The Federalist: Plan To End Ukraine War Should Have Happened 3 Years Ago
President Trump is pushing to end the war in Ukraine, initiating peace talks with Russia. The conflict has resulted in over a million casualties and a costly stalemate, with the U.S. investing $175 billion to support Ukraine. Critics argue Trump's approach undermines U.S. alliances.
Support for the war has been politically motivated, with no clear definition of "victory." Trump suggests a peace settlement that recognizes Russia's 2014 territorial gains while ensuring Ukraine's independence. This would allow the U.S. to refocus on its primary strategic threat: China.

GB News: 'Defence of the realm should be Labour's first duty,' says Jacob Rees-Mogg
Defence spending in the UK needs to increase, but funding must come from reallocating existing budgets rather than raising taxes. Proposed cuts include redirecting overseas aid, reducing civil service costs, freezing certain welfare increases, and eliminating costly green initiatives.
The argument emphasizes that the UK can no longer rely on the US for security and must prioritize its own defence. By making tough financial choices, the UK could potentially free up at least £20 billion for the Ministry of Defence.

GB News: Justice system pushed to 'brink of collapse' by knee-jerk sentencing reform

Forbes: What Happens If Asteroid 2024 YR4 Strikes Earth — And Why We Can’t ‘Nuke’ It

While NASA's DART mission successfully tested asteroid deflection, using a nuclear bomb is deemed risky and ineffective. Concerns include the unpredictability of breaking the asteroid into smaller pieces and the political implications of nuclear deployment.
