Max Blumenthal, Editor-in-Chief of The Grayzone, claims Mossad's recent Iran regime change operation was "one of the biggest botched intelligence operations" in years.
The plan: Kurdish proxy groups—Komala and PJAK—backed by the US would invade Iran under air cover, hoping to trigger mass uprisings along ethnic fault lines.
Why it failed: Kurdish forces proved unable to advance without US firepower, and US air assets were vulnerable to Iran's anti-aircraft systems. Blumenthal calls the proposal "absurd" and notes it "went nowhere" after being floated via CNN.
New Mossad chief Roman Gofman reportedly plans to refine Iran operations built under predecessor David Barnea—despite the previous strategy's complete collapse.

Người đoạt giải Nobel Jennifer Doudna phản bác trào lưu thổi phồng về AI, nói rằng công nghệ này chưa mang lại đổi mới thực sự trong y học — ít nhất là cho đến thời điểm hiện tại.

California faces a brewing tax revenue crisis as high earners and businesses continue relocating to lower-tax states like Texas and Florida. The state's progressive tax structure relies heavily on its wealthiest residents, but that base is increasingly mobile. As remote work normalizes and tech companies decentralize, California's ability to fund its budget through aggressive taxation is hitting a wall. The exodus isn't slowing down—it's accelerating.
Kraken is reportedly eyeing a 15% stake in $AAVE, signaling a potential shift in how centralized exchanges approach DeFi.
The move highlights a broader trend: platforms with existing user bases are now targeting the underlying financial infrastructure. If exchanges control both the customer relationship and the lending layer, DeFi protocols risk becoming commoditized backend services rather than independent ecosystems.
The strategic play isn't reacting to deal announcements—it's identifying which protocols become critical infrastructure before the market catches on.
