Counting The Cost of War: The Challenge Is Not Securing Peace, But Permanently Removing Iran’s Nuclear Pathway

In chapter 14 of Luke’s Gospel, Jesus explains to the multitude that there is a cost to being His disciple. He warns them to count the cost, so they don’t fall short and turn back when it gets tough.
One of the examples Jesus provided was a king going to war: “What king, going to make war against another king, does not sit down first and consider whether he is able with ten thousand to meet him who comes against him with twenty thousand? Or else, while the other is still a great way off, he sends a delegation and asks conditions of peace.”
That principle came to mind as I followed the ongoing negotiations between the United States and Iran, because the central question before America today is not whether we desire peace, but whether the peace being negotiated achieves the objective for which military force was used in the first place.

China’s AI Surveillance State Is Becoming Something the World Has Never Seen

For years, China has built what many observers have described as the most extensive surveillance network in human history. Now, thanks to rapid advances in artificial intelligence, that network is evolving into something far more powerful--and far more concerning.
According to recent reporting from the Financial Times, Chinese authorities are upgrading their already vast surveillance infrastructure with advanced AI systems capable of analyzing behavior, identifying individuals, predicting crowd activity, and even anticipating potential social unrest before it occurs.
This is no longer simply about cameras watching street corners. It is about creating a real-time digital map of an entire society.
