This is such a sad and pathetic time in history. The open source intelligence (OSINT) stuff tells a story, but I feel that it’s important that people focus their finite attention on the right things with the correct lenses to have a more accurate view of current events, risks, and threats. There’s a lot of uncertainties right now regarding the war with Russia, the future of the EU, World War 3.0, and many other relevant topics. This uncertainty isn’t just shared by the little people, but I’m seeing it also shared by those who command the little people. Uncertainty infers change, and change involves varying degrees of instability. I think this instability is a potential powder keg considering that the entire world order is undergoing significant changes to the dismay of the West.

I have to go off on a tangent here, but looking at Trump – when his administration took office I thought there would be a decent chance that we’d hear DJT make remarks that reflected the realities of the war with Russia from a posture of respect, honesty, and compassion in recognition of the wound channel that the U.S. and UK ripped open via Ukraine. Instead of using his charm and finesse, he exercised his ego and issued an ultimatum and threat to the Russians to capitulate (which is neither likely nor a realistic proposition).
