This is a good read. Context is always stated to be incredibly important in dealing with security matters, but all too often the context of larger, geopolitical issues can be overlooked. Understanding "how the game is being played" at all levels allows us to refine and enhance our security and safety guidance as well as identify potential threats and risks that might not be readily apparent.
