 In a surprising move that caught much of the international community’s attention, Russian President Vladimir Putin and the U.S. administration under President Donald Trump have taken a tentative step toward rebuilding strategic trust. The two nations — long-time nuclear rivals — are exploring a temporary extension of the New START Treaty , which limits both sides’ nuclear arsenals. This development comes at a time when global tensions remain high, and the threat of nuclear escalation is once again a topic of concern for policymakers and citizens alike. 🔹 What the Deal Is About On September 22, 2025 , Putin proposed a one-year voluntary extension of the existing New START Treaty, set to expire in February 2026. Under this proposal, Russia and the United States would both agree to continue honoring the treaty’s limits — capping each side at 1,550 deployed nuclear warheads and 700 delivery systems (such as missiles, submarines, and bombers). In simple terms, both countrie...

  Pakistan shipped its first batch of enriched rare earth elements and critical minerals to the United States, marking the start of a $500 million partnership between the two countries.  The inaugural consignment, delivered to US Strategic Metals (USSM) on Thursday, includes copper concentrate, antimony, and rare earths such as neodymium and praseodymium, according to Dawn. The shipment, prepared in collaboration with the Frontier Works Organisation (FWO), is seen as a potential turning point in Islamabad’s economic and diplomatic ties with Washington. However, the opposition Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) has raised sharp objections, calling the deals “secretive” and “reckless”.  PTI Information Secretary Sheikh Waqqas Akram demanded that the government disclose the details of all agreements signed with the US, warning that “such lopsided and secretive agreements would further inflame the already volatile situation in the country.” He added that parliament “must be taken...

  European Exploration, Colonization and Conflict (1513–1765) Christopher Columbus started exploring the Caribbean on behalf of Spain in 1492, resulting in Spanish-speaking colonies and missions from the current Puerto Rico and Florida to California and New Mexico. The earliest Spanish colony in today's continental United States was Spanish Florida, which was chartered in 1513. Following a number of failed settlements there because of starvation and disease, Spain's first permanent town, Saint Augustine, was established in 1565. France also had its own settlements in French Florida in 1562, but they were either deserted (Charlesfort, 1578) or wrecked by Spanish attacks (Fort Caroline, 1565). Stable French settlements were established much later on the Great Lakes (Fort Detroit, 1701), the Mississippi (Saint Louis, 1764) and particularly the Gulf of Mexico (New Orleans, 1718). Early European settlements also included the successful Dutch settlement of New nederland (establishe...
