90 minutes that changed Ukraine, ‘Uncle Sam’ & Uncle Sucker’, AI Unleashed, Musk v Altman

It’s been a week where Moscow got what it wanted. A 90-minute call between Trump and Putin ended with talk of visits and cooperation—and the real headline: no NATO future for Ukraine. Kyiv may never reclaim its lost borders, and as Putin steps in from the cold, Zelensky risks being frozen out. The EU warns of a dirty deal behind its back.  Then in Gaza, the truce nearly collapsed. Hamas delayed hostage releases, accusing Israel of violations. Then came Trump’s ultimatum: free them all or “let all hell break loose.” The militants dismissed the threats but stuck to the plan. Meanwhile, freed hostages reveal harrowing details of their captivity—starvation, abuse, and fear.  Meanwhile, world leaders gathered in Paris for an AI summit. The message from U.S. Vice President JD Vance? No brakes, no fear, no overregulation. Macron warned of AI’s “Wild West” dangers but made the most of the business opportunity. Safety concerns barely got a mention.
