National Security, the Midterms, and the 114th Congress
President Obama does not want a new war. It will be up to the new Congress to decide, alongside the president, what American foreign policy and strategy will be for the next two years.

Speaking at a panel discussion co-sponsored by CQ Roll Call and Just Security, Carnegie’s Rachel Kleinfeld discussed President Obama’s foreign policy challenges. Kleinfeld explained that, when Obama came into office, the United States was already engaged in two wars. His campaign was built on his steadfast opposition to those wars and efforts to end them. Now everyone knows that he will not be able to completely succeed. But one thing is clear: he does not want to have a third war. It will be up to this new Congress to decide, alongside the president, what American foreign policy and strategy will be for the next two years.

- In the Kremlin’s AI Propaganda Blitz, the Noise Is the SignalCommentary
Russia’s AI-driven propaganda campaigns operate in a fragmented, chaotic, and often illogical manner. That’s not necessarily a problem for the Kremlin, though: It’s much easier to mimic genuine public debate that way.

Ahead of a tough winter for Ukraine, Donald Trump’s swing back toward Russia bodes ill. But instead of panicking, Kyiv’s European allies are focusing on action.

- How Will Trump and Putin’s Diesel Deal Impact Russia and Global Markets?Commentary
Without a ceasefire with Ukraine on attacking each other’s energy infrastructure—to which the Kremlin is unlikely to agree—the diesel agreement between Putin and Trump is largely for show, rather than representing a genuine increase in the volumes of Russian diesel on the global market.

- Turning Russian Assets into Financing for Ukraine NowCommentary
Funding Ukraine remains a priority for European leaders. As Russia’s war of aggression heads into another winter, two feasible options to mobilize support for Kyiv should be fast-tracked.
