China’s showpiece military parade obscured underlying weaknessesChina’s showpiece military parade obscured underlying weaknesses: beneath the synchronized pageantry and missile theater sits a force with virtually no experience in extended, high-intensity conflict for nearly half a century, save for brief South China Sea dust-ups.

Guyana, a Crude-Backed Mandate and a Neighbor’s Convenient MemoryGuyana’s President Irfaan Ali cruised to a second term, his ruling party pulling more than twice the votes of its nearest rival, a tidy runway for a pro-fossil fuel agenda in an oil boom that began when ExxonMobil started pumping in 2019. The 800,000-person nation has banked billions, plus the usual side effects, opposition complaints of waste and pilfering, and Venezuela suddenly remembering a claim to two-thirds of Guyana just as

Lebanon and Syria flirt with pragmatism on IsraelCall it a tentative pivot, not a peace overture. In Lebanon, up-and-coming politicians are floating economic cooperation and border stability. In Damascus, the regime is dialing down anti-Israel theatrics to focus on reconstruction and international reintegration. Gulf cash and quiet mediation are in the mix, and some officials say Iran's proxies look stretched, Hezbollah included. No treaty talks, fragile institutions, and Syria's sectarian

Google keeps Chrome, must ditch exclusive search dealsA year after a court ruled Google illegally maintained its search monopoly, the company avoids the nuclear option of a Chrome spin-off but has to end exclusive search agreements. The crown stays, the moat gets drained, and the default-payment gravy train gets a new speed limit.

Modi’s first China visit since 2018 included a cautious meeting with Xi Jinping, a thaw arguably nudged by Donald Trump’s trade salvos that have complicated years of U.S. courtship of India. For Xi, it is a chance to burnish his architect-of-a-new-order image,
