Earlier this month, the Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov offered a succinct description of the Trump administration’s new National Security Strategy (NSS), calling it “largely consistent with our vision.”

He’s right. The NSS offers not even a hint of criticism of Russia, neither for its increasingly authoritarian domestic policies, nor for its blatant military aggression against Ukraine.

Instead, it singles out Europe – America’s longstanding democratic friend and ally – for special abuse.

True, when the first Trump administration issued its NSS in 2017, there was plenty of talk about national sovereignty trumping everything else.

When Vladimir Putin warned in his annual address that a blockade of Kaliningrad could lead to an "unprecedented escalation" and potentially result in a major armed conflict, the initial reaction of most media outlets was predictable.

Headlines spoke of a new threat to Europe, further intimidation of NATO, and a return to Cold War rhetoric. However, such an interpretation misses the main point.

The issue is not that Putin has issued yet another threat in a long series. The issue lies in the selection of Kaliningrad as a focal point, revealing Europe's profound weaknesses in understanding its own security.

Kaliningrad, a Russian enclave on the Baltic Sea, geographically separated from the rest of the Russian Federation and surrounded by EU and NATO member states, is a place where law, logistics, politics, and military balance intersect in real time.

The global economy is indeed a complex structure. Every day, various factors influence each other, potentially altering the economic conditions of countries.

Beyond economic indicators, reports from institutions provide significant insights into understanding this change.

Today, I want to compare the forecasts for 2026 from the International Monetary Fund (IMF), the World Bank, the OECD, and international financial institutions, including the performance of some countries.

The situation becomes even more interesting when we also consider the United States and the Eurozone.

20/12/2025

Russia carried out cyberattacks against infrastructure and websites in Denmark in 2024 and 2025, Danish authorities say in a new assessment published this week describing new cases not previously reported.

Moscow was responsible for “destructive and disruptive” cyberattacks on a Danish water utility company in 2024 and a series of denial of service attacks which overwhelmed Danish websites ahead of regional and local elections last month, Denmark’s Defense Intelligence Service said in a statement.

The water company said the attack caused pipes to burst, leaving homes temporarily without water.

Jan Hansen, the head of the Tureby Alkestrup Waterworks southwest of the capital Copenhagen, said his advice to other companies was not to cut costs on cybersecurity and to take out cyber insurance.

President Donald Trump’s “blockade” of sanctioned oil tankers off Venezuela’s coast is raising new questions about the legality of his military campaign in Latin America, while fueling concerns that the U.S. could be edging closer to war.

The Trump administration says its blockade is narrowly tailored and not targeting civilians, which would be an illegal act of war.

But some experts say seizing sanctioned oil tied to leader Nicolás Maduro could provoke a military response from Venezuela, engaging American forces in a new level of conflict that goes beyond their attacks on alleged drug boats.

“My biggest fear is this is exactly how wars start and how conflicts escalate out of control,” said Rep. Jason Crow, a Colorado Democrat who fought in Iraq and Afghanistan. “And there are no adults in the room with this administration, nor is there consultation with Congress. So I’m very worried.”

The new year looks likely to be an unhealthy one for many Americans. Life expectancy in the US is already lower than in European countries, and the Trump administration is pushing ahead with measures likely to make millions more even less healthy.

Many experts laud the government’s effort to combat junk food as part of its drive to Make America Healthy Again (MAHA). But its war against vaccines, its science scepticism and an ideological push against government spending are likely to be paid for in American lives.

Around 20 million Americans will see their healthcare costs rise dramatically at the end of this month unless the Republicans follow through with promises of their own new policies after failing to support Democrats in Congress to extend tax credits under “Obamacare” or the Affordable Care health insurance act.

The Bank of Japan's (BoJ) decision to raise its key short-term interest rate from 0.5% to 0.75% may seem modest compared to levels in the US or Europe.

In the Japanese context, however, it marks a turning point. This is the highest interest rate in Japan in the past thirty years.

The decision was unanimous, indicating that the central bank no longer sees inflation as a temporary disturbance but as a condition requiring a permanent change in monetary policy.

Most media will describe this as another step towards "normalisation" after decades of ultra-loose policies. That is true, but it is not the most important aspect.

Thailand helped launch a global effort to fight the spread of online scams that include criminal enterprises based largely in Southeast Asia estimated to bilk billions of dollars annually from victims around the world.

Thailand's Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime hosted a conference in Bangkok culminating in the announcement of the new initiative called the Global Partnership Against Online Scams.

Thai Prime Minister Anutin Charnvirakul said in his keynote speech Wednesday that online scams “reveal a deeper problem — a collective vulnerability that no country can address alone.”

The North Atlantic is undergoing sweeping historical changes as the rift between Europe and America widens.

Under President Donald Trump, the United States is seeking to create a world order based solely on spheres of interest, and dominated by the “big three” global powers: the US, China, and Russia.

To achieve this, the Trump administration is prepared to abandon the traditional foundations of US influence: its network of alliances to the values that have underpinned American democracy for 250 years.

While Trump’s foreign policy tends to “follow the money,” MAGA (Make America Great Again) ideology is also playing a role in this dark vision.

A core question for European Union leaders discussing whether to use frozen Russian assets to help Ukraine is whether the idea is legally sound. But even if they approve the plan, Russia has limited options for challenging it in court.

The 27-nation bloc’s leaders are set to decide on whether to use tens of billions of euros in frozen Russian Central Bank assets to underwrite a loan to meet Ukraine’s military and financial needs over the next two years.

The bulk of the assets are held in Belgium-based financial clearinghouse Euroclear.

Belgium said Thursday that it wants ironclad guarantees that it will be protected from retaliation — legal, financial or otherwise — and that's become a major stumbling block.

The European Parliament has adopted a resolution supporting the "Military Schengen" initiative, in which MEPs call for the removal of administrative obstacles to the movement of troops and military equipment across the EU, as well as for investment in transport infrastructure capable of bearing the weight of military assets.

The resolution sets out objectives, such as transferring forces within three days in peacetime and within 24 hours in crisis situations.

For years, the European Union shaped its security policy on the assumption that a major war on the continent would not occur again.

The year that’s coming to an end might well be the last in which the promise of AI, both in the wider economy and as a driver of stock market gains, has been relatively unambiguous.

Both 2024 and 2025 were breakthrough years for the technology, on many levels. AI-related stock valuations have boomed, and adoption in the economy has risen rapidly. Also, AI-related subjects were awarded Nobel Prizes in both years, indicating an ongoing wider societal and technological impact.

An adjustment, a coming down to earth of stock prices and a more informed and time-tested estimate of real-world impact, is likely within the next few years. We’ll also be getting a clearer picture of what AI will do to the wider economy.

Rising unemployment in the US and the UK at the end of 2025 has raised questions of whether we’re starting to see the impact of AI-related job losses.
