Shutting global capital out of the United States “is a troubling and ultimately self-defeating strategy,” argues @BrianCDeese. “Of course, the U.S. government should mitigate the risks of foreign investment. But today, its screening regime is overzealous.”

“Moscow continues to punch above its weight because it is navigating a fragmented, unpredictable world that plays to its strengths,” writes Andrey Kortunov. “The downside risk for Russia is that today’s turmoil and uncertainty may not last.”

Leonard Schuette examines the concept of the West espoused by the New Right—and considers how civilizationalism could shape Washington’s foreign policy in the years ahead:

Taiwan “needs a dispersed, agile, and lethal force structure to defeat China in the Taiwan Strait,” write Holmes Liao and Dennis Blair. www.foreignaffairs.com/taiwan/how-taiwan-c...
When a country’s products “become ubiquitous, they begin to shape how people imagine competence, modernity, and possibility,” write @wstv_lizzi and @eric_olander. That “is increasingly true today, as Chinese brands become the default option for billions of consumers.”
www.foreignaffairs.com/china/how-china-win...
“The world’s ability to absorb Chinese overcapacity is approaching a breaking point,” writes @MikeFroman. To “prevent the next major global economic crisis,” Beijing must adopt a more sustainable growth strategy.
www.foreignaffairs.com/china/next-global-e...
Washington’s Asian allies are willing to “work with Trump on his terms” because they are “looking at the world as it is, whereas western European ones still see the world as it once was—or how they wish it were,” writes John Lee.
www.foreignaffairs.com/united-states/great...
“With the United Nations and other multilateral bodies proving unable to mitigate modern conflicts, nontraditional powers are beginning to fill the gaps by engaging in order-stabilizing statecraft,” writes @asfandyarmir.
www.foreignaffairs.com/pakistan/pakistan-w...
“If the United States targets India while making allowances for other countries, a dormant anti-Americanism in India will reawaken,” writes @MohanCRaja.
www.foreignaffairs.com/india/india-stickin...
Anna Nelson and Cary Fowler call on Washington to lead the effort against global hunger. “There may be no better way to rebuild confidence in the liberal world order and in the United States as a committed member of it.”
www.foreignaffairs.com/united-states/how-a...
“Fears that public opinion has tilted toward China are overblown.” Read @AdamYLiu1 on why most of the world still prefers to partner with the United States:
www.foreignaffairs.com/china/how-does-worl...
The United States needs a new framework for selectively welcoming foreign capital, argues @BrianCDeese. “Washington has an elaborate apparatus for saying no to inbound investment but few ways of getting to yes.”
www.foreignaffairs.com/china/case-letting-...
Today’s volatile geopolitical environment works to Russia’s advantage—but “the current configuration of the international system could prove fleeting,” writes Andrey Kortunov.
www.foreignaffairs.com/russia/coming-risks...
“If the U.S. president disengages with the region, there is a risk that any significant changes to Israeli policy will stall,” argues Amos Harel.
www.foreignaffairs.com/israel/can-israel-e...
“If the 25-year war on terror really is over, its repercussions are not.” @PhilGordonDC reviews “All the Presidents’ Wars: Twenty-Five Years of America’s War on Terror” by Peter Bergen:

Expanding the U.S. nuclear arsenal will “invite new risks,” warns Erin Dumbacher. “A U.S. buildup would likely trigger a steady arms race with other nuclear states.”
www.foreignaffairs.com/united-states/ameri...
“To put real pressure on Russia’s oil revenues, Western countries must defang the shadow fleet,” argue @robin_j_brooks and @econ_harris.
www.foreignaffairs.com/europe/right-way-sa...
An ongoing U.S. blockade of the Strait of Hormuz could bring Iran back to the negotiating table, argues James Jeffrey.

Listen to the latest episode of “The Foreign Affairs Interview,” featuring @JasonBordoff and Meghan O’Sullivan on the return of the energy weapon:
www.foreignaffairs.com/podcasts/iran-shock...
Washington’s hostility toward foreign investment is counterproductive, argues @BrianCDeese. “The United States is undermining its own industrial policy by denying itself the tools to become competitive globally in crucial sectors.”
www.foreignaffairs.com/china/case-letting-...
“Washington and its allies lost the war in Afghanistan but succeeded against al-Qaeda,” argues @akcronin.
www.foreignaffairs.com/united-states/how-a...
“The centrifugal trends pulling the international system apart work to Moscow’s advantage,” writes Andrey Kortunov. But if globalization and stability return, it could become harder for Russia to “punch above its weight.”
www.foreignaffairs.com/russia/coming-risks...
Read Elizabeth Sherwood-Randall on how the United States can prepare for “a world in which AI allows more actors—rogue states, terrorist groups, even individuals—to develop new bioweapons of their own.”
www.foreignaffairs.com/united-states/ai-an...
In a new episode of “The Foreign Affairs Interview,” @JasonBordoff and Meghan O’Sullivan discuss how governments are weaponizing energy to devastating effect. Listen here:
www.foreignaffairs.com/podcasts/iran-shock...
“Beijing hopes that a consensus built around strategic stability can help China and the United States manage their differences more effectively and that it will prevent the worst outcomes: military conflict or a new cold war,” writes @mawangcun1.
www.foreignaffairs.com/united-states/emerg...
“Outright defeat of Iran and the axis groups is likely out of reach, but limiting the threat they pose is still possible,” write @peterjsalisbury, @Wolf_Paes, and Henry Thompson.

Read @dbyman on why jihadism has lost much of its global allure:
www.foreignaffairs.com/united-states/rise-...
Erin Dumbacher makes the case against expanding the U.S. nuclear arsenal:
www.foreignaffairs.com/united-states/ameri...
The United States’ “mix of geography, deterrence, and power has led many Americans to feel almost untouchable at home,” writes @SethGJones. It is time for them “to revise their assumptions.”
www.foreignaffairs.com/united-states/end-a...
“Russia is, to the dismay of its critics, holding strong and proving itself in the current moment,” writes Andrey Kortunov. “But to sustain that success, it will have to look beyond short-term gains and narrow self-interest.”
www.foreignaffairs.com/russia/coming-risks...
“The fact is, the frontier of knowledge for many industries lies outside the United States,” writes @BrianCDeese. “The federal government must get better at weighing the risks and rewards of foreign investment to take advantage of that expertise.”
www.foreignaffairs.com/china/case-letting-...
Both Canadian and U.S. efforts to stockpile critical minerals need “to go much further and be more North American in scope to contribute to the fight against Chinese market dominance,” writes @ChadBown.

Read Anna Nelson and Cary Fowler on the political consequences of hunger:
www.foreignaffairs.com/united-states/how-a...

Read Holmes Liao and Dennis Blair on what four decades of naval warfare can teach Taipei about a potential Chinese invasion:
www.foreignaffairs.com/taiwan/how-taiwan-c...
U.S. officials shouldn’t burnish al-Qaeda’s “legacy by acting and speaking as if it still exists,” writes @akcronin.
www.foreignaffairs.com/united-states/how-a...
Listen to the latest episode of “The Foreign Affairs Interview,” featuring @JasonBordoff and Meghan O’Sullivan in conversation with editor @dankurtzphelan:

Trump’s plan for a Golden Dome missile shield “will shape the brewing arms competition more than anything else,” writes @ArmsControlWonk.

“History makes clear that trade imbalances are always resolved eventually,” writes @michaelxpettis. “What remains uncertain is how damaging the resolution will be—and for whom.”
www.foreignaffairs.com/united-states/great...
China cannot maintain its current trajectory “without eventually running out of customers,” writes @MikeFroman. “Put simply, Beijing has outgrown its economic model.”
www.foreignaffairs.com/china/next-global-e...
“A militarily dominant Germany could prove particularly dangerous if its centrist domestic leadership starts to lose power—as it just well might.” Read @LianaFix on the potential risks of German rearmament: www.foreignaffairs.com/germany/europes-nex...
“The central tragedy of ‘The Peloponnesian War’ is the story of growing Athenian arrogance and hubris and its fateful consequences,” writes Jonathan Kirshner. “Modern-day Athenians, trumpeting the virtue of strength, would do well to heed Thucydides’s warnings.” www.foreignaffairs.com/united-states/stron...
“The frontlines of the war in Ukraine run not just through floodplains and shattered towns but also through a more nebulous kind of terrain: the realm of civilization.” Ayşe Zarakol reviews “The Steppe and Its Empires” by Michael Khodarkovsky: www.foreignaffairs.com/reviews/myth-eurasi...
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu “now publicly and explicitly supports waging wars without end,” writes Amos Harel. Would Gadi Eisenkot take a different approach?
www.foreignaffairs.com/israel/can-israel-e...
What is needed is “a shared understanding of how the United States and China are going to cohabit this planet,” says @jessicacweiss. “In what forms and how dangerous is that coexistence going to be?”
