Last year’s Global Risks Report warned of a world that would not easily rebound from continued shocks. As 2024 begins, the 19th edition of the report is set against a backdrop of rapidly accelerating technological change and economic uncertainty, as the world is plagued by a duo of dangerous crises: climate and conflict.
Appeasing dictators won’t work – Republicans need to fight back against this administration’s failing policies vis-à-vis Russia, China, Iran, North Korea, Cuba, and Venezuela.

The year draws to a close with yet another bitter reminder of how the international community could have done more to assist Ukraine against Russia, but chose not to. Threats to shipping in the Red Sea have triggered a strong and immediate international military response to protect commerce there.
Russia’s renewed campaign of missile and drone strikes against Ukrainian civilians has begun in earnest. The campaign was long expected — but even so, Ukraine’s Western backers appear to be repeating the same mistakes of last year in responding to it.
Journalists, like the West as a whole, are failing to understand what is happening in Eastern Europe, and who’s responsible.
Russia’s stepped-up aerial war of aggression continues to kill Ukrainians with no link to the military; basketball coaches, primary school teachers, mothers and fathers, and children in their beds.
14 грудня 2023 року наша держава отримала чергове надважливе рішення: Європейська рада підтримала рекомендацію Єврокомісії і дала зелене світло переговорам про вступ України до ЄС.
