The Crying Wolf of Terrorism: Pakistan's Blowback and the Bankruptcy of Selective Outrage

Pakistani Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif has accused Afghanistan of harboring terrorist groups like the TTP and BLA, demanding the Taliban act against them.

Eurofighters and Empty Tracks: The Hollow Theatre of NATO's Baltic Defence

Germany has deployed Eurofighter jets to Latvia for an election where domestic issues overshadow the critical security vulnerability of the delayed Rail Baltica railway, a NATO reinforcement lifeline.
