U.Senator Tommy Tuberville's more than six-month hold on hundreds of promotions of U.Military officers has led the Secretary of the Navy to accuse the Alabama Republican lawmaker of "aiding and abetting communist and other autocratic regimes around the world." That charge follows a Washington Post op-ed by the Secretaries of the Army, Navy, Air Force, and Space Force alleging Tuberville's actions as "putting our national security at risk." The Secretaries' rare public remarks have led to other military experts, and political experts, speaking out against Tuberville, with one calling his actions "dereliction of duty." U.Navy Secretary Carlos Del Toro told CNN Tuesday evening, "I would never imagine that one of our own Senators would actually be aiding and abetting communist and other autocratic regimes around the world.

Can US strikes on Yemen's Houthis be justified as 'self-defence'? A US senator says such a claim is 'laughable' and calls on President Joe Biden to seek permission for strikes from Congress. Israel has used it as justification for the slaughter of more than 30,000 Palestinians in Gaza - with thousands more lost under the rubble and presumed dead - in under five months.

The U.military has a series of AI initiatives underway that are raising serious questions about using lethal autonomous weapons, especially those that have not been properly vetted. One ambitious initiative, known as Replicator, is using thousands of fairly affordable and expendable AI-enabled autonomous vehicles to "galvanize progress in the too-slow shift of U.military innovation to leverage platforms that are small, smart, cheap and many." They are expected to be fielded by 2026 in a bid to stay on par with China's developments.
