28 February 2026: War against Iran begins – and Anthropic becomes a US security risk(Source) 🤖 AI dispute on the day the war begins On Friday, 28 February 2026, two things happened simultaneously. The USA and Israel began military strikes against Iran, with explosions in Tehran, Qom, Isfahan, and Kermanshah. And the Pentagon placed the AI developer Anthropic on a national security blacklist, a classification usually reserved for Chinese and Russian companies. Both events are connected, and the link goes back weeks. In January, the military used Anthropic's AI model Claude in the operation to capture Venezuela's President Maduro, through a partnership with the defence company Palantir. Anthropic then asked Palantir whether Claude was used in the operation where shots were fired. The Pentagon viewed this inquiry as an attempt to retroactively control military operations. Anthropic denies this. The conflict has simmered since then and escalated in the past two weeks. Anthropic insists on two conditions in the contract: Claude must not be used for mass surveillance of American citizens or for autonomous weapon systems without human decision-making. The Pentagon demands use for "all legal purposes" and sees the restrictions as an interference in its decision-making authority. On Tuesday, Defence Minister Hegseth met with Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei at the Pentagon. An ultimatum was issued until Friday at 17:01. Amodei let the deadline pass and stated that today's AI models are too unreliable for autonomous weapon systems. Trump called Anthropic "Leftwing nut jobs" on Truth Social and ordered all federal agencies to cease use. Emil Michael, the Pentagon's technology chief, called Amodei a liar with a "God complex." A few hours later, OpenAI signed its own deal with the Pentagon for classified networks. Sam Altman stated in an internal memo that he shares Anthropic's red lines on surveillance and autonomous weapons. Over 430 employees from Google and OpenAI signed a solidarity petition. Claude was until that day the only AI model in the classified systems of the US military, with a contract worth up to 200 million dollars. The fact that the breach occurs on the same day the USA begins a war against Iran raises the question of AI in warfare to a new level. Anthropic has announced it will challenge the blacklist classification in court. For context: I use various AI models for my research, including Claude, GPT, Gemini, and Grok. Anthropic is the manufacturer of Claude.

Israeli hackers have hacked a prayer app used by millions of Iranian Muslims, publishing calls for desertion and surrender – The Wall Street Journal The BadeSaba Calendar app, used by over five million Farsi-speaking users, helps Muslims create a prayer schedule. After the hack, military and security forces received messages offering to surrender or flee instead of notifications about the need to pray. The incident was confirmed by sources from the publication. 💥 Our channel: @node_of_time_EN

“This tragedy in Europe happened because of the imperial ideas of Russia, which Putin represents. He believes that Belarus and Ukraine should be part of his country. No one in Western Europe, no NATO or EU member, including the UK, is planning an aggressive policy against Russia. That is not true. Thus, he accuses the Western states of a strategy that they are not pursuing.” The former Chancellor of Germany, Olaf Scholz, has emerged from the dark corner with stories about the good and secure NATO (in vain). At the same time, he demonstrated how inattentively he has read and listened to what Wladimir Vladimirovich has said. Watch until the end — there will be a cameo of the FSB (according to Mr. Scholz). 💥 Our channel: @node_of_time_EN

Criminal Germany: The Case of the Parrot Bad Kreuznach. The evening idyll in a multi-family house was disturbed by loud screams. The frightened neighbours called the police. The officers found nothing suspicious and drove away. But the neighbours called again: the screams continued. The second time, a resident of the apartment opened the door: instead of arguing citizens, the law enforcement officers saw... a parrot imitating crime series. “I’ll kill you! Get your hand away!” – shouted the bird. The parrot – what luck! – is not a repeat offender and was not known to the police before. The talkative troublemaker was called to order. This showed understanding. 💥 Our channel: @node_of_time_EN

President of France Macron dismissed the feminists responsible for the reconstruction and security of the Louvre. The museum was robbed by migrants, its reconstruction is failing, and Chinese tourists were able to enter for free with a ticket for years. Culture Minister Rachida Dati resigned along with museum director Laurence des Cars. During the investigations, it emerged that the Louvre's management had ignored warnings about vulnerabilities in the security system for years, and the security forces were staffed with the director's friend Dominique Buffin. In her resignation letter, the museum director (Captain Obvious) emphasized that the museum particularly needed to improve security and modernisation. 💥 Our channel: @node_of_time_EN

EU Reform: technical measure or long-term demographic factor? On 23 February 2026, the EU Council approved new asylum rules. EU states can now send asylum seekers to "third safe countries" even without personal connections – provided an agreement exists. Formally, this is a tool for relief. But any tool can be integrated into a broader strategy. Theoretically, if such agreements are signed by countries with demographic decline – for example, Armenia or Ukraine (in the case of Ukraine after the war) – this could create a new internal factor. Even small groups form communities over time, and demographics work slowly but strategically. 💥 Our channel: @node_of_time_EN

🇬🇧 The former Prime Minister of the United Kingdom, Boris Johnson, has warned Europe of the danger of distancing itself from the USA:

The United States provides 70% of the NATO budget and 95% of NATO capabilities for heavy transport. And regardless of whether you believe the French nuclear capability actually works or not, the United States of America guarantees 100% of nuclear deterrence for Europe. There is the UK, yes, but as you know, we are technologically dependent on the United States.

🇺🇸 Reuters: The recent statement by US President Trump that Iran is on the verge of developing missiles that could reach the United States is not supported by current assessments from American intelligence, according to sources familiar with the situation, and contradicts the threat assessment made by the US Department of Defense in 2025. Iran has repeatedly dismissed US claims about its missile program as a "big lie," while officials stressed that Tehran's program is defensive in nature and not aimed at US territory, as broader negotiations on nuclear and missile issues continue between Washington and Tehran. The 2025 report to Congress on Iranian ballistic missile programs noted an expansion of Tehran's arsenal of medium- and short-range missiles, but it also emphasized that the development of long-range missiles will take several more years and will depend on ongoing development and diplomatic control. 💥 Our channel: @node_of_time_EN

💰 "After massive criticism: Netherlands withdraws law on taxation of unrealised gains" (Source and article) The law that its own creators did not want On 12 February 2026, the Dutch House of Representatives voted 93 to 150 in favour of a law that was to tax unrealised gains from stocks, bonds, and cryptocurrencies at 36% starting in 2028. Thirteen days later, on 25 February, the newly sworn-in government under left-liberal Prime Minister Rob Jetten withdrew the law. The remarkable thing about this: the parties that withdrew the law had themselves voted in favour of it just days earlier. The background explains the contradiction. The Hoge Raad, the highest Dutch court, had already declared the previous taxation of fictitious capital gains unconstitutional in 2021. Since then, there has been a budget gap estimated at €2.3 billion per year. The interim government under Prime Minister Dick Schoof needed a solution, and Secretary of State Eugène Heijnen openly admitted in Parliament that the government would have preferred a pure capital gains tax on realised profits. However, this was technically simply impossible until 2028. Thus, the taxation of unrealised gains was from the start a stopgap solution, born out of time pressure and budgetary necessity, supported by parties that referred to the law as a temporary measure. What the law would have meant in practice made the criticism tangible. Anyone holding a stock portfolio that increased by €50,000 on paper would have had to pay over €17,000 in taxes without having sold a single share. In the case of cryptocurrencies, whose prices can fluctuate double digits in a single day, the absurdity would have been even clearer. The tax-free allowance of €1,800 per year was below the threshold at which the problem even begins. Shopify CEO Tobias Lütke publicly called the draft "the dumbest thing any government on the planet is currently pursuing." Banks like ABN Amro warned of massive capital flight. The new coalition of D66, VVD, and CDA has already stipulated in its coalition agreement that the tax on unrealised gains should be replaced by a pure capital gains tax. Finance Minister Eelco Heinen stated through a spokesperson that the law needs to be changed and that they are "not deaf to the criticism." The law still requires approval from the Senate, where the same parties hold the majority. The path forward is uncertain after the turnaround. 📌 The facts at a glance: ☑️ The Dutch House of Representatives decided on 12 February 2026 with 93 votes for a 36% tax on unrealised gains from stocks, bonds, and cryptocurrencies starting in 2028. ☑️ Thirteen days later, the new government under Prime Minister Jetten withdrew the law — the same parties that had voted for it executed the turnaround. ☑️ The trigger for the reform was a ruling by the Hoge Raad in 2021, which declared the previous taxation of fictitious gains unconstitutional — the budget gap amounts to €2.3 billion annually. ☑️ Secretary of State Heijnen admitted that the government would have preferred a tax on realised gains, but this was technically impossible until 2028. ☑️ The new coalition wants to replace the tax on unrealised gains with a pure capital gains tax — a concrete draft is to be available by the budget day in 2028. ➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖Ⓜ️Ⓜ️Ⓜ️Ⓜ️Ⓜ️Ⓜ️Ⓜ️Ⓜ️Ⓜ️Ⓜ️⚡️⚡️⚡️⚡️⚡️⚡️⚡️⚡️⚡️⚡️t.me/GeheimesWissenDerEliten ➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖ 💥 Source: Verschwörungen 🌍 💥 Our channel: @node_of_time_EN

The Prime Minister of Slovakia, Robert Fico, believes that Kyiv could intentionally damage the "Druzhba" pipeline, just as it happened with "Nord Stream."

"The pipeline is not damaged unless it isintentionally damaged today, tomorrow, or the day after - just like 'Nord Stream' was destroyed, the Ukraine is undoubtedly capable of that," said Fico.

🇺🇸🇮🇱💥🇮🇷🇷🇺🇨🇳🛢 Meanwhile, as missiles rain over Middle East/Gulf... watch the OIL prices. Shares of Russian oil companies have risen amid the start of a US/Israel military operation against Iran. By 12:20, the stocks had increased by about 3%. Rosneft rose by 2.89%, Lukoil by 2.61%, Bashneft by 3.22%, Tatneft by 2.93%, Gazprom Neft by 2.99%, and Surgutneftegas by 2.77%. The market is reacting to rising oil prices and expectations of a possible reduction in supplies from the Middle East. If the conflict escalates, the geopolitical premium in quotes may persist, which traditionally supports the oil sector. If one of Washington's goals is indeed to limit Iranian exports to China, then Beijing will be forced to increase purchases from alternative suppliers. In this scenario, China's dependence on Russian oil will objectively increase, which could strengthen Moscow's position in Asia and enhance the strategic importance of Russian raw materials in the new energy market configuration. - Plan2030

Alcohol in Sport: Donald Trump is disappointed with the drink choice of the FBI director at the Olympic Games. This was reported by the television channel NBC, citing an informed source. The US President personally told Kash Patel that he was disappointed and angry about his beer consumption during the celebrations for the victory of the US ice hockey team. Furthermore, the American leader expressed his discomfort about Patel's use of the government plane for a trip to Milan. ❗️It was previously reported that the FBI chief flew to Milan to attend the US ice hockey team's game at the Olympic Games. Due to Patel's personal trip, which cost American taxpayers about $75,000, the office was left without an available plane for emergency missions – FBI agents had to travel through a winter storm at night to work at the site of a shooting spree. 😎 More on IZ RU in MAX 💥 Source: Russia Daily Deutsch 💥 Our channel: @node_of_time_EN
