Washington, D.C., Dec. 10, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- An on-camera video presentation from former CIA counter-terrorism officer Buck Sexton is now available to the public, offering a firsthand breakdown of how artificial intelligence is reshaping global security, military strategy, and the balance of power between nations.

The video, which details what he calls “Manhattan 2,” marks Sexton’s latest in-depth presentation on emerging technologies and national defense. It is now accessible for on-demand viewing and was created to provide audiences with a clearer understanding of the forces driving today’s rapid technological and geopolitical shifts. Sexton uses the term to capture the broader pattern he believes is unfolding across these developments.

Unlike traditional written reports, “Manhattan 2” is delivered entirely as a visual presentation, allowing Sexton to guide viewers through complex developments in a direct, narrative-driven format.

What Viewers Will Find in the “Manhattan 2” Video

The presentation is intended for audiences seeking context around:

  • The accelerating role of artificial intelligence in military systems
  • How autonomous technology is changing defense planning
  • Why global competition around advanced computing has intensified
  • What intelligence analysts are watching most closely in the years ahead

Sexton draws from his background in intelligence and counter-terrorism to translate these developments into language accessible to the general public.
