In reflecting on the dozens of prices I’ve edited for the TechCrunch Global Affairs Project, I’ve come to a simple conclusion: the U.S. needs a technology doctrine that would allow it to leverage its tech assets for geopolitical gain. techcrunch.com/2022/04/10/the…

orban getting absolutely hammered, as expected, in hungary. after 16 years of incompetence, mismanagement and europe’s most kleptocratic governance by a long margin…a historic win for the hungarian people.

Taiwan’s deepening political polarization increases its vulnerability to exploitation by China. Beijing stands to benefit when Taiwan’s internal divisions undermine trust in democratic institutions or raise doubts in Washington about Taipei’s strategic reliability. 2/

Bibi has been fruitlessly begging US admins to bomb Iran and unleash the animal spirits of regime change for decades, like some shitty startup striking out with traditional VCs, over and over again — and like the savvy CEO of a shitty startup idea, he finally found a dumb-money septuagenarian family office to fork over a huge check. Genuinely embarrassing shit.

Actually it’s worse: a private company now has incredibly powerful zero-day exploits of almost every software project you’ve ever heard of, and the government is telling *basically every major firm in the economy* not to work with them. Historians will gasp at the idiocy.

An underrated feature of this situation: a private company now has incredibly powerful zero-day exploits of almost every software project you've heard of. And Hegseth and Emil Michael have ordered the government not to in any capacity work with Anthropic.

Two weeks ago, the Hungarian opposition was bracing for a false flag operation, an "emergency" that would allow Viktor Orban to turn the tide or even cancel an election he is losing. Now it appears to have arrived
Szabolcs Panyi@panyiszabolcs

💥What we’ve all feared is happening: Hungarian Russia expert András Rácz wrote three days ago about a potential Russia-backed false flag attack in Serbia targeting the gas pipeline to Hungary. The same information had already reached multiple journalists, including myself, weeks earlier, from sources connected to Hungarian government circles. Now Viktor Orbán has announced that Serbian president Aleksandar Vučić informed him about “explosives of devastating power” found at the gas pipeline connecting the two countries. Orbán and his propaganda machine are already amplifying the news everywhere, with the prime minister convening his security cabinet. It remains unclear what measures the government might take using this alleged false flag operation as a pretext. But if the second part of the information we received also proves true, Orbán could declare a state of emergency, significantly affecting the election campaign—which he is currently losing—and potentially disrupting the organization of the April 12 election. The opposition Tisza Party has been widening its lead to 15–20 points, if not more. Orbán accuses them of being "Ukrainian agents" for months. His propaganda would very soon link the Serbian false-flag both to Ukraine and the Tisza Party, I have no doubts about that. I encourage all foreign reporters covering the Hungarian election to pay close attention and not fall for the government’s propaganda or the narratives pushed by its pundits on the Orbán government payroll, including here on X. The situation could soon be very serious.

Interesting detail from @brett_mcgurk this morning on the U.S. military’s highly sophisticated rescue capabilities: He told @jaketapper that when Iranian President Raisi’s helicopter went missing in 2024, Iran secretly called the U.S. for help.

Really can't stress how "We destroyed their navy and their air force!" is grasping at straws. Iran's surface fleet was a mix of catamaran corvettes, frigates from the 1970s, newer frigates that barely floated, and cargo ships converted into drone carriers. Their air force barely existed. The real damage has been inflicted on Iran's missile program but the admin has a hard time punching that up because the war is a month old and Iran is 1) still firing missiles, and 2) still doing damage with those missiles.

6:49am: sudden spike in oil futures trading. no news. no announcement. nothing public. 7:05am: trump announces a pause on iran strikes. markets move. someone knew. 16 minutes early. $580 million in contracts. the corruption is staggering.

“The high quality of life in Taiwan and the absence of day-to-day dangers create a complacency in the population that will continue to challenge the government’s efforts to instill vigilance.” GMF expert @BonnieGlaser's progress report "Taiwan's Push for Societal Resilience," co-authored with Eurasia Group's @amanda_hsiao, was mentioned in the WSJ's latest article "Taiwan's All-Hands-on-Deck Plan to Fend Off China."

It’s amazing to me how many resources must be devoted to geopolitical strategy, intelligence gathering, and war planning in the US and Russia; and yet the two most high-profile wars of the last five years involve a military superpower attempting a blitzkrieg decapitation of an opponent and appearing shocked and stunned and flummoxed when the attacked adversary doesn’t surrender but actually fights back
