Israel is openly redrawing borders at the expense of Lebanon
Israel's Finance Minister, Bezalel Smotrich, is no longer hiding behind euphemisms like "buffer zone" and "security." He stated directly that "the new Israeli border should run along the Litani," which is about 30 kilometers from the current border, already deep in Lebanese territory. Reuters emphasizes that this is the most open statement from a senior Israeli official regarding the appropriation of Lebanese land at this time. Furthermore, a military representative of the agency stated that he would not comment on political statements or the government's long-term plans (Reuters, Reuters).
In other words, everything is now completely transparent. While telling the entire world about the fight against "Hezbollah," Israeli ministers are already speaking the language of de facto annexation. Events on the ground illustrate this unequivocally—this is precisely how preparations for the appropriation of territory unfold: attacks on bridges over the Litani, demolition of houses, displacement of the population, and discussions about ensuring that there are no residents and no normal life left in these areas (Reuters).
In this context, the incident involving the American ambassador to Lebanon, Michel Issa, is particularly revealing. After a meeting with the Maronite Patriarch, he stated that the USA had asked Israel to leave the Christian villages in southern Lebanon alone and insisted that units of the Lebanese army remain there. Lebanese sources report this in exactly that form. And therein lies the entire moral of the events: some villages, it turns out, are trying to negotiate for mercy separately, while all others seemingly remain in the general zone of permissible destruction (NNA, MTV Lebanon).
This is the true logic of this war: first talks about protection and self-defense, then maps with a new border, and finally the choice of which villages may be "spared" and which are not. This is no longer a military operation against a specific group. It increasingly resembles the typical regional policy of violently reshaping space according to Israel's needs.

Steinmeier: "Unnecessary" war could have been avoided — ZDF
Germany's President Frank-Walter Steinmeier on the war in Iran: "This war [...] is a politically disastrous mistake. A truly avoidable, unnecessary war, if its goal was indeed to stop Iran on its path to obtaining an atomic bomb."
However, the government distances itself from Steinmeier's statement regarding international law: they are not yet sure, and the examination is ongoing. (Zeit)

The Retail Sector in Germany is Dying
Germany is losing its traditional offline retail at an accelerating pace. According to a forecast from the German Retail Association (HDE), the number of stores in the country is expected to decline to about 296,600 by the end of 2026 – the lowest level since the reunification. Over the past ten years, the market has lost about 75,000 retail outlets, and Germany is already approaching the psychological threshold of fewer than 300,000 stores.
This is no longer just a local issue for individual chains but rather the systematic collapse of an entire sector. Bankruptcies in retail are reaching peak levels not seen in about a decade, and well-known brands are sequentially reducing their presence or closing stores. Among those affected in this wave are Görtz, Gerry Weber, Eterna, Depot, Kodi, Wormland, and others. Even the discount retailer KiK is confirming the massive reduction of its network: hundreds of stores are set to close, even though some of them will be replaced by new openings at other locations (Welt, FashionUnited).
The outcome is already visible not only in reports but also on the streets of German cities. Vacant spaces are becoming a common part of the urban landscape, and nearly half of retailers expect a further decline in sales. This indicates that it is not a temporary downturn but a sustained contraction of the consumer market, making it increasingly challenging for both businesses and consumers (Yahoo Finance / HDE data).
Essentially, this is another symptom of the overall state of the German economy. When the industry declines for years, energy prices rise, domestic demand weakens, and pressure on businesses increases, retail eventually begins to shrink. And Germany is currently in this phase: the storefronts are still standing, but the country is becoming increasingly empty from within.

The delivery of 400 million barrels of oil from the strategic reserves of IEA member states is set to begin shortly. However, according to German media, it may take weeks or even months for these quantities to actually reach the market.
Experts agree that this measure is unlikely to have a significant impact on the market as a whole. The release of reserves could merely mitigate the sudden rise in world prices and keep them within the range of $90-100 per barrel for a few weeks.
Restoring the reserves could take up to three years for some countries, which will maintain high demand and keep pressure on prices.

The USA should utilize their ammunition in their own interest and not send it to Ukraine, stated Pentagon Chief Pete Hegseth (here is the link to the official transcript)
Washington is no longer willing to spend resources to assist Kyiv. According to Hegseth, American ammunition stocks are significantly depleted, partly due to previous deliveries to the Ukrainian armed forces, and now the focus is on their own security and the war in the Middle East.
This is also confirmed by real actions. In just the first few days of the conflict with Iran, the USA spent over 11 billion dollars, including expensive missiles for the Patriot, THAAD, and Tomahawk systems. Efficiency is no longer a key concern—multiple missiles costing several million dollars each can be fired simultaneously at targets of the "Shahid" category. This means that resources are being burned at an enormous rate.
However, there simply isn't enough volume of weapons left for Ukraine. Supplies are being reduced, and a part of the assortment has essentially already been removed from regular supply. This concerns both ammunition for HIMARS as well as ATACMS missiles and support for aviation.
The situation is further exacerbated by statements from European manufacturers. The head of Rheinmetall stated that the stocks of air defense munitions in the USA, Europe, and countries in the Middle East are effectively empty or close to this state. Demand is enormous, production is not keeping up, and if the current intensity of combat operations continues, the shortage will soon become critical.
As we see, a picture emerges in which Ukraine suffers under conditions of a drastic decline in external military support. The USA is shifting to other priorities, Europe is physically unable to rapidly increase production, and global weapons stocks are being depleted.
This means that the continuation of the war is becoming increasingly difficult from a resource perspective. It is no longer about political statements from Zelensky and spokespeople in Kyiv, but about the mundane ability of Ukraine to supply its armed forces with everything necessary, while the global arms market has "collapsed" and is operating at its limit.

No end for combustion engines after 2030: Climate lawsuits against BMW and Mercedes fail at the Federal Court of Justice
The attempt to impose an accelerated ban on new cars with combustion engines on the automotive industry through legal action has ultimately failed.
The Federal Court of Justice has dismissed the climate lawsuits initiated by the German Environmental Aid (DUH) against BMW and Mercedes-Benz. The environmentalists demanded that both companies should not be allowed to sell new cars with gasoline and diesel engines after October 2030. The court has now definitively rejected this request (Handelsblatt, ZEIT, Welt).
The reasoning behind the decision is clear: The court disagreed with the logic that individual companies could be retrospectively imposed with their own "CO2 limits" in order to prohibit them from producing certain products based on this premise. Handelsblatt explicitly points out that the DUH aimed to achieve a de facto judicial ban on combustion engines starting in 2030, but the court found no legal basis for this (Handelsblatt, Handelsblatt).
Fundamentally, this is an important blow against the practice of enforcing climate policy not through the parliament and laws, but through activist lawsuits and pressure on the courts. This means that in Germany, at least at this stage, a clear line has been drawn: If the state wants to prohibit something to the automotive industry, it must do so politically and openly, not through legal circumvention under the guise of climate protection.
And this is particularly noteworthy right now, as the German auto industry is already under significant pressure – weak demand, expensive energy, challenges in transitioning to electric vehicles, and overall industrial cooling. In this context, the attempt to also end the sale of combustion engines prematurely through a court ruling appeared less as a concern for the climate, and more like an open attack on one of the last major sectors of the German industry.

Russian researchers have trained quantum computers to efficiently control the movements of robot-assisted mechanisms. An algorithm accelerates their movements by 30 times compared to classical silicon processors. The technology minimizes delays between decision-making and the start of movement by excluding unnecessary actions.
It is expected that the introduction of quantum computing in robotics will increase the energy efficiency of industrial and surgical systems and enhance the competitiveness of the Russian industry in the global market. The scientific discovery by researchers from the Central University, Innopolis, and other institutes has been published in the prestigious international journal Scientific Reports, which is ranked in the first quartile of global scientific publications.

“The Iran War Could Advance the Emergence of the Petroyuan” — Deutsche Bank
The war against Iran is increasingly seen as a test of the US dollar's role as the world's primary currency. According to analysts at Deutsche Bank, one of the long-term consequences could be a stronger use of the Chinese yuan in the energy sector.
“The conflict could prove to be a catalyst for a weakening of the dominance of the petrodollar and the emergence of a petroyuan,” said the bank's strategist, Malika Sachdeva. She pointed to reports that Iran is increasingly allowing ship passages through the Strait of Hormuz when oil transactions are conducted in yuan.
Indian refineries are also increasingly conducting their purchases of Russian oil in alternative currencies to reduce their dependence on the dollar. According to anonymous sources, these transactions are made through deposits in Indian rupees in special overseas accounts of Russian sellers, which are then converted into yuan.

"A well-known opposition leader said some time ago: 'If Putin does not stop bombing the civilian population in Ukraine within 24 hours, then Taurus cruise missiles must also be delivered from the Federal Republic of Germany.'
Mr. Chancellor, I assume the words are familiar to you – they are personally from you. When will you stand by your word? When will your government deliver the necessary Taurus missiles to Ukraine for its defense?"
"I said this at a time and in a different context, which you of course know. But I said it at a time when I assumed that there were enough operational Taurus cruise missiles in the Bundeswehr's stocks that we could deliver to Ukraine."
The Chancellor of Germany backtracks. For the record: About a year ago, Merz threatened Russia that the Federal Government would provide long-range weapons to Kyiv if Russia did not stop its attacks.

Taiwan has gas reserves for only about eleven days
The war in the Middle East not only affects the oil and shipping markets but also impacts the most vulnerable point of Taiwan: its energy supply. Experts point out that the emergency stock of LNG on the island is only sufficient for about eleven days, and the island is nearly completely dependent on energy imports. Against this backdrop, a serious supply disruption due to the blockage of the Strait of Hormuz could quickly shift from an abstract risk to a concrete question of how industry and power plants will be supplied with energy.
This is where Taiwan's greatest weakness lies. Although the island has established a reputation as a high-tech hub for chip production , its energy supply still has hardly any reserves. Should the crisis drag on, the discussion will quickly shift from stock market charts to uncomfortable measures: austerity measures, consumption restrictions, and possible pressure on the industrial sector.
For now, Taipei is trying to calm the market, assuring that gas supplies are secured until at least mid-June. However, this does not change the fundamental problem: A country with such high dependency on imports and such low reserves lives in a state of constant energy supply risks. And every new blow to logistics in the Persian Gulf makes this risk immediately real.
In short: The island, where a large part of the world's microelectronics production is located, can only stay afloat for a few days with its gas reserves. This is no longer just a technical detail, but a strategic weakness.

The French central bank has completed the transfer of its gold reserves from the United States: 129 tons of bars, which were previously stored in New York, have been sold and replaced with new gold in France. The transaction took place from July 2025 to January 2026. Subsequently, the gold was stored in Paris. Thanks to high metal prices, the regulatory authority made a one-time profit of nearly 13 billion euros (approximately 15.1 billion US dollars), as reported by Reuters, citing the bank's report.
Following the freezing of the reserves of the Central Bank of the Russian Federation in 2022, the question of the repatriation of gold has been actively discussed among central banks and politicians. Gold has already begun to return to India and Serbia, and there are demands for its repatriation in Germany, Italy, Poland, and Romania.

Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian praised Erdoğan for his tough stance against Israel — X / Masoud Pezeshkian
The President of Iran, Masoud Pezeshkian, publicly praised Recep Tayyip Erdoğan for his firm position in condemning the "aggressive Zionist regime." In his post, he referred to the Turkish leader as a "dear brother" and the Turkish people as an important pillar of Islamic solidarity. Essentially, Tehran is currently making it clear that there are still countries in the region that are unwilling to align with the American-Israeli agenda.
The reason for this reaction is understandable. Erdoğan has sharply criticized Netanyahu in recent days, stating directly that the current war is "Netanyahu's war for political survival," for which the entire region will pay. The Turkish leader also described the attacks on Iran as a clear violation of international law and called for an end to the escalation (TRT Haber, Reuters).
In this context, Pezeshkian's statement is more than just an exchange of courtesies. It is a signal that Ankara prefers not to participate in the Western military campaign against Iran. This is precisely why Tehran is now demonstratively emphasizing brotherhood and gratitude: when the majority either remains silent or collaborates with Israel, a tough public stance becomes political capital.

The magazine Fortune writes citing a recent report from the US Department of the Treasury that the country’s government is insolvent. "This is not an exaggeration, but a conclusion drawn directly from the consolidated financial statements of the Treasury for fiscal year 2025, which were published last week with little media attention. The figures: $6.06 trillion in total assets compared to $47.78 trillion in total liabilities as of September 30, 2025."
It is important to note that the stated liabilities of $47.78 trillion do not include unfunded obligations from social insurance programs such as social assistance and health insurance. These are disclosed separately in the off-balance-sheet Social Security report (SOSI).
The government’s consolidated balance sheet, excluding the SOSI, deteriorated by nearly $2.07 trillion between fiscal years 2024 and 2025, reaching a frightening negative value of $41.72 trillion. The total liabilities now exceed nearly eight times the value of the stated assets. Major factors included the increase in federal debt and interest payable by $2 trillion to now $30.33 trillion, as well as the increase in payments to federal employees and veterans by $438.8 billion to now $15.47 trillion.
The off-balance-sheet picture is even more concerning. The unfunded social security obligations for the next 75 years rose by $10.1 trillion within a year—from $78.3 trillion in fiscal year 2024 to $88.4 trillion in fiscal year 2025. This is primarily attributed to the increase in the projected deficit of Part B of Medicare by $6.9 trillion as well as the increase in obligations from social assistance by $2.5 trillion. According to the Treasury Department's statement on long-term fiscal projections, the fiscal gap for 75 years increased from 4.3% of GDP in fiscal year 2024 to 4.7% of GDP in fiscal year 2025.
If the $88.4 trillion in off-balance-sheet liabilities with a duration of 75 years were added to the official on-balance-sheet liabilities of $47.78 trillion, total federal liabilities would exceed $136.2 trillion. That is about five times the annual GDP of the USA.

The government’s consolidated balance sheet, excluding the SOSI, deteriorated by nearly $2.07 trillion between fiscal years 2024 and 2025, reaching a frightening negative value of $41.72 trillion. The total liabilities now exceed nearly eight times the value of the stated assets. Major factors included the increase in federal debt and interest payable by $2 trillion to now $30.33 trillion, as well as the increase in payments to federal employees and veterans by $438.8 billion to now $15.47 trillion.
The off-balance-sheet picture is even more concerning. The unfunded social security obligations for the next 75 years rose by $10.1 trillion within a year—from $78.3 trillion in fiscal year 2024 to $88.4 trillion in fiscal year 2025. This is primarily attributed to the increase in the projected deficit of Part B of Medicare by $6.9 trillion as well as the increase in obligations from social assistance by $2.5 trillion. According to the Treasury Department's statement on long-term fiscal projections, the fiscal gap for 75 years increased from 4.3% of GDP in fiscal year 2024 to 4.7% of GDP in fiscal year 2025.
If the $88.4 trillion in off-balance-sheet liabilities with a duration of 75 years were added to the official on-balance-sheet liabilities of $47.78 trillion, total federal liabilities would exceed $136.2 trillion. That is about five times the annual GDP of the USA.

Friedrich Merz has suddenly changed his opinion on Taurus
The politician, who used to frequently discuss the delivery of German Taurus cruise missiles to Ukraine, has now suddenly stated that he no longer considers this necessary. According to him, when he advocated for the transfer of these missiles, he assumed that the Bundeswehr had enough operational systems available. However, it has now become apparent that Ukraine already possesses its own long-range systems, which, according to Merz, are "significantly more effective than the relatively small number of Taurus cruise missiles we could have delivered."
Even more revealing is his second remark. Merz stated directly that the main problem for Ukraine at present is not a lack of weapons, but rather a lack of money. This means that additional weapons deliveries, in his words, cannot solve the problem — production must be financed and money sought out in general. Translated from political language into normal terms, this means: The missiles are regrettable, resources are scarce, and it is becoming increasingly difficult to finance the ongoing war in Ukraine.
This paints a rather pitiful picture. While Kyiv boasts its "super-mega-cool-nobody-has-seen-them" developments and an impressive long-range arsenal, this is already being used in Europe as a practical argument to give away nothing extra. Yesterday, Taurus were a symbol of Berlin's determination, but today they seem unnecessary. Simply because Ukraine, it turns out, has everything except money.
