NATO plans barriers and technology as first line of eastern defence, troops as last resort

NATO is developing a defence concept for its eastern border with Russia based primarily on physical barriers, sensors and automated systems rather than mass troop deployment. Armed forces are to serve as a last resort when other measures fail. The goal is to deter a potential aggressor already at the border crossing stage.

Can technological barriers effectively replace troops on NATO's eastern border?

Prof. Orłowski: Poland's EU single market access mattered more than EU funds

Economist Prof. Witold Orłowski argues that Poland's access to the EU single market has been a more important driver of its rapid development than direct EU funding. The interview was conducted in the context of the start of negotiations over the EU budget for 2028–2034. Orłowski emphasises that free movement of goods, services and capital provided an economic boost that financial transfers alone could not have delivered.

Was Poland's access to the EU single market more important than EU funds?

"La Stampa": Post-American NATO 3.0 born at Ankara summit

Italian newspaper La Stampa argues that the NATO summit in Ankara marked the birth of a new era — NATO 3.0 — following the Cold War and the era of American global hegemony. The paper describes the early steps of a "post-American NATO" in which Europe takes greater responsibility for its own security. It also praised Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni's role at the summit.

Is Europe ready to take the lead in NATO without the US?

Meta uses your Instagram photos for AI by default — here's how to turn it off

Meta has launched its own AI image generation model integrated into Instagram, which by default allows anyone to use your profile photo and posts as prompts for AI-generated images. Users can prevent this by toggling off two settings hidden within the app. The options are deliberately obscure, so privacy advocates urge users to disable them immediately.

Should Meta default to opting users out of AI image training?

31 ancient quasars from 670 million years after the Big Bang baffle scientists

Astronomers have discovered 31 of the oldest known quasars, including the two earliest ever detected, shining when the universe was only about 670 million years old. These incredibly bright objects are powered by supermassive black holes billions of times the mass of the Sun. Their existence challenges scientific understanding of how such enormous black holes could have formed so quickly after the Big Bang.

Should these quasar discoveries prompt scientists to revise Big Bang theory?

Caraway seeds aid digestion and provide iron — perfect for heavy meals

Caraway seeds are especially recommended for fatty and heavy dishes, as they support digestion and ease the feeling of heaviness in the stomach. They are a notable source of iron, making them a valuable addition both for flavour and nutritional reasons. A pinch of caraway gives dishes a homely aroma and can make them gentler on the digestive system.

Can natural spices like caraway effectively replace digestive medicines?

Pricing houses in bitcoin reveals the dollar's true loss of value

An analysis dated 9 July 2026 examines what happens when house prices are denominated in bitcoin rather than US dollars, arguing the exercise exposes the dollar's ongoing loss of purchasing power. When measured in BTC, real-estate values tell a very different story than traditional inflation statistics. The author suggests bitcoin is increasingly serving as a reliable measure of asset value.

Should bitcoin replace the dollar as the primary measure of asset value?
