The Truth About Voter ID: Election Security Explained and Why The U.S. Doesn't Have A National ID (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Voter ID in the United States is treated as one fight. It is two checks that only look like one word. An election has to answer: is this person allowed to vote here — and is the person casting the ballot that person, only once. Eligibility. Identity. Most peer democracies bind those in a population file or a national roll, then point at that file with a card or a mark-off. France, Germany, Israel, Taiwan: the clerk is not inventing citizenship on Saturday. Australia and New Zealand often ask for
China’s Silent Threat: How Russia Is Helping Them Catch Up (opens the original)
Read excerpt
China Is Closing the Undersea Gap — and Russia May Be Helping The United States can see China’s navy. For thirty years, it could also hear the part China was trying to hide. That is changing. Early Chinese nuclear submarines were loud. A 2009 U.S. Navy intelligence assessment put the Type 094 ballistic-missile boat in the same noise neighborhood as 1970s Soviet SSBNs.

The West’s Secret Weapon: Can We Out-Hack the Cyber Privateers? (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Cyber privateers are increasingly targeting US critical infrastructure, posing severe risks to national security and operational safety. In the first half of 2026, North Korea-linked groups logged more documented advanced persistent threat incidents than China and Russia combined. That is not a crime wave. It is statecraft. This episode examines the rise of cyber privateers: hacker groups that operate for profit, under contract, or with a state’s tacit protection—and why China, Russia, North Kor
China’s Himalayan Collapse: What They Won’t Let You See (opens the original)
Read excerpt
When a catastrophic glacial collapse struck the China-Nepal border, millions of cubic meters of pulverized ice and rock tore down the Gyirong and Trishuli river valleys, wiping out border posts, settlements, and vital infrastructure. Yet while Nepal reported the tragedy with raw transparency, across the border in Tibet, the Chinese Communist Party deployed a familiar playbook: strict metric suppression, narrative control, and the immediate deflection of blame. In this video, we break down the di
The Law of Diminishing Returns: Why Iran Can't Close the Strait (opens the original)
Read excerpt
For months the Strait of Hormuz was treated as Iran’s ultimate card — a chokepoint that could shut down a fifth of the world’s oil at will. The reality was more complicated. This episode of Global Risk Profile examines how a systematic U.S. campaign against Iranian sensors, escorts, mines, and insurance barriers gradually eroded that leverage. It also looks at why public shipping data lagged, why a convenient narrative of Iranian success and American failure lasted as long as it did, and the bro
