1. Europe Warns US-Russia Security Deal Could Undercut NATO
-- European officials fear Washington could strike an agreement with Moscow that undermines NATO and restores Russia's sphere of influence, the Financial Times reported, as US envoys prepare to sit with Ukrainian and Russian negotiators in Abu Dhabi.
-- A settlement that trades sanctions relief or a freeze on force posture for a ceasefire leaves the eastern flank planning against commitments made without it; Brent at $96.49 has already surrendered most of the war premium, so the repricing risk now runs toward a deal that fails, not one that lands.
2. Nigerian Court Strips Main Opposition Candidate From Presidential Ballot
-- A high court ruled Atiku Abubakar was not the lawful candidate of the African Democratic Congress because the primary that nominated him was run by an unrecognised party leadership, 10 weeks before the vote; his campaign will appeal and accused President Bola Tinubu of seeking to dodge a contest over his record.
-- Removing the two-time runner-up leaves Tinubu facing a fragmented field, but the credibility test sits in the machinery rather than the paper: the BVAS devices that accredit voters draw on the register where AI-generated entries have already surfaced, and courts in 2023 declined to force electronic publication of results.
3. Wall Street's Push to Trade AI Compute Hits a Washington Roadblock
-- Exchange operators are racing to make GPU compute a tradable commodity like oil or wheat, but national security concerns inside the Trump administration could complicate the effort, Semafor reported.
-- A functioning contract would let operators hedge capacity and give the build-out a public price signal in place of private hyperscaler deals; whether compute is classed as an export-controlled good decides whether those contracts survive review.

Yes but why we raising taxes on everything to implement more socialism then.
Easy to get discouraged if you spend all day staring at a screen.
Stop looking far beyond your own front door. Enjoy the moments with the people right in front of you. Laugh with them.
Most of the internet is just theatrical noise anyway.
