*The Guardian:* *Anger towards Emmanuel Macron grows in Muslim world * *Protests take place in several countries against French president in aftermath of crackdown * On the front page of a hardline Iranian newspaper, he was the “Demon of Paris”. In the streets of Dhaka he was decried as a leader who “worships Satan”. Outside Baghdad’s French embassy, a likeness of Emmanuel Macron was burned along with France’s flag.

How Israel Could Destroy Drone Swarms at Sea
Seth J. Frantzman, The National Interest - 10 hours ago
*Seth J. Frantzman* *Security, Middle East* Their Navy is getting some serious upgrades (but they are keeping much of them a secret). Israel’s need to confront threats at sea, especially amid rising tensions in the Eastern Mediterranean, has led the country to improve its naval assets over the years. That has meant new submarine orders and a new class of Sa’ar 6 corvette. Much of Israel’s naval technology is kept under wraps by the country, lest enemies get a sense of how Israel’s multi-layered capabilities work. Israel’s defenses knit together its fifth-generation F-35 stealth ...

Possibly more than everything else by far given the attack dimensions, range and speed it would bring to the aircraft.

Iraq’s Sinjar Agreement Is Doomed to Fail
Michael Rubin, The National Interest - 12 hours ago
*Michael Rubin* *Security, Middle East* Rather than respect local sentiment, the State Department has subordinated Yazidi concerns to the same powerful interests which precipitated Sinjar’s problems in the first place. Prior to the 2003 Iraq war, most pundits placed their bets on Kirkuk becoming Iraq’s flashpoint: Kirkuk, after all, was not only a multi-ethnic and multi-sectarian city that had suffered waves of ethnic dislocation over the decades, but it was also rich in oil. The 2005 Iraqi constitution addressed the issue directly with Article 140, never implemented, which call...

How do we fix policing in America? Can it be fixed? Donald Trump has made “law and order” a central message of his campaign, portraying anti–police brutality protesters as dangerous.
