"To get teams the critical data they need to make quick, accurate decisions about rising threats, we’re introducing a new dark web intelligence capability in Google Threat Intelligence." https://t.co/qGKDWJjI36 < identify risks faster and get ahead of adversaries
"Rare Earths, Vulcan, and Government Equity Stakes" https://t.co/O8xyNepv2V via @CatoInstitute @DeHavenTad "The case for speed is not a case for ownership—and the case for national security is not a case for normalizing a model in which politically favored firms receive...
Pod party on this F-15EX: Sniper targeting pod, AAQ-13 Nav pod w/terrain following radar, and Legion IRST pod. F-15EX is the bolt on sensor king of fighters.
Land-Based Marine Corps F-35Cs Are Now Moving Towards The Middle East The F-35Cs, operating from land bases, look set to join a Marine combat capability that is about to balloon in size in the Middle East. Lots of movements underway, updating live:...
"In effect... the United States ceased to be not just an ally, but even a neutral mediator for Ukraine. A mediator does not take a position pre-aligned with one of the parties, nor does it use leverage against the other...
I’m proud to share @KodiakRobotics, @epirus and @GD_LandSystems are leading the way in showcasing what Physical AI looks like on the front lines. We unveiled the Leonidas autonomous ground vehicle this morning at AUSA’s Global Force. This is a defining moment...
Most of these AI solutions right now for the cybersecurity industry are utilizing frontier models. That should scare a lot of folks - customer data going into extremely new technology platforms that they literally state their new models, features/functionality are...
Asked Claude for this (heavily guided the framework myself and used Claude for format). Seems about right. Basically something like JCPOA is possible and the new issues are impossible to bridge the gap. https://t.co/YnSNjDjGMw
It appears that today saw one of the largest drone attacks in history, more than 800 Russian drones launched, not including the massive missile strikes carried out overnight.
JUST IN: 🇮🇷🇺🇸 Iran outlines key demands for any US negotiations: • Guarantees against future military action. • Compensation for war-related losses. • Formal control over the Strait of Hormuz. • No restrictions on its ballistic missile program….
NightBeacon AI today identified an insanely cool phishing email attack that showed up on GTI/other sources as benign/non malicious. How it worked: NightBeacon determined the tonality was creating urgency (key indication of social engineering), it looks for any URLs, it went...
Carlyle's Stavridis sees a US-Iran ceasefire "within weeks" A pause with BS talks? Maybe. Trump needs an outcome he can sell as strength Iran has no reason to give him that unless it gets something real in return. The most likely outcome is theater. #Iran...
Major Star Destroyer vibes from this incredible shot of the Ford posted by CENTCOM: https://t.co/sGdnHeFYiI
Cheap drones, using mobile phone components, commercial off-the-shelf electronics, guidance sensors and a cheap 550cc two-stroke petrol engine, have literally defeated the entire might of US defence spending. When cheap cameras, and more autonomous scalable AI capabilities emerge, we're in real...
According to @Polymarket, there is a 55% chance US forces enter Iran by the end of April. Forget Trump’s talk of the art of the deal. He takes his orders from Jerusalem. https://t.co/GgrtwQc8kz
The New "Pax Silica" Fund The Trump Administration is establishing a Supply Chain Fund. The "Pax Silica" fund will support energy, semiconductor, and critical materials. The US will commit $250M, and partners will include Singapore, the UAE, Qatar, and Sweden. The...
YES And this is what happens when you pull their pentagon passes and security clearances…. https://t.co/oQFBy98VJw
This is confounding. We are fighting a WAR against Iran but letting them increase their revenue by over $500 million...
As Japan moves to downgrade status of China ties, Beijing moves to blame Tokyo On Tuesday, China’s foreign ministry said comments by Japanese leader Sanae Takaichi had sparked anger in China and breached a “red line”. https://t.co/hPal9FNVTW
If Lebanon's government thinks this will end Israel's invasion of its territory, it is very mistaken.
They simply ignore the rare defeat in court. There is no rule of law. Pentagon Further Limits Press Access Following Court Loss https://t.co/FsytLIDkcc
US authorities have turned their attention to routers made outside the US, suggesting they're a national security risk. https://t.co/FxRBqkwa6x
Fascinating read on company building the first space 'fighter/pursuit' satellite for in-orbit combat - the True Anomaly Jackal. Agile and manoeuvrable - but left unsaid - what does it do when it gets on an enemy satellite's 'six o'clock'? Kinetic?...
One of the foundations of the US reserve currency status is the 1970s Nixon-KSA agreement that the US provides military protection in return for recycling of Petrodollars into the US bond market. When President Trump says things like that "we...
#HowThingsWork? World War II Landmine. If you had stepped on one this is what would have happened. #WarTech #History https://t.co/M6vv22Mf7e
This would be an important dynamic, if it were to continue and GROW in size. AND, if the US were to acquiesce to this new arrangement. Then again, President Trump did say that the "me and the ayatollah will jointly"...
This is being framed as censorship but it’s actually just prosaic advice for language relating to photo-interpretation. We just accused CENTCOM of PAC’ing a Bahraini neighborhood, but one still needs to respect analytic tradecraft.
Trump is treating Iran like a transactional adversary when it's a revolutionary state, says @ksadjadpour After three weeks of bombing, there is no real path to normalization The best case is a return to a Cold War #Iran #Trump #Hormuz #KarimSadjadpour #Geopolitics...
Trump blocked the bipartisan deal to fund all of Homeland Security except ICE. This is Trump’s shutdown. https://t.co/MxVPDtgIwz
More DoD media manipulation. Watch for a decision this on the NYT press pass case. Hope for an order to vacant the DoD rules: Pentagon tightens controls over Stars and Stripes after calling it “woke” : NPR https://t.co/xb0UyBKuPb

GEN. MATTIS: “.. Iran right now, if we declared victory, they would now say they own the strait. .. You’d see a tax for every ship that goes through. .. We’re in a tough spot, ladies and gentlemen. .. I...
Important nuance before assuming the stage is set for US-Iran negotiations: ❓ How unified is Iran’s top leadership at present — across the legislative branch, the military (especially the IRGC), and the religious establishment? ❓ Does Parliament Speaker Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf hold...
Lux's @brett_mcgurk current POV: (1) we're only halfway thru stated plan of 4-6 weeks (2) Occam's razor: Trump is calming markets + buying time. He will give diplomacy serious try, while advancing US military + creating more options, and continuing non-power...
Just over 3 weeks and the U.S.-Israel have taken out over 70% of Iran's ballistic missile launchers.
I agree, Israel is going after the Iranian regime leaders, Basij, police, security forces, checkpoints and methods the regime used to kill protesters..they are calling IRGC officers to tell them they are dead men walking…
“Ending the War Doesn’t End the Crisis”: Middle East Ceasefire Risks | A... https://t.co/bDlWKuJTVz via @YouTube
Trump extended his deadline for Iran to reopen the Strait of Hormuz, pumping the brakes on the war crimes he threatened to commit on Iran's civilian power infrastructure. Whether there were actually talks w/ Iran or someone convinced Trump to...
Sal gives us a clinic on the reason that the US Navy has not cleared the Strait.
No matter how you slice it, the United States stands to gain the most from the Hormuz crisis—but keep the timeframes separate, or the picture gets muddled fast. 👇👇👇
F-22, B-52 Flight Testing Over The Mojave Showcases Advanced USAF Developments We've gotten our best look yet at new stealthy underwing tanks and sensor pods for the F-22, and the USAF's new AGM-181 nuclear cruise missile. https://t.co/sd23IzPPeJ
NEW from @zackwhittaker @lorenzofb: Someone has posted an exploit kit that can hack hundreds of millions of iPhones to Github. The hacking tool, known as DarkSword, targets out-of-date and older iOS devices. Apple recommends updating to the newest OS now. https://t.co/tJfqYWDOe1
Truly hope that this is really almost over. But can't help but remember all the way back to a month ago when the Trump admin was "negotiating" with Iran while accumulating military assets in the region. More marines will also arrive in...
Europe is supporting US efforts in Iran, they just don't want to be seen doing so publicly: https://t.co/wmNKRdls6g
If the possible deployment of US boots on the ground to Iran in an effort to manage/control the energy assets come as a surprise to you…you have not been paying attention
Ukraine's military is moving into the future faster than any other on earth. Faster than the US. Faster than Israel.
I can't keep track. Is Trump winning because he achieved his goals and Iran is now entirely contained and Hormuz is open by next week? Or is Trump winning because he meant to trigger the largest energy crisis in history to flex...
From the Palantir bros to the Secretary of War to the President, everyone involved must change their thinking about Iran or the next set of conflict outcomes will be as disastrous as the first. "But I Did Have Breakfast: Kill Chains,...
Ukraine have now demonstrated they can design and build the weapons to cripple Russia and win this war. They deserve the funding to see this through to completion. Fund Ukraine, and they will win.
"they [IRGC] are all confused and have no idea who is talking to whom. Their chain of command is broken."
