In its ‘Beyond the Óperencia’ series, Magyar Krónika is looking at the meeting points of America and Hungary, and at Hungarians in America, from penniless peasants to political emigrants and soldiers of fortune. In this part, let us continue the story of Joseph Pulitzer, who intervened just in time when the American public and the press were almost on the brink of war.
‘The current epoch marks another revolutionary shift: the digital warfare paradigm, driven by rapid advances in artificial intelligence, cyber capabilities, autonomous weapons, and real-time data integration…It is no longer sheer numbers or tonnage of materiel that decide battles, but information superiority, network resilience, and the speed of decision-making.’
‘I walked into the Garfield Scout House and enthusiastically presented my plans—singing, reciting poetry, reading, and analyzing short stories and poems.

At the SCO summit in Tianjin, leaders from Russia, China, India and beyond gathered to deepen trade ties, challenge Western influence, and promote a new Eurasian vision.
