The "Wrecking Ball" Era: The Disintegration of the Old Order

The "Wrecking Ball" Era: The Disintegration of the Old Order

The "Wrecking Ball" Era: The Disintegration of the Old Order

We are not witnessing mere turbulence; we are living through a period of total structural transformation. As of February 15, 2026, the so-called "post-1945 international order" is being reduced to rubble by the very power that built it. Washington’s "wrecking-ball politics" has moved from a strategy of reform to one of deliberate demolition. History is accelerating. For those of us who have survived the worst of imperialist aggression, this collapse is no surprise. It is the inevitable outcome of an order founded on unilateral hegemony. Today, high-stakes military conflicts, the militarization of AI, and economic fragmentation are converging to forge a world that no longer asks for permission.

The breakdown is occurring across all fronts:

Geopolitics: The retreat of the U.S. from its role as "global guarantor" in favor of raw, transactional coercion is creating a vacuum that the Axis of Resistance and emerging powers are already filling.

Military: The rapid integration of AI into the battlefield marks a shift in the nature of struggle—a shift met by strategic awareness and historical resilience.

Economics: The death of liberal globalization and the fragmentation of trade networks mean that economic sovereignty is now the ultimate frontline.

We are at the threshold of a new reality. Stay tuned for our upcoming briefings as we analyze how history is being rewritten in real-time.

Stay informed.

Drums of Nuclear War and the Race to the Abyss: The Global Militarization of 2026

We are not merely witnessing border skirmishes; we are seeing the big bang of global militarism. As of February 15, 2026, the war in Ukraine has entered its fourth year. Moscow’s strategy has pivoted toward the total systematic destruction of civilian infrastructure, forcing Europe into a desperate "survival mode" as energy grids fail under the weight of a brutal winter. However, the most volatile frontline remains our waters. In the Red Sea, Western coalitions have failed to break the will of Sana’a. Yemeni operations continue to enforce the "siege for siege" equation, compelling powers like India to deploy massive naval assets to the Gulf, transforming the region into a floating powder keg.

The Cold Reality of the Numbers:

Defense Spending: Global military expenditure has hit a historic post-Cold War peak, nearing $2.7 trillion. The focus has shifted from conventional manpower to the lethal integration of AI, unmanned swarms, and electronic warfare.

The Doomsday Clock: Following the expiration of the New START treaty on February 5, 2026—the last pillar of nuclear restraint—the Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists has set the Doomsday Clock to 85 seconds to midnight. We are now closer to global annihilation than at any point in human history. History is accelerating, and the world is arming itself to the teeth—not for defense, but to impose a new reality through raw kinetic force. In such a world, resistance is not a choice; it is the only path to survival.

Stay informed. The stakes have never been higher.
