The relationship between governments and business is fundamentally changing. As geopolitical tensions have increased and economic warfare has become central to international competition, policymakers around the world have developed new export control systems, investment screening mechanisms, and subsidization schemes to protect their markets and reshore critical industries. All these policies require the participation of companies, and their success depends on the decisions made by corporate actors. More and more, governments have seen a need to compel changes in corporate behavior to achieve their foreign policy aims—in effect, to dabble in state capitalism.That shift has been in the works for some…

Wearable biometrics, improved science, and more data are changing U.S. Army attitudes toward human performance—particularly how soldiers adapt to the risks of overheating. The U.S. military has been studying the effects of heat on troops for almost a century, dating to the 1927 establishment of the Harvard Fatigue Laboratory at the military’s request. Still, soldiers’ and commanders’ approach to core physical tasks—think timed runs, strenuous outdoor activity, or environmental exposure—lags the growing body of science about heat risks, sometimes by years or decades. That may finally be changing under new initiatives to expand research into human performance.Lt. Col. David deGroot, who…

FORT CARSON, Colo. — High winds tear across the tactical range — tumbleweeds pass and debris swirls but a tactical drone maneuvers steadily through the sky, locked on course and unmoved by the elements. This moment reflects the culmination of three demanding weeks of training. Green Berets from the 10th Special Forces Group (Airborne) completed an intensive training program from Feb. 9 to 27, conducting exercises both in the classroom and across multiple tactical ranges on Fort Carson. The Advanced Drone Course taken by the Soldiers is designed to expand operational capabilities and enhance small unmanned aerial system employment across…

Tom Aspinall has sided firmly with Jon Jones in the aftermath of the former light heavyweight king asking to be released from his UFC contract, arguing that the promotion has failed to match Jones’ achievements with appropriate pay and respect. Speaking on The Ariel Helwani Show, the heavyweight champion said he finds it “crazy” that a fighter with Jones’ résumé still has to haggle over money with the organization. Reacting to Jones’ public request for his release after failed talks around a June “UFC Freedom 250” event on the White House South Lawn, Aspinall framed the dispute as a pay‑and‑respect…

Murphy’s Law says that anything that can go wrong will go wrong. Which is why you need both backup plans and redundant functions. That way, when things go to hell, you’re not out of options. Plan A might fail, but you’ve got Plan B in the wings. This is why the best techniques can serve two functions. For example, the omoplata is a shoulder lock submission, but it’s ALSO a powerful sweeping position. Essentially, the omoplata compromises their alignment so much that even if you can’t get them to tap out, they’re still vulnerable to getting swept forwards… or backwards……

Anxiety over the existentially precarious position Israel occupies in the Middle East has persisted for thousands of years, though it has grown and intensified after World War II; genocide was no longer mere theory, it had been attempted.  While existential anxiety can be alleviated, mitigated, and ultimately eliminated through dedication, discipline, and intentional action, Israel’s persists.  Israeli and American politicians have personally found it politically useful to maintain and leverage the eschatological anxiety of the Jewish people. Existential angst matters here: in the spectrum of conflict, it escalates everything into an absolute position, one where defeat is untenable – because…

The man they call “The Moose,” Mitchell Hooper won his fourth straight Arnold Classic Strongman title over the weekend, earning the most points in the 2026 event, while proving that he is still one of the strongest men on the circuit. Hooper was understandably beaming at the conclusion of the prestigious strongman event, especially since he was presented with the winner’s trophy by Arnold Schwarzenegger, with his family proudly looking on. The big man, who won 2023 World’s Strongest Man, had to take some time out in 2025, to deal with nagging injuries, but has undoubtedly bounced back with a…
