The Russia-North Korea defense pact signals a significant shift in global power dynamics, challenging stability in East Asia. This alliance complicates U.S. efforts to isolate North Korea and may accelerate Pyongyang's military capabilities. China faces a dilemma, potentially losing influence over North Korea to Russia. The pact's ambiguity raises concerns about miscalculation. International responses must balance firm resolve with openness to dialogue, prioritizing diplomacy to address root causes of tension while maintaining commitment to denuclearization and UN resolutions.

We appreciated the opportunity
to join South by Southwest in 2024.
With U.S. Army Futures Command

There are many ways SXSW is harmful
to working musicians, but I am pulling
out specifically because of the fact
that SXSW is platforming defense

The United States is considering increasing its nuclear warhead numbers in the coming years due to the international situation, according to a senior National Security Council official. This potential expansion comes as the New START treaty with Russia expires in 2026 and amid tensions with China over nuclear arms control. The US also plans to modernize its "nuclear triad" of bombers, submarines, and missiles, though these projects face delays and cost overruns.
