AI is everywhere, permanent; it has already expanded the possibilities of our world. Corrections will come, capital will be reallocated, and some business models will fail; that is the ordinary price of progress. What will not reverse is the deeper shift already under way: the permanent embedding of advanced computation into the productive core of life.

Large infrastructure booms have often developed in this uneven way. Railways, electricity and telecommunications networks all passed through phases of enthusiasm, overbuilding, financial stress and consolidation. The failures were real, but the

This month, China's Sea Legend Shipping launched the first regular container service through the Arctic, along what it calls the Ice Silk Road. "Beijing's real intention is to create a rationale for the presence of the People's Liberation Army Navy in the Arctic. The goal for China's Communist Party is to create its own Arctic Bastion so that Chinese navy ballistic missile submarines can threaten the U.S. from the northern hemisphere," according to James Fanell, a former U.S. Navy captain.

Jared Kushner is not asking Israel to trust Hamas. Nor is he proposing that Israel exchange security for a diplomatic achievement. His approach is built around a more rigorous equation: measurable disarmament, independent verification and phased Israeli withdrawal, with each Israeli step conditioned on implementation of the corresponding security commitment.

Netanyahu's substantive concern must remain at the center of any agreement. Israel cannot withdraw only to discover that Hamas has preserved tunnels, weapons, command structures or the capacity to rebuild them. October 7 made such a risk unacceptable.

The Mecca Joint Defense Agreement signed by Saudi Arabia, Turkey, and Pakistan on August 7 should serve as a wake-up call for the United States and Israel. While it is being touted by some as countries finally taking responsibility for their own defense instead of relying exclusively on the United States (as Saudi Arabia currently does), this arrangement looks set to produce "unintended consequences."

"Do the Government and Parliament not understand that singling out the world's only Jewish state, holding it to standards not applied to anywhere else, and falsely accusing Israel of committing these terrible crimes is bound to drive hostility towards people who are identified with Israel, which is the vast majority of the Jewish community?" — Lord Austin, speaking at a debate in the UK House of Lords, June 10, 2026.

We have now arrived at a time when European leaders and "elites" are, once again, in desperate need of deradicalization -- from being "pro-Hamas." Sometimes the sentiment is presented as "pro-Palestine," but it really has nothing to do with Palestinians

Is the war launched by Israel and the US against Iran already over bar the shouting? As far as the war that the Islamic Republic of Iran started in 1979, the answer is no. The regime created by Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini built its legitimacy around its claim of fighting against the "Great Satan" and its "Little" acolyte.

The wealth that Iran would obtain by extorting global energy markets would reinvigorate its support for proxy militias and terrorist groups, and, above all -- with continuing help from China, Russia, and North Korea -- the regime's ultimate insurance policy: its nuclear program, which is now reportedly tucked under Pickaxe Mountain.

Tehran believes its path to victory is not necessarily through defeating the United States militarily, but through managing the confrontation until President Donald Trump's term ends in January 2029. For the remaining time of Trump's presidency, the

The Economist declared on August 9 that "China Is Now the World's Great Oil Power," but that title belongs to the United States of America. The U.S. has been the world's largest producer of crude oil for eight straight years, from 2018 through 2025, and will almost certainly retain that crown indefinitely. And where was China in the rankings last year? Sixth place, with 4.3 million barrels per day.

And where was China in the rankings last year? Sixth place, with 4.3 million barrels per day. The other half of oil dominance is refining capacity. The Economist calls China the world's second-largest oil refiner, which by implication means that

Hamas's latest statements suggest that the terrorist group has no intention of disappearing from the Palestinian political scene. Eighty percent of Palestinians surveyed wanted Mahmoud Abbas, president of the Palestinian Authority, to resign. Among those who said they would vote in a presidential contest between Abbas and Khaled Mashaal, a Hamas leader, Mashaal would crush Abbas.

Is Hamas preparing to contest the Palestinian parliamentary election scheduled for late November? If so, the United States and its European allies need to make one thing clear immediately: Hamas must not be allowed to participate. After October 7, Hamas
