"Interesting thread about Turkey's evolving ballistic missile program. As @shahpas notes Ankara is on a collision course with Tel Aviv and its developing strike capabilities raise complications for Israeli missile defense. We spoke recently about Chinese arms sales to the region and I recommend following his analysis"

"Ahmad al-Sharaa experienced the bitter reality of trying to make peace with Israel or even be left alone by it. Even U.S. officials told their Israeli counterparts "you cant embark on a new war every few days" which is not how Israelis see it"

"The reason that Israel is losing narrative control (mostly among liberals but also other demographics including younger conservatives) has nothing to do with an intergalactic Qatari conspiracy and arguably Israeli conduct is not even the worst it has been in history. The reason is simply that we used to live in a highly centralized information environment where it was possible to control a few chokepoints of information and thus shape a narrative a particular way. This is how older generations developed such a wildly positive view of Israeli actions which were heavily sanitized by the few"

"By the way if you want to know why Israel is so obsessed with breaking off and occupying southern Syria it has nothing to do with protecting the Druze or border security or other narratives now being put forward for public consumption. The territory comprises the ancient Jewish kingdom of Bashan which extremist Israeli leaders (including members of the current cabinet) have talked about in the past as compromising the natural borders of the state according to its Bronze Age iteration which they aim to restore. Even specific military units and operations in southern Syria have invoked this"

"Based on statements and actions of Israeli officials it seems highly plausible that Israel could make good on its threat to kill Syrian interim president Ahmad al-Sharaa. This would likely result in a further dissolution of Syria that would likewise be an Israeli interest"

"I was in an unnamed third world country lately and was surprised to see many people avidly learning and speaking Mandarin as a means of obtaining economic opportunity. I always considered it the most difficult language and eschewed it for that reason but I started playing around with it after out of curiosity and its actually not that bad (3000 characters is a bit onerous but doable with time but the grammar is extremely simple which makes up for it). English will still be the lingua franca of globalization but I can see the world bifurcating into large linguistic zones"
