1171 Erdogan’s Dire Warning On Iran War, Signals Possible ‘MILITARY MOVE’ 

7 Mar 2026 Turkey is considering deploying F-16 fighter jets to northern Cyprus amid escalating tensions in the region following the US-Israel war on Iran. This move comes after an Iranian-made drone struck a British military base in Cyprus, prompting European responses and raising concerns about regional stability. Additionally, Turkey summoned Iran’s ambassador after a ballistic missile, reportedly fired from Iran, was intercepted by NATO over the eastern Mediterranean Sea. The UK will not participate in strikes on Iran but will allow the US to use British bases for defensive operations against Iranian missiles. Iran has launched sustained attacks across the region, endangering British citizens and allies. The UK believes a negotiated settlement is the best path forward, but is taking action to protect British lives and interests. https://youtu.be/JrMEd5NPWrY?si=bGgqo4ODtI-UqpE7 * Military Escalation: Turkey considers deploying F-16s to northern Cyprus to address security concerns stemming from the US-Israel conflict with Iran. * Drone Strike Impact: An Iranian-made drone striking a British base in Cyprus, likely fired by Hezbollah, prompted EU responses and military asset deployments. * Diplomatic Concerns: Turkey’s potential F-16 deployment would likely face strong objections from Cyprus and the EU, highlighting regional tensions. * Missile Interception: A ballistic missile reportedly fired from Iran was intercepted over the eastern Mediterranean Sea by NATO air and missile defence systems. * Target and Trajectory: The missile’s intended target was Turkish airspace, having crossed Iraqi and Syrian airspace before being neutralised. * Diplomatic Response: Turkey summoned Iran’s ambassador to Ankara to formally protest and express concerns over the incident, highlighting the seriousness of the situation. * Iran’s Escalation: Iran fired a missile at Turkey, marking a significant escalation of the conflict. * Turkey’s Stance: Turkey, a NATO member, has been urging for a negotiated settlement and warned against further destabilisation. * NATO’s Response: NATO’s interception of the missile means the alliance is threatened and obliged to respond, despite divisions over American actions in the region. * Germany’s Stance: Germany agrees with the goals of US action against the Iranian regime, but the future political landscape in Iran remains uncertain. * UK’s Position: The UK will not participate in strikes on Iran but allows the US to use British bases for attacks on Iranian missiles and launch sites. * Safety of British Citizens: The UK government urges British citizens in the region to register their presence and follow travel advice due to the dangerous situation. * Iran’s Aggression: Iran’s actions, including missile strikes, endanger the region and British interests. * UK’s Defensive Measures: The UK is actively defending itself and its allies by intercepting Iranian strikes and allowing the US to use British bases for defensive purposes. * Justification for Action: The UK’s actions are based on self-defence, protecting British lives, and upholding international law in response to Iran’s aggression. * US Stance on Iran: US President Donald Trump stated that an Iran with nuclear weapons and long-range missiles would be a major threat to the US. * Justification for US Action: Trump stated that the US is taking action to ensure the security of its citizens and prevent Iran from becoming a nuclear power. * Message to Iran: Trump urged the Iranian military to surrender or face certain death, and expressed support for the Iranian people in their pursuit of freedom.

Can't grok Gmail HAL - Privacy Trends unfolding

Blame the Daleks : I've never got over the childhood scarring from knowing our sofa was just no match for their death rays! I consider myself fairly well-read, certainly with a vocabulary bigger than England's soccer manager Fabio Capello claims . But thanks to the Daleks I've never read much science fiction so, until today, I'd never heard the word 'grok.' Kim_Cameron   kim cameron   People didn't "get over it".

Check out his  www.IdentityBlog.com It seems that ' grok ' means " to understand so thoroughly that the observer becomes a part of the observed—to merge, blend, intermarry, lose identity in group experience. It means almost everything that we mean by religion, philosophy, and science—and it means as little to us (because of our Earthling assumptions) as color means to a blind man. " @Kim_Cameron is...

CRM Problems

I dug out some depressing numbers from the CRM world: only 30% of companies with a CRM implementation feel that they've had a positive return on their investment. Mostly, the issues are not technical ones (it's not that hard to get the software installed and some superficial training completed). But there are some similarities with many IT projects: Lack of agreed goals and business case "Fail to plan, plan to fail" is the old saw that is daily proved true. I've seen clients invest in new hardware and software for the wrong reasons. (Last year, one IT department wanted to buy new software to secure training for the existing team in an attempt to secure their jobs and enhance their CVs...) Resist the temptation to launch into a new technology implementation without knowing realistically what you expect to get out of it. Difficulties with customization and integration with existing systems "No man is an island..." proves even more true of IT systems. V...

Not Orwell vs Huxley; but Orwell-Huxley

-
Orwell famously provided a disturbing view of the future in 1984 where the state controlled by Big Brother rules by fear through surveillance that removes all privacy, mind-numbing propaganda (' Newspeak ') and censorship to remove independent thought. It's usually seen as a diatribe against Stalinism . Huxley wrote Brave New World depicting a world where science and technology maximize pleasure, and all of life (including sex) is about 24/7 consumption. In his essay on Western society, Amusing Ourselves to Death , Neil Postman argued that Huxley, not Orwell, had been right. Certainly the casual observer of modern Western culture would find it easy to argue that hedonism rules much of our decision making. The utilitarianism that Huxley was writing to battle is still a dominant guide to many in public and private life who seek 'the greatest happiness of the greatest number' and - in the absence of generally accepted moral absolutes - consider that everything ...
