China’s 2025 Security White Paper talks “people-first” and “shared peace”—but behind the rhetoric lies a militarized, surveillance-heavy state vision. Holism in words, hard power in action.
India faces a serious two-front threat as Pakistan leverages advanced Chinese military tech. The recent air battle exposed key weaknesses. Urgent reforms in doctrine, tech, and alliances are now critical.
Longer reach wins the skies. South Korea must urgently close its air-to-air missile gap—or risk falling behind rivals like China and allies like Japan. Delay isn’t just dangerous—it’s strategic surrender.

Kyiv is leading Europe’s anti-China turn—accusing Beijing of fueling Russia’s war machine and pushing EU allies to confront China’s role. Ukraine’s fight now includes reshaping Europe’s entire view of Beijing.
Trump’s MAGA playbook eyes Canada—trade wars, Arctic tensions, even 51st state talk. Ottawa pushes back with sovereignty claims and infrastructure in Nunavut. Is this economic pressure or veiled expansionism?
Trump’s Gulf tour lands Boeing \$120B+ in deals—part of a bold pivot from China to Middle East allies. But in a world of rising tariffs and shaky supply chains, can the strategy fly?
