Winners, Losers and Links
They got a name for the winners in the world, I want a name when I lose…
Winners
Plan Trusters - They stood by the Donald and can now brag. Long general election season ahead with many unknown unknowns out there.
Yemenis - They sank another ship. US bombings not slowing them down. They will continue to get support as these actions all generate data for Iran and China to analyze.
Crypto Bros - Knocking out ATHs, Boomers pouring into the ETFs, and normies buying alt coins. Make money.
Machete Salesmen - If that State of the Union is any indication for the remainder of the decade, sales will be up.
Losers
Northern Israelis - These citizens have been displaced for months. Now Israel is barking at Hezbollah and things may get much worse.
Nikki Haley - Had she exited after NH or SC she would have positioned herself as a leader of non-MAGA for ‘28. She stayed in too long and now tarnished her image.
EU Industry - Lights are going out not metaphorically but literally as they shut down nuke reactors, lean on renewables and say no to Russian energy. Can a continent live on being a museum?

Zuck funded a pro-crime agenda too. Enjoy those goofy shirts and MMA lessons.
I think we’re having an unrealized “color” revolution in shipping and naval warfare. Between 🇷🇺Black Sea Fleet getting sunk or trapped at Berths and the Red Sea commerce drone interdiction;
Drones are taking an early lead on commerce raiding, which means many small drones may be the way to ship, meaning a lot of small cargoes and not large floating container vessels.
-AND drone swarms may have just substantially moved naval warfare for Combatant ships as Russia’s Black Sea Fleet is has been trapped at port, if they move target practice.
A British Admiral is chief advisor to the Ukrainians on this…
Now in likelihood a balance will be found, but not without suffering.
Important to consider often the best counter is like vs like- the most efficient counter to drones other drones. If enemies swarm you with cheap FPV drones, swarm back in kind. Not as if the drones aren’t explosive guided bombs. Just hit them back with same.
FPV - First Person View.
Short range drone swarms to ram or explode near the enemy drones with FPV operators on the Naval or Commerce ships may be the most cost effective defense.
