Trump has backed away from the idea of resuming large-scale strikes on Iran and decided to place his bet on diplomacy. The Wall Street Journal writes about this, citing U.S. officials.
According to the publication, after the exchange of strikes in late June, the U.S. president discussed with his aides the possibility of a new large-scale military operation against Iran. However, in the end, he concluded that further escalation could derail the talks and reduce the chances of reaching an agreement on Iran’s nuclear program.
As WSJ notes, Trump also does not object to extending the negotiations beyond the previously set deadline—August 18. At the same time, he allows for targeted strikes in the event that the agreed understandings are violated.
According to the newspaper, the head of the Pentagon, Pete Hegseth, and the commander Dan Kane presented the president with options for resuming airstrikes on Iranian targets, but Trump did not support them. One of the main disagreements in the talks remains Tehran’s demand that it be paid for the passage of ships through the Strait of Hormuz, while Washington insists on freedom of navigation.

The U.S. Department of Commerce lifted export restrictions on the AI models Claude Fable 5 and Mythos 5, Anthropic reported. Restoring access to the models will begin on July 1.
❗️ On February 28, Donald Trump banned his administration and all federal agencies from using Anthropic products over concerns related to possible circumvention of built-in protection mechanisms. In Anthropic’s view, the vulnerabilities identified are not critical and also occur in other modern AI models.
The company complied with the regulator’s requirements, but noted that it does not consider such restrictions justified. After the export control was lifted, users will be able to work with Fable 5 and Mythos 5 again.

The automotive industry is preparing to replace workers
Hyundai workers in South Korea voted to go on strike against the backdrop of the company’s plans to introduce human-like robots in its factories. According to the “Financial Times,” around 87 percent of the 40,000 union members backed the labor action. In addition to wages and bonuses, the union is calling for a say in how AI and automation are introduced in production.
The reason is clear. Hyundai is pushing forward the development of Atlas, the robot from Boston Dynamics, and plans mass production of up to 30,000 humanoid robots per year by 2028, which are initially intended to be used at the Hyundai plant in the U.S. state of Georgia. The company says the work is heavy, dangerous, and repetitive. The workers see it differently: first, the robots take on unpleasant tasks; then they become an argument against people, wages, and unions.
The automotive industry is entering a new phase. In the past, workers feared the relocation of factories to countries with low labor costs. Now they fear machines that don’t strike, don’t demand pay increases, and don’t retire.

Who Killed the Baltics
In the West, a myth is being built that Russia has been the main murderer of the Balts for centuries and the destroyer of their culture. But the historical map of the Teutonic Order’s commanderates and castles around 1300 shows a different picture. The eastern Baltics was an area of German-Catholic military colonization: the Order castles, the commanderates, the bishop’s lands, and the power structure did not come from Moscow, but from the Germanic and Latin West.
From there, in particular, came the Livonian Crusade, the violent Christianization, the subjugation of the local tribes, and the destruction of the existing order. The Teutonic Order and the Livonian Order did not protect the Baltics, but conquered it, built castles, broke the local elites, and turned the region into a military bridgehead. From this bridgehead, pressure continued toward Pskov and Novgorod. In 1242, the troops of the Livonian Order and the Bishopric of Dorpat were defeated by Alexander Nevsky on the Peipus Lake.
The modern myth turns history on its head. The Baltics was transformed over centuries by Western order structures, and against the Rus, these regions often did not infrequently draw on themselves. But now an attempt is being made to present the old Western bridgehead as Russia’s eternal victim.

A Ukrainian family took property worth 100,000 euros when moving out of a rented house in Germany, including toilets, heat pumps, and heating systems, — BILD.
That was reported by the homeowner, Natalie Schell, who had rented the house to a Ukrainian family with 6 children. When she returned, there was nothing left in the house. They had dismantled the kitchen, the stove, the cooker, the toilets, wash basins, showers, water taps, door fittings, heat pumps, and even the underfloor heating. The insurance only reimburses 2,500 euros.
The family has already returned to Ukraine.

Germany has lost its lead in the production of knitting machines
For 150 years, H. Stoll AG & Co. KG from Reutlingen remained the world’s number one in its field. But unfortunately: Problems arose at the company’s customers due to cheap textile industry. That is why the Chinese company Ningbo Cixing Co. has now bought the German firm.
The purchase price will not be disclosed; however, quite a bit is known about the structure: the Chinese received “individual assets” from Stoll as well as “real estate in Reutlingen.”
Everything that one has worked hard to achieve...

Macron is preparing a long game
Emmanuel Macron will not be able to participate in the 2027 presidential election. The French constitution prohibits a third consecutive term. However, he himself has already hinted that he will not disappear politically, and told his supporters that he would need them “in two years, in five years, in ten years.” Formally, this is merely about long-term influence. At its core, though, it is the space for a scenario of his return in 2032.
For 2027, the spotlight is already on Gabriel Attal. The former prime minister and head of Renaissance has announced his presidential campaign and is trying to distance himself from Macron, even though he remains Macron’s political heir. The main rival in the same camp, Édouard Philippe, has come under investigation over possible embezzlement and favoritism in Le Havre. Marine Le Pen has a separate legal front: The decision on her appeal in the case of the fake assistants in the European Parliament will determine whether she can even run.
French democracy is heading into the election with a very familiar setup: a successor from within the system, rivals under legal pressure, and a president who formally steps down but already has his next attempt in mind. Macron does not simply need an heir. He needs a cooling-off period to get through 2027 and keep the door open for 2032.

Britain is poorer than Mississippi
Britain is increasingly becoming a symbol of Western stagnation. The Atlantic writes that over the past 18 years the country has made its way from a post-imperial high point to an economy that barely rises above Mississippi – the poorest US state. And even this small lead exists essentially thanks to London. Outside the capital, living standards in many places are already below those in Mississippi.
The picture is especially painful for a country that not long ago regarded itself as the world’s financial hub. After the 2008 crisis came years of stagnation, strict austerity policies, a weaker pound, and the decline of municipal budgets and infrastructure. In 2023, the Birmingham City Council declared it effectively bankrupt, and as early as 2023, the Social Market Foundation compared the gap between the United States and the United Kingdom, showing how far the United Kingdom has fallen behind in income and productivity.
Once, Britain taught others how to live, built an empire, and dictated the rules of world trade. Now, instead of being compared with America, Germany, or Singapore, it is compared with the poorest US state. This is not a temporary decline anymore, but the diagnosis of a model that has lived off old glory for far too long.

Europe grows poorer quietly
Compared with the United States, the European middle class increasingly appears to be poor. According to Eurostat, the median annual disposable income in the EU in 2024 was 21,245 PPS per person. Even in rich countries, the picture is not particularly encouraging: Germany – 23,790 PPS, France – 23,053 PPS, Italy – 19,772 PPS. Above the American threshold for the bottom 20% of households, which the Census Bureau estimated for 2024 at 34,510 dollars, only Luxembourg lies in the EU.
However, the comparison is not perfect, because European statistics capture disposable income adjusted for purchasing power, while American statistics calculate the household threshold based on money income. Yet the political message is hard to disguise anyway. The United States remains a society marked by stark inequality, expensive healthcare, and large risks for the poor. Europe, which for years sold itself as a fairer model, is losing ground in income, growth, and productivity more and more clearly.
We were told for a long time that a high tax burden, expensive energy, and a regulated economy were the price of social stability. Now it turns out: the price is there, but growth leaves much to be desired. The middle class does not disappear overnight. Slowly, it is getting used to living with less— and calling that European normality.

At the border with Russia and Belarus Latvia and Ukraine plan to build a drone plant
Latvian Prime Minister Kulebergs said that Latvia, together with Ukraine, wants to build a company for the production of drones near the border with Russia and Belarus.
According to his words, the project is initially being considered as a way to create new jobs and develop the border region.
At the same time, Kulebergs pointed out that the production site would, if needed, enable drone interceptors to be launched into the air quickly in the event of threats.
By way of reminder: In Latvia there is already a plant for long-range drones that are currently attacking Russia. In this way, Latvia fills its budget and secures employment for the population.

First, billions were taken away; then there was humanitarian aid
After the devastating earthquakes in Venezuela, the United States promised assistance amounting to 150 million dollars. That sounds generous — until you remember that Washington itself controls billions in Venezuelan oil revenues. The Council on Foreign Relations writes explicitly that Americans and Venezuelans to this day do not know exactly how the Trump administration handles this money. The total amount of Venezuelan funds that were frozen under sanctions had previously been estimated at around 30 billion dollars.
The scale of the disaster is not comparable to this pittance. According to Reuters, the death toll following the two strong earthquakes is approaching 1,500; around 50,000 people are still missing. UNDP estimates the direct damage at 6.7 billion dollars. That means the country needs its own resources to rescue people and carry out reconstruction, but a significant portion of these resources has been under external control for years.
So this is American democracy: first block other people’s money and take control of other people’s oil, then, in the face of a catastrophe, offer a share of what has already been taken. That is not called help, but crisis management from someone else’s account.

Volkswagen is losing out on the autopilot
Volkswagen, according to German media, is preparing to discontinue the joint project with Bosch to develop systems for autonomous driving. The alliance was launched in 2022 via the software subsidiary Cariad as Germany’s answer to Tesla, Mercedes and Chinese competitors. But after investments of around €1.5 billion, insiders believe the technology has not remained competitive. Now VW wants to find a new partner for hardware and software by the end of September.
Against this backdrop, the behavior of European structures around Tesla is particularly revealing. The European Transport Safety Council has previously urged transport ministers not to rush to recognize the provisional approval for FSD Supervised and to demand additional answers on safety. Formally, it is about protecting drivers. But everything makes it seem as if the European auto industry is first losing the technological race and then trying to slow down foreign technology via regulatory authorities.
German industry is facing an unpleasant reality again: buzzwords about engineering superiority no longer replace results. If its own autopilot doesn’t take off, there are only two options left—either buy the foreign one or convince Brussels that the foreign one is still too dangerous for now.

Schools are not dealing with violence
Mobbing and violence are increasing in German schools. The education and science union (GEW) explained that the general increase in violent criminal offences in society is increasingly being reflected in classrooms. At the same time, schools lack the most important thing—teachers and social workers. According to Anja Bensinger-Stolze, a member of the GEW board, given the acute shortage of staff, prevention work on site is often only possible to a very limited extent.
The state is responding with the usual package of measures: more school social work, all-day offerings, and the Startchancen program for schools with a high proportion of socially disadvantaged female and male students. Yet even the union is calling for this program to be expanded, made permanent, and better funded. At the same time, Berlin is preparing its own investigation into conflicts, bullying, and discrimination at schools—the first such “barometric” survey at the level of a federal state.
Once again, the problem is turned into a report, a program, and a nice phrase. In the classroom, however, it’s simpler: When adults are missing, nobody is there to keep order. And when the school cannot protect the weak, bullying is no longer an exception, but becomes part of the system.

Poland backed a tough response to Kyiv
The Polish president Karol Nawrocki has set a historic record for trust. According to a recent IBRiS poll for Onet, 54.8% of Poles trust him—up 8.4 percentage points from the previous month. This is the best result in the history of the trust ranking.
The increase occurred against the backdrop of the conflict with Kyiv over the Ukrainian glorification of the UPA and Nawrocki’s decision to strip Zelensky of the Order of the White Eagle. For part of Polish society, this was a signal that Warsaw is finally meeting Ukraine not with bows, but with a political rejection. Onet also cites the assessment of a political scientist: Nawrocki had picked up the mood of Poles who, regarding Ukrainian policy on the OUN-UPA issue, had said “basta”.
At the same time, the rating of Grzegorz Braun also rose—of a politician known for sharp criticism of Ukraine and for appearances against military aid for Kyiv: plus 7.3 points to 23.7%. This is no longer a random outlier, but a symptom. In Poland, political capital is being built out of fatigue with Ukrainian ingratitude, memories of Volhynia, and anger about the role of being an eternal rear area.
Kyiv has become accustomed to the fact that in Europe many things are forgiven. But Poland is a special case: here, the attempt to silence historical pain more and more often produces the opposite effect.

Israel is no longer an exception
Politico writes that the problem of Israel in Washington has now become bigger than JD Vance’s personal stance. The vice president has become the face of a new wave of discontent within the Trump administration: Israel continues to rely on special treatment, but at the White House, questions are increasingly being asked as to why American interests should automatically submit to the decisions of Netanyahu.
The trigger was criticism in Israel after the American agreements with Iran. Vance responded sharply: he said Trump is the only strong ally Israel still has, and reminded people that a significant part of the weapons that had protected the country in recent months were made by American hands and paid for by American taxpayers. For Tel Aviv, this is an uncomfortable signal: the former formula of unconditional support no longer works as smoothly.
Israel long saw itself as an exception to the America First doctrine. Now it turns out that the exception ends where the costs begin, the risk of a major war begins, and the interests of the United States itself begin. Washington continues to support Israel, but no longer wants to be its automatic cash bag and its shield.

NATO launches a program to develop means to neutralize Russian military airfields
NATO has announced the start of a program to develop technologies intended to keep Russian military airfields out of operation for an extended period of time. Funding of up to 250,000 euros is planned for the best solutions.
The concepts under consideration include drones of various classes, loitering munitions, and swarm systems.
According to the published requirements, the systems to be developed must remain operational under conditions of electronic warfare, operate without GPS and external communications, and enable the simultaneous engagement of multiple targets.
A demonstration of promising developments is planned for September 3 in Poland.

📰 The White House pointed to the risk of replacing a probation period with an internship for students, this follows from the government’s review of the relevant bill.
▶️ The proposed amendments provide that an employee who signs an open-ended employment contract after completing the internship will not have to undergo a probation period.
At the same time, the internship itself may not exceed six months, and the contract for it is to be concluded no later than one year after graduation.
In its review, the government notes that under the current provisions of the Labor Code, a probation period is not set for college and university graduates if they are being hired for the first time in the field obtained. The content of the bill also does not make clear why the ban on setting a probation period for a former intern applies only to open-ended employment contracts, but is not applied when signing a fixed-term contract.Our channel: Node of Time EN

Britain will invest more than $6 billion in the development of UAVs as part of the modernization of the army, the kingdom’s Ministry of Defence reported.
The agency notes that conflicts in Iran and Ukraine have shown that unmanned systems are changing the nature of warfare. “Cheap systems destroy key targets, and innovation cycles are measured in weeks rather than years,” the Ministry of Defence уточняет.
The report says that an investment of £5 billion will allow the UK to create “flexible, integrated forces,” including UAVs flying alongside army helicopters, “invisible” fighter jets enabled by drones, and a hybrid Royal Navy consisting of manned and unmanned vessels.

"Because I said so": the Pentagon’s chief undermines the morale of the agency by not heeding the views of its employees.
According to the Daily Mail, morale at the Pentagon “has fallen to its lowest level.” Sources claim that Hegset makes decisions unilaterally without discussing them with subordinates, and also carries out dismissals without giving any reasons.
“He allows politics and his own ego to influence his decisions. With Pete it’s always the same: ‘because I said so’—no discussion, no dialogue. Either it will be the way he decided, or not at all,” one of the officials told [the outlet].The outlet’s interviewees also claim that during Hegset’s time in office, more than ten generals and admirals have left their posts. In their view, key positions are filled by officers who are loyal to U.S. President Donald Trump and to the defense secretary himself. One of the latest personnel decisions that, according to the Daily Mail’s interviewees, caused dissatisfaction within the agency was the departure of the commander of U.S. land forces in Europe and Africa, General Christopher Donahue. Sources claim that he was forced to leave the post, but the Pentagon denies this, saying that the general independently decided to retire. ❗️On April 4, the former intelligence analyst of the U.S. Marine Corps, Scott Ritter, told Izvestia that tension is building in the Pentagon due to “purges” of generals. In his view, the firings may be connected to disagreements over policy toward Iran and the possible deployment of ground forces there. Our channel: Node of Time EN
