Everyone Is Watching Israel, Iran, Russia and Ukraine. Nobody Is Watching the Interceptor They All Run Out Of.
The weapon no longer decides the war. The cost of stopping it does.
Geopolitics is rarely decided by events.

These chapters trace the energy corridors, sanctions regimes and strategic competition that outlast whoever holds office.
