This collection of editorials captures a series of urgent warnings across global issues. Chris R. Glass writes that America is “losing scientists” because its outdated visa system wrongly assumes researchers will “endure any visa lottery or processing delay,” threatening the nation’s long-standing scientific edge.
The Boston Globe editorial board argues that “pharmacy deserts” are worsening as closures rise, insisting that while payment reform is needed, it “can’t be the only solution.” In the Financial Times, Martin Sandbu says Europe must confront whether it can remain tied to the U.S., warning that President Donald Trump has pressured Ukraine toward “a superficial and unjust peace,” proving the transatlantic relationship may be “over.”
And the Haaretz editorial board condemns Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s request for a pardon as an act of “chutzpah,” noting that he “isn’t willing to admit anything” while still attacking the justice system. Together, these voices argue that ineffective policies and political failures are driving instability in science, healthcare, foreign policy, and governance.
