When Russia intervened militarily in 2015 at Iran’s request, Assad and those around him believed they had secured the survival of the regime. They interpreted battlefield stalemate as triumph. That confidence hardened into hubris, leaving the Syrian leadership unwilling to confront the corruption and weaknesses that continued to hollow out the state. Similar overconfidence now emerges in Tehran, with Iranian officials speaking pure fantasy in the regime media.

The Supreme Court’s AI Collision Course
Imagine a tight House race in a swing state. In the final weeks of the campaign, a new super PAC begins spending heavily against the incumbent.

The super PAC is funded by a single LLC whose donor cannot be identified, and its spending decisions are being made by an AI agent that has been given a budget and a political objective and is now operating without any meaningful human direction. The “consultants” placing the ads are software. The text messages were crafted by the AI.
