Is America’s hegemony over the Middle East coming to an end? (The Economist)

The Economist

THE INSIDER

Sep 24, 2026

Even as President Donald Trump threatens another blast of “annihilation” in Iran, the signs of America’s looming retrenchment are unmistakable. Earlier this month it declined to join Saudi Arabia, its ally, in striking the Houthis in Yemen, instead making a deal with the insurgent militia behind the Saudis’ backs to spare American vessels from attack. There is a widespread expectation that America will cut its military presence; its bases are vulnerable to drones and missiles; its soldiers are set to leave Iraq quietly at the end of this month. Several countries, including Iran, Turkey and Israel, are poised to fill the void.

The structural shift would mean that, for the first time in a century, the main source of security in the Middle East would be a local power. Edward Carr, our deputy editor, is joined by a panel of our top Middle East experts to consider what this means for the future of a volatile region.

Is Vladimir Putin’s regime cracking? (The Atlantic Council)

Email-10-29-EC-Is Vladimir Putins regime cracking

“They will hang me,” Putin reportedly said to a group of close confidants, expressing his fear of public backlash to Russia’s war of aggression against Ukraine.

Increasingly, the Russian president’s facade of strength appears to be cracking: from the firing of the country’s top economist following a critical speech on the wartime economy, to Putin’s diminished appearance alongside Chinese President Xi Jinping at the Shanghai Cooperation Organization summit, to growing pushback from Russian pro-war bloggers against official Kremlin claims of battlefield gains.

Sánchez contra Trump en la 81ª Asamblea General de la ONU

Sánchez lanza ante la Asamblea de la ONU un alegato contra las políticas de Trump

Naciones Unidas, 24 sep (EFE).- El presidente del Gobierno español, Pedro Sánchez, intervino este miércoles ante la Asamblea General de la ONU con un alegato contra una serie de políticas como las que está desarrollando la administración de Donald Trump y frente a las que dijo que España «no va a callar».

Sin citar en ningún momento al presidente estadounidense, todo su discurso estuvo plagado de críticas a actuaciones que están llevando a cabo Trump y otros gobiernos «reaccionarios».

«No hace falta señalarlos. Todos sabemos quiénes son y cuál es su modus operandi», señaló.

Desde sus primeras palabras ante la Asamblea, dejó claras sus intenciones: «Subo a esta tribuna -dijo- con un solo objetivo, defender aquello que muchos están intentado destruir».

The west in freefall (Owen Jones, Guardian)

 

 
Owen Jones

Owen Jones

 

Endless pursuit of wealth and power by western leaders led us here. What strikes me most is how many saw what was coming

The symptoms of decline are everywhere you look. On Sunday, Germany’s far right won another state election, taking nearly 40% of the vote in Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania. France is preparing a €54bn fiscal squeeze, which could turn the screw still further on a foundering so-called European social model. At the UN general assembly, Donald Trump once again threatened to “annihilate” Iran, even as the fourth failed western war on a Muslim nation this century has added more than $100bn to Americans’ fuel bills.

There is little dispute over the symptoms. The great fight of our age is over the diagnosis, and the right has been winning it for years. Its story is simple and, as the latest German state election underlines, effective: the west is dying because of migrants, Muslims, trans people, “woke” and the “deep state”. So when I told friends I was writing a book called The Fall of the West: How They Really Lost It, they worried I had shape-shifted into Liz Truss, who, after being outlasted in office by a lettuce, produced Ten Years to Save the West.

“Financing Nature 2026” (Paulson Institute)

Cover image of Financing Nature Report 2026.

Protecting nature and supporting economic prosperity can go hand in hand. Around the world, proven approaches are demonstrating what’s possible. The challenge now is accelerating the policies, investments, and partnerships we know work.

Six years after Financing Nature helped elevate biodiversity finance on the global agenda, Financing Nature 2026: A Mid-Decade Update explores where momentum is building and what it will take to bring proven solutions to the scale needed for people, nature and economies to thrive.

Why Nature Finance Matters

Nature supports the food we grow, the water we drink, the communities we depend on, and the economies that help people thrive. Nearly $58 trillion in global GDP depends on nature, yet biodiversity continues to decline as investments that harm nature outpace those that protect it. 

The good news? We are not starting from scratch. Across sectors and regions, leaders are demonstrating that investing in nature can strengthen economies, reduce risk, and create lasting benefits for people and the planet.
