Some Middle Eastern powers are waking up to the threat to their sovereignty posed by a US system that consistently privileges Israel’s priorities.
It is early days, but for a Gulf state leader to call for a Gulf security pact that includes Iran,
as Badr Albusaidi, Oman’s foreign minister, did this week,
is a potential Berlin Wall moment.
The implication is that the US should no longer be the security provider for the Gulf.
Iran is viewed with deep suspicion acro…

As Trump fans the flames of a world on fire, can diplomacy take back control?
Amid the chaos, havoc and war caused by a capricious and amoral US president, countries are waking up to the dangers of being excluded and abused by America

Filing: Chip startup Powerlattice raises $86M to ease AI’s power crunch
The new funding nearly triples what the Vancouver, Wash.-based semiconductor startup had raised when it came out of stealth last year. Powerlattice says its tech can cut AI chip energy use by more than half.

A spud-tacular potato harvest in Japan showed that banner years are still in the almanac even as climate uncertainty continues to make farming more challenging. 

Pete Hegseth has always assumed that experts are idiots,
believed he’s the smartest guy around,
and as a result ignores them and ends up breaking stuff (and failing in the process).
The entire Trump administration’s motto mirrors Mark Zuckerberg’s adage to
“move fast, break things,”
in this case literally.
Hegseth’s aggression, recklessness and blatant disregard for expertise is nothing new.
When he served as a 1st Lieutenant in Iraq in 2005-2006, …
