Russia’s Oreshnik Missile, Iran’s Revolution, & the End of NATO

The rules of 1945 are being abandoned in real-time as the global order shifts from a war of attrition to a landscape of high-tech "reflexive control". From hypersonic warnings over European capitals to an Iranian regime that is "strategically naked" for the first time since 1979, we examine a world where the race between diplomacy and humanitarian collapse is entering its most dangerous lap.

• The Oreshnik Message: We analyze Russia’s second operational use of the 13,000 km/h hypersonic missile and how it serves as a blunt psychological warning to NATO air defense architectures.

  
  

• Weaponizing Winter: A look at the "double-tap" strikes and the massive campaign targeting the Ukrainian energy grid during a fifteen-degree-below-zero cold snap to force a humanitarian crisis.
