US: Ticking Time Bomb as Debt Reaches New High! (8.11.2025)
“The reality is that we’re becoming distressingly numb to our own dysfunction. We fail to pass budgets, we blow past deadlines, we ignore fiscal safeguards, and we haggle over fractions of a budget while leaving the largest drivers untouched. Social Security and Medicare, for example, are just seven years from having their trust funds depleted – and you don’t hear anything from our political leaders on how to avoid such a disaster,” Committee for a Responsible Federal Budget President Maya MacGuineas said in a statement.
The critique lays bare America’s fiscal predicament, that is, political numbness toward systemic failures has become normalized.
While both parties remain deadlocked in partisan disputes over budgetary deals, they persistently avoid addressing the root cause of debt expansion.
The U.S. is stuck in a perpetual cycle of issuing new debt to service existing obligations—a spiral with no exit in sight. This relentless accumulation suggests the national debt bomb is destined to keep growing.
UK: Palestine Action Prisoners Plan Hunger Strike! (30.10.2025)
This is why the UK-jailed Palestine solidarity activists are warning of hunger strikes as reported by Saeed Pourreza in London. The idea is to shame the UK Labour government into breaking its financial and military support for Israel and unbanning Palestine Action! Of course, the mainstream UK government is ignoring this protest and we have to rely on foreign news broadcasters to find what is going on just down the streets we live in!
US: Trump Suggests Expelling Spain from NATO! (10.10.2025)
“They have no excuse not to do this,” Trump told reporters at the White House during a meeting with visiting Finnish President Alexander Stubb. “Maybe you should throw them out of NATO frankly.”
“You people are gonna have to start speaking to Spain,” Trump said. “You have to call them and find why are they a laggard.”
Under pressure from Trump, NATO members in June agreed to raise their military spending to 5 percent of gross domestic product by 2035.
Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez rejected the target, calling it “incompatible with our welfare state and our world vision.”
Russia: Artwork Lauding Bravery of North Korea’s People’s Army in Kursk Displayed in Moscow! (7.10.2025)
Between 2022-2024 the Russian Army systematically took-on and destroyed every Western-trained and NATO-armed formation the Maidan Neo-Nazis possessed (many of these Neo-Nazi troops had spent years training in the UK and US). Indeed, in an attempt to turn the tide of an obvious (and embarrassing) Kyiv defeat – the UK planned and instigated the illegal Maidan invasion of the sovereign Russian territory of “Kursk” – a historically famous area which had absolutely nothing to do with the current dispute (the Soviet Red Army had inflicted a devastating defeat in Kursk upon the retreating Nazi German forces during July 1943).
UK: Trump’s USAID-Cuts Threatens London Zoo! (5.10.2025)
A spokesperson for ZSL told the BBC that the past year had been particularly challenging for UK tourism and the global conservation sector.
They added that the organisation had also been affected by the increase in employer National Insurance contributions earlier this year.
The spokesperson said: “ZSL, whose income is partially generated by visitors to its zoos, has seen the impact of decreased consumer confidence on visitor behaviour, with guests spending less this summer.”
They pointed to the Great Britain Tourism Survey, which found domestic tourism was down by 8% in spring 2025 compared with the previous year. The decline was attributed to “increased cost-of-living and weaker consumer confidence” in the UK economy.
London Zoo – which celebrates its 200th anniversary in 2026 – also felt the impact of the Covid pandemic.
