The President Should Not Be Posting

1 week ago | panda.substack.com | Ankit Panda

This will be a short one. I just want to commit to print some thoughts I have about how the U.S. president is choosing to engage in public communications during a major war between Israel and Iran.

The first South Asian crisis of the third nuclear age

1 week ago | caravanmagazine.in | Ankit Panda

WHEN CONSIDERING NUCLEAR risks, commentators often invoke “the brink.” The notion evokes a sense of peril. One imagines a precipice, beyond which lies the unthinkable abyss. Rational nuclear powers, in a theoretical sense, understand that the possibility of careening off the brink is precisely what enables deterrence—the word contains the Latin root “terrere,” meaning to frighten or terrify.

Pursuing Stable Coexistence: A Reorientation of U.S. Policy Toward North Korea

2 weeks ago | usip.org | Frank Aum |Ankit Panda

Editor’s Note: The following is an excerpt from a report originally published by the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace. Read the full report here. The status quo trajectory of U.S. policy toward North Korea is unsustainable. Rigid adherence to a narrow strategy of denuclearization and enhanced deterrence has led to a state of dangerous coexistence.
Ukraine’s Deep Strikes on Russian Bombers (And More)

3 weeks ago | panda.substack.com | Ankit Panda
