Hi, r/worldnews, we’re Rishi Iyengar, a staff writer at Foreign Policy covering defense, diplomacy, and technology from Washington, D.C., and John Haltiwanger, a staff writer at the magazine covering U.S. national security and international news from New York City.
This weekend, we’ll be reporting from the Munich Security Conference, a forum for security officials, diplomats, and world leaders to discuss policy and defense. Only yesterday, the conference released its annual report, writing that the “world has entered a period of wrecking-ball politics.”
At FP, we also cover Ukraine and European security, Greenland, U.S. involvement in Latin America, the evolving situation regarding the United States and Iran, national security and defense strategies, and cyber threats and cooperation. We’ll be answering questions on any of these topics—and the year’s global news so far—from 12 p.m. to 2 p.m. EST on Tuesday, Feb. 10.
For more: We co-write Foreign Policy’s free weekly Situation Report newsletter, and we’ll send out bonus daily editions reported from the Munich Security Conference this weekend. Sign up here.

Given the way things are going in the world, do you believe now is still a good time to keep investing in defense stock e.g. Rheinmetall? They have had a huge climb over the last couple of years but is that flattening out or likely to still keep going? Obviously this isn’t going to be financial advice and you can’t predict the future, but I’m just curious what kind of vibe you have in this direction.
How exportable is the Houthi model of interrupting commercial shipping? Is there a tangible risk of such factors making their way to the western hemisphere?
The EU has begun its process of decoupling/de-risking from the US, one could draw the angers of Trump, Vance, Rubio, and others. How are US politicians and groups interpreting the split of the two blocs, especially as Macron calls for the EU acting as a superpower bloc against the interests of the US and China?
If there is a Russian attack on NATO and the US declines to honor Article V to what extend would the rest of NATO be willing to confront Russia? Does the political will exist in the remaining 31 countries to honor Article V even without the US?
