Russia’s pipeline gas exports to Europe have collapsed to just 18 bcm in 2025, the lowest level in nearly 50 years, according to Reuters. That’s a 44% drop from last year, and far below the 175+ bcm peak of 2018–2019. Soviet-era infrastructure is now barely functioning as a Kremlin revenue source.

Why China is bringing out the big guns for military drills around Taiwan
China stepped up its military drills around Taiwan with live-fire exercises on Tuesday, the second day of an operation dubbed “Justice Mission 2025". The massive show of force comes at a crucial time as Beijing seeks to capitalise on domestic political tensions in Taiwan and issue a warning to foreign powers supporting Taipei.

Tesla deliveries were expected to fall in the fourth quarter, as the loss of U.S. tax credits and rising global competition sapped demand even as the company rolled out cheaper versions of its best-selling electric vehicles.
