The Telegraph: How Trump blew a hole in Britain’s defence plans
As Donald Trump eyes a potential return to the White House, European leaders are questioning his commitment to NATO. Trump has emphasized that member countries must meet a 2% GDP defense spending threshold to secure U.S. protection, potentially raising it to 3%.
In response, European governments are increasing defense budgets to align with these expectations. French President Macron and German Chancellor Scholz advocate for a more unified Europe, while the UK faces challenges in meeting its own defense spending commitments amid financial constraints.

The Telegraph: Wagner’s failures shake Africa’s faith in Putin’s promises
In September, attacks in Mali's capital highlighted the failures of the ruling junta and its security partner, Russia's Wagner group. Gunmen targeted the airport and a gendarmerie academy, resulting in approximately 100 deaths, mainly among police recruits.
These assaults raised questions about the effectiveness of Wagner's assurances to improve security, especially after the junta came to power amid public discontent over prior government responses to Islamist violence.

Liberty Nation News: Hey, DOGE, Why Is Washington Subsidizing Drama Degrees? - Liberty Nation News
Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy's Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) is investigating wasteful spending, particularly in higher education. The Biden administration's income-driven repayment plan, "Saving on a Valuable Education," faces legal challenges and may continue to subsidize degrees that yield low returns, such as fine arts, while neglecting fields like engineering.
This system encourages students to pursue less practical degrees, leading to increased student debt and inflated tuition costs. Critics argue that this creates a moral hazard, incentivizing reliance on government support rather than fostering economic contribution. The ultimate beneficiaries appear to be universities and politicians, while students may miss out on the value of hard work and responsibility.
