Read/listen to personal perspectives, expert opinion, analysis and debate on a broad range of security issues. The views expressed by authors are their own.

- Should artificial intelligence be banned from nuclear weapons systems? 12 Apr. 2024 Professor Steffan Puwal, PhD, explores the issues surrounding proposed legislation in the United States, which would ban artificial intelligence from nuclear defence systems. It argues, overall, that a blanket ban is a bad idea.
- The importance of and outlook for the Czech Republic in NATO 11 Mar. 2024 This year we are commemorating the 25th anniversary of the Czech Republic’s accession to NATO, which marked a watershed moment on the path to ensuring our national security.
- Loss, defiance, and the fight for justice: the stories of three women from Ukraine 05 Mar. 2024 I had an important package to deliver, and it was crucial for it to be well wrapped. The package I was wrapping could not be sent by ordinary mail. I had to deliver it personally because its destination was in the world of the dead.
- The story of Saint Javelin 22 Feb. 2024 In early February 2022, as the drumbeat of war grew louder and louder, I sat glued to my phone, scrolling social media, and starting to build what would eventually become Saint Javelin. It had been several years since I’d worked as a journalist in Ukraine, but I couldn’t focus on anything besides the impending invasion. As global leaders released waves of intelligence about Putin’s intentions, my mind began to replay key moments that shaped my understanding of Russia’s brutality against Ukraine.
- Why cognitive superiority is an imperative 06 Feb. 2024 Complacency is a lethal error in strategy making and warfare. As Russia has learned in Ukraine, overestimating your own capabilities and underestimating your enemy can lead to failure. NATO cannot take its own continued strategic success for granted.
