PATRICK LAWRENCE: Germany Learns From the IDF
The Israelis are to teach Germans how to use artificial intelligence based on the I.D.F.’s experience in Gaza, where, among other things, it used A.I. to identify targets, guide drones, and conduct remote assassinations. A year ago this month — St….
PATRICK LAWRENCE: Serial Buffoon at the Pentagon
Trump elevated outsiders without necessary experience to his cabinet to avoid the deep state subversion that was rampant during his first term. The “blob” responded by making some of them irrelevant. Someone wondered aloud on a social media platform the…
PATRICK LAWRENCE: AIPAC’s Anxieties
The Israel lobbies’ grip on U.S. politics has slipped beyond restoration since Oct. 7, 2023 due to the Zionist army’s own savagery in Gaza. If Charlies Kirk’s well-documented defection from the Zionist cause confirmed one thing above all others, it…

The Trump regime’s 28–point Ukraine peace plan accepts Moscow’s core concerns as legitimate. That’s essential for any possible settlement of the war, or the broader crisis between Russia and the West. There are any number of reasons you may not like, or may even…
PATRICK LAWRENCE: Al-Qaeda Goes to Washington
Al–Sharaa’s White House visit is a reminder of Washington’s longstanding abhorrence of democratic processes and anyone — beyond the perimeter of the West and sometimes within it — who stands for them. I never thought I would see the day, but the…
PATRICK LAWRENCE: My Bigotry Is Better Than Yours
Graham Platner, a combat veteran running a Democratic primary campaign for a Maine seat in the U.S. Senate, is getting hit with caricatures, which is the worst form of bigotry. Let’s look at him in 3-D. Jiminy Crickets. I hope…
PATRICK LAWRENCE: Another War We’re Not Supposed to See
You have to figure, if those waging war — and covering it — dedicate themselves this assiduously to keeping things hidden, there are surely things to hide. I know for a fact that The New York Times has a multitude of correspondents on…
