The automatic target identification that the drone in the second video has is impressive but if the claim that it engaged some targets without human input is correct it does raise a number of safety (both blue on blue and civilian collateral damage) / ethical considerations (albeit Ukraine for certainly be forgiven for thinking such considerations are not a luxury they have in existential war).

The Middle least crisis threatens to evolve into a third world war. The US are seen as the bad guys and Israel their client state, intent on oppressing the Arab population within and beyond its borders.

There is a simple way to counter this narrative and break the deadlock that Netanyahu is determined to prolong indefinitely. The US and its allies should invade the West Bank and Gaza and drive the Israelis back to their 1967 borders. Then, in co-operation with Arab Nations and the Palestinian Authority, establish a Palestinian State in the liberated territory. And then feck off ASAP.

I'll now roll another one..

Good on the EU, if you’re in the club you play by the clubs rules.
They did something similar with Poland I think, ordinary Poles then voted to install EU favourite Tusk in as PM.

And so Sweden will join NATO.

That's because Erdogan will sign it off after the US let Turkey buy 40 F-16s.

So that is good news on some level, but Turkey strengthening its military considerably isn't sitting well with me I must say.
