Reports say at least 33 countries have issued guidance urging households to stockpile food, water and essentials against risks such as geopolitical tensions, extreme weather, power outages and cyberattacks. Stockpile periods vary: France and the UK cite 72 hours, Canada, Japan, Mexico and the Netherlands three days, Sweden and Norway up to one week, and Germany up to 10 days. Thailand's DDPM asked families on 2/11 to keep enough for the first 72 hours after a disaster, while the Pentagon's FORTRESS program aims to let military bases operate independently for up to 90 days, a military initiative rather than public advice. Experts note these are precautionary measures and do not signal forecasts of war or an imminent major disaster.

- New front leaves 32 countries at a disadvantage against Russia: Moscow 'builds a fortress' in the world's most dangerous region
Writing in Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung (FAZ), journalist Julian Staib argues the Arctic is becoming a key arena of strategic competition, especially between NATO and Russia. Climate change is warming the region about 4 times faster than the global average, and melting ice could shorten the Rotterdam to Shanghai shipping route by about 15 days while opening access to resources. Russia treats the Arctic as a core security zone, with a nuclear submarine fleet on the Kola Peninsula and a multilayered 'fortress defense' system built up since 2015. According to the article, Russia's navy, air force and army within the Arctic Circle are larger by about 1/3 than NATO's forces in the same area. China, the US under President Donald Trump and the EU are also expanding their roles, while Finland and Sweden joining NATO has significantly shifted the strategic balance.
- Thousands of troops from 11 countries close in on Russia, Belousov visits hotspot: Report on "right to fire on Russian soldiers"
According to The Guardian, citing sources, foreign troops deployed to Ukraine would be granted the right to fire on Russian forces in self-defense, a Western official said. Planned peacekeeping units would include only British and European personnel and would not use US technology such as Starlink. The reports came as the UK and France announced the Koalicja exercise in Poland, involving troops from 11 countries and about 2,800 NATO personnel in total. The UK government says any deployment would only take place after fighting ends and at Ukraine's request. Meanwhile, Russian Defence Minister Andrey Belousov visited the Dnepr group command in the Kherson direction, as Ukraine said Russia was preparing an offensive on the city.
- US to cut Israel military aid by end of year , Trump says
US President Donald Trump said the US will end an agreement under which it provides Israel nearly $4 billion (€3.5 billion) in annual military aid by the end of the year. In a Fox interview, he said Israel is “fine” with the decision and can still buy US weapons “whenever they want.” The agreement was due to run until 2028. Israeli opposition leader Gadi Eisenkot criticized the move, saying Netanyahu “can no longer be trusted and must be replaced.” Trump made the remarks on US midterm election day and also confirmed a “minor” overnight US strike on an Iranian anti-aircraft facility.
- Trump says US ending US$3 . 8 billion in annual aid for Israel
Trump said in a Fox News interview that the US will end its annual US$3.8 billion in aid to Israel under a deal reached months ago, and that Netanyahu was 'fine' with it. The aid finances the purchase of about US$3.8 billion in weapons a year, and it was unclear when it would actually end. According to the Council on Foreign Relations, Israel has received more than US$300 billion in inflation-adjusted US economic and military aid since 1948. Israeli opposition leader Gadi Eisenkot criticized the move and said Netanyahu must be replaced, while Trump also cited criticism from Democratic Senate candidate Abdul El-Sayed as part of the reasoning.
- President Trump Unexpectedly Announces End to Annual Military Aid to Israel
In a phone interview with Fox News, President Trump said he and Prime Minister Netanyahu agreed the US will stop paying Israel's annual military aid, worth about $4 billion, by the end of 2026. He said Israel is a successful economy that no longer needs US financial support but can still buy US-made weapons, and linked the decision to US domestic politics, where Democrats have used the aid to criticize Republicans. He did not specify whether the halt covers direct funding, weapons transfers, or both. The current 10-year memorandum of understanding, signed in 2016 under the Obama administration, allocates $38 billion for fiscal years 2019–2028, according to an official White House document.
- After 14-Year Hiatus, China Restarts 'Sharp Knife' Drills with an ASEAN Country: What's Behind It
China and Indonesia have resumed their joint counter-terrorism exercise 'Sharp Knife' after a 14-year gap. The latest edition runs in Guangdong from late October to early November, is the third in the series after 2011 and 2012, and focuses on hostage rescue in mountainous terrain with coordination between troops and unmanned systems. According to the article, the two countries face shared threats mainly from jihadist groups such as the East Turkestan Islamic Party, which is backed by Turkey, and have expanded cooperation to transnational crime. The drills come as Indonesia plans to buy J-10C fighters from China; its defence minister confirmed the plan on 16 October 2025, and media reported the order was raised from 42 to 84 aircraft.

- SpaceX and Tesla face policy and governance risks after Democratic gains
Investing.com reports that the Democratic takeover of Congress is now a direct policy risk for SpaceX (SPCX) and Tesla (TSLA), which fell in the session by about 5% and 5.6% respectively. SpaceX faces pressure from its reliance on government contracts, tighter scrutiny of Starlink's military role, and proposed Texas data-center restrictions that could slow and raise the cost of its AI infrastructure. Morgan Stanley's improved outlook, with its 2027 revenue estimate raised to $175B and its free-cash-flow-positive forecast moved up to 2031, could be offset by a larger political discount. The article calls Tesla more vulnerable, since its valuation depends on autonomy and AI that could face tighter scrutiny, and a SpaceX combination would raise governance concerns, with Barclays estimating Musk could hold about 56% of voting power on roughly 37% of shares.
- Should You Forget VOO and Buy This Magnificent ETF Instead?
The article compares the Roundhill Magnificent Seven ETF (MAGS) with the Vanguard S&P 500 ETF (VOO) as the Nasdaq-100 has fallen about 9% from its early-October high on concerns over AI infrastructure costs. MAGS has averaged 36.9% annual returns since its April 2023 inception through September 30, but only about 12.2% over the past year, mostly due to Apple. The article suggests investors doubtful about AI payoffs may consider VOO instead, noting its portfolio is about 39.7% tech and spread across financials, pharmaceuticals and large-value stocks. It cites Vanguard research suggesting AI's biggest winners could be companies that use AI rather than those building it. VOO has averaged about 12% annually over the past five years, including the 2022 bear market.

- ELEKTROS Highlights Northern New York Lithium Potential Amid Growing Focus on Domestic Battery Supply
ELEKTROS Inc. (OTC PINK:ELEK) is conducting an initial, exploratory assessment of a possible hard-rock lithium property in northern New York close to the Canadian border, but has not acquired the property and no independently verified mineral resource or reserve exists.

The article cites remarks by Elon Musk and President Donald J. Trump on lithium-ion batteries and critical minerals in general, which do not refer to the company. A Benchmark Mineral Intelligence outlook cited by Benzinga suggests global lithium demand could more than triple by 2050, but this is an industry projection, not a company forecast.
