"The upcoming NATO Summit, on 7–8 July 2026 in Ankara, will test whether NATO once again remains within the realm of “expressing Alliance unity,” or whether it takes real steps toward a coherent, organized, and carefully designed doctrine of deterrence and response to hybrid threats. Drones, spoofing, jamming, cyberattacks, and limited acts of sabotage are effective precisely because they prolong decision-making, increase the costs of response, and leave room for political disagreement over whether Article 5 should be recognized as applicable. This should not lead to the conclusion that the importance of Article 5 ought to be weakened. Rather, it shows that NATO must finally build a bridge leading toward it earlier: through resilience, consultations, a shared situational picture, and a rapid multidomain response."

"State-backed price floors and long-term offtake agreements would be essential to the project's viability, implying a long-term fiscal commitment that requires treating rare earth development as strategic infrastructure rather than a commercial venture."

"Turkey claims that Beylikova contains 694 million tons of rare earth ore. However, this is a resource estimate rather than a proven reserve, which requires independent verification that the deposit is technically and economically viable for extraction. The deposit, therefore, does not appear in authoritative international reserve rankings."

I told @CBCNews that using CIA assets instead of diplomats is meant to increase pressure on the Cuban regime and signal Washington’s seriousness. CIA is exploring whether elements within the Cuban power structure are willing to negotiate a political shift. cbc.ca/news/world/cub…

"Turkey's defense sector has grown substantially over the past decade in spending, industrial output, exports and overseas deployments. The SAHA 2026 fair, the SIPRI data and the recent export transactions reflect a sustained and coherent policy of building indigenous defense capability. A defining feature of this policy is the degree to which the Turkish arms companies are intertwined with the Turkish presidency."👇
