This R&D provides resources on growing tensions between the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) and Russia. Russian military maneuvers have recently placed the Baltics under pressure, while also causing the United Kingdom to scramble its naval fleet. With growing tensions between the United States and Russia over Syria, some experts wonder if a minor event could trigger an outbreak of fighting between the two global adversaries.

This R&D provides resources on the closing stretch of the 2016 presidential election. Last week it appeared that Donald Trump was heading to certain defeat, but the announcement that the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) was looking into new e-mails related to former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton has given him a late jolt in the polls. Trump has re-established his lead in the Los Angeles Times tracking poll and has closed a twelve point margin in the ABC/Washington Post tracking poll. However, for Trump to win he would still need to sweep nearly all the remaining tossup states and then capture a state in Clinton’s column according RealClearPolitics and that may be tough to do with just a week left.

With a week to go until Election Day, will Donald Trump get the surge he needs on the #Roadto270? https://t.co/FSSsNR0PpZ
