<description><![CDATA[Geopolitical Monitor’s situation report warns that Gibraltar has entered a more dangerous post-Brexit phase. The new 2026 deal is not a formal surrender of British sovereignty, but it gives Spain fresh practical power over the Rock’s borders, economy and daily life.]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[The DIIS brief warns that Europe’s idea of strategic autonomy is changing fast. This is no longer mainly about crisis missions, statebuilding or flying the EU flag in fragile states. It is turning into defence-industrial coordination, arms production, training, battlefield learning and military supply chains.]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[RUSI’s commentary exposes a dangerous hole in Europe’s sanctions war. Crypto is no longer a fringe trick used by rogue wallets and shady exchanges. For Russia, Iran and other sanctioned actors, it is becoming part of the machinery that moves money, buys goods and keeps pressure campaigns alive. The EU has started to react, but the warning is stark: Moscow’s networks adapt faster than Brussels can list names.]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[The Chatham House commentary cuts through the leadership drama and points to the real danger. Whoever replaces Keir Starmer – Andy Burnham or anyone else – inherits a foreign policy storm. Britain’s biggest relationships are shifting at speed, especially with the United States and Europe. The country wants domestic relief, but the world is pushing defence, trade and security bills through the door. A new prime minister may get a reset. They will not get an escape route.]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[The IISS analysis delivers a harsh warning for European defence. A flagship Franco-German-Spanish plan to build a next-generation fighter now looks broken. The project was meant to prove Europe could act like a serious military power. Instead, it has exposed the same old problem: national industry, political pride and strategic mistrust getting in the way of hard capability.]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[The EU’s new Migration and Asylum Pact has entered into force, but the CIDOB opinion argues that Brussels is still selling certainty where there is far too much doubt.
