Trump calls Ukraine's strikes on Russia an escalation that could help end the war
US President Donald Trump has described Ukraine's intensified strikes on Russian territory as an "escalation," though he believes they may help push Russia towards ending the war. Ukrainian attacks on Russian oil refineries have triggered a fuel crisis now being addressed at the highest levels in Moscow. Trump has also announced the transfer of Patriot missile technology to Kyiv, alongside a NATO assistance package worth €140 billion. Russia says Western involvement will only prolong the conflict, as drone and missile strikes from both sides continue.

Trump’s Iran Threats Undercut His Own Peace Talks
Donald Trump reportedly issued a series of unhinged threats against Iran just as JD Vance was engaged in sensitive negotiations in Switzerland, raising fresh questions about whether the administration is undermining its own diplomacy. Meanwhile, the battalion linked to the killing of Hind Rajab has reportedly suffered major losses in South Lebanon, and the official Trump White House account stunned observers by publicly mocking Batya Ungar-Sargon for attacking the Iran deal. Elsewhere, Trump is reportedly venting frustrations over problems with his reflecting pool project, a massive cold-storage facility fire has erupted in Los Angeles, and a U.S. operation targeting an alleged drug-smuggling vessel in the eastern Pacific left two people dead and six survivors rescued.

It’s terrorism, plain and simple
Terrorism’s overarching aims tend to be highly symbolic, baseless and unreasonable. Strikes against the “ruling class” and the “enemy of the people” – and the collateral losses that may result from them – are not imbued with any strategic wisdom simply because those responsible adopt a particular name or publish a political manifesto.
