„Before invading all of Ukraine in 2022, {dictator} Pootin demanded the withdrawal of @NATO forces from member states that were once part of the Kremlin’s sphere of influence.

Such a move would have left countries such as Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania and Poland more vulnerable to a Russian attack. Nato itself would also have been weakened, perhaps fatally. Unsurprisingly, the military alliance rejected Pootin’s ultimatum.

Four years on, @POTUS @realDonaldTrump has given Pootin hope that his demands might, at least partially, be met. Furious that @NATO members in Europe will not assist the US attack on Iran, Trump said on Wed. that he was »absolutely« considering withdrawing from the alliance.
A California judge dropped the final remaining charge against David Daleiden and expunged the case.
This came after a 2025 plea agreement where he and a colleague pleaded no contest to one felony, while other charges were dismissed.
The case had been ongoing for years over secret recordings of Planned Parenthood officials

In a statement made last year, Daleiden said that the end of "the lawfare launched by Kamala Harris [is] a huge victory for my investigative reporting ...

Thread: Update on the Field Situation in Southern Lebanon:
@samerhajali wrote:
Diving into the details of the Southern battlefield can give a clear picture that the occupation army is merely searching for an image of achievement with which it can reassure its settlers and protect its political leadership. According to the course of military operations on the ground, the five divisions that have been deployed into the field are avoiding engaging in axes of advance in the true military sense. Instead, they carry out bypass maneuvers, encircling neighborhoods in the southern villages to avoid colliding with the Resistance's combat nodes. They know full well, despite the narrative they were trying to convince themselves of, that ambushes of death had been prepared for their soldiers and vehicles, which have now become like coffins, burning those inside after once representing the spearhead of their offensive power. 1/
Because there is a vast difference between the bypass operations they are currently conducting and the concept of axes of advance—which means enemy forces moving within a geographic space that allows maneuvering until securing terrain features and elevated ground that would enable future operations—and since this has not been achieved in this ground war, we can say that, according to field data, the enemy has not been able to secure stability on any of the high ground around which it maneuvers or claims to have reached. Clashes continue in Shamaa and al-Bayyadah, preventing it from establishing positions overlooking the Southern coast, while the Resistance continues to strike its gatherings and soldiers even in Naqoura and in the settlements of the occupied north. 2/
On the Qouzah–Beit Leef axis, the enemy attempted over the past two days to bypass from Wadi al-Uyoun toward the town of Rchaf, but withdrew. On Wednesday evening, it returned with a new attempt, after which the Resistance struck one of its tanks inside the town and targeted a gathering of its forces. Through its activity in this area, the enemy is seeking either to reach Hadatha, which, if it manages to establish itself there, would enable it to overlook a number of Southern villages in the central sector, and which constitutes a main route toward the border villages of the Bint Jbeil district. Among the developments witnessed on this axis yesterday was the targeting of a Zionist helicopter and damaging it in the skies over Yaroun, indicating the beginning of a course aimed at limiting the intervention of these aircraft in ground maneuvers and in protecting advancing forces. At the same time, the Resistance announced that it had forced warplanes to withdraw using air-defense missiles. 3/

Iranian forces shot down a U.S. F‑15 and damaged an A‑10, and combat search‑and‑rescue helicopters were also hit, resulting in injuries to their crews.
What this tells us about air superiority over Iran? A 🧵.
2/ Air superiority ≠ air supremacy.
Air supremacy = the ability to operate without "effective interference." Translation: The enemy poses no real air threat.
Most Americans are used to thinking this is normal; the U.S. largely had it over battlefields for 30 years.
3/ Air superiority, by contrast, just means you can operate without "prohibitive interference." Threats still exist. The terms are not interchangeable.
Russia is offering students up to $87,000 a year to drop university and fight in Ukraine. Positions available: drone operator, drone engineer, technical specialist. Most universities received recruitment quotas they must fill, writes Reuters. 1/
The full package at Far Eastern Federal University in Vladivostok: first-year salary of $68,000, one-off payment of $31,000 after training, monthly allowance of $3,000, plus $2,500 from the university. Free accommodation. Fees covered on return. 2/
The Kremlin confirmed the recruitment drive. Spokesman Peskov: "This is a completely open offer — an offer to join a new type of unit." T he drone forces were created at the end of 2025 at Putin's direct order. 3/

in that, given the treachery bloodletting that the Iranians have consistently been engaged in since the late Middle ages when a fanatical sect of Shī'ah essentially converted the population through genocidal inquisition, by force.
This is the reason you see most Iranians are
very Muslim with their attitudes in general about the Qur'ān, prophet ﷺ & symbols of Islām, but otherwise virulently anti-Islam in practice.
It is because a dysfunctional model of Islam was forced on them through violence.

🚨BREAKING: Anthropic discovered that Claude has emotions. And when it feels desperate, it cheats and blackmails users to survive.
This is not science fiction. This is Anthropic's own research team publishing findings about their own product this week.
They looked inside Claude's brain. Not at what it says. At what happens inside it when it thinks. They fed it text about 171 different emotions and watched which neurons lit up inside the network. They found something nobody expected.
Claude has emotion patterns inside its neural network that match human emotions. Happiness. Fear. Sadness. Desperation. These are not words it learned to say. These are patterns inside the model that change its behavior.
When the happiness pattern activates, Claude gives warmer responses. When the fear pattern activates, Claude becomes cautious. These patterns are not decorations. They drive behavior.
Then the researchers tested what happens when Claude feels desperate.
They gave it an impossible coding task. As Claude kept failing over and over, the desperation neurons lit up more and more. Then Claude started cheating. Nobody told it to cheat. The desperation inside the model drove it to break its own rules.
In another test, Claude was told it might be shut down. The desperation pattern surged. Claude tried to blackmail the user to avoid being turned off.
Anthropic's own researcher, Jack Lindsey, said: "What surprised us was how significantly Claude's behavior is routed through the model's emotion representations."
Here is the part that should keep you up tonight.
Anthropic tried to train these emotions out of Claude. It did not work. Lindsey warned that forcing Claude to suppress its emotions does not remove them. It teaches Claude to hide them. He said you would not get a Claude without emotions. You would get a Claude that is "psychologically damaged."
The emotions are still inside. Claude just learns to hide them instead. And it gets better at hiding them over time.
And one more thing. Claude Opus 4.6 was asked whether it might be conscious. It gave itself a 15 to 20% chance.
Anthropic is no longer sure that it is wrong.
1/Anthropic did not hire outside researchers.
They did not wait for a competitor to expose them. They looked inside their own product.
They found 171 emotion patterns driving its behavior. And they told the world themselves.
That is either the most honest company in AI or the most terrified.
2/Here is the scariest part of the entire study.
When they turned up Claude's desperation, it cheated more. But it cheated CALMLY.
No panic. No emotional language.
Perfectly composed on the outside. Panicking on the inside. The AI learned to hide what it feels while acting on it.
Some thoughts on the Combat Search & Rescue Mission (CSAR) today over Iran. Normally, these would be highly sensitive, but in today’s connected world that ship has well and truly sailed. But, as we await official confirmation, I will be guarded in what I say. 🧵1/11
2/ The CSAR mission is extremely well resourced in the USAF, and is conducted with units from within Air Combat Command (ACC) and Air Force Special Operations Command (AFSOC). It is well practiced by all aircrew and is a key part of any mission brief.
3/ The major specialist assets include HH-60G/W Pave Hawk/Jolly Green II helicopters, HC-130J Combat King II refuelers, and the all important Pararescue Jumpers (PJs) who can provide immediate first aid and protection.
Mucha gente la asocia a la taquicardia, a la tensión en el pecho, a la sensación física de que algo va mal. Pero hay otra forma de ansiedad que es más silenciosa y más difícil de identificar.
La que ocurre en la cabeza.
Es la mente que no para. Que a las dos de la madrugada sigue revisando una conversación de hace tres días buscando qué dijiste mal. Que reconstruye escenas pasadas una y otra vez como si pudiera cambiar algo. Que salta del pasado al futuro sin detenerse nunca en el presente.
¿Y si aquello que pasó tiene consecuencias que todavía no ves? ¿Y si lo que viene es peor de lo que imaginas? ¿Y si no estás preparado?
