You sent — and rightly so — your forces against al-Qaeda. You went into Fallujah, you went into Mosul and so on.

I’m not sure that America took more security precautions than we did to make sure that civilians are out of harm’s way.

The only way you’re going to stop this is by destroying Hamas.

It’s like the only way you got peace in Germany is by destroying the SS.

You didn’t say, "Oh, well, we’ll leave an enclave of the SS, and then we’ll have peace."

You have to "deradicalize" the situation in Gaza.

They imbibe with their mother’s milk this hatred, this insane hatred for Jews and for Israel — and, by the way, for Americans too.

They have suicide kindergarten camps. You’ve got to understand this.

I think we need to disarm, demilitarize and "deradicalize" Gaza.

The smaller “Bergen Group” currently includes the U.S., Norway, Sweden, Finland, Poland, Germany and the Netherlands. Pentagon policy chief Elbridge Colby says it is meant to develop ideas that can later strengthen the wider alliance.

Excluded allies, including some of NATO’s biggest defense spenders, say the criteria are unclear and fear Washington is dividing members into favored and unfavored groups.

Denmark could also be invited following its agreement with the U.S. to expand the American military presence in Greenland.

This pilot, the attacking pilot, is now being interrogated in Saudi Arabia. He’ll be, I assume, moved very quickly to Dubai.

He’s an Omani national. He’ll be investigated and interrogated, and we’ll join the interrogation and find out what happened there exactly.

Officials cited military readiness delays caused partly by Xi’s anti-corruption campaign and Beijing’s interest in Taiwan’s 2028 election.

Some Chinese officials reportedly hope it could produce a government more open to closer ties with Beijing.

U.S. officials also believe China has learned from the wars in Ukraine and Iran that any attack would need to be rapid and avoid becoming a prolonged conflict.

Passengers instead left on a replacement Flydubai civilian aircraft after some initially refused to board another Flydubai plane.

Saudi Arabia accepted the emergency landing and treated the injured pilots at a local hospital, but drew the line at Israeli military aircraft entering its territory.

Passengers arrived at Ben Gurion 10+ hours after original departure.

Netanyahu met them at the airport.

South Korea’s National Intelligence Service told lawmakers that Kim is considered “extremely obese” and faces a high risk of cardiovascular disease.

Kim is also a longtime heavy smoker, while both his father and grandfather died from heart-related problems.

South Korean intelligence says there are currently no clear signs that Kim is seriously ill.

He says Russia used a jet-powered drone carrying a new payload called KRSN for the first time on September 30.

It has a 40-kilogram main charge and four additional strike modules.

But this isn’t a normal blast warhead.

It’s described as a cumulative-cutting charge — essentially using shaped explosive energy to cut through steel.

Its reported targets are very specific: high-voltage transmission towers and steel bridge structures.

Beskrestnov believes Russia could use these drones to attack Ukraine’s most important high-voltage power lines.

Anthropic tested it against known vulnerabilities in Chrome’s V8 JavaScript engine.

Out of 410 attempts, GLM-5.3 produced 50 complete exploits.

Anthropic’s Claude Mythos Preview managed 56.

Mythos is restricted to vetted cybersecurity researchers.

GLM-5.3 is open-weight. Anyone can download it.

Anthropic also found its safeguards were relatively easy to remove. One technique reportedly bypassed them 100% of the time, with little loss in capability.

And stripped versions of the model appeared online within days.

In controlled tests, Anthropic says GLM-5.3 even discovered previously unknown browser vulnerabilities and chained them together.

We have to deepen exchanges and cooperation across the Taiwan Strait, firmly combat Taiwan independence separatist forces, oppose interference by external forces, promote the peaceful development of cross-strait relations, and advance the cause of national reunification.

Some officials have slammed the system, with one calling it “absolute shit” and another saying the U.S. would “instantly win the war” if access to American technology were cut off.

Element says the Commission is still testing the platform and that early technical and usability problems are expected.
