🌍 The Economist: after the setback in the midterm elections, Trump may look even more actively for victories abroad. Inside the country he faces hearings, subpoenas, and a Congress that can finally ask awkward questions. Foreign policy remains the area where the president has the most leeway.

On the table are Iran, Cuba, Ukraine, Russia, China, and North Korea. But the war with Iran has already shown the limits: Trump postponed new strikes, and Netanyahu heard that there would be no support without American backing.

🇺🇦Here is an important remark for Ukraine: even a very strong president cannot wage war indefinitely if there is a shortage of ammunition, air defenses, and political agreement at home.

🌍 The Economist: після провалу на проміжних виборах Трамп може ще активніше шукати перемоги за кордоном. Усередині країни на нього чекають слухання, повістки й Конгрес, який нарешті може ставити незручні питання. Зовнішня політика лишається сферою, де президент має найбільше простору.

На столі - Іран, Куба, Україна, Росія, Китай і Північна Корея. Але війна з Іраном уже показала межі: Трамп відклав нові удари, а Нетаньягу почув, що без американської підтримки їх не буде.

🇺🇦Оце важлива ремарка для України: навіть дуже сильний президент не може безкінечно воювати, якщо бракує боєприпасів, ППО та політичної згоди вдома.

🇺🇦 The Economist: the Russian war is hitting Ukraine not only with rockets. The population in government-controlled territory has fallen from 37 million to 27-28 million; another 3-5 million live under occupation, more than 5 million are abroad. The birth rate fell from 1,2 children per woman in 2020 to 0,8-0,9. In the first half of 2026 there were three times as many deaths as births. Only 43% of refugees now say they plan to return — at the end of 2022 that share was 74%. Demography is also a...

🤠 The Economist: Texas seems to be ceasing to be automatically Republican. James Talarico defeated Ken Paxton by 12 points and became the first Democratic senator from the state in 38 years. Democrat Ginyuosa also beat three-term governor Abbott. Not only culture wars worked in the campaign. Property tax during Abbott’s tenure rose by 86%, and the promised “compensation for the corruption tax” in $1 500 would have cost the state budget $17 billion. 🏜️Even in Texas people vote with their wallets...

🗞️ The Economist cover expected: ⛳️Trump suffered not just a defeat but a humiliation. The Democrats won 54 seats in the Senate, about 260 in the House of Representatives, five governorships, and outpolled the Republicans in the vote for the House by 13 points. 🇺🇸The publication links this to prices, tariffs, the war with Iran, and fatigue with the leadership style. According to Gallup, 9 out of 10 Americans consider corruption widespread; 80% want either significant reforms or a complete overh...
