ISIS has mounted fewer attacks in Iraq and Syria since 2025 but @CarolineRose8 of the @TheSoufanCenter says this shows a "strategic recalibration" not "diminished capacity." And ISIS's activities are harder to detect following the U.S. withdrawal. Link to her op-ed in 🧵
Europe is adapting to Moscow’s increasingly brazen and kinetic operations. The US should catch up, says @NikkieLyubarsky from the @TheSoufanCenter. Part of a special series of op-eds we will be running during the Global Security Forum in Doha, Qatar. Link in 🧵
Hello from Doha where @DefenseOne is partnering with @TheSoufanCenter Global Security Forum. Keep an eye out for exclusive op-eds on the changing nature of security partnerships.
“Why the ‘narrow,’ ‘short-term’ sanctions reversal for Russia is neither” our story from March, predicting today’s announcement that the US will buy diesel from Putin’s regime
Replying to @vinn_ayy
Today I’m stepping down from xAI.
I’m tired of watching men confuse the power to build something with the right to turn it loose on the rest of us.
The people behind ChatGPT and Anthropic are gambling with our children’s future. They call it progress. I’d like to know what good progress is when there’s nothing left worth handing down.
Every lab says it has to get there before the other guy. That’s not responsibility. That’s two fools racing toward a cliff, each afraid the other will get there first.
I believe in making damn good things and standing behind them. You put your name on something, you own what comes after. You don’t get to burn the place down and leave your children holding the deed.
We were supposed to leave this world better than we found it.
I won’t help them finish it off.
just kidding, I make cowboy boots
