Trump’s UN Bluster Didn’t Impress Xi, Putin or Iran (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Donald Trump loves playing the tough guy. The president postured from the podium at the United Nations this week. He threatened to send the Iranian regime “into hell”; he gloated about his appropriation of Venezuelan oil, declaring, “to the victor belong the spoils.” But the leader who visited Trump two days later, China’s Xi Jinping, was presumably unimpressed. Bravado notwithstanding, Trump finds himself in a stalemate with China — and confronting a cast of committed rivals that refuse to yiel
The US Can Slow Down AI and Stay Ahead of China (opens the original)

AI Is Now Power—and America’s Lead Is Shrinking (opens the original)
Read excerpt
The AI age is getting very real. Not so long ago, the impacts of AI on politics, war and statecraft were still mostly hypothetical. Today, they’re arriving with jarring force and speed. In January, US forces kicked down the door of the Venezuelan despot Nicolás Maduro in a daring, AI-assisted raid. In February and March, the US and Israel used AI-powered targeting and intelligence tools to orchestrate a high-intensity blitz against Iran. With spring came the Mythos moment — the emergence of Anth
