B-1B Lancers flying in international airzones close to Venezuela’s airspace Provoking radar installations for mapping/targeting. Venezuela forced into being partially blind by keeping a few stations off for future use, keeping all radar stations on in case one run turns out to be the real one (and all targets known) but becoming complacent due to fatigue of false positives.
Government Shutdown extends to Nov 1, SNAP does not pay out, civil unrest caused by food uncertainties Insurrections major cities > Justification for invocation of Insurrection Act (protective assets already in play). Later on, this is justified and converted into a State of National Emergency via a state of war with elements of South America.
Carrier to Caribbean serves double purpose of offensive / homeland shield. Canada and Mexico are not stable allies, present and historically. A land removal of drug forces would have to conduct strikes in at least Mexico, Colombia, Venezuela or be caught in the same limiting-warfare of Vietnam where forces were coming from Cambodia. This is why Argentina was so important, serves as a counter-vailing ally in South America when things go hot. Ditto with Guianas.
Russia is being indirectly told to either take all of Ukraine if they can (because supposedly they are a superpower) or end the bloodshed via a compromise treaty. Ukraine has clearly become Russia’s second Afghanistan.
Israel is cornered into behaving, if they attempt to annex the West Bank after the Gaza Peace Treaty they will demonstrate to the world bad faith. If they do not allow the other signatories to remedy problems within Gaza, they demonstrate to the world bad faith. However, keep in mind “the prophets of Israel who prophesied concerning Jerusalem and saw visions of peace for her, when there was no peace, declares the Lord God.” (Ezekiel 13:16) and “They have healed the wound of my people lightly, saying, ‘Peace, peace,’ when there is no peace.” (Jeremiah 6:14). The Lord, the Lion of Judah, is both Redeemer and sole Judge of his land.
“And it was allowed to give breath to the image of the beast, so that the image of the beast might even speak and might cause those who would not worship the image of the beast to be slain.” (Revelation 13:15) Agentic AI will become even more capable, autonomous, and risk veering into Revelation territory.
Portland National Guard Judicial blockade was game-theory, enabled removing of judicial spoilation during future larger deployment when the stakes are much higher during the invocation of the Insurrection Act. Insurrection Act is not ideal because it is a piece of legislation, legislation passed can be legislation repealed by legislators. Article II powers established/verified by the Judicial Branch can not be similarly unwound by the legislature.
What stuff have I missed?
