Forbes: The ‘Evil Empire’ Strikes Back: Ukraine, Kosovo, Armenia, Israel
In recent years, long-simmering conflicts in Russia, Ukraine, Armenia, Azerbaijan, Israel, and Palestine have erupted, both across borders and within countries. These "frozen conflicts" have been reignited with Russia's invasion of Ukraine, prompting geopolitical shifts and divisions. The Kremlin's strategy of creating minefields of division and exploiting ethno-political tensions plays a significant role in these events, while the West's lack of strategic thinking and vulnerability to cyber and propaganda attacks exacerbates the situation. Russia's involvement in the conflicts in Armenia and Azerbaijan, as well as its dealings with Turkey and Iran, further highlight its desired influence over the region.
Front Page Magazine: Gen. Petraeus Says Israel Needs to Win "Hearts and Minds"
It's astonishing that lessons from past wars, such as Afghanistan and Iraq, have not been learned. General Petraeus suggests using the Hamas war to promote his book, emphasizing the importance of big ideas and strategic leadership. However, winning a war requires intelligence, common sense, and understanding the battlefield and enemy. Benjamin Netanyahu must provide sound strategic leadership, focusing on destroying Hamas and preparing for future threats.
Petraeus's approach to war is worrying as it prioritizes appeasing enemies and winning hearts and minds over defeating the enemy. His emphasis on big ideas and communications overlooks the essential task of winning. Israel should focus on killing the enemy and achieving victory rather than getting caught up in ineffective strategies. The purpose of war is not about big ideas or political appeasement but about defeating the enemy.

Forbes: Netherlands’ World Cup Success Underlines Growth In Smaller Cricket Nations
The Netherlands and Afghanistan have created upsets in the Cricket World Cup, shaking up the tournament. The Netherlands' win over South Africa and Afghanistan's victory against England have shown that the smaller nations can compete with the major cricketing powers. However, the lack of opportunities for these nations in the World Cup is a travesty, highlighting the need for more inclusivity in the sport. The next World Cup in 2027 will feature 14 teams, but for now, the Netherlands and other Associate nations will continue to fight against the odds.
