Rogue States and Illegal Non-State Actors: A Growing Global Alliance
Sanctioned state actors and illegal non-state actors are forming a global alliance to undermine the West and disrupt the post-World War II world order. Emanuele Ottolenghi, a Senior Scholar at the Foundation for the Defense of Democracies, emphasizes the alarming increase in international activities by these groups and their impact on the US.
With limited options for legitimate business partners, rogue states like Russia, Iran, North Korea, and Venezuela are finding common ground with drug cartels, Islamist terrorists, and other radical groups. The consequences, such as illegal immigration and drug wars in Mexico spilling into the US, are detrimental to American security.
Dr. Ottolenghi’s expertise in Hezbollah’s Latin America networks and Iran’s sanctions evasion sheds light on the complex web of transnational threats. Through a lack of decisive action, the US is facing a growing danger from this nefarious alliance. Stay informed on this critical issue by following our coverage on Telegram: @Kyivpost_official.
