Forever Winter: Politics of the Infinite Cold War

In the halls of history, there are few national rivalries more iconic than that of the United States and Russia. Certainly, there are none that have more thoroughly shaped the topography of modern geopolitics.

For nearly fifty years, the U.S. and the Soviet Union spread their dominion over their opposite halves of the globe, staring each other down across the Pacific while the world held its breath. After the fall of the Soviet Union, the U.S. and Russia saw a short period of reluctant coexistence, with Obama-era leaders even sharing hopes of a “reset” in relations between the two countries.

Cyberwar: How it Started, Where its Going, and Why We Should Care

Cyber attacks are becoming an increasing threat to the international community and United States national security. Such attacks are no longer dominated by solo figures but have been increasingly sponsored by national governments as a new type of weapon in their arsenals. To understand why cyber weapons and cyber defenses are critical to our national security now and in the future, we must answer some key questions. Why are cyber attacks becoming increasingly attractive to governments, and what are their pitfalls?

The Hypocrisy of the Warmongering Western States

The Russian invasion of Ukraine has placed the Russian Federation on center stage, with all eyes looking at the bear’s next steps. The Ukrainians are being bolstered by the European Union and the United States, under the guise of protecting national sovereignty and promoting democracy. The blatant disregard for the damages the West has caused around the world and the sudden interest in the well-being of a white nation is a testament to what the West actually cares about: their domination of global affairs. There was no international outcry for the atrocious war crimes committed in Iraq.

The Russian-Ukraine Conflict: A Cold War Ideology

The Cold War, the great power struggle between Russia and the US (and more broadly Western influence), is known to have ended in the late 20th century. However, with the recent actions and demands of Russia, this doesn’t seem to be the case. As the Russian-Ukrainian conflict has come into play, it seems as if the Cold War ideology has not been erased but rather has been festering, and now has been thrust into the spotlight once again.
