Irina has presented to the United Nations and UN Human Rights Commission, on congressional panels, at international conferences, and scholarly conferences. In this conversation, Irina highlights the interconnectedness of global crises and the collaboration among state and non-state actors to weaken the United States and its partners. She also explores the challenges posed by information warfare and the potential misuse of artificial intelligence. Brian and Irina also discuss the geopolitical goals of China, Russia, Iran, and North Korea, as well as the divergent responses within Western countries.
