Geopolitics
The geopolitical landscape remains tense as the Ukraine conflict continues. Armstrong Economics has called for war crime trials against Ukrainian President Zelensky and others, citing the ongoing violence and the use of British Storm Shadow missiles in Russia. This view reflects frustrations within Ukraine, where some citizens reportedly express disillusionment with Zelensky’s leadership and the suspension of elections. The conflict’s complexity is further highlighted by accusations of Western interference and the reported use of American ATACMS missiles by Ukraine, which has prompted Russia to update its nuclear doctrine.
In a related development, Russia’s alleged recent launch of an intercontinental ballistic missile (ICBM) targeting Ukraine has raised concerns. While the missile did not carry a nuclear warhead, its use marks a significant escalation, interpreted by some as a strategic signal to Ukraine’s Western allies. This move coincides with the UK and Moldova signing a defense pact to counter perceived Russian aggression, underscoring the growing divide between Western allies and Russia. Meanwhile, a YouGov survey indicates that nearly half of Brits view Russia as the biggest threat to global peace.
As the conflict in Ukraine persists, the use of advanced weaponry and strategic maneuvers by both sides continues to shape the narrative. The potential for further escalation remains, with the international community closely monitoring developments. Amid these tensions, calls for peace and accountability are evident, as stakeholders navigate the complex web of geopolitical, economic, and public health challenges.

Economy
Economic concerns are also prominent, with the European Central Bank’s wage index indicating rising inflation pressures. The surge in negotiated wages challenges the ECB’s disinflation outlook, complicating decisions on rate cuts amid persistent services inflation. This economic strain is mirrored in the US, where Target’s financial struggles highlight a weakening labor market. The Bureau of Labor Statistics’ data suggests a recessionary trend, with Target’s declining sales contrasting with Walmart’s success, driven by higher-income shoppers.
Health
In public health, a US Senate investigation led by Senator Ron Johnson is probing allegations of a COVID-19 vaccine cover-up. Whistleblower claims suggest high-level officials prioritized concealing vaccine-related risks over public transparency. This investigation has garnered support from figures like Elon Musk and RFK Jr., who argue for accountability in the face of alleged globalist agendas.
