Gartner found that a majority of U.S. layoffs were not related to AI in the first half of 2025, instead flowing from corrections to pandemic-era over-hiring or other internal changes.

You are correct the 1.1 million layoffs in 2025 were not necessarily related to AI layoffs. That was careless phrasing on my part. However, latterly a growing number of layoffs are related to AI.
Conventional wars appeared over after the wars on Iraq and Afghanistan. Then came the proxy wars on Russia and Iran. The aggression against Venezuela does not appear to be the restart of the conventional wars. It’s probably the same mistake made over Iran. Bomb the country in the hope of an uprising by people to topple the government. I think there are several objectives. Spread Russia too thin over Iran and Venezuela, a win as you pointed out, and access to oil and mineral riches of Venezuela. It’ll probably be a test of anti-war sentiment in the US as well.
