AI is the future of warfare and US is in the lead (Stephen Bryen, February 17, 2026, Asia Times)
Recently AI has played an important role in several conflicts: the Gaza war (Operation Gideon’s Chariots); US-Israel operations against Iran (Operation Rising Lion); the capture of Nicolas Maduro and his wife in Venezuela (Operation Absolute Resolve); operations to locate and stop “rogue” oil tankers; and the Ukraine war, where AI is playing a major role.If the US and Israel take action against Iran in the coming days, planning and operations would likely be supported by AI.
