As the Ukraine conflict grinds on and the horrors multiply, today’s post takes a deep dive into a webinar discussion of how ancient Greek tragedy can help us rethink the conflict and move forward.
Today we examine new opportunities for peace in Ukraine with President Zelensky’s positive response to China’s peace plan, consider heightened risks from using Artificial Intelligence in nuclear command systems and much more.

Canadian mediation in Cameroon, constructive co-existence with China, startling Ukraine developments, the origins of Canada’s arms export policy and new space risks are all topics in today’s post.
