A drone packed with explosives was found next to a Ukraine-bound aircraft in Germany. Berlin’s response was lukewarm, according to Prince Michael von Liechtenstein, and risks fueling more of the same.

🌎 What if one waterway could decide who wins global trade wars? Most people still believe power resides in capitals and boardrooms. It does not. Real power lies in the chokepoints where ships have no alternative route. The Strait of Malacca serves as the primary maritime gateway for Asia-Europe trade and lies on the critical sea route between China and India, two rivals scrutinizing every vessel. Whoever influences this passage controls the flow of energy, semiconductors and manufactured goods. This is not geography. This is control. Our latest dossier reveals the maritime chokepoints that others are overlooking. Get it here: https://lnkd.in/eGqkEtz7

Space is becoming more crowded, more commercial and more contested. The new race is no longer just about governments. It involves private companies, orbital infrastructure, military competition and growing risks that could disrupt everything from communications to global security. Who controls orbit? What happens when commercial ambitions collide with national interests? And are we already ignoring the next major coordination crisis in space debris? 👉 The latest GIS dossier connects these questions and explores how power is being reshaped beyond Earth: https://lnkd.in/e4UvBEgx

A nation innovating like a startup. In “Ukraine from the Front Lines”, Paul Schwennesen, Ph.D. describes a decentralized war machine powered by volunteers, mechanics and drone hobbyists; even grandmothers weaving camouflage nets. Hosted by GIS Managing Editor Andrew Kureth, this episode shows how a country under attack has turned improvisation into a strategic advantage. 🎧 If you want to understand ongoing evolution of modern warfare, start here: https://lnkd.in/eX7swxGT All the platform: https://lnkd.in/eGVkhV2X Apple Podcasts: https://lnkd.in/ekvjPjyX Spotify: https://lnkd.in/ejy2cEc2 YouTube: https://lnkd.in/e4Zhe636
