Chris Martenson, the Duke trained scientist behind Peak Prosperity, sees three fronts converging: Russian strikes on the “zero hour” targets that hold the global economy together, hacks like this week’s $6.3 billion Binance heist blamed on North Korea, and a derivatives market he puts at a couple quadrillion dollars:

“If they hit those zero hour targets, we’re going to take the global economy and we’re going to put it into just a catastrophe.”

Bases are being built to last 90 days alone, while most households have nothing close to that.

  Mario Nawfal (@MarioNawfal)🇺🇸 🇮🇷 The Army is drilling to bury as many as 2,400 fallen soldiers in a single day… and a ground war near Iran could make it real.

Chris Martenson warns US boots on the ground near Iran could mean losses on an Iwo Jima scale, and even his best case ends with the world running short on the basics:

“That slow throttling is just going to drip along until at some point we wake up as a world and go, oh, we do not have enough oil or oil products or fertilizer or sulfur to conduct a business like we used to.”

A shortage that slow is easy to ignore until the tanks and shelves run thin.

Azerbaijan’s President Ilham Aliyev skipped Turkic states summit in Ankara despite a personal invitation from Erdogan.

The two leaders have spent years presenting Turkey and Azerbaijan as “two states, one nation,” but tensions are now spilling into the open.

The latest fight began after Turkish officials criticized Azerbaijan’s restrictions on headscarves in schools, prompting Baku to warn outsiders against interfering in its domestic affairs.

Azerbaijan has also declared 31 Turkish nationals persona non grata over social media posts criticizing Baku.

Behind that dispute is a much bigger divide over Israel, Turkey’s rapprochement with Armenia, and how much influence Ankara should have in Azerbaijan.

Erdogan tried to cool things down at the summit, saying there was “no place for separation, division, or conflict in our family picture.”

Aliyev still did not show up.
