East Asia may be approaching a dangerous turning point. Why has Xi Jinping chosen this moment to visit North Korea?

History suggests that great powers tend to strengthen key alliances before major changes in the regional security environment.

Rare high-level visits are usually less about today's challenges and more about tomorrow's risks.

The question is not why China is visiting North Korea. The question is: what is Beijing preparing for?

[The Washington Post @washingtonpost]

Chinese leader Xi Jinping will make a rare trip to North Korea to meet with Kim Jong Un.

The visit comes as China positions itself as a global power player projecting stability in contrast to the U.S.'s damaging war against Iran and erratic tariffs. https://t.co/GTljaoaD98

Space is becoming the next arena of great power competition.
The countries that dominate launch capacity today may shape the balance of power tomorrow.

One week later, incredible progress. It’s a 24/7 operation with a solid path forward to launch this year, helped by a lot of luck. @NASA and @USSpaceForce have both been extremely helpful.

This team. Never tell them the odds.

@JeffBezos @NASA @USSpaceForce Every great power eventually builds ships. Some build them for oceans. Others build them for space. The future belongs to nations that build rockets, not just regulations.

@Osint613 But is this really just about containing Hezbollah? Or is Europe becoming increasingly concerned about a stronger and more influential Israel?

Cuba may be closer than ever to a regime change.

President Trump has just declared: “We’ll handle Cuba after we take care of Iran.”

This is more than an offhand remark.

After Venezuela and Iran, Trump still appears to be searching for a symbolic geopolitical victory. And Cuba may be the most attractive target.

Cuba’s economy is under severe strain, while Washington continues to increase pressure on Havana. For that reason, Cuba could become the place where Trump seeks to achieve what he has so far failed to accomplish in Venezuela and Iran.

The EU has just placed a 100 million euro bet on a major gamble in Lebanon.

Kaja Kallas, the EU's High Representative for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy, has announced an additional 100 million euro package for the Lebanese Armed Forces.

Brussels believes a stronger Lebanese state can achieve what many military campaigns have failed to do: limit Hezbollah's influence.

But is this really just about containing Hezbollah?

Or is Europe becoming increasingly concerned about a stronger and more influential Israel?
