• Russia’s Putin- Era: Pursuing the reconstruction of Soviet-era alliances, manipulating political systems to further agendas, and conducting covert meddling, creating division among liberal democracies.- Nuclear Proliferation and Arrogation:
• North Korea: Now holds the potential to fire ICBMs at western allies, fueling existing security concerns and global power struggle.
