As Vienna Nuclear Talks Draw to a Close, Echoes of Past Concerns Arise
*Trevor Filseth* *Iran Nuclear, Vienna, United States, Iran* In Vienna, high-level diplomatic talks are meant to address Iran's ability to produce a nuclear weapon. But will they work? On Thursday, U.S. officials claimed they had made “substantial progress” toward reaching an agreement with Iran over the future of the country’s nuclear program after a months-long diplomatic standoff between Washington and Tehran. Despite this progress, however, ongoing issues between the two remain, putting the outcome of the final negotiating session in question. The Vienna negotiations have ... read more
Belarus May Soon Host Russian Nuclear Weapons, Lukashenko Says
*Trevor Filseth* *Nuclear Weapons, Belarus* Belarus will hold a constitutional referendum later this month that includes a vote on whether to make it legal to host Russian nuclear weapons. Belarusian president Alexander Lukashenko said on Thursday that he was willing to host Russian nuclear weapons on Belarusian soil if the Eastern European country faced an external threat. Lukashenko’s offer comes as roughly 150,000 Russian troops have gathered on the Russo-Ukrainian border, raising fears that the Kremlin plans to invade Ukraine.

What To Expect With Cyber Surprise
Smoking Gun (Claudio Rousselon, https://cybervisuals.org/visual/image-post-test-3/; CC BY 4.0, https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/) You can’t predict a surprise. But, the degree of surprise often varies. Some, like the attack on Pearl Harbor, are deep strategic surprises (for the classic analysis, I recommend Roberta Wohlstetter’s “Pearl Harbor: Warning and Decision.”) The 9/11 attacks were similarly disorienting. Others, like the Bengals victory over the Chiefs in the NFL playoffs, are surprising in one sense (since the Chiefs were favored), but not so utterly unanticip... read more

Democrats losing the culture wars
Politico: Democrats’ own research shows that some battleground voters think the party is “preachy,” “judgmental” and “focused on culture wars,” according to documents obtained by POLITICO.
