrastructure has disabled 20 to 42.7 percent of Russian refining capacity, leaving Russia with an excess of crude oil and a deficiency in fuel. Russia is currently seeking to import fuel to meet its needs, opening an opportunity to introduce new sanctions on fuel exporters who are now selling to Russia.

The U.S. has reached a decisive moment in maintaining its global favorability and international legitimacy.

POLL: The rate of military families suffering from food insecurity has surged in the last two years, according to the latest annual survey of spouses, active-duty service members and veterans.

More than 41% of respondents said they experienced low or very low food security in 2025, up from about 16% in 2023. That is nearly three times the national rate of food insecurity in 2024.

After 13 years of civil war, Syria’s governmental transition is crucial for the stability of the region and U.S. interests within it.

Artificial intelligence systems that execute tasks without human oversight or produce the primary basis for federal decision-making are being rapidly embedded across U.S. government, defense, and infrastructure systems. Continuity of compute is now a national security priority, as interruptions within the data centers that run these sophisticated algorithms can put vital national functions at risk.
