The most critical vulnerability of U.S. military power lies not on the battlefield, but in its supply chains.
This article examines how deep dependence on Chinese-controlled critical materials systematically undermines Washington’s deterrence posture in the Indo-Pacific. Drawing on Pentagon data, RAND assessments, and industrial analyses, it reveals a strategic catch-22 in which military action appears urgent—but materially unsustainable.
Donald Trump presents himself as a peacemaker for Gaza – through the creation of a so-called “Board of Peace.” But behind the humanitarian rhetoric lies a far more disturbing reality.
In Part 1 of this three-part series, I dismantle the origins, historical backdrop, and legal contradictions of this initiative. When those who enabled destruction suddenly claim to deliver peace, the claim itself demands scrutiny.
This first installment exposes why the “Board of Peace” is not a solution, but a structural continuation of power, impunity, and geopolitical coercion. Parts 2 and 3 will reveal who stands to gain – and why Gaza is merely the test case.
A president who openly discards international law. Four global fronts. And a final attempt to save American hegemony.
“Operation Pivot” reveals why Trump’s actions are not chaos, but a ruthless strategy: oil, chokepoints, de-dollarization – and a world order collapsing in real time.
The “War on Drugs” functions less as a security policy than as a geopolitical tool.
Drawing on international drug data, historical precedents, and recent escalations, this article exposes how US drug-war rhetoric is repeatedly used to legitimize interventions, covert operations, and power projection—even where empirical evidence fails to support the official narrative.
Six decades. Three continents. One recurring pattern.
From Vietnam and Nicaragua to Afghanistan and Venezuela, this timeline exposes how the so-called “War on Drugs” was repeatedly subordinated to geopolitical objectives. Tolerance, instrumentalization, and selective outrage emerge as structural features of covert power projection—leaving destruction far beyond the drug trade itself.
Myanmar is collapsing next door – and Thailand is running out of room to maneuver.
As civil war, criminal networks and state fragmentation spill across borders, Bangkok is caught between humanitarian pressure, economic dependencies and great-power interests. ASEAN remains paralyzed, China quietly consolidates influence, and Thailand finds itself managing a crisis it can neither solve nor escape.
Greenland is not a frozen backwater — it is the breaking point of the Western security order. If the United States is willing to threaten NATO territory, a taboo collapses: who defends the alliance when the aggressor comes from within? This analysis explains why Greenland marks the next escalation after Venezuela — and why NATO may not survive it.

Venezuela was not a mistake — it was a rehearsal.
This subscriber-only analysis reveals what comes after the collapse of legal restraint: which regions are next, how China, Russia, and Iran are likely to respond, and why neutrality is no longer a viable strategy for smaller states. If you want to understand the rules of the world that is emerging now, this is the missing chapter.
The abduction of a sitting president, the seizure of oil tankers on the high seas, and the open violation of the UN Charter mark a historic rupture in international norms. Venezuela is not an isolated case—it is a blueprint. This article examines how power has replaced law, why the “rules-based order” no longer protects smaller states, and what this precedent means for global security in an emerging post-legal world order.
