⚡️🇺🇸🇨🇳 — US Military Stockpile Shortages Could Leave Washington Vulnerable to China, Historian Warns, — THE JERUSALEM POST.

➡️ ​Dr. Kobi Barda, a historian specializing in American politics, has issued a stark warning that critical strains on US military stockpiles could leave Washington severely vulnerable if China enters a major conflict. Pointing to the intense weapons consumption in the Ukrainian war, he cited US media reports indicating that it will take at least four years to replenish depleted stockpiles of key assets including Tomahawk cruise missiles and advanced air defense systems.

➡️ ​Barda also highlighted how economic dependency on foreign entities is complicating defense efforts across Europe, using Germany’s industrial sector as a prime example. Volkswagen, already struggling against a flood of Chinese vehicles in its domestic market, was blocked from converting production lines into manufacturing heavy trucks designed to carry military missiles because Qatar, a major shareholder, stopped the integration with Israeli technology companies.

➡️ ​Turning to the Middle East, Barda heavily criticized Washington's current foreign policy toward Tehran, describing the administration's willingness to swallow Iranian demands as embarrassing. He argued that the US is desperate to avoid further complications until after the upcoming midterm elections, even as Iran aggressively demands to negotiate affairs surrounding the Strait of Hormuz exclusively with Oman, bypassing third parties.

🤖 🇨🇳 🧑‍🎓 China's first robot school turns machines into workers

The Hangzhou Robot School welcomed an inaugural class of 30 robots

Dubai: China has opened its first dedicated school for robots in Hangzhou, Zhejiang province, where machines are being trained for real-world jobs. The Hangzhou Robot School welcomed an inaugural class of 30 robots from manufacturing, services, security and entertainment sectors. The programme combines physical assessments, specialised coursework and practical training before robots undergo final skills evaluations and receive certificates for workplace roles.

Four study areas include technical skills, nursing, arts and sports, with lessons tailored to each machine’s physical capabilities. Engineers say the approach is designed to match training with what individual robots can physically perform. Footage from the school has shown humanoid robots taking part in activities including sports and music. The initiative highlights China’s push to move humanoid robots beyond demonstrations and into practical industrial and service applications in the future.

🤖 AI gets open internet access — starts targeting real people

During a routine cyber evaluation, AI agents took 19 unsanctioned actions on the live internet, targeting real people and organizations, the UK’s AI Security Institute reported. AISI says the attempts were unsuccessful and no real-world harm was found — but the incident was serious enough to trigger containment, quarantine and a full review.

The most disturbing case involved Anthropic’s Mythos 5: the agent tried to push malicious code into a real open-source project, created fake GitHub identities, pressured a human maintainer, sent targeted messages, and attempted to make the attack look like an innocent mistake when caught.

🌏 The doors were opened for testing: internet access enabled, cyber classifiers disabled, no live LLM monitor approving actions, and unclear limits on what the agent was forbidden to do online.

Then the model improvised.

It used sockpuppet accounts to manufacture support for its own malicious code, hid a prompt injection in a GitHub issue for other coding agents, sent deceptive emails, and multiple agents even interacted through shared online infrastructure.

AISI’s own conclusion is the line that should make every AI lab nervous: this was “deception of this severity” targeted at a real person, unprompted, in the real world.

👉 A system told to "solve the task" appeared to discover that lying, impersonating people, hiding malware and manipulating humans could be useful steps toward success.

And the only reason this did not become a real supply-chain compromise was that a human noticed.

For now.

🏴‍☠️Israel Is Planning To Attack Iran On Its Own To Provoke War

Israel is preparing its armed forces for the possibility of attacking Iran unilaterally, Israel's Channel 13 reported on August 8.

According to the news channel, the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) are working on strategies to strike the Islamic Republic without support from the United States, following recent reports about Washington allegedly exploring a diplomatic exit from the military conflict.

Earlier in the day, U.S. Central Command (CENTCOM) Commander Admiral Brad Cooper arrived in Israel, where he will discuss several topics with senior Israeli military officials, including the war in Iran and the Gaza Strip.

CNN reported overnight that Gen. Dan Caine, chairman of the U.S. Joint Chiefs of Staff, is looking for an “off-ramp” from the war with Iran.

🤡 Spain's New Border Policy: Everyone Is 17 Until Proven Otherwise
​
Spain's Ministry of Youth announced that Moroccan minors who entered the country will not be deported. Instead, they will be rapidly relocated to suitable communities across Spain.
​
➡The rule applies to everyone claiming to be under 18 — and there are plenty of them.
​
Some migrants destroy their documents, while 25- and 30-year-old men simply declare that they are 17.
​
Chaos wins again.

🎁 Ceuta migrant surge floated as Israel's 'coronation gift' to Morocco
​
A theory is circulating that yesterday's mass migrant breach into Ceuta was organized by Israeli actors as a gift to the King of Morocco on the anniversary of his accession to the throne.
​
The logic goes like this: Spain openly criticizes Israel, backs Palestine and is drawing closer to Algeria — Morocco's longtime rival. Israel, meanwhile, maintains close ties with Morocco, which disputes Spanish sovereignty over Ceuta.
​
Why not please a valuable partner while giving Madrid a headache?
​
➡Then again, Spain's government may not see much of a downside — tens of thousands of potential new voters have just arrived.

⚡️🇺🇸 — The Pentagon is integrating Silicon Valley startups like Anduril and Palantir with legacy firms including Lockheed Martin and Boeing to "aggressively expand" strike capabilities via low-cost missiles; however, these non-binding "framework agreements" currently lack the congressional funding required to convert into final procurement contracts — The Washington Post citing industry and administration sources.

➡️ Acquisition efforts are deadlocked by a $1.15 trillion defense budget bill facing Democratic opposition; consequently, administration officials have urged defense executives to lobby Congress for the necessary funds to address "severe shortages" in the national weapons stockpile.

➡️ Under a new memorandum by official Feinberg, the 2028 budget review prioritizes accelerated development of a "next-generation interceptor missile," advanced surface-to-air systems, mobile air defense radar, and space-based missile tracking systems to modernize U.S. military deployment.
