On 3 July, Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk warned that “the coming months could truly be critical” for European security. This warning reflects a broader assessment taking shape across Europe as Russia intensifies pressure on Ukraine and NATO accelerates its rearmament efforts. In this regard, European governments increasingly believe they are entering one of the most sensitive periods for the continent since 2022. The coming months could indeed be critical.

China’s Strategic Petroleum Reserve (SPR) was established in March 2004, with the aim of constructing China’s first oil base to protect the country’s energy security. Since then, China’s SPR has evolved from a small coastal network into a nationwide system of large-scale storage facilities combining central government, commercial and provincial reserves.

In other words, China’s SPR could evolve from…

Space constitutes an indispensable whole-ofgovernment resource whose importance goes far beyond civilian applications. To military operations, in fact, it is crucial. A “day without space” – i.e. a day without space-based services – would have a massive impact on the government, the economy and society. Without satellites and their services, systems for navigation, communication and the power supply, among others, would collapse. This would greatly impair the military’s capacity to act and exercise command and control. In the face of growing threats and ever-evolving technology, the Bundeswehr must focus on becoming fit for the future and capable of mastering the…

Many around the world were captivated by the 2026 World Cup Finals, but not everyone is a Soccer enthusiast, to use the more domestic phrasing.

Spain was able to best Argentina 1-0 in extra time, and the UFC middleweight champion took a screenshot of the action during that overtime period. By way of his personal Instagram story, the two-time titleholder at 185 pounds posted text over top of his screenshot, as Strickland succinctly said, “This sport…
