Some specialist reports resonate well beyond a specialist audience.

I've written a short post distilling 'Beyond the Axis', an outstanding 60-page report on the evolution of Iran's 'Axis of Resistance', into a 3-minute read.

5/5 * For full disclosure, I was fortunate to contribute my #Sudan expertise to a small part of the report.

I can attest to the thoughtful, innovative and rigorous work devoted to the report by a multi-disciplinary team.

It was a privilege to work with them all.

1/5 Every so often a piece of research can fundamentally change your way of thinking about something.

This outstanding report about #Iran's 'Axis of Resistance' is one of those...

4/5 The report lays the foundations for a new way of understanding the #MiddleEast #RedSea #HornOfAfrica region

It reveals how the development, proliferation & projection of military power have been reshaped by paradigm-shifting developments in global commerce & supply chains

One of my favourite things to say to my chatbot is "that was a rhetorical question"

[Richard Nield @Rnield01]

The efficacy of that project is questionable, but it will line the pockets of Trump's allies, according to this piece in Popular Information

The US government's $1.7 trillion military budget is double that of previous administrations, and includes a substantial amount over which there is little oversight, which will likely be used to fund a space missile project

How to define ChatGPT?

Generative AI doesn’t just change how information spreads - it changes how it’s produced.

But our laws are built for platforms that distribute content, not generate it.

Perhaps it would be safer to have the rabbit in charge of US foreign policy?

[Peter Hague @peterrhague]

How is a person supposed to tell if they are having a psychotic break or not these days?

Everyone else can see the big rabbit listening to Trump talk about bombing Iran, right?
