An Airbus-led group of Spanish companies presented today the industrial programme of the @EjercitoAire's new Integrated Combat Training System. Based on a co-development agreement between Airbus, as the prime contractor, and @TUSAS_EN, as the manufacturer of the Hürjet training aircraft, the programme will cover the entire advanced training process for Spanish fighter pilots.

Because we get asked a lot.

The Technological Republic, in brief.

1. Silicon Valley owes a moral debt to the country that made its rise possible. The engineering elite of Silicon Valley has an affirmative obligation to participate in the defense of the nation.

2. We must rebel against the tyranny of the apps. Is the iPhone our greatest creative if not crowning achievement as a civilization? The object has changed our lives, but it may also now be limiting and constraining our sense of the possible.

3. Free email is not enough. The decadence of a culture or civilization, and indeed its ruling class, will be forgiven only if that culture is capable of delivering economic growth and security for the public.

4. The limits of soft power, of soaring rhetoric alone, have been exposed. The ability of free and democratic societies to prevail requires something more than moral appeal. It requires hard power, and hard power in this century will be built on software.

5. The question is not whether A.I. weapons will be built; it is who will build them and for what purpose. Our adversaries will not pause to indulge in theatrical debates about the merits of developing technologies with critical military and national security applications. They will proceed.

6. National service should be a universal duty. We should, as a society, seriously consider moving away from an all-volunteer force and only fight the next war if everyone shares in the risk and the cost.

7. If a U.S. Marine asks for a better rifle, we should build it; and the same goes for software. We should as a country be capable of continuing a debate about the appropriateness of military action abroad while remaining unflinching in our commitment to those we have asked to step into harm’s way.

8. Public servants need not be our priests. Any business that compensated its employees in the way that the federal government compensates public servants would struggle to survive.

9. We should show far more grace towards those who have subjected themselves to public life. The eradication of any space for forgiveness—a jettisoning of any tolerance for the complexities and contradictions of the human psyche—may leave us with a cast of characters at the helm we will grow to regret.

10. The psychologization of modern politics is leading us astray. Those who look to the political arena to nourish their soul and sense of self, who rely too heavily on their internal life finding expression in people they may never meet, will be left disappointed.

11. Our society has grown too eager to hasten, and is often gleeful at, the demise of its enemies. The vanquishing of an opponent is a moment to pause, not rejoice.

12. The atomic age is ending. One age of deterrence, the atomic age, is ending, and a new era of deterrence built on A.I. is set to begin.

13. No other country in the history of the world has advanced progressive values more than this one. The United States is far from perfect. But it is easy to forget how much more opportunity exists in this country for those who are not hereditary elites than in any other nation on the planet.

14. American power has made possible an extraordinarily long peace. Too many have forgotten or perhaps take for granted that nearly a century of some version of peace has prevailed in the world without a great power military conflict. At least three generations — billions of people and their children and now grandchildren — have never known a world war.

15. The postwar neutering of Germany and Japan must be undone. The defanging of Germany was an overcorrection for which Europe is now paying a heavy price. A similar and highly theatrical commitment to Japanese pacifism will, if maintained, also threaten to shift the balance of power in Asia.

16. We should applaud those who attempt to build where the market has failed to act. The culture almost snickers at Musk’s interest in grand narrative, as if billionaires ought to simply stay in their lane of enriching themselves . . . . Any curiosity or genuine interest in the value of what he has created is essentially dismissed, or perhaps lurks from beneath a thinly veiled scorn.

17. Silicon Valley must play a role in addressing violent crime. Many politicians across the United States have essentially shrugged when it comes to violent crime, abandoning any serious efforts to address the problem or take on any risk with their constituencies or donors in coming up with solutions and experiments in what should be a desperate bid to save lives.

18. The ruthless exposure of the private lives of public figures drives far too much talent away from government service. The public arena—and the shallow and petty assaults against those who dare to do something other than enrich themselves—has become so unforgiving that the republic is left with a significant roster of ineffectual, empty vessels whose ambition one would forgive if there were any genuine belief structure lurking within.

19. The caution in public life that we unwittingly encourage is corrosive. Those who say nothing wrong often say nothing much at all.

20. The pervasive intolerance of religious belief in certain circles must be resisted. The elite’s intolerance of religious belief is perhaps one of the most telling signs that its political project constitutes a less open intellectual movement than many within it would claim.

21. Some cultures have produced vital advances; others remain dysfunctional and regressive. All cultures are now equal. Criticism and value judgments are forbidden. Yet this new dogma glosses over the fact that certain cultures and indeed subcultures . . . have produced wonders. Others have proven middling, and worse, regressive and harmful.

22. We must resist the shallow temptation of a vacant and hollow pluralism. We, in America and more broadly the West, have for the past half century resisted defining national cultures in the name of inclusivity. But inclusion into what?

🗓️ 100 days to go until the 2026 #NATOsummit in Ankara, Türkiye 🇹🇷

This is the second time Türkiye will host a NATO Summit, following Istanbul in 2004. NATO Summits bring together Allied leaders to take decisions on important issues facing the Alliance

[NATO @NATO]

🪖 More than 2000 Turkish troops took part in NATO’s largest exercise of the year #SteadfastDart26

🇹🇷 Türkiye’s strong participation included a mechanised infantry brigade and naval task group. Following the exercise, the Anadolu drone carrier will operate under NATO as part of Eastern Sentry

@adrielyong I experienced this both on my flight to and from Japan with @TK_TR There was unlimited wifi, and I had no issues even during video calls.

[Kęstutis Budrys @BudrysKestutis]

I thank our ally #Türkiye for deploying Turkish AWACS aircraft for a #NATO mission to #Lithuania to safeguard the Baltic skies. It’s a powerful show of allied resolve.

This is what real NATO unity in action looks like - concrete steps to protect our skies and stand strong together. We are committed to defending every inch of NATO territory, shoulder to shoulder.

[OECD Economics @OECDeconomy]

Inflationary pressures persist in many economies, with headline inflation ticking up again in an increasing share of economies.
Over 2025-26 inflation is projected to be ⬆️ than previously expected, although still moderating as economic growth softens.

Haberin dogrulu hakkinda fikrim yok. Ancak Japonya’ya ikinci girisimde, Turkiye’de nereli oldugum soruldu. Soyledikten sonra ustune ekledim, Kurt degilim diye. Sonra soru sormadilar.

Geniş kitlelerin doğru dürüst beslenmesi, yamasız giyinmesinin geçmişi 150 bilemediniz 200 seneden ibarettir. Öncesinde fakirlik insanlığın ortak kaderiydi.
21. Yüzılın ilk çeyreğinde #Türkiye'de fakirlikte fazilet görenlere Allah akıl fikir versin derim. Cehalet veya kötü niyet

[MAkif 📚🤓🖥️👨‍💻☮️ 🇪🇺🇹🇷🌍 @ma_ozdemir]

Bugün Cuma namazında yine fakirliği öven bir imama denk geldim ve yine fena sinirlendim. Efendiler, 18-19. yüzyıllara kadar insanlığın tamamı için feci yoksulluk doğal yaşam düzeniydi. Bu İslam'a özel bir değer değil. Katolik dünyada da fakirler cennete en yakın grup sayılıyordu.
