🇨🇭 Swiss government rejects naturalisation reform proposal

The Swiss government wants cantons to continue to have the last say in naturalisation procedures. On Wednesday, it reiterated its rejection of the so-called "democracy initiative".

The democracy initiative wants to make naturalisation easier. It demands that naturalisation should be possible after five years of legal residence in Switzerland [instead of 10 years], regardless of the settlement permit held by the person.

🤖 OpenAI Wants Federal Backstop for New Investments — WSJ

In other words, OpenAI wants a US government bailout in case those investments into data centers and chips don't pay out.

@CIG_telegram

🤖 OpenAI CEO, Sam Altman says his company is "too big too fail".

Altman also told that the U.S. government is the “insurer of last resort for AI financing".

The term "too big to fail (TBTF)" is a theory in banking and finance that asserts that certain corporations, particularly financial institutions, are so large and so interconnected with an economy that their failure would be disastrous to the greater economic system, and therefore should be supported by government when they face potential failure. The term emerged as prominent in public discourse following the 2008 financial crisis.

New economic data shows that without AI, the U.S. economy is in a recession, with as much as 63% of GDP growth coming from AI investment.

Altman is not wrong when he says that OpenAI is "too big to fail" because his company plummeting would certainly crash the American economy.

The question is, should he be bailed out? Should the American people be forced to pay to keep Altman's company running? Why shouldn't OpenAI be allowed to fail?

🇺🇸❌🇳🇬 Trump: "We're gonna do things to Nigeria that Nigeria's not gonna be happy about, and may very well go into that now disgraced country guns a-blazing... I'm hereby instructing our Department of War to prepare for possible action. If we attack it will be fast, vicious, and sweet."

📝: Nigeria has a lot of oil, located mostly in the separatist Christian Biafra region in the southeast. The Igbo people living in Biafra were not subject to the terror attacks of the jihadist Boko Haram terror group as the violence affects only the north of Nigeria.

The aggressive posturing against Nigeria is the result of the Igbo lobby and a backup in case the U.S. military fails to overthrow Maduro.

🇺🇸🌍🇳🇬 The United States Africa Command (AFRICOM) has drafted plans for an intervention in Nigeria, the primary target being ISWAP and, to a lesser extent, other Islamist groups such as JAS and decentralized bandit groups. Plans are divided into light, medium, and heavy options.

The light option is to continue to rely on the Nigerian army while providing additional military and financial support to help the government neutralize the threats.
The medium option would include drone strikes and joint operations with the Nigerian army against terrorist camps and positions. This, however, would be difficult because the US lost access to airbases in Niamey and Agadez in Niger. Other regional countries might permit use of their territory, but that is unlikely; the most feasible alternative would be to operate from the AFRICOM base in Djibouti.

The heavy option, and the least likely, would be to move an aircraft-carrier strike group into the Gulf of Guinea so fighter jets could carry out high-impact airstrikes against militant camps. That is constrained by carrier availability: the Gerald R. Ford is being moved to the southern Caribbean, other carriers are deployed in the Pacific or the Middle East, and some are undergoing maintenance.

🇮🇱🇱🇧 Israeli media reported that the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) is preparing plans for a “several-day” operation in which the IDF would target Hezbollah infrastructure south of Beirut, in the Bekaa Valley, and in other areas north of Lebanon’s Litani River.

Discussions in Israeli media about a new IDF operation in Lebanon follow several recent reports from Israeli and Western sources that Hezbollah is reconstituting its forces and weapons capabilities in Lebanon through domestic production and smuggling.

Hezbollah has also begun to rebuild military infrastructure in several regions in Lebanon, including north of the Litani River.

Israeli and US officials warned the Lebanese government that Israel’s possible operation in Lebanon would be a direct consequence of the LAF's failure to address continued Hezbollah reconstitution, likely to pressure the Lebanese state to take more aggressive steps to disarm Hezbollah.
