| NATO & the Global Enduring Disorder November 2022 | This November, the NATO & the Global Enduring Disorder project has examined: the US and Brazilian election results as indicators that certain Western demographics are tiring of neo-populist bluster; Russia's ongoing war in Ukraine facilitating elegant NATO coordination and compromise but causing troubles at the UN; how Iran's football team has the power to topple a regime; and more that you can read about on our site.
