So, where do we go from here?. Project Ukraine has failed: the US will leave it to the Europeans, who are beginning to show signs of desperation. Project Iran is also showing signs of failing, although we aren't at the desperation phase yet. Bibi is still trying to stay out of.

'Israeli media reports that an "unknown air defense system" was used to shoot down targets over Tehran province.'. This system is possibly the 48N6E2(3) missile that Iran's S-300 (or S-400) launchers could use. The 48N6E2 (48N6D) has a range of 200 km and a speed of Mach 6.5.

Experience in Ukraine and Israel has shown that Western air defense systems are pretty useless. In fact, Ukraine did better with its old, Soviet-era S-300 systems than with the overrated Patriot that proved incapable of defending itself, much less anything else. In addition to.

Let's repeat the situation with Iran. Israel doesn't have enough stand-off weapons to do significant damage to Iran. Israel will not attack with planes overflying Iran, primarily because of the danger to the needed tankers. Iran does have enough missiles to wipe out Israel.

If this is it, the Israeli attack was a nothinburger. First, they did not try to enter Iranian airspace with planes, but only used standoff weapons. Second, the first stage of the attack, designed to suppress the Iranian air defenses, seems to have been a failure: the defenses

Plutonium from power reactors is unsuitable for weapons because it contains too much Pu-240. The Wikipedia article on Pu-240 provides a reasonably good explanation of why.
The premise of this article is that Ukraine can magically extract the traces of plutonium from their dumps of spent nuclear fuel and then somehow refine and manufacture that plutonium into nuclear pits. Ukraine has zero nuclear reprocessing capability. A deluded, empty threat.

The war with China (and not just a Cold War) is unavoidable. America cannot allow any power to overtake it. It has nothing to do with freedom, democracy, Taiwan, or other idiotic excuses. The Chinese are deluding themselves if they think they can "rise peacefully.". They have to.
“The Thucydides’s Trap is not a historical inevitability. A new Cold War should not be fought and cannot be won. Containing China is unwise, unacceptable and bound to fail.”. Although Xi said this to Biden, the message was really intended for Trump and the establishment.
