This article delves into the complexities of the current international system and the challenges in interpreting Russia's actions. Dusseault argues that Western nations often misinterpret Russia's motivations by focusing on superficial justifications for its invasion of Ukraine, rather than understanding President Vladimir Putin's deeper concerns about perceived Western threats. He suggests that Putin views Ukraine not merely as a territorial dispute but as a symbol of a broader ideological and geopolitical struggle. The article emphasizes the importance of recognizing the intricate and interconnected nature of global politics to better comprehend and address the underlying causes of international conflicts.

This article discusses the implications of the evolving alliance between Russia and North Korea. The piece highlights that this pact is not merely a bilateral agreement but part of a broader strategic alignment involving Moscow, Beijing, and Pyongyang, united by a common interest in countering U.S. influence and reshaping the security architecture in Eurasia. The article argues that the United States must recognize the full extent of this alliance's strategic significance, as it could alter the balance of power in the region and challenge existing international norms. It emphasizes the need for the U.S. to adapt its foreign policy to address this emerging geopolitical reality effectively.

The article highlights the dire conditions and profound human rights abuses in the al‑Hol and Roj camps in northeastern Syria, where tens of thousands — primarily women and children linked to ISIS — are held in unsanitary, overcrowded, and arbitrary detention, facing malnutrition, disease, gender‑based violence, trauma, and separation from their families. It warns that these camps serve as breeding grounds for radicalization, with ISIS sleeper cells actively recruiting youth amid chronic neglect. The piece strongly advocates for urgent repatriation and accountability, condemning prolonged detainment without due process and emphasizing the responsibility of home countries to bring back and rehabilitate detainees, especially vulnerable children, to prevent further destabilization.

This article discusses the significant and growing global movement led by students advocating for Palestinian rights and urging universities to divest from companies supporting Israeli military actions in Gaza. Beginning in April 2024 at Columbia University, this movement has expanded to over 140 universities worldwide, including institutions in the U.S., U.K., and Europe. Students are demanding universities sever financial and academic ties with entities involved in the conflict, and their efforts have led to notable successes, such as divestment votes and policy changes at various institutions. Jackson highlights that, despite facing challenges and opposition, these student-led protests are achieving tangible outcomes, reflecting a shift in public discourse and institutional accountability regarding the Gaza conflict.

This article argues that former President Trump’s characterization of the 2021 U.S. withdrawal from Afghanistan as “the most embarrassing moment in the history of our country” overlooks the core principles of just war theory — namely jus ad bellum’s requirements of proper authority and reasonable hope for success — and that, by those measures, President Biden made a morally sound decision to end a two-decade conflict whose aims (beyond bringing Osama bin Laden to justice in 2011) had become unattainable, as evidenced by the Afghan National Army’s inability to sustain security, the enormous human toll (6,247 U.S. service members and over 46,000 Afghan civilian deaths), and the $2.31 trillion spent, such that continued belligerence would have been unjustifiable. Furthermore, Morris contends that while tactical execution of the exit might have been imperfect, jus in bello considerations regarding combatant conduct do not undermine the justice of ending the war itself, and instead underscore why ceasing hostilities was the prudent and ethical course — one for which President Biden should be commended rather than blamed.
