"We are drowning in information but starved for knowledge." –– John Naisbitt
Iranian leadership is trying to buy time and reduce protest risk without altering core nuclear or regional policies, raising questions about regime resilience, succession dynamics, and the stability of energy and maritime security in the Gulf. reuters.com/world/middle-e…
Russia’s message fits its effort to blame NATO for the war, portray Europe as blocking diplomacy, and label Western support as escalation. Moscow aims to exploit gaps between Washington and key European capitals while freezing its gains in any ceasefire. reuters.com/world/russias-…
The 9M729, capable of carrying nuclear or conventional warheads and reaching deep into Europe, is now being used against Ukraine. It reshapes the risk map: mobile, long-range, dual-capable strikes on rear bases and logistics. NATO should harden, disperse, and tighten…
Strong nuclear saber-rattling this week as Russia touts tests of a nuclear-powered Burevestnik cruise missile, MIRV-capable Sarmat ICBM, and autonomous nuclear-powered Poseidon torpedo. Moscow is compensating for mounting conventional vulnerability by leaning harder on nuclear…
Zelensky’s statement positions Kyiv as diplomatically reasonable, but it won’t catalyze talks unless Russia drops its preconditions or the framework shifts to something Moscow perceives as gains, neither of which is evident today. reuters.com/world/europe/z…
China’s pause on rare‑earth export controls buys the U.S. time, but without accelerated magnet output, midstream processing and allied co‑production by mid‑2026, structural dependence will deepen and Beijing will retain coercive control over critical tech and defence supply…
reuters.com/world/russia-s… Hours after Washington put a second Putin–Trump summit on hold, Moscow showcased strategic nuclear-force drills while continuing heavy strikes in Ukraine. The exercise underscores Russia’s use of nuclear signaling to frame escalation risk around diplomacy…
reuters.com/business/energ… Western oil majors like Chevron, Shell, and Eni aren’t operating in Russia directly; they’re tied to Kazakhstan’s Karachaganak field, which depends on Russia’s Orenburg plant for processing. It’s a Soviet-era link that endures for legal and technical…
ft.com/content/755d74… Every major power in history eventually becomes capital-weighted once its security and prosperity depend on complex trade and finance systems. In late Rome, economic elites and landowners effectively captured the Senate. In 19th-century Britain, London…
reuters.com/business/energ… Ukraine’s energy resilience hinges on hardening plants and substations, securing spares, and integrating point air defenses to keep reactors and cities stable. Allies should rapidly deploy point-defense sensors and robust C-UAS at critical sites.
reuters.com/world/china/ch… China’s tightening of rare-earth exports exposes a critical vulnerability that remains unaddressed. The United States, Europe, and Japan must form a coordinated offtake alliance with guaranteed price floors, rapidly expand allied refining and magnet…
reuters.com/world/china/ta… China’s gray-zone probes around Taiwan mirror Russia’s pressure on NATO air and seas. The intent is to normalize presence, erode red lines, map defenses, and exhaust crews so a later move meets less resistance. This blurs peace and war and makes a small…
reuters.com/markets/commod… EU gas supply is stable for now, but strikes on Ukraine's gas sites expose structural risks. Damaged compressors or pipelines can disrupt transit, backflows cut flexibility, and instability lifts prices. Energy security now means air defense, grid repair,…
ft.com/content/078b8e… Russia’s updated Iskander-M and Kinzhal use terminal maneuvers that cut Ukraine’s intercept rates, stressing scarce Patriot batteries and forcing radar moves. As winter nears, risk to factories and power nodes climbs. The answer is to reload interceptors,…
reuters.com/business/aeros… Reports say Ukrainian HIMARS rockets hit power infrastructure in Russia’s Belgorod; however, type remains unconfirmed. If HIMARS, it suggests U.S.-approved cross-border use against energy nodes, heightening broader retaliation risk and pushing NATO to…
reuters.com/world/denmark-… Maritime-launched drones across Europe show that even America’s distant coastlines no longer provide strategic depth or sanctuary. Small, low, and quiet, they’re hard to detect and harder to stop. Hostile drones can probe or strike ports, bases, and power…
