Western militaries are undermining Ukraine’s defence, experts say

Experts from the Kyiv School of Economics and Al Jazeera report that rigid Western military attitudes and regulatory paralysis in Kyiv are hindering joint weapons production, thereby undermining Ukraine's defense and leaving European forces unprepared. Stalled ventures, such as a Rheinmetall artillery shell factory, are attributed to delayed permits, site changes, and complex intellectual property and export rights issues, contrasting with Ukraine's rapid drone innovation.

From Robert Kraft to Netanyahu, Israel’s supporters keep helping its critics | Peter Beinart

Robert Kraft allegedly pressured Ed Sheeran to drop Macklemore for saying "Free Palestine," while Benjamin Netanyahu's party has pushed to ban Arab parties, actions the author argues are politically detrimental to Israel. These moves, framed by loss aversion theory, are seen as aggressive responses to declining support rather than prudent adaptations to changing American public opinion.
