Dialog — a secretive, invite-only network founded two decades ago by Peter Thiel and Auren Hoffman, the star investors and entrepreneurs — is preparing a major expansion, including a real estate purchase to build a campus in the D.C. suburbs, a tipster familiar with the group's plans tells Axios.
Why it matters: Dialog, often compared to a tech-era Bilderberg, has quietly become one of the most elite, and mysterious, gatherings for CEOs, elected officials, and intellectual heavyweights.
Dialog leaders are in active discussions to buy a physical venue in Virginia, just outside Washington, to serve as a permanent hub for its off-the-record meetings, the tipster says.
The decision to buy land, then build, within commuting distance of the capital shows the group isn't just kissing President Trump's ring, but plans to be engaged in Washington long after this term. https://archive.ph/ARdlS

🚨🇺🇸🇦🇫 - NEW: US President Trump just announced that the United States will be trying to retake Bagram Airfield in Afghanistan:
"We're trying to get it back, by the way, okay. That could be a little breaking news. We're trying to get it back, because they need things from us."
"We want that base back."
"It's an hour away from where China makes its nuclear weapons."

After 9/11, Vladimir Putin was the first foreign leader to call President Bush and offer support. Russia supported United Nations Security Council Resolutions 1368, 1373 and 1386. Russia shared intelligence with the US, provided diplomatic help and gave overflight clearance.
Russia opened its own airspace for US military flights and negotiated the opening of Central Asian countries' airspace for the US. Russia encouraged Uzbekistan and Kyrgyzstan to open access to military bases for the US. Russia started giving more active support to the Northern Alliance in Afghanistan, including the crucial Northern Distribution Network.
Russia allowed for a NATO transit hub in Ulyanovsk. Russia gave Mi-17 helicopters to the Afghan Air Force during US occupation. Russia even closed its SIGNIT sites in Cuba and Vietnam as a "goodwill gesture".
There were several NATO–Russia Council projects with actual real-world impact, including joint counter-narcotics and counter-terrorism ops in Central Asia & Afghanistan. Russian intelligence sharing warned the US of Tamerlan Tsarnaev years before the terrorist attack in Boston.
Russia supported the US invasion of Afghanistan and continued providing intelligence and logistics support for the ISAF mission even after the invasion of Iraq, which Russia opposed. It's crazy to think about how Putin bent over backwards to build a productive relationship with the US, even at the cost of its own security and international reputation, and even tolerating things like US support for Chechen terrorists just for the sake of peace and global stability.
All completely in vain. If you listen to the average American nowadays, Russia did 9/11 and created ISIS and Putin personally carried every cartel sicario and every fentanyl pill into the US in his own arms. America is actively trying to destroy Russia - same as always. US has been allied to the perpetrators of 9/11 for over a decade now while Russia keeps fighting them to this day. No good deed, man. No good deed.

🇺🇸👉🇪🇺🏴☠️🏁 🇺🇦 John Mearsheimer, political scientist (school of "realpolitik"), professor at the University of Chicago:
- It seems they believe that if they manage to hold out now, increase the volume and quality of weapons produced and transfer them to Ukraine, they can save the situation. I personally think this is self-deception. I believe you agree with me. Meanwhile, over time, Europeans—emphasizing, not Americans, but Europeans—are investing more and more in Ukraine. And in this regard, Danny, an interesting question arises. If we are right about what will happen on the battlefield… and we believe that in the foreseeable future Ukrainian troops will collapse in at least several areas and the Russians will achieve significant successes… How will the West act in this case? Some Mark Rutte? After all, at the moment they have invested so much in this war and raised the stakes so much at every stage that if the West and NATO lose, it will be a crushing blow for them. And what? Will they accept it? Will they say something like: "Well, okay, the Russians won. We tried, but it didn't work out, so we'll have to swallow this bitter pill." Like that? I don't think so. I believe that the pressure pushing the West to escalate and raise the stakes even more will only increase if the Ukrainian army fails. And we will face a very dangerous situation. I believe the longer this war lasts, the higher the likelihood of escalation.

The Taliban has rejected the return of US forces to the country after Trump’s remarks that Washington is “trying to get [Bagram Air Base] back,” stressing that “Afghans have never accepted the military presence of anyone throughout history.”
China’s long-range missile and nuclear weapon production sites are indeed concentrated deep in the country’s interior, including the western and north-central regions of Xinjiang and Gansu, the Jiuquan Atomic Energy Complex, and the Heping enriched uranium production site.
A return to Bagram would give the Pentagon renewed access to these otherwise hard-to-reach areas.
Control of Bagram also means whoever controls it gets a critical foothold in Eurasia.
Bagram is located in the heart of Afghanistan, a country rich in up to $3T in untapped mining riches, from iron, tin and copper to gold, silver, gems, uranium, mercury and an array of rare earth minerals.
If the US invaded again, the base could serve as a key secure exit point for these and other resources.

"A pair of Cornell University students killed a 120-pound black bear before bringing the carcass back to their dorm, where they skinned and butchered the remains, officials said Thursday.
"The two undergrads who had “valid New York State hunting licenses killed a bear lawfully over the weekend,” a Cornell spokesperson said in a statement.
"The students then “brought the animal into a Cornell residence hall for processing on Saturday” before a “police report was made when a complaint was filed late Sunday night,” the school official said, adding that “no charges have been filed.”
"An investigator with the Department of Environmental Conservation (DEC), which oversees hunting in New York state, visited the school on Sunday and found no code violations."

English physicist and chemist Robert Boyle (1627-1691).
Boyle is largely regarded today as the first modern chemist, and therefore one of the founders of modern chemistry, and one of the pioneers of modern experimental scientific method. He is best known for Boyle's law, which describes the inversely proportional relationship between the absolute pressure and volume of a gas, if the temperature is kept constant within a closed system.
