  1. Is military might always the answer for complex global issues? Paul Krugman challenges the "lethality fairy" fantasy, a dangerous belief that overwhelming violence alone can resolve Iran's intricate challenges. He points out that seizing Kharg Island won't solve oil exports or secure 1,000km of coastline, and President Trump’s inconsistent threats, devoid of coherent strategy, only lead to a quagmire. Dive deeper into Krugman’s critical analysis to understand why this approach lacks an endgame: paulkrugman.substack.com/p/pet #Iran #DefensePolicy #Krugman

  2. The Israel-Iran conflict has crossed a nuclear threshold with strikes near sensitive facilities.

  8. CW: Politik

    In DE quatscht ja gerne jeder über #Zeitenwende, aber alle tun so, als wären wir in den frühen 90ern. Dass da wirklich die größte geopolitische Transformation stattfindet seit dem Sturz des Warschauer Paktes (evtl. ist das aber auch die gleiche, nur jetzt nächste Phase), bleibt im lokalen politmedialen Komplex seltsam unbehandelbar. Anderswo halt nicht. Sehr interessante Kolumne von @APHClarkson

  9. "Broadly, the strategy lays out what Defense officials see as the current weaknesses in U.S. industrial capacity and describes four main priorities for shoring them up: building more resilient supply chains, increasing the industrial workforce, using more flexible acquisition policies, and economic #deterrence."

    Watch how badly the legislative class cocks this up.
