Some AI systems appear to have been trained to handle anti-Semitism in a way that is at once serious and shallow. Most name-brand public AI assistants understate or deny ideological guardrails that push biases, censor facts, and twist narratives. More than 99 percent of users accept these falsehoods without pushback, according to Perplexity, one of the more reliable public-facing AI chatbots.

Dr. David Wurmser fellow at the Jerusalem Center for Security and Foreign Affairs and CSP Senior Analyst for Middle East Affairs, speaking at the “Iran at a Crossroads” conference in Washington, compares Iran’s current situation to the final years of the Soviet Union: the collapse of the communist bloc states did not immediately lead to the fall of the regime in Moscow. According to Wurmser, one of the decisive variables is ideology.

In this report, Andrei Illarionov, CSP’s Senior Analyst for Russian and European Affairs, and Natalia Pivovarova, the Director of the Institute of Economic Analysis, produce a new database on regime change and identify key patterns that characterize different types and circumstances of regime change.

The Pew Research Center just published a poll that showed that 44% of Muslims in America support Hamas (also known as the Islamic Resistance Movement). This large level of support in the Muslim community for a Jihadi terrorist organization is worrisome to say the least. It may seem difficult to understand how more than 4 in 10 Muslims in America could support an organization that launched a massacre that targeted unarmed civilians, slaughtering hundreds of women and children on October 7, 2023.

China’s rulers invest tremendous resources into cultivating the ‘resistance is futile’ narrative among foreign elites and influentials Yes, China certainly seems daunting. Go there and take a look at massive modern factories operating 24/7, millions of industrial and domestic service robots, along with what look like never-ending shiny skyscrapers in Shenzhen, Shanghai and other cities. The sheer scale of it all is astonishing.

Undersecretary of War, Elbridge Colby called South Korea (Republic of Korea, ROK) a “model ally” while visiting Seoul a few months ago. A “model ally?” Compared to what? South Korea is still a longtime partner and an ally bound by a mutual defense treaty signed in 1953. However, all relationships change over time, and the U.S.-ROK relationship isn’t what it once was.

The 35th president took ideological warfare seriously. When President Trump reposted a video featuring President John F. Kennedy warning about subversion in America, he renewed focus on a threat we have long ignored at our peril. Spotlighting JFK’s admonition is part of the administration’s all-out attack on foreign subversion—an effort that has no presidential precedent. Its designation of Antifa and certain Muslim Brotherhood chapters as terrorist organizations was a first.

Protecting AI leadership requires more than building data centers. It also depends on securing the power grid against space weather threats. To win the artificial intelligence (AI) race—America is pouring hundreds of billions of dollars into data centers—facilities that demand pristine, “clean” electrical power for sensitive equipment.

Originally published in InFocus Quarterly, Spring 2026 Weaponization of immigration ranks among humanity’s most ancient armaments.

When citizens and officials of the targeted countries facilitate the invasion, all defenses are down.
