Russia's air campaign has escalated to a new peak — but sustainability constraints will determine how it ends. Drone frequency is maintainable; missile intensity is not. Moscow's middle ground between further escalation & genuine negotiation is eroding navigatingthevortex.com/p/uk…

China is not choosing between Russia and the US — it’s instrumentalising both. Putin arrived in Beijing as the 12th leader to visit Xi this year. @navvortex navigatingthevortex.com/p/no… #Geopolitics #ChinaRussia

Three different populisms in Europe — not one. AfD: uniform threat. PiS: aligned on Russia and NATO, threat on Europe and MAGA. RN: uniformly uncertain. Britain's minilateral hedge sits on the same ground that is shifting.

Xi–Trump wasn't a thaw or a pause — it was the continuation of a managed equilibrium that quietly demotes Russia. Stefan Wolff for @navvortex → navigatingthevortex.com/p/st… #Geopolitics #USChina

Stefan Wolff's new @navvortex analysis: Putin's leverage requires being either useful or disruptive to Washington and Beijing. The Trump-Xi summit narrows both options. Where Russian disruption surfaces next is the live question.

The UAE just quit OPEC. The Gulf energy architecture built in 1945 is over. OPEC's own monthly report didn't mention the war that caused the collapse.

Orbán's exit frees €90bn for Ukraine but doesn't solve: Babiš, Fico, Radev still in play; France/Germany focus on process, not speed; Poland won't open its market. The "bridge-to-Russia" failure looms again: bit.ly/4d6SU8y

Trump claims Iran wants a ceasefire. Iran: that's "false and baseless." Same address: two more weeks of bombing, NATO withdrawal threat. Oil 5%. Treasuries down. Hormuz week two. Credibility gap = market event. @navvortex navigatingthevortex.com #Geopolitics #Leadership #Iran

Iran strikes a Kuwaiti tanker in Dubai port — the war crosses new lines. Diplomatic channels explore deals that leave Hormuz closed permanently. Oil toward $200. South Korea: $22.3bn stimulus. Japan: power grid crisis.
