The White House (via OMB) strongly protests Congressional efforts within the FY 2027 NDAA to prohibit the purchase of warships from foreign shipyards. The Administration argues that these restrictions undermine national security by limiting flexibility and hindering its strategy of leveraging allied yards, such as in the 'Finland model,' to drive investment into U.S. shipbuilding capacity. This signals a significant policy shift toward integrating international partners into advanced naval construction, suggesting the Pentagon is prepared to bypass traditional domestic build requirements for future combat vessels.
US-Israel war on Iran: What will Netanyahu do next?
English Summary
The Chatham House analysis suggests that Israel's multi-front military campaign against Iran and Hezbollah is facing significant internal contradictions and political instability. Key evidence points to Prime Minister Netanyahu lacking political leverage and a stable coalition, while the national mood reflects strategic fatigue despite some opposition to a ceasefire. Consequently, the war's future trajectory and Israel's relationships with the US, Europe, and Gulf Arab states will be heavily dictated by domestic political dynamics and the upcoming electoral cycle, rather than solely by military necessity.
中文摘要
查塔姆館的分析指出，以色列針對伊朗和真乃ادي的多線戰場軍事行動，正面臨顯著的內在矛盾和政治不穩定。關鍵證據顯示，以色列總理納坦雅胡缺乏政治籌碼和穩定的執政聯盟，而國內民意反映出戰略疲勞，儘管部分民眾仍反對停火。因此，這場戰爭未來的發展軌跡，以及以色列與美國、歐洲和海灣阿拉伯國家的關係，將更多地受到國內政治動態和即將到來的選舉週期所決定，而非單純由軍事需要所主導。

The Western Pacific remains a highly active theater defined by sustained U.S.-led military exercises and escalating great power competition. Key evidence includes continuous joint operations, such as RIMPAC 2026 in Hawaii and the deployment of CSGs into the South China Sea, juxtaposed with increased naval activity from both China (PLAN task groups) and Russia near Japan's critical straits. These movements underscore a strategic push by non-allied powers to assert presence and challenge regional norms. Policy implications dictate that allied nations must maintain robust multilateral cooperation and interoperability to safeguard freedom of navigation and manage escalating tensions in the Indo-Pacific.

The article argues that the post-Cold War era of U.S. unipolarity, established by the perceived invincibility demonstrated during the Gulf War, has ended. This decline is driven by globalization and technological diffusion, which have democratized advanced military capabilities, allowing regional actors to challenge major powers. Consequently, policymakers must prepare for a more volatile international order marked by frequent crises, heightened costs for securing global trade chokepoints, and reduced predictability from American power. The new rules dictate that great powers can no longer effortlessly impose their will through force.

The article argues that current market borrowing costs are rising independently of the Federal Reserve's policy stance, challenging the assumption that the Fed controls all rates. Evidence shows significant increases in key rates—such as 2-year Treasuries and mortgages—even while the effective federal funds rate remains steady. This divergence occurs because market rates reflect complex factors like inflation expectations, credit risk, and geopolitical volatility, which are outside the central bank's direct control. Policymakers should therefore recognize that sustainable rate moderation requires credible disinflation and disciplined government budgets, rather than relying solely on Fed intervention.

Despite recent trade setbacks, the U.S. retains fundamental structural economic leverage over China, particularly in high-tech sectors and intermediate goods. While Beijing can temporarily weaponize specific resources like rare earths, these chokepoints are vulnerable to diversification efforts by the West. The article argues that the most effective strategy is not unilateral action but coordinated multilateral pressure from U.S. allies across Asia and Europe. Washington must therefore coordinate its economic statecraft with partners to maximize damage to China’s export-dependent model.
