The world is moving through a period of overlapping conflict, military pressure and strategic uncertainty. Tonight on Ark Midnight, John B. Wells brings together military and national-security voices to examine the forces shaping the global battlefield — from Iran and the Strait of Hormuz to Russia and Ukraine, China and Taiwan, Arctic security, cyber warfare and the vulnerabilities inside critical infrastructure.
The Intelligence Briefing looks beyond individual headlines to the larger strategic picture: what the United States is trying to protect, how competing theaters are stretching resources and attention, where escalation could come from, and how military planners assess risk when several crises are moving at once.
Tonight, we follow the map, examine the strategy, test the information and look at the systems that could determine what happens next — at the Edge of War.
