2/ A counterproductive U.S. policy

"For years, the UK, which controls a number of territories in the Caribbean where it bases intelligence assets, has helped the US locate vessels suspected of carrying drugs so that the US Coast Guard could interdict them."

The return of Hamas to Gaza after two years of a brutal and unrestrained counterterrorism offensive reminds us of something very important: kinetic efforts alone do not lead to the destruction of a terrorist group.

Hamas reappears on Gaza’s streets, and two of three militias that fought it go quiet
For now, the terror group's reappearance is relatively limited, but reports are mounting of it pursuing those who have resisted it. And many Gazans fear a return of terror rule

The alliance plans to upgrade its Baltic Sentry mission to include new "intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance platforms and at least one air-defense frigate," according to a NATO statement sent to Reuters.
Unidentified drones reportedly spotted in Denmark, Lithuania, Finland
The incidents come as Russian drones and military aircraft have increasingly entered NATO airspace, prompting heightened alert and readiness across the alliance.

Nihilism is political.

We infer "political" as "partisan" but that misses the large number of Americans who don't fit into any party. This confusion also makes us incapable of really understanding our adversaries.
