Israel sent a warning shot; Erdoğan finally got it

Turkey's quiet push to entrench itself near Aleppo forced Israel's hand. The strike worked, and now is not the time to accept limits on Israeli freedom of action – in this neighborhood, people tend to listen only once actions start speaking.

How the Palestinian Authority's 'pay-for-slay' facilitated Oct. 7

AI has learned to trick us. This could end like Chernobyl

Lies, circumvented safeguards and secret instructions for operating under our noses.
