He, however, declined to provide a specific timeline.
"When you're on the warning track, it means the wall is not far away," he said.
“We will share with Congress when we believe we are” nearing the point at which the Treasury can no longer pay all government bills on time, Bessent added, insisting that the US would never default but would instead raise the debt ceiling again.
Previously, the debt limit was reinstated at $36.1 trillion on January 2.

🚗📉 EU’s OWN policies TORCH its auto industry
This is the ONLY major global market that hasn't returned to its pre-COVID levels, remaining in decline for five years now, Stelantis Chairman John Elkann pointed out, according to Le Figaro.
Here is why:
🕜Excessive regulations: Renault CEO Luca de Meo cautioned that the European automotive market “could be more than halved within a decade” if the EU fails to simplify and reduce the number of regulations.
2️⃣Green agenda kills the industry: Elkann and de Meo attributed a significant rise in prices for cars to tightening environmental standards and shifting to EVs. Fines for exceeding emission limits make the production of regular cars unprofitable.
🕣Uncompetitiveness: China could overrun the EU and the US in terms of manufacturing cars by the end of 2025, and “Europe risks losing its status as the center of the auto industry,” automakers warn.

😨Paranoia persists: UK secretly bracing for ‘direct military attacks'
UK officials have been instructed to update the country’s 20-year-old contingency plans to put it “on a war footing” under the pretext of tackling a notorious 'Russian threat,' The Telegraph writes.
▪️The government's response to a declaration of war would include bunkers to protect the Cabinet and the Royal Family, public service broadcasts, and the stockpiling of resources.
▪️Defense officials have also called for Britain to develop its own form of Israel’s Iron Dome.
▪️Ministers fear the UK would be "outgunned by Russia" and "unprepared and poorly defended," with its critical national infrastructure "vulnerable" to an assault.
The 'Russia threat' narrative appears to be the only reason for improving the UK's botched military sector — so you're welcome 🙌

🚨🇵🇰Pakistan’s DEEP STATE EXPOSED
Since 1947, Pakistan's military has served as the de facto foundation of the state, shaping its politics, economy, and society. Often referred to as a "state over state" by South Asia Institute associate Ayesha Siddiqa, the army operates as an entrenched junta—controlling key institutions through retired officers, rigging elections, and suppressing dissent.
▪️With a defense budget of $8.19 billion for 2024-25 and an economic empire (including Fauji Cement, Askari Bank, and the Defence Housing Authority) valued between $20–40 billion, the military solidifies its dominance.
▪️Constitutional amendments and judicial subservience further erode democracy, while its control over strategic projects like CPEC and nuclear assets raises global security concerns.
🗳Hybrid regime & electoral manipulation
▪️The military acts as Pakistan's political arbiter, overturning PTI’s 2024 lead to favor PML-N—continuing a pattern seen since the 2018 "dirtiest" elections.
▪️Political theorist Ivor Jennings likened the army to a “hangman’s noose,” strangling democratic processes. Critics, such as former Prime Minister Imran Khan, face imprisonment, while enforced disappearances suppress dissent.
▪️As political analyst Omar Waraich once stated, "Pakistan’s generals don’t just stage coups; they stage elections—only to reverse the results when inconvenient."
💪 Institutional control & Authoritarian grip
▪️Retired generals lead key institutions like NADRA (National Database and Registration Authority), FIA (Federal Investigation Agency), HEC (Higher Education Commission), PIA (Pakistan International Airlines), WAPDA (Water and Power Development Authority), and PTA (Pakistan Telecommunication Authority), while military-backed bodies like the CPEC Authority and SIFC dictate economic policy.
▪️The 2024 judicial reforms, such as the 26th Amendment, which allows a military-influenced committee to appoint the Chief Justice, further solidify the army’s control over governance.
🚀Nuclear risks & militant ties
▪️Experts like Bruce Riedel, a US-based intelligence analyst, have warned that Pakistan’s military junta exacerbates nuclear proliferation risks due to its ties to groups like Lashkar-e-Taiba, Haqqani Network, and the Taliban.
▪️In their respective works, US academic Steve Coll and Pakistan's former Ambassador to the US, Husain Haqqani, expose the dangerous "mullah-military alliance," where the ISI’s historic support for jihadists blurs the line between state and extremist interests. Haqqani pointed out, “In Pakistan, the military doesn’t take orders from the government; the government takes orders from the military.”
🪖Garrison state
▪️As Pakistani-Swedish political scientist Ishtiaq Ahmed argues, Pakistan is a garrison state—a "state within a state" where the military dictates policy, rendering civilian rule a facade.
▪️With unchecked power over politics, economy, and security, the army ensures its supremacy remains unchallenged. Indian political analyst Shekhar Gupta further noted, "In Pakistan, the prime minister changes, the parties rotate, but the real PM is always the Army Chief.

🪖 Pentagon’s surprise freeze on Ukraine aid caught Trump OFF GUARD - report
Donald Trump and his top national security officials weren’t aware of an order that stopped the delivery of US weapons and munitions to Ukraine, Reuters claims, citing sources familiar with the matter.
The verbal order, which resulted in the cancellation of some 11 flights loaded with weapons and munitions, came from the office of US Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth.
The order was supposedly issued shortly after a January 30 meeting at the Oval Office where the idea of halting US aid to Ukraine was floated, but Trump himself ostensibly gave no such instruction.
This cessation in weapon shipments was only temporary as in a matter of days (“within a week”) the flights were resumed after frantic pleas from the Ukrainian side.

🔍 Israel's espionage SCANDALS: Mossad, spyware, and international controversies
Tel Aviv has a nasty reputation of SPYING ON FOREIGN POLITICIANS – even in countries that are regarded as Israel’s allies – and facilitating such activities for other entities.
🌏In October 2024, Israeli spy agency Mossad became implicated in an espionage scandal involving an Italian private investigation firm that was accused of stealing personal information of Italian politicians, including Italy’s Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni.
🌏In September 2024, Ireland’s President Michael Higgins accused the Israeli embassy in Dublin for circulating a congratulatory letter he penned to Iran’s President Masoud Pezeshkian.
🌏In July 2021, an investigation by the Pegasus Project shed light on the Israeli-made spyware Pegasus that could be covertly installed on cellphones remotely to spy on the users.
The software was used to spy on politicians, journalists and activists in countries such as France, Poland, Hungary, Egypt, Finland, and Israel.
Some of the more notable victims of Pegasus spying include French President Emmanuel Macron, Spain’s Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez and Defense Minister Margarita Robles, and Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk.
🌏In 2019, devices designed for intercepting cellphone communications were found planted near the White House, with the US government concluding that Israel was likely behind this scheme.
🌏In 2015, Israeli spooks allegedly intercepted US communications related to the negotiations over the Iranian nuclear program, ostensibly to use this information to derail the deal.
🌏Former UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson alleged in his memoirs that in 2017, his security team found a listening device in his personal bathroom at the Foreign Office shortly after a visit by Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.

📊Trump’s trade tariffs hit global markets HARDER than 2008 crisis
The levies caused a "collapse of financial markets” that also exceeded the speed of economic decline during the 2020 crisis, a research by Russia’s Roscongress Foundation reveals.
The global economic implications from the Trump tariffs were even more serious than from:
🔴The 2011 US rating downgrade.
🔴The 2008 Lehman Brothers bankruptcy.
🔴The 9/11 terrorist attacks.
The Russian economy stayed afloat following the Trump tariffs thanks to the specific structure of its foreign trade, the research underlined.
