France has rejected NATO’s new U.S.-led initiative to fund American weapons for Ukraine, dealing a blow to Trump’s arms plan. President Macron insists Europe must reduce dependency and prioritize its own defense industry. French officials cite budget constraints and strategic autonomy as key reasons. The move deepens a rift within NATO, with the Czech Republic and Hungary also opting out. Germany, however, backs the plan, warning that only U.S. supplies can meet Ukraine’s urgent battlefield needs against Russia’s continued offensive.

The U.S. Supreme Court has allowed the Trump administration to end Temporary Protected Status (TPS) for over 350,000 Venezuelans, stripping legal protections granted during the 2021 humanitarian crisis. Issuing a brief order with no explanation, the Court sided with Trump’s argument that immigration policy falls under executive authority. Only Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson dissented. The ruling could have immediate humanitarian and economic impacts. Immigration advocates call it one of the largest legal status removals in modern U.S. history.

With World War 3 fears looming and nuclear tensions rising, just 9 nations possess nuclear weapons—led by Russia (5,449) and the U.S. (5,277). China, India, Pakistan, and others follow far behind. While 7 countries have officially declared their arsenals, Israel and North Korea remain ambiguous. Over 12,000 nuclear warheads exist today, a stark drop from Cold War highs, yet each bomb holds devastating potential. As deterrence theory dominates global policy, growing voices now demand complete nuclear disarmament to save humanity.

The prime minister says he will make the UK a “battle-ready nation”, whilst Defence Secretary John Healey has pledged to “create a British Army that is 10 times more lethal”, as the Strategic Defence Review is published. The government aims to spend 3% of GDP on defence by 2034, although the Treasury has not yet guaranteed to fund it, and some of the UK’s Nato allies say it is not enough. Report by Jonesia.

China has lashed out at U.S. Defence Secretary Pete Hegseth following his remarks at the Shangri-La Dialogue in Singapore, where he warned that China could imminently use military force against Taiwan. Beijing condemned the speech as provocative and divisive, accusing Hegseth of inciting bloc confrontation and pushing a Cold War mentality. China's foreign ministry dismissed the U.S. accusations as defamatory and asserted that only Washington deserved the label of a hegemonic power. The fiery exchange underscores growing regional tensions over Taiwan and the Indo-Pacific power balance.

Protesters waved Palestinian flags, chanted “Free, free Palestine,” and held signs reading “Stop Arming Israel” and “Wanted: Netanyahu.” With Gaza's death toll soaring past 57,000, demonstrators condemned U.S. support for Israel’s military campaign.
