From Russia and the Middle East to Africa and Asia, terrorist attacks and the ongoing threat from ISIS create not only security worries but add to increasing fears about global markets. While the list of trouble spots has grown, U.S. military involvement has declined in some of the world's most volatile regions. Among the most immediate concerns: Russia, which continues to support militants in eastern Ukraine and President Bashar al-Assad in Syria; Iran, which, free of sanctions, provides military support to conflicts in the region; Asia, where territorial disputes in the China Sea linger and North Korea continues to test nuclear weapons; and ISIS.

Listen as a panel of experts considers which pose the greatest threat and what leaders can do to contain them.
