Consequences

Trump has successfully demonstrated the tactic of threatening dire consequences to bring latent matters to the forefront, to wit: Greenland – the intended consequence was not “taking” this island but forcing Denmark to send arms to protect against China/Russia closing the new sea-lanes. The intended consequences of saying he was going to withdraw from NATO suddenly inspired the members to start paying up; and pressuring Cuba to change regimes by controlling Venezuelan oil….

Victory in Iran: Trump did it with Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, Kuwait, Bahrain, Qatar, Oman AND Israel on our side.

Move over, Marilyn Monroe. Your happy birthday to President Kennedy is nothing compared to Trump ringing in his 80th with a UFC bout, the Marine Corps Band and a flyover by the Thunderbirds and Blue Angels over the mall with its restored reflecting pool that no longer suffers the aftermath of the Kenyan Klown’s benighted presidency.

Also on Sunday, Iran’s third-string regime waved the white flag and gave up.

Oil Falls Below $80 For First Time in More Than Three Months

U.S. Army at 250 Plus One

The United States of America is 250 years old this year, because for the year before, the U.S. Army (The Continental Line) was in the field fighting for freedom. This Nation forged by war is remarkably un-militaristic. Yet, the free-thinking, independent, faithfully Christian, rowdy half the country is fiercely pro-military. Freedom-loving Americans expect the well-disciplined, tightly run Army to be the best in the world and stay in their lane. Fight wars and win.

Communist China Has Hollowed Out the UN: Decades of successful CCP subterfuge

The United Nations was chartered in 1945 as a creation of American strategic vision – a Pax Americana scaffolding dressed in multilateral language that was intended to be a cornerstone of the American-made international order shaped after World War II. That calculus has been fundamentally altered over time. The institution has been methodically infiltrated, staffed, and redirected by the Chinese Communist Party over the past 25+ years, transforming the UN from a tool America shaped into a platform Beijing increasingly controls – and paid for in large part by the American taxpayer.

STRIKING: Congressman says Iran is operating in Cuba #shorts

Rep. Carlos Gimenez, R-Fla., joins ‘Mornings with Maria’ to discuss Cuba’s reported drone capabilities, concerns about foreign adversaries operating on the island and his outlook on the future of the Cuban regime.

Water Wars Were Supposed to Be Here by Now. AI May Have Other Plans.

Twenty years ago, military planners and policy experts warned that the wars of the future would be fought over water. The wars never came—at least not in the way we expected. Today, however, a new competitor is entering the fight for one of humanity’s most precious resources: artificial intelligence. As massive data centers consume vast amounts of power and cooling water, rivers, lakes, and aquifers are becoming strategic assets once again. The future battle for water may not involve tanks and soldiers, but corporations, regulators, and communities struggling to determine who gets access to the fuel that powers the digital age. Perhaps the water warriors of the early 2000s weren’t wrong. They were simply ahead of their time.
