CNN Portugal commentator Jorge Silva Carvalho analyzed a publication by the Economist about the Russian president, Vladimir Putin, in which Putin's fear of being killed is discussed. The article states that in the West, there is no understanding of what 25 years of continuous power do to a person.

Silva Carvalho also commented on the resignation of the US Army Secretary, which allegedly occurred due to disagreements with Pete Hegseth, the US Secretary of Defense. This analysis was made within the scope of CNN Portugal's comments on international geopolitical developments.
