Two international organizations that have lost all / most of their value:
NATO: Trump says he can "withdraw" from the UN. Some say he can't. It depends on the definition of "withdraw." Bill Clinton would see the double entendre even if Hillary missed it.
- Consider this prompt: US legal NATO requirements. Does Congress spell out how many troops the US must assign in each NATO country? In other words, a lot of latitude.
Excursion EPIC FURY is tracked here.
This is day 19.
If you've lost the bubble of Excursion EPIC FURY this might be a good day to catch up.
In the past nineteen days there have been three epic 24-hour periods.
Day 1.
Day 8.
Day 18. Yesterday/overnight.
Ras Laffan:
major developments. Although early reports are just coming in, this is
likely going to be a tipping point in the war. See Ras Laffan below.
Widening offensive: first-ever strikes in new area of Iran -- northern Iran.
Two under-reported stories:
- US sourcing more sophisticated drones from Ukraine to use in Operation EPIC FURY.
- Israel pushing farther into southern Lebanon to take on Hezbollah.
Coming: the four-week anniversary -- day 28 -- March 27, 2026. March 27, 2026 will be a Saturday.
- Israel sees this as a most important date.
Of note: we've not heard from / seen "the Supreme Leader." Until proven wrong, I am certain he is in Moscow.
Behind the scenes, Trump's coalition is building, not diminishing. Mainstream media is missing this story. There are three coalitions:
- the US-Israeli coalition;
- the GCC - US coalition; and,
- the traditional US - British / European coalition.
Qatar: has just expelled Iranian diplomats with 24-hour deadline as tensions mount. Qatar is not going to be safe haven for Iranian refugees.
Everyone has their sources to follow the war. Mine:
- The WSJ.
- Fox News.
- CENTCOM.
Ras (cape) Laffan: think of Ras (cape) Laffan as Houston / Baytown / Galveston on steroids, but emphasis on natural gas -- 93% of its output is natural gas vs less than 7% oil. Accounts for 20% of global natural gas consumption.
