Insightview sees little prospect of a credible Russia–Ukraine peace deal : Putin cannot survive politically without major concessions from Kyiv and its European allies. Still, watch the Abu Dhabi talks – a new post-war balance of power in Europe appears to be taking shape, with dramatic implications for Europeans - and not necessarily positive...
Insightview has previously noted that the Trump administration's foreign policy was, in its view, more focused on personal gain for the President and his family than on US national security. That suspicion is now spreading in Congress. [Read the article: reuters.com - Alice Huang, Chinese businesswoman tied to Nvidia CEO, went from finance to chips]
The midterms did something Big Tech’s marketing never could: they asked what a cat in a spacesuit really costs .

American democracy won, helped by how unpopular the Trump administration has become. Republicans lost big, even in Texas and South Carolina. Democrats, still divided, must now prove they deserve the victory, and quickly, before the far right distances itself from Trump and regroups. Jon Ossoff offers them hope. Republicans facing voters in 2028 may start...
Yesterday, several European food retailers were once again hit by cyberattacks on their refrigeration units. This should be seen as yet another warning about the vulnerability of private homes, where countless IoT devices of varying security quality connect to household networks.

Equally, there should be little doubt that AI is delivering, and will deliver even faster, as the safety and security issues surrounding its use are, hopefully, brought more firmly under...
A notable opinion poll shows a relatively significant decline in support for the AfD (26%) and a rise in support for the CDU/CSU (23%). This comes as the AfD has been hit by an extensive hacking attack. On the other hand, the survey also reveals a German electorate with little appetite for reform.

The Chinese Communist Party’s Central Committee meets behind closed doors in Beijing from 26 to 29 October for the Fifth Plenum . The official agenda is “ full and rigorous Party self-governance ”, which in plain language means discipline, anti-corruption and loyalty, not stimulus. That raises an awkward question. A leader in full command rarely needs a...
