The Ties That Bind: NATO at 75 and Beyond
2024 marks NATO’s 75th anniversary and the Washington summit in July will be both a celebration of sorts given the occasion but couched in the context of the ongoing war in Ukraine, and the uncertainty of future Western support for Ukraine. On the other hand, the alliance is arguably stronger than ever, with Finland and Sweden as its new members and a newfound sense of unity in the face of continued Russian aggression.
What are some of the greatest challenges facing NATO as the alliance celebrates its 75th anniversary? How has NATO shaped the transatlantic relationship and the security environment in Europe? What should the next 75 years look like for NATO? To answer these questions and more, join FPRI and its distinguished guest speakers in Philadelphia, for an in-person event on Wednesday, June 26.

China and Russia have long had a de facto partnership in Central Asia, in which Russia was the primary security provider and China was the primary investor. Under this arrangement, Beijing tacitly agreed not to challenge Moscow's regional primacy, and regional states largely respected the interests of their great power neighbors. But two processes are now underway that might jeopardize this arr...

    The core irony of this “presentation” is demonization of political Islam while praising or ignoring political Judaism ie Zionism and fundamentalist Christianity in the US. What is the difference between a Pat Robertson and a Qutb?! They are both against modernity & advocate for the faithful to play a larger role in society

They have infiltrated our academic institutions , elite universities and public schools. To the point of great danger to our democracy . An extreme Islamist antisemitic hate has been imported from the middle east by Hamas and the Muslim Brotherhood.

    This guy reminds me of a used car salesman or carnival barker. Seriously, this so-called expert uses too many dumbed-down analogies and disconnected nuances to even partially explain Stuxnet adequately, and in the process shows how little he truly grasps the differences between hardware and software technologies, blurring the differences between dedicated PLCs running the Stuxnet malware (which had 2 versions) and computers infected by the Eternal Blue worm (which was added by the Isreali 8200 without the NSAs knowledge nor involvement). Anyone who swallows this elementary sloppiness as knowledge of truth should put their big boy pants on and re-educate themselves by the few who early on were given the task to discover and define the purpose of the unknown piece of malware that is now known as Stuxnet: ua-cam.com/video/Joc0iTX9dyQ/v-deo.html ua-cam.com/video/JGtGpW2-MbU/v-deo.html

      It’s just meant to be an overview, not a lost in the weeds deep dive. Even as an ex game programmer myself who spent years doing compiler design my interest in exact methods & specific zero days utilized only go so far when I’m initially learning about something. Not everyone cares about a small myopic picture of a thing. A comprehensive overview is sufficient. Edit : I watched both of those & they in _no way_ more deeply describe what it does or the implications of it. I think you’re either being contrary for the sake of it or just have some learning disability. Incidentally it had *3 versions.*

    STUXNET What is Stuxnet? Stuxnet is a malicious computer worm that became infamous in its use to attack Iranian nuclear facilities. That attack made global news headlines in 2010 when it was first discovered. As Malwarebytes' Senior Director of Threat Intelligence Jérôme Segura said in his article Stuxnet: new light through old windows, "Very few pieces of malware have garnered the same kind of worldwide attention as Stuxnet." While as a computer worm, Stuxnet is malicious software, it has been used to attack electro-mechanical equipment. As in the case of the major attack in Iran, attackers used Stuxnet to exploit multiple zero-day Windows vulnerabilities, search infected PCs for a connection to the software that controlled the electro-mechanical equipment, and send instructions intended to damage the equipment. While many types of malware infect a computer through the Internet, another unique feature of the Stuxnet attack in Iran is that the malware was introduced to the PCs via infected USB drives.
