    U.S.-Russia Security Cooperation: A Narrow Window of Opportunity

    Dennis T. Cosgrove, a former FBI legal attaché in Moscow, recounts a period in the late 1990s to early 2000s when practical cooperation between U.S. and Russian security services was possible and productive. This cooperation, though fragile and informal, allowed for joint work on cases involving kidnappings, financial crimes, and corruption. However, as political relations deteriorated, this cooperation collapsed, leaving a fragmented security landscape across the former Soviet space. Cosgrove argues that even limited, practitioner-driven cooperation could help manage shared risks today.

    South Korea's Stock Market Crash: Emergency Meeting After Billions Wiped Out

    South Korea's stock market has experienced a severe crash, with the KOSPI index dropping over 40% in just 40 days, wiping out approximately $2 trillion in market value. This rapid decline has triggered multiple circuit breakers and prompted an emergency meeting by financial authorities. The crash has been attributed to excessive leverage among retail investors, particularly in single-stock leveraged ETFs, and concerns about new Chinese competition and disappointing earnings from SK Hynix. The Bank of England is also investigating potential risks from Asian equity exposure among London-based investment banks. Regulators are considering measures to stabilize the market and prevent further losses.
