🇺🇸🇮🇷⚡️ — NEW: Vice President JD Vance contacted senior U.S. commanders in spring and summer for direct assessments on the Iran war before Pentagon consolidation, according to NYT.

➤ Commanders warned the conflict was severely depleting key U.S. munitions, especially Patriot interceptors and long-range missiles.
➤ One theater had fewer than 100 Patriot interceptors left by late spring.
➤ They assessed Iran was more resilient than expected and willing to absorb significant losses.
➤ Vance, an early opponent of the war, took these concerns to President Trump while pushing to end the conflict.

🍔 🇺🇸 💵 Multipolarity: Super Size Me II - Malcom Kyeyune on The Burger Theory of History, Revisited:

The Burger Theory is the idea that, since the pandemic of 2020, the rising costs of basic necessities is feeding a malaise that is eating into our society. The sense not that we are in yet another cost of living crisis. But that the system itself is failing.

Much like it did in late-80s Russia, when Soviet citizens were confronted with the Big Mac, and knew that their Leninist world view simply could not stack up. A few years later, the economic Iron Curtain truly tumbled when Mikhail Gorbachev did an advert for Pizza Hut.

Now, as the Hormuz crisis after the Covid crisis after the Ukraine crisis once again strangulates the delicately balanced trading system of the West, he’s ordering a second helping – with fries.
