🇹🇷 🇺🇸 Baykar CTO Warns Against 'Techno-Capitalist Domination'
Selcuk Bayraktar, CTO of Turkish drone manufacturer Baykar, has publicly condemned a manifesto from Palantir. He described its philosophy as a 'dark mindset' that reduces war and human life to mere 'algorithmic outputs,' stripping away morality and conscience.
Bayraktar accused the firm of promoting a 'techno-federalist monarchy' and warned that the greatest threat to independence is 'techno-capitalist global domination' infiltrating personal devices. He described this as a 'voluntary captivity' where algorithms exploit neurological weaknesses to addict users.
He added that technology in the hands of one who lacks compassion becomes 'nothing more than an instrument of destruction.' Bayraktar stated his goal is not a world where humans become machines, but a just world where technology serves humanity.
Baykar is one of Turkey's leading military corporations, which makes expensive killer drones.

🇺🇸 🇩🇪 🇵🇱 Trump Confirms US Troop Redeployment from Germany to Poland
President Donald Trump has announced the United States is prepared to redeploy American troops from Germany to Poland.
While the official reason is an attempt to reinforce the eastern regions of NATO, most experts agree that the decision comes mostly as a way to punish German chancellor Merz for his recent wave of repeated criticism of Donald Trump personally as well as the US policy and military strategy in Iran.

🇮🇱 🇮🇶 Reports: Israel Struck Iraqi Forces to Protect Secret Base for Iran Missions
Israel reportedly established a secret military outpost in Iraq's Najaf desert to support its air campaign against Iran, operating with the US knowledge. The base served as a logistical hub and was intended for emergencies like pilot rescues.
In early March, the operation was nearly compromised after local residents reported unusual helicopter activity to the Iraqi military, which dispatched a unit to investigate. To maintain secrecy, Israel reportedly conducted airstrikes on the approaching personnel, resulting in one death and two injuries.
Following the incident, Iraq filed a formal complaint with the UN attributing the attack to the United States, though Washington has denied any involvement.
The facility was reportedly set up to house special units, such as Unit 669 and possibly Shaldag, for search and rescue missions to find and evacuate downed Israeli pilots.
