Dear followers
This is a truly brilliant article by Henry Farrell. Not because it defends me against the Economist (I have moved on). It’s the way Farrell frames and analyzes the issues surrounding technooptimism and AI. The Acemoglu Wars Are All About AI. https://t.co/gEjCxjHrza

Naturally, Ankara sees an opening to deepen engagement with Iraqi factions already gravitating toward Turkish influence, particularly the Kurdistan Democratic Party and an array of Sunni Arab groups disillusioned with Iranian patronage. Turkey's growing influence in Syria already emboldens these Iraqi constituencies, and the Syria file now functions as a strategic multiplier for Ankara's position in Baghdad.

But more importantly, Turkey's leverage over Iraq extends into the most fundamental resource of all. As the upstream power on both the Tigris and the Euphrates, Ankara possesses decisive control over Iraq's water supply—a reality that constrains Baghdad regardless of political dynamics or of Iran’s state of affairs.
