The RICs Ring Road: a network of bi-oceanic corridors for Eurasia
Among the infrastructural trends of the past several years, one of the most actively discussed has been creation of bi-oceanic corridors across the main regions of the Global South. And while the benefits from the launching of a system of bi-oceanic corridors would arguably accrue to the entire global economy via reducing the dependency on a limited array of chokepoints, some countries stand to derive benefits that are particularly palpable. This concerns the largest emerging markets, most notab...  Read more »

🇷🇺🇺🇸🇨🇳 Kremlin says new arms control deal will take time.

Russian presidential spokesman Dmitry Peskov said negotiations with Washington on arms control would require “very lengthy, meticulous” expert-level talks, meaning quick results should not be expected.

The comments follow President Donald Trump’s proposal for trilateral arms control negotiations involving the US, Russia and China after his meeting with Chinese President Xi Jinping.

Moscow says any future agreement would need to address the nuclear arsenals of the major powers, while China has previously questioned the need to include its arsenal in such negotiations.

The previous US-Russia New START treaty expired in February, leaving the future framework for strategic arms control under discussion.

The teens were doing a Tik Tok "door kick challenge" where you kick in a door to a random house.

Iraq has reportedly lost around $60 billion in oil revenues since the crisis began, while exports have fallen from about 3.5 million to 2.5 million barrels per day.

Baghdad is looking to expand exports through Türkiye and explore routes via Jordan and Syria, but officials and industry experts say these alternatives cannot yet replace the Strait of Hormuz.

🇪🇺 EU SEEKS NATO-STYLE RESPONSE TO RUSSIAN HYBRID ATTACKS

EU defense ministers are discussing an "Emergency Security Protocol" – modeled on NATO's Article 4 – to respond to drone incursions, sabotage, and cyberattacks.

📜 European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen proposed the protocol in her State of the Union speech, framing it as Europe's own version of NATO's Article 4, which allows a member to call for allied consultations when it believes its security is threatened.

🗣️ EU foreign policy chief Kaja Kallas: The protocol would apply to "everything that is under the threshold of armed aggression."

🔍 It could cover drone incursions, sabotage, and cyberattacks – once responsibility is clearly established.

🇺🇸💱 TRUMP OFFERS IRAN SANCTIONS RELIEF FOR NUCLEAR CONCESSIONS – But Who Trusts Whom?

The US says it's willing to release frozen funds and ease sanctions – if Iran makes concrete nuclear steps. Tehran wants talks focused on the Strait of Hormuz and the naval blockade. The two sides remain far apart.

💰 US offer: Sanctions relief and release of frozen Iranian assets in return for nuclear concessions.

🇮🇷 Iran's priority: Talks focused on the Strait of Hormuz and ending the US naval blockade – not just nuclear issues.

🤝 Mediators: Qatar and Pakistan are meeting with Iranian FM Araghchi in New York, trying again to bridge the gap.

🗣️ A US official called the indirect talks "positive and constructive" – claiming Iran "has indicated they are flexible on the nuclear issues."

Britain's foreign secretary says London won't talk to Moscow. But Washington is already planning the Miami summit — with Putin invited.

🇺🇦💸 UKRAINE ADMITS IT CAN'T PAY FOR ITS OWN WAR – $27 Billion Hole, No Plan

Kiev has found just $7 billion of a $27 billion defense funding gap. The EU is asking questions. And Ukraine's prime minister is telling citizens to "gain optimism" – while raising VAT.

💰 $27 billion gap in this year's defense budget – total military-related spending is $155 billion.

📉 Only $7 billion found through austerity and reallocations.

🇪🇺 EU officials caught off guard – privately questioning whether Ukraine is spending efficiently or overstating its needs.
