Larry's Summary.

 A good one: 

Some very consequential statements and movements today. The biggest — and most alarming — comes from Vladimir Putin. He minces no words — any attack inside Russia with Western precision missiles will be treated as an act of war and Russia will respond accordingly. ... This should be setting off alarm bells at the Pentagon and USEUCOM (US European Command) and NATO. But, I think that the military lightweights infesting these various commands have persuaded themselves that Moscow is just blowing hot air. This is the kind of miscalculation that can lead to reckless decisions on the part of NATO and Ukraine. While Putin is leaving no doubt about the position of Russia if such weapons are used, the reality on the ground in Ukraine is turning more dire for Ukraine with each passing day. Russia is announcing the capture of at least three settlements a day in the Donbass and is moving forward with determined lethality in the Kursk region. There is nothing that Ukraine can do, even with support from NATO, to alter the path to defeat.

I plan to talk about this warning in detail tomorrow. Then Larry delivers... classic Larry, LOL)))

Then there is the inability of the US to sustain a military erection in the Persian Gulf. After rushing two aircraft carrier task forces to the Middle East in anticipation of Iran launching a retaliatory strike on Israel, the United States has ordered the USS Roosevelt to leave West Asia (i.e., the Persian Gulf) and head east towards China. I am sure that US planners will be celebrating this deployment as proof that they frightened Iran into backing down from its promised retaliation. But, I suggest it is premature to pop champagne corks because Iran will strike at a time and place of its choosing.

This is a really good one. Sustainability, you know))) Read and watch at Larry's blog.
