Ukraine is almost completely out of kursk, with Russians entering Sumy oblast. https://www.understandingwar.org/backgrounder/russian-offensive-campaign-assessment-march-18-2025 Russian President Vladimir Putin did not accept the US-Ukrainian proposal for a temporary ceasefire along the frontline and reiterated his demands for a resolution to the war that amount to Ukrainian capitulation.[1] Putin and US President Donald Trump held a phone call on March 18.[2] The Kremlin's official readout of the call stated that Putin emphasized the need to address the "root causes" of the war.[3] Russian officials have repeatedly defined these root causes as NATO's eastward expansion and Ukraine's alleged violations of the rights of Russian-speaking minorities in Ukraine. Russian officials’ calls for the elimination of these "root causes" amount to Russian demands for Ukraine's permanent neutrality and the installation of a pro-Russian government in Kyiv.[4] Putin demanded on March 18 that Ukraine stop mobilizing (i.e. recruiting and training) forces during a potential temporary ceasefire. Putin also called for a halt to all foreign military aid and intelligence sharing with Ukraine but did not discuss Russia's military support from North Korea, the People's Republic of China (PRC), and Iran.[5] Putin claimed that Russia and the United States should continue their efforts toward a peace settlement in "bilateral mode," excluding Ukraine or Europe from future negotiations about the war in Ukraine. Putin's demands on the March 18 call parallel the demands he made on March 13.[6]

Pentagon is cutting up to 60,000 civilian jobs. About a third of those took voluntary resignations https://apnews.com/article/pentagon-doge-civilian-job-cuts-fbcb154fbe9d5904f456aa3655e57c44

Eurozone and allied powers of Asia (Australia, South Korea and Japan). All reached a level of development similar to the US lower-middle class but superior to the bottom half of the US population. The nordic countries did better than the rest. Europeans spent money on social services instead of the military, weakening the latter to an alarming extent. Only South Korea and Japan have capable armed forces/mic but are utterly dwarfed by China's. The 'happy times' for Europe/asia is coming to the end as internal economic/demographic problems and stagnation remained unresolved. Future economic growth will largely have to come from expanding the military against Russia/US retreat from occupied Europe. This will massively lower the civilian standard of living, especially the subsidized poor.

Ray Dalio, billionaire hedge fund manager compiled an analysis of the top 24 great powers going forward for his investment group: https://economicprinciples.org/downloads/DalioRay_Power_Index_Appendix.pdf https://uk.finance.yahoo.com/news/world-most-powerful-nations-where-183000329.html IMHO his list is biased towards finance/measurements of nominal currency (rather than purchasing power) for economic analysis and naturally he and his team have hardly lived in the countries that they are judging this on. The list is also biased towards western/allied countries. I think there are 3 only great powers in this world: China, US, and Russia. The rest are regional powers with only moderate potential. For me, no. 1 is obviously China. It already has the largest real economy in the world by far and an unbeatable army and navy. Continues with fast economic growth. Combined with a 'no limits' partnership with Russia and massive trade with it a lot of its strategic weaknesses are eliminated. It does not seem to want to replace the US as the most influential and controlling global hegemon but rather manage the economic/military decline of the West and the United States. A key objective is de-dollarization. No. 2 the United States. Very fractured and badly organized nation in which half of the population is highly developed but enslaved by capitalism while the other half lives in 3rd world/developing country conditions. It has the potential to become a great country but has been failing badly for 30 years while falling into a black hole of consumer and government debt. Declining on a yearly basis against the rest of the world both economically and militarily. Yet the country has tremendous potential. No.3 Russia. A very underrated country due to the hatred it has for the outside world and hated by the combined West. It is measured the 4th largest economy in the world by purchasing parity and its military remains unbeaten by the combined West in Ukraine. It is also an unusually self-sufficient and growing country but it is balanced with a lot of problems. Out of the 3 countries it has the strongest debt position but is dwarfed by China in real economy terms. Its cities are well developed but it lacks a highly developed and large middle class. Russia like the US has great potential.

https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cvge4l109r3o " US President Donald Trump has signed an order to strip back federally funded news organisation Voice of America, accusing it of being "anti-Trump" and "radical". A White House statement said the order would "ensure taxpayers are no longer on the hook for radical propaganda", and included quotes from politicians and right-wing media criticising the broadcaster. VOA, still primarily a radio service, was set up during World War Two to counter Nazi propaganda. It says it currently reaches hundreds of millions of people globally each week. Mike Abramowitz, VOA's director, said he and virtually his entire staff of 1,300 people had been put on paid leave."
