15.03.2025Day Synthetic Nude Weaponization Exposed As Drug Ring Falls
Morning headlines revealed America's allies developing a parallel strategy to counter Trump's threatened tariffs on European goods. This follows yesterday's confession in the Tarwekamp case and continues the week's focus on transatlantic tensions.

By midday, reporting shifted to a disturbing technological trend - dozens of women becoming victims of AI "undressing apps," with a helpline expressing concerns about this growing form of harassment. A breakthrough in crime enforcement came later as authorities arrested fifty suspects linked to the largest cocaine seizure in Dutch history.

The evening saw US strikes against Houthi targets in Yemen with the message "your time is up," while protests erupted in Belgrade with hundreds of thousands demonstrating. These developments occurred against the backdrop of the coalition crisis resolution from previous days, with PM Schoof maintaining support for Ukraine despite resistance from coalition partners.
