Analyst's Summary: Iran is the kinetic front, but Russia is the armorer and China is the digital architect. The Triple Axis is successfully using asymmetric tools to turn a military victory in Tehran into a potential economic collapse in New York and London.

The US financial SWIFT gateways are the most critical asymmetric vulnerability in the United States right now. While the news is focused on missiles in the Middle East, the Iranian strategy for a "decisive" response involves "unplugging" the American consumer from their money.

apnews.com/article/faa-... So please explain why the airport and surrounding airspace will be closed for a very specific period. I am not a person who deals in wild, unfounded speculation, but the intelligence indicators are beginning to line up.

Fred Trump’s Limerick I built from bricks and the grime, Made fortunes one buck at a time. Taught my boy to pretend, That the truth’s just to bend— And cheating’s not theft—if it’s mine.

Retired Marine & historian. I write plainly about the past and what it warns us. Not here for noise. If you value sober minds and hard truths, you're welcome.

The Despot Cometh Among the sheep invective flies, Where voices bleat for despot sly. Ignorant minds in fervor roar, Misplaced rage upon the poor. He cries “Freedom!” with chains that bind, A hater's grip upon the blind. On despot’s face, equality fades, As truth is lost his lies invade.

Sadly, there are huge sectors of our society that would disagree they've been free from oppression. In the remote chance the current situation can be turned around we need to keep those multitudes in mind.
