COMMENT

Richard S. Ehrlich: Israel, Hostages, Thailand & Jobs

Thailand was involved in delicate diplomatic efforts to gain their freedom, 'so it does not want to create any problems that will cause any misunderstanding among parties involved in the conflict,' then-Foreign Minister Parnpree Bahiddha-Nukara said.

Binoy Kampmark: Trump, Tariffs And Russia - A Very Muddled Policy

The broader lesson here is that economic weapons that seek to strangle, coerce and direct a nation state into action are blunt, inconsistent in their application and often counterproductive. The most telling response from the target state is adapting and adjusting to disruption, and Russia shows better signs than most in doing so.

Gordon Campbell: DeepSeek, And China’s Inexorable Rise

The week’s big story has been about China’s DeepSeek low-cost AI model and Nvidia losing $600B of its value.

Martin LeFevre - Meditations: History Is Not A Game

The knowledge, however, is still there, made even more tantalising by difficulties in accessing it. It’s up to the custodians of the Library to ensure that access is made as easily as possible, whatever the headaches.
