Unlike the wintry precip forecast, confidence is high that bitterly cold temperatures arrive to a good portion of #FL next week. Temps could fall to 20 to 30 below normal by Wed. Onset and extent of cooling will rely on low pressure track. #FLwx

The situation in the Middle East remains chaotic and repeated failures of Iranian attacks have made them look weak. Is that a fair assessment? I dove deeper into this conversation with General (Ret.) Frank McKenzie on the podcast.

Civil-military relations, when done well, is boring. It's also critical to a functioning republic. Our #GNSI Executive Director has seen this from the highest levels--this is well worth a watch.

Monday morning re-up: Are the Russians really an apathetic people? Is there growing dissatisfaction? Does Putin back his men on the spot? Why does Putin keep Gerasimov in place? What are the resonances with the Time of Troubles? All this and more!

Over 300,000 South Korean troops served in the Vietnam War? Many forget that the United States had several allies in the conflict. Australia joined the fight in 1962. New Zealand, South Korea, and the Philippines followed in 1964. What lessons can we learn about burden-sharing?

The brave US and Allied Forces that landed on Normandy's beaches and parachuted into its countryside on this day 80 years ago opened a new front that hastened the elimination of the "German war machine... and Nazi tyranny." Let us remember their sacrifice.

In a significant shift in policy, President Biden recently authorized Ukraine to use U.S. weapons to strike within Russian territory (with caveats). Will this change the course of the war?

What are the United States' national interests in the Ukraine War? What threats does NATO face as the war in Ukraine continues? This spectacular panel addressed all these questions and more in February.

When asking if sanctions are effective against Iran, the answer depends on what results you expect sanctions to achieve. Sanctions are a tool used by policymakers in pursuit of a geopolitical strategy; sanctions are not a strategy.

Nuclear weapons in space? Not as outrageous an idea as you might think? Check out the latest short from our podcast, "What's Really Happening?"

The latest episode of our podcast, "What's Really Happening?" has dropped! In this episode of WRH, General (Ret) Frank McKenzie, the Executive Director of GNSI and former commander of @CENTCOM discusses the current situation in #EasternEurope and #Ukraine. This week marks the 2nd anniversary of a #Russian invasion that President #vladimirputin mistakenly thought would be over in a matter of days. McKenzie believes the US response to the invasion was "magnificent" and showed that the US could put together a global coalition to fight and deter such reckless force and aggression.
