Preface

The United States, as the world’s sole superpower, is seeing its position wane
as China and Russia look to reassert themselves as global powers, especially
when seeing what is going on regarding Taiwan and Ukraine. These are
significant challenges confronting President Biden and his national security
team. Moreover, there are many other security issues confronting the United
States. This book is an amalgam of open-source intelligence analysis of
countries and non-state actors from around the globe that could hurt the United
States. Chapters in this work dissect issues using qualitative analysis
techniques focusing on secondary data sources in order to provide an
unclassified assessment of threats as seen by the United States using two
models (the York Intelligence Red Team Model and the Federal Secondary
Data Case Study Triangulation Model). The key audience for this book
includes the 18 members of the U.S. intelligence community, members of the
U.S. National Security Council, allies of the United States, non-governmental
organizations (NGOs) looking to provide support abroad, universities with
international relations and intelligence analysis programs, and private sector
companies considering expanding their operations overseas.
