The widening rift between Trump and Europe is a gift to Putin: On Tuesday, Trump doubled down on his administration’s criticism of Europe, saying in a newly published interview with Politico that European nations were “weak” and “decaying” because of their immigration policies. The jubilation likely expressed in Moscow over Washington’s put-downs of Europe is reminiscent of the glee over Trump and Vance’s public scolding of Zelensky in the Oval Office later that month. But there appears to be a deliberate Russian strategy here. Russian policy has been clearly aimed at chipping away European support for Ukraine, while seizing an opportunity to sow doubt about the viability of the NATO alliance. (CNN) (AC-This article is similar in tone to the 'Russian collusion' narratives from 2016.

(TradingEconomics) -Security Concerns- NSTR -Technology and Science- 1. Modern Warfare: Lessons From Ukraine: The future of war is looking more science-fiction by the day. In Ukraine, each side uses tens of thousands of these drones per month. They’re so common that 12 gauge shotguns have become essential kit for soldiers on the front-lines. It turns out that birdshot is among the most effective counters. It’s not just flying drones. Unmanned ground combat vehicles (UGVs) are also coming into play. For now, these ground-based drones are crude with limited range and ammunition. But within a few years they will evolve into intimidating juggernauts roaming the battlefield. In the near future tanks and artillery will also be unmanned. Drones and missiles are already becoming capable of autonomous action. But both sides are understandably secretive about their capabilities. The bottom line is that the hunter-killer robots from The Terminator are moving from sci-fi to reality. (ZeroHedge) (AC-These technological advancements are not just limited to the battlefield, but also to semi-permissive and even permissive environments and localized conflicts. As veterans of recent conflicts, the rapid evolution of tactics and strategy disassociate us from the modern battlefields. For example, are snipers and recon units even relevant anymore? It is significantly a new world of combat, only 3+ years in the making.) 2.

He details how the regime exported the Tren de Aragua gang to commit crimes like kidnappings and extortion in the U.S., alongside decades of spying, including Russian listening posts and paid U.S. officials.

Trump, indicate a possible new concern over potential actions toward the nation. The years of miliary drills and buildup to practice invasions of the island are giving way to harsh words over outside intervention in what China considers their own sovereign land. This may simply be continued 'programming' of global narratives to facilitate a reason to invade, or an actual precursor to action. This is the time for world powers to plan accordingly and deter or buildup if choosing to defend Taiwan.
