Former UK Defence Secretary Sir Grant Shapps warns Iran is expanding its threat into Europe—and admits Western strikes failed to deter the Houthis. He backs British air support for Saudi Arabia. Can military force contain Tehran's reach without triggering a wider war? @grantshapps

Moldova is drawing Transnistria into its legal and economic system without resolving its political status. The result may be a durable half-integration that leaves Russia with enough leverage to keep the conflict unresolved. By Alexander Dubowy @dubowy_alex

Transnistria’s dependence on Moldovan trade, taxes, and EU market access gives Chisinau new leverage. But economic dependence does not erase separatist institutions, and too much pressure could make the region harder, not easier, to reintegrate.
Nvidia is investing billions in Europe's AI future—but can Europe achieve technological independence while relying on American chips? The stakes go beyond innovation: AI infrastructure is becoming a question of economic power, data sovereignty, and national security.

Is Washington undermining Ukraine’s defense? Kyiv accuses the U.S. of withholding warnings of Russian missile attacks and restricting critical satellite communications. As Trump pressures Zelensky, Moscow could gain strategic ground.

Pedro Sánchez called a snap election over rents. Now comes a harder test: can Spain’s conservatives bring NATO’s loudest dissenter back into line, or will budgets, courts, and far-right demands keep the shift mostly in tone? by Thomas Falk @topfalk

Sánchez sidestepped NATO’s 5 percent target, denied bases for the Iran campaign, and imposed an arms embargo on Israel. Yet Spain kept staffing the alliance’s eastern flank. The target was Trump’s agenda rather than NATO itself.
Can the U.S. and China stabilize rivalry without dividing Asia? A bargain could reduce the risk of war but give Beijing more say in Taiwan’s future. The real question is who sets the rules, and who must live by them? By Alexander Dubowy @dubowy_alex

A U.S.–China grand bargain could make the world safer, but it might also redraw Asia’s spheres of influence. The dividing line is crucial: are Trump and Xi agreeing to restrain themselves, or deciding what other countries are allowed to do?
The EU is labeling drone attacks on ships off Bulgaria an escalation of the Russia–Ukraine war, while NATO says it would adjust its defenses “as needed.” The reactions signal growing concern that Black Sea shipping risks are spreading closer to EU and NATO territory.

The last U.S. combat forces are out of Iraq. Now comes a harder test: can Washington replace troops with dollar controls, local partners, and over-the-horizon firepower and still contain adversaries while preserving influence? by Richard Weitz @RichardWeitzDC

The withdrawal also exposes a harder security problem in Kurdistan. U.S. air and missile defenses have gone, while the KRI remains vulnerable to drones, pressure from Baghdad, and coercion from Iran and Turkey.
Former Israeli Intelligence Official: Before October 7, Hamas' deception campaign convinced Israel it had abandoned military confrontation to improve life in Gaza, knowing that the more Israel believed this, the greater the element of surprise.

Former Israeli Intelligence Official: Netanyahu wants new confrontation with Hamas or Iran to postpone an election he fears he'll lose. “Netanyahu is working very hard in order that this kind of event will happen. He doesn't want the election. He's very afraid.”
