🇱🇹🇱🇻🇷🇺⚡️ — On the morning of October 18, an unidentified object, presumably a drone, was detected in Lithuanian airspace, triggering the air-raid warning system.

NATO fighter jets were scrambled, but the object could not be intercepted.

It is presumed that the object may have exploded near the town of Pasvalys in northern Lithuania, close to the border with Latvia.

Latvia has also declared a state of emergency in three municipalities over concerns that the object could enter its airspace. The Lithuanian police are investigating the incident.

🇺🇸🇷🇺🇨🇳🇰🇵🌍⚡️ — The world is approaching a Third World War: the number of armed conflicts has reached its highest level since the Second World War, says the FT.

According to estimates by the International Crisis Group, 65 conflicts are currently ongoing worldwide.

The war in Ukraine, the confrontation between the US and Iran, and tensions around Taiwan could escalate into a global clash. An additional threat is posed by the growing alignment between Moscow, Beijing, Tehran, and Pyongyang.

The world order is breaking down, and Putin, Xi Jinping, and Trump are increasingly viewing the world through the prism of spheres of influence. At the same time, Trump is questioning the US willingness to defend its allies.

The key question is whether Russia will dare to attack a NATO country, and China to attack Taiwan, if they are not sure about Washington’s intervention. This could determine whether a global war can be avoided.
