There was a time when wars were decided on paper maps, with officers hunched over a table, radio calls, and hours —sometimes days— spent verifying information before pressing a button. Today, however, war is beginning to resemble a screen: satellite images, drone videos, sensors, coordinates, and an artificial intelligence that cross-references all that data in real time. That system is called Project Maven, and understanding it allows us to discern a crucial aspect of the United States' new military power.

The decision to initiate a war in the heart of the oil industry has been an unprecedented blunder for an inexperienced politician.

Trump has just accused NATO of cowardice for not getting more involved in the Iran war. The allies' military bases, especially British ones, have been available to the Pentagon almost since the beginning of hostilities, but what the president is asking for goes beyond that. He wants the Persian Gulf, closed by the Iranians, to be opened by all Western nations, making his allies pay for the mistakes the American president himself made. The first mistake was getting involved in a war he cannot win, or will not win easily, without a cost that could be far greater than Iraq's. The equation is simple: Tehran only sanctioned the United States and Israel by preventing ships from passing through the Strait of Hormuz.

More than 3,300 events  took place in several cities across all 50 states of the United States.
