WW3 Threat Assessment: Trump Bombing Iran Makes WW3 More Likely!
Trump, Andrew Bustamante, Annie Jacobsen, Benjamin Radd, Stephen
Following a controversial U.S. decapitation strike against the Iranian Supreme Leadership, a panel analysis predicts a violent shift to a proxy war of attrition involving regional militias and an accelerated global risk of nuclear escalation. Critics argue the operation, driven by an administration prioritizing unilateral "strongman" tactics over traditional intelligence, violates international sovereignty norms and undermines key alliances like the UK. The discussion concludes that these events signal the onset of a "dark decade" where AI-driven warfare, eroded democratic norms, and a fragmented multipolar order threaten to replace the established rules-based system.

Former CIA Spies (NEW): Leave the USA Before 2030! The CIA Tried To Ban This Story!
Andrew Bustamante, Jihi Bustamante
Andrew and Jihee Bustamante, a married CIA counterintelligence team, executed the "Shadow Cell" operation in a hostile nation to entrap a mole leaking classified secrets to a foreign adversary. While their innovative tactics successfully identified the spy and contributed to his 2019 arrest, Andrew was briefly compromised by the leak before executing a risky counter-elicitation escape from an airport screening. Although the Bustamantes pioneered a cell structure later adopted for the CIA's 2014 reorganization, their inability to confirm the specific mole's identity and subsequent demands for family accommodations led to their premature retirement.
