Trump Administration’s New Strategy Seeks to Reshape European Politics
Politico Europe reports that the Trump administration’s newly released National Security Strategy marks a historic break, openly advocating for the US to support “patriotic” (often far-right) parties across Europe in a bid to shift the continent’s politics rightward. The document warns of “civilizational erasure” due to migration and low birth rates, and questions whether some NATO allies will remain reliable partners. European centrist leaders, including the UK’s Keir Starmer and France’s Emmanuel Macron, are preparing for heightened US intervention in their domestic politics, while the European Commission scrambles to bolster election defenses. The analysis notes that MAGA-aligned parties may make significant gains in upcoming EU elections, with the US now officially backing such shifts.

Russia’s Economic Mobilization: Recruiting Soldiers in a Financially Stressed Society
Politico Europe provides an in-depth investigation into Russia’s transformation of military recruitment into a quasi-commercial, incentive-driven market. The Kremlin’s approach, relying on hefty bonuses and social benefits—even for those with criminal records or severe financial hardship—has enabled it to offset massive battlefield casualties, recruiting about 30,000 new soldiers monthly. This economic strategy, funded by both regional and federal budgets, is seen by Western analysts as key to Russia’s military resilience and a potential precursor to broader military ambitions in Europe. The report highlights that for many Russian men facing economic precarity, military service has become the only viable path to upward mobility despite high personal risk.

US Affordability Crisis Intensifies Amid Energy and Healthcare Shocks
The Financial Times highlights that surging gas and energy prices, exacerbated by record US LNG exports and a cold snap, are fueling an affordability crisis across America, presenting a major political challenge for President Trump. The crisis is further compounded by the looming expiration of expanded Obamacare subsidies, as reported by The Atlantic; millions of Americans could see their health insurance premiums more than double by the end of the year, with Congress deadlocked on a fix. The combined effect is a squeeze on essential services, with households feeling poorer even as headline economic indicators remain robust.
