MOLLE & PALS: How military gear reflects America's civil-military divide

Since the Gates Commission established the all-volunteer force in 1973, the relationship between American soldiers and civilian society has shifted dramatically. The MOLLE/PALS load-carrying system โ€” a wartime defence technology โ€” has become a symbol of the widening civil-military divide in the United States. The piece is the third instalment in a series marking America's 250th anniversary.

Does the gap between the professional military and civilian society pose a threat to democracy?

Moscow residents unable to book foreign passport appointments online for over a month

Muscovites have been unable to book online appointments for foreign passport applications for more than a month, with the government website continuously showing no available slots. The cause has not been officially explained, but the sustained shortage may reflect surging demand for travel documents. The issue has prompted widespread complaints from residents of the Russian capital.

Is Russia deliberately restricting access to foreign passports?

Medieval knights didn't need cranes โ€” armoured combat relied on skill and technique

The popular image of knights helplessly toppling over in armour and needing cranes to mount their horses is a myth. Historical sources, fencing treatises and modern research all show that medieval warriors were highly trained athletes whose combat relied on precision and technique rather than brute force alone. Heavy swords and plate armour were designed to be used with skill, not to hinder movement.

Should schools teach more about the realities of medieval combat instead of perpetuating myths?

Three EU food quality labels you can actually trust when shopping

Labels like "natural" or "traditional" on food products carry no legal guarantee of authenticity. Three EU quality marks do offer real assurance: Protected Designation of Origin (PDO), Protected Geographical Indication (PGI) and Traditional Speciality Guaranteed (TSG). Each confirms that a product meets strictly defined criteria related to quality, origin or production method.

Should EU food quality labels be mandatory and prominent on packaging?

EU Funds Chinese Drone Parts for Ukraine Despite Asia Dependency Concerns

The EU has agreed to fund the purchase of Chinese-made drone components for Ukraine, despite Brussels' stated goal of reducing dependence on Asian suppliers. Urgent battlefield needs forced EU officials to set aside their usual procurement rules, according to the Financial Times. The decision highlights the time pressure Kyiv faces in its ongoing conflict with Russia.

UK plans overnight social media curfew for 16โ€“17-year-olds

The UK government has unveiled plans for a default overnight social media curfew targeting 16- and 17-year-olds, making apps like Instagram, TikTok and YouTube unavailable by default during night hours. The move follows last month's full ban on social media access for under-16s โ€” the second such national ban after Australia's. The UK is positioning itself among the world's most restrictive regulators of teen social media use.

Should governments impose overnight social media curfews on teenagers?

A landmark Indiaโ€“UK free trade agreement has taken effect, granting zero-duty market access for nearly 99% of India's exports to the United Kingdom. At the same time, US senators have proposed legislation imposing 100% tariffs on India over its continued purchases of Russian oil. The twin developments place India at the centre of competing global trade pressures.
