&lt;p&gt;Would a Trump presidency change China's calculations on Taiwan?&lt;br&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Why Ukraine’s generals may have rolled the dice on an incursion into Russia&lt;br&gt;
&lt;a href="https://www.cnn.com/2024/08/08/europe/ukraine-russia-incursion-analysis-intl-cmd/index.html" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener"&gt;https://www.cnn.com/2024/08/08/europe/ukraine-russia-incursion-analysis-intl-cmd/index.html&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Taiwan Announced a Record Defense Budget: But Is It Enough to Deter China?&lt;br&gt;

&lt;p&gt;There is 'no situation' where Taiwan can defend itself against China the way Ukraine has fought against Russia, says APAC security expert&lt;br&gt;
&lt;a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/taiwan-cant-defend-against-china-without-direct-american-help-2023-4#:%7E:text=Taiwan%20can%27t%20fight%20off%20China%20alone%2C%20even%20if,US%20can%20arrive%2C%20she%20told%20The%20Washington%20Post" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener"&gt;https://www.businessinsider.com/taiwan-cant-defend-against-china-without-direct-american-help-2023-4#:~:text=Taiwan%20can%27t%20fight%20off%20China%20alone%2C%20even%20if,US%20can%20arrive%2C%20she%20told%20The%20Washington%20Post&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The U.S. could slash climate pollution, but it might not be enough, a new report says&lt;br&gt;
&lt;a href="https://www.npr.org/2023/07/20/1189060785/u-s-could-cut-climate-pollution-but-it-is-still-short-of-paris-agreement-pledge" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener"&gt;https://www.npr.org/2023/07/20/1189060785/u-s-could-cut-climate-pollution-but-it-is-still-short-of-paris-agreement-pledge&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Harris has yet to outline her plan for climate change. Here's what the Democratic Party platform says&lt;br&gt;
