• Setting the record straight on debate around Australia donating the retired F/A-18 Hornets to Ukraine. 
• The ongoing strengthening of the relationships between the world’s autocratic powers: Russia, China, and North Korea. 
• Mounting concerns that the United States may not directly intervene in the event of Chinese hostilities towards Taiwan.
