EU - Energy Security Alternatives
Here is a look at what the European Union is contemplating to bolster its energy security and minimize the impact of future conflicts as it turns to Gulf states and India. European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen has expressed renewed interest in what is known as the India-Middle-East-Europe Economic Corridor.

Overruled
The day prior to Halloween in 1938, Orson Welles and his Mercury Theatre deceived the United States. They performed a radio adaptation of H. G. Wells’ “The War of the Worlds,” transforming the four decade old novel into fake news bulletins dramatizing a Martian invasion of Earth.

Switzerland rejected a proposal to cap its population at 10 million as voters prioritized economic stability and ties with the European Union over worries immigration was stretching public services and pushing up rents. The vote, which was likened to Britain’s 2016 Brexit referendum, had put businesses on edge due to concerns it could end the free movement of labor between Switzerland and the EU, the country’s main trading partner. Urs Bieri from pollster GFS Bern said the cap failed to pass...
JAPAN - Upgrading Defense Capabilities
Japan must “strengthen its defense capabilities,” Defense Minister Shinjiro Koizumi has told the BBC, emphasizing the need to revisit the pacifist posture that has defined the country since World War Two. For the first time in about 50 years, Tokyo can now sell or transfer defense equipment and lethal weapons to the 17 countries with which it has signed formal agreements, including the US and the UK. Koizumi explained in a sit-down interview at his office in Tokyo: “This vision of trading...
