For thirty years I worked in the post-Soviet successor states in Central Asia and observed over and over again precisely the cycle that Bill Kristol describes. Corruption leads to authoritarianism, directly. The path is utterly predictable.

OpenAI may have found an infinite money glitch. AMD stock is up 25% after OpenAI pledged to spend billions it doesn’t yet have on AMD chips over five years plus OpenAI gets 10% of AMD if it follows through.

Altogether, OpenAI has now promised $1T in purchases in deals with AMD, Nvidia, and Oracle.
AMD stock skyrockets 30% as OpenAI looks to take stake in AI chipmaker
OpenAI will deploy up to 6 gigawatts of AMD Instinct GPUs over multiple years, beginning with a 1-gigawatt rollout in 2026.

While doing research on ancient languages for a novel I'm working on I discovered Dr. Martin Worthington at Cambridge University. After years of study, he's come up with an approximation of Akkadian. You can listen to The Epic of Gilgamesh here:

Hear The Epic of Gilgamesh Read in the Original Akkadian and Enjoy the Sounds of Mesopotamia
This clip gives you a taste of what Gilgamesh, one of the earliest known works of literature, sounds like in its mother tongue, Akkadian.

I’m also not sure why missile and drone attacks would be preferable to a land grab/ fait accompli, and what stops Russia from doing both at the same time.

They’re not known for rationally assessing their capability before starting a war.

First problem: there is absolutely no certainty that ”a conflict now” would stay within these limits.
Second problem: even if it did, virtually no European country has sufficient IAMD, let alone counter drone capability.
Third problem: Trump. Europe isn’t ready yet, but will be.
Basically, a conflict now would mean airplanes being hit and drone/missile strikes. Not good, but much preferable to a fait accompli land grab attempt, and it would likely unite Europe quite effectively _before_ they can dream up an operation that could really shatter NATO.
