Global security tensions remain elevated with multiple potential flashpoints emerging. Ongoing conflicts in Ukraine continue to strain international relations, with Russia maintaining aggressive military postures. Geopolitical tensions are particularly high in the Caribbean, with Venezuela's military alert raising concerns about potential regional instability.
