World News
Russia-Ukraine War
Ongoing Conflict (2022–Present): Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine in February 2022 continues with high-intensity fighting, significant casualties, and extensive destruction across Ukraine.
Diplomatic Developments:
- In March 2025, the London Summit, led by UK PM Keir Starmer, launched a “coalition of the willing” among European partners to support Ukraine with security guarantees and defense investments.
Alaska Summit August 2025
The summit in which the two worlds leaders Trump and Putin was largely a photo op , with no major breakthrough coming from the meeting. Putin seemed content to exclude Zelensky, whereas Trump seemed to indicate Ukraine would indeed need to be involved next time. The discussions centered more on a peace resolution than a ceasefire.
Middle East Tensions
Palestine is very much a disaster zone and there has been rhetoric from both Israel and the US in taking over the strip. Famine has been declared and humanitarian aid delivery remains challenging.
In the intense exchange between Israel and Iran, Iran has had its nuclear program seriously set back and it’s military capacity too has taken heavy hits.
Iran continues to work with Europe on a nuclear deal and this would be in the interests of global peace.

A New Social Housing Initiative is needed for Europe- Rent caps
While Europe has been disproportionately taking its humanitarian share asylum seekers, this has caused a heavy deficit in affordable accommodation and essential services in Europe. I encourage States to firstly ensure it can adequately house and provide these services to its citizens before taking in asylum seekers.
The in a social Europe, I don’t see a justification for having rents about 500 euro for a single unit or 800 euro for a family unit.
States need to take a in depth look at corporation, foreign owned and fund owned property in the different European States. The profiting of foreign and domestic funds or even landlords at the expense of a costly social burden is both immoral and unjust .
European Measures to quickly counter Inflation
I have a number of proposals to create better living conditions and quickly counter inflation in the Eurozone area.
- Tax all second properties ,reduce and eliminate all tax breaks for investment properties and have a incremental scale of tax for multiple properties.
- Increase the banking reserve rate,the amount of cash banks need to hold, increase the basal requirements for banks to secure their depositors and drastically reduce if not eliminate the fractional reserve policy.
- Immediately reduce the amount of EU buying of sovereign government debt to discourage increased debt in the Eurozone.
European People’s crisis
While European countries are obliged under the EU asylum pact to take their fair share of asylum seekers and provide the necessary housing and social benefits, we once again outline that the same benefits aren’t always provided to citizens of the same States. Hence,it would be productive to make sure these are available to all citizens to alleviate tensions between asylum seekers and citizens and to diffuse tensions in many European countries.
Furthermore, with the rise of far-right parties in Europe, the danger is to increase the rich-poor gap in many countries. Migrants are already largely settled in lower to lower-middle class parts of society rather than in expensive plush suburbs. This is causing tensions in communities.
Suggestion for Europe moving forward with the current security threats within and outside.
Europe, member states, and the commission is wise to step up defense spending. The commission promising in the region of 1 trillion Euro.
The asylum process ,while as Europeans we have great humanitarian sympathy unlike many third nations,needs a temporary pause for 6 months.
The EU commission would be wise to put an immediate pause on asylum.for 6 months. EU countries need time to deal with domestic issues,housing, internal crime, registering all past entrants and increasing military spending.
Japan and South Korea are also parties to the Geneva conventions and international asylum law but only grant a fraction of successful applications a year; whereas Europe grants hundreds of thousands of applications, a stark contrast.
Hungary a Strong leader in Europe.
The prime minister of Hungary needs to be lauded for his progressive fight against migration in Europe, preservation of European traditional values and fighting the fight that has been launched against European cultures, values and the soul of Europe. Budapest is one of the safer European capitals at this moment. Instead of seeing his State as an outlier , one needs to embrace his leadership and direction if it were an example for the rest of Europe.
Greece
An unparalleled history, birthplace of great human thinkers , a language so rich in meaning and history. A passionate people that has not forgotten it’s nationalistic nor its patriotic spirit. A country remaining strong at heart due to past adversaries. REcently Greece announced a 3 month suspension of new asylum applications; I alluded to this 6 months ago that many States are overwhelmed. Europe needs to be proactive of States needs not punitive.
Italy ( an unparalleled history but today ? )
Italy like most other European nations suffers from past mistakes and policy. The neglect of a fair social system , a housing problem, a migration policy that isn’t working as many new arrivals have little interest in Italy’s history,culture,language and values. Then it is not ready for conflict as there is no military conscription. Don’t get me wrong ,I’m very found of this country and it’s people,language and culture but just not the direction it is going. Italy has an emigration drain of young Italian educated talent and is replacing these highly educated Europeans with immigrants with less education and completely different cultural values and of an entirely different heritage . that may never embrace European heritage and culture, first, second or third generation.
Moving the EU Institutions South
Europe is in many ways aiming for a new beginning. Marked by some slow changes in policy shift and the newly adopted defense spending by NATO states in Europe. In many ways ancient Europe was centered around the Mediterranean countries north Of Africa. There needs to be a shift from Brussels, Luxembourg and Strasbourg. These are mostly viewed as cold ,bureaucratical, cement blocks by the average European citizen. While there are various possibilities, it seems to me at this time, more ideally would be to recenter in Athens, Rome and Malta. They would be of similar proximity to Luxembourg, Brussels and Strasbourg. The languages of Greek , Italian and English alongside German and French are fundamental to recreating Europe. The location is also more world centered around international conflicts and the newbuilding can be built alongside the great architecture of European past.
Bitcoin, crypto currencies., especially Gold, Silver and big tech are all at record or near-time record highs. Despite inflation no longer making headlines in 2025, inflation continues to run , fiat currencies losing their value and the rich-poor gap in societies escalating.
US Congress Foreign aid Package
The US Congress recently passed a roughly 90 billion dollar aid package for essentially military spending that included some humanitarian spending. The package sought to bolster defenses in the Ukraine,Israel and the China Sea region. We think again this spending will result in inflation in the US economy.
EU Anti-Inflationary purposals
To counter inflation in the Eurozone a number of measures need to be undertaken.
Firstly, an increase in the banking reserve rate the percentage of cash banks need to hold.
Secondly, we would encourage a tightening of the banking fractional reserve system and an update to the Basal banking accords. Ultimately dramatically limiting the banking lending policy with the aim of securing the banking system ,limiting false profits to banki
2025 Business Updates
Both bitcoin and gold have traded higher than ever. I do an extensive analysis of the markets, looking at value, political stability , macro and micro economic conditions and geopolitical stability. Gold is going higher based on its store of value, whereas bitcoin is falsely perceived as digital gold, reaching record prices in 2025.
