WSJ What’s News · Why Economists Are Urging Caution About November’s Inflation Report · 18 Dec 2025 podcast
None of these people had ever traveled, that we know, to specific Islamic State camps.
We don't have that final conclusion for the Sydney perpetrators.
We know they went to the Philippines.
But as far as we know, in all these cases, there was never any evidence of a direct, you know, physical connection to the group.
So if we think about the Paris attacks that killed 130 people in 2015, these perpetrators had been sort of in Syria, fought with ISIS and prepared the attacks in ISIS-controlled territory before coming back to France.
So we had a clear template of really Islamic State members perpetrating the attack with the consent, of course, of the group.
Here it's very different.
We don't know about any operational connection.
let alone physical connection of going to territories, you know, controlled by the group.
So today, Al-Nabar, which is one of the kind of main outlets of the group, went public and they were expressing pride about the attack.
But at the same time, they didn't claim the attack.
So the idea here from the statement was that it's inspired by ISIS, but that they were not ISIS members.
Thank you.
WSJ What’s News · America’s Business-Heavy Postwar Vision for Ukraine Triggers Clash With Europe · 11 Dec 2025 podcast

These places are seen as strategic business locations.
The Jared Kushner vision was obviously about prosperity for peace, right?
So political sovereignty doesn't matter as much as the economic well-being of the population.
And the same vision in some way applies in the ideas that go around this potential Ukraine-Russian settlement, that really economic well-being.
Well-being is the driver more than the political or security side.
What's in it for business, for the economy, not about the military or security side of the conversation.
