The Pentagon, led by Pete Hegseth, has asked its European allies — if they can still be called that at all — to hold back on public communication about Russia and not to emphasize the Russian threat. According to a source who spoke to Reuters, Elbridge Colby told a Baltic official that “provoking” the Russians should be avoided, while another European official summed up the American message as fol

The RMDSZ's behavior regarding the territorial-administrative reform floated by Grindeanu is becoming increasingly strange. After the news first broke, a deep silence surrounded the matter — maintained not only by our one and only party, but also by its lackey press. Then Hunor said something to the effect that they would wait and see, that they might support it or might not, but in any case no cl

According to Vladimir Putin, Russia closely cooperates with its American space industry partners, including Elon Musk, despite political disagreements, whom he called "a brilliant man". The Russian president praised the SpaceX founder at an exhibition in Moscow, just one day after Musk justified restricting Starlink's military use in Ukraine by citing the risk of Russian destruction of satellites.

The United States has warned several Gulf Arab states, through diplomatic and military channels, to prepare for a "short but intense" campaign against Iran after the November 3 U.S. midterm elections. According to the Wall Street Journal, Donald Trump has not yet made a final decision, but is leaning toward a large-scale strike that would also target Iranian infrastructure and nuclear facilities.

In 2018, he was still scolding Germany for relying on American military protection against Russia while funneling billions to Moscow through its energy purchases, but now his negotiators have raised the idea of reviving Russian gas sales to Europe, and even restoring Nord Stream, as an economic incentive for a war settlement.

Donald Trump has identified yet another threat to American wildlife: solar panels, which he claims are a hundred times hotter than a stove and fry any animal that jumps on them. The president of the United States shared this peculiar energy discovery at a campaign rally in Texas, declaring that the black panels “kill all the animals.” The story so far has not explained why America's entire fauna w

Moldova keeps adopting measures that one would rightly expect from a NATO member state if it took its own security seriously. When it had to defend its elections from Russian interference, Chișinău uncovered networks, tracked money flows and strengthened its defenses with foreign partners; now it wants to draw on Ukraine's wartime experience to protect its airspace. On October 26, the two countrie

Bulgarian Prime Minister Rumen Radev has drawn a peculiar security-policy lesson from the drone attacks in the Black Sea: in his view, Romania was hit by further attacks because Bucharest named Russia as responsible. According to his remarks at Monday's economic forum in Sofia, one of the secrets to calm in the region could be for the attacked countries to show enough tact to keep quiet about who

In September he was still promising five thousand dollars to every adult American if the Republicans kept control of both houses of Congress, and now he has put a million-dollar reward on the table for anyone who provides information about election fraud that leads to an arrest and then a conviction. Ahead of the November 3 midterm elections, Donald Trump is trying to use promises of money to make

Today Hunor Kelemen finally spoke out on the territorial-administrative reform, and what he said hardly reassures us. The chairman of the Democratic Alliance of Hungarians in Romania (UDMR) ran through the obligatory points about consulting the communities, thorough preparation and the protection of minority rights, then delivered the politically most relevant piece of information: that no talks o

And so this moment has arrived too, while the entire Hungarian press quietly accepted that once again we have nothing to say about a political idea that will probably rewrite the relations and everyday life of Transylvanian Hungarians for decades to come. Grindeanu announced the other day that the government would push the territorial-administrative reform through by assuming responsibility before

Behold the floating result of Donald Trump and Vladimir Putin's joint deal: the first tanker has already left Russian territorial waters and is heading for New York, carrying nearly 300,000 barrels of diesel on board. Moscow, of course, isn't wasting any time on discretion — Deputy Prime Minister Alexander Novak announced on Tuesday that three ships are already on their way to the United States, a

Winter is coming, and Putin has pulled out his well-worn weapon of gas-scaremongering, loading it with the usual rounds: Europe will freeze, businesses will go under, families will weep over their heating bills if they still refuse to buy from Moscow. At Tuesday's gas forum in Moscow, the Russian president once again cast a worried eye on the future of European households, since he evidently finds

Leading military and security officials from Saudi Arabia, Pakistan and Turkey held talks with the Iranian leadership in Tehran on Monday, as Houthi attacks from Yemen put growing pressure on Saudi Arabia, while Washington and Tehran threaten each other with further strikes. According to Iranian state media, the parties agreed to continue security consultations, though the three guest countries di

Democratic members of the U.S. House Judiciary Committee are pushing for the appointment of an independent special counsel to investigate President Donald Trump's relationship with Jeffrey Epstein, as well as how the Department of Justice handled the allegations raised in the case. The 53-page report, released eight days before the November 3 midterm elections, was met with outright rejection from

Britain's defense industry has been waiting for months for the government to attach funding and deadlines to its defense commitments. According to Prime Minister Andy Burnham's Monday announcement, Chancellor John Healey will show in Wednesday's budget how the already approved force-development plan will be financed, and at what pace the commitments made to NATO through 2035 will be fulfilled.

After electric and hybrid vehicles, Brussels is looking to narrow the European market's gates to further Chinese products. According to Bloomberg, the European Commission is preparing to restrict imports of chemical products, furniture and machinery, and could present its first proposals as early as the first quarter of 2027. For now, discussions are focused on which products would be affected and

In the House of Representatives, the Democrats are the favorites, and they could also win a majority in the Senate in the November 3 U.S. midterm elections. A week before the vote, Republicans have reason for concern in both chambers: if they lose control of Congress, Donald Trump will have a much harder time pushing through his agenda in the next two years of his presidency.

According to the Latvian Prosecutor's Office, Belarusian border guards are forcibly compelling migrants to damage the Latvian border fence and surveillance equipment. In camps near the border, they check who has paid for the illegal crossing, and those who have not settled their debt are beaten and tortured into committing sabotage. According to Latvian authorities, as border security has tightene

According to the Romanian Intelligence Service (SRI), a sabotage network directed from Russia was behind the September 14 fire in Brașov, which caused damage next to CARFIL SA, a company belonging to the ROMARM state defense industry group. The case involves two Belarusian citizens and one Ukrainian citizen who had been living in EU member states. Two of them were arrested in Germany, while the th
