Competition, Climate, and Resilience: Securing the EV Supply Chain in America Facing Stalemate, Putin Talks Up Nuclear Weapons Use and Supporting West’s Foes

However, his interlocutor, Russia’s chief proponent of nuclear strikes, Sergei Karaganov, was given a unique platform to outline his doctrine to a large international audience." -Maxim Trudolyubov

Zhou Enlai: A Life Methane Emissions: Can the United States and China Find Common Ground?
Hear from distinguished historian Chen Jian, whose new book Zhou Enlai: A Life , is the first archive-records-based English-language biography of China’s 27-year premier. He offers a nuanced portrait of Zhou’s dilemmas-ridden life as a revolutionary, eminent and pragmatic statesman, diplomatic giant, and, in the final analysis, a person with his own vision and aspiration who did much to make China, and the larger world, what it is today. “Whether working in partnership or going it alone, both the United States and China will face intensifying pressures to improve their methane records in coming years. Ongoing advances in measurement precision will make it increasingly difficult for individual nations, states, or firms to continue disguising their actual methane release records with lowball estimates.” -Read more from Barry Rabe

What Modi 3.0 Means for the World (TIME) [[link removed]]
“India has traditionally navigated great power rivalry by doubling down on its core foreign policy principle of strategic autonomy, balancing ties with competing powers and avoiding alliances to maximize flexibility.
