The world is entering a phase of acute energy and military turbulence. Brent crude has broken through $100 for the first time since July amid US strikes on Iranian tankers and Tehran's attacks on shipping in the Strait of Hormuz. Simultaneously, escalation in the Russian-Ukrainian theater of operations: massive UAV strikes on Kryvyi Rih, Sumy, Sochi and Odesa, 221 combat engagements in 24 hours, critical shortage of AIM-120/AIM-9 missiles for F-16s in the Ukrainian Armed Forces. In the US, Trump is mobilizing Republicans ahead of the midterm elections, using the rhetoric "I'm on the ballot." Britain has arrested a suspect on suspicion of working for Russian intelligence, intensifying the spy scandal. Spain faced a mass crossing of migrants into Ceuta after intelligence warnings. Google announced Europe's largest investment of €13 billion in Finland. Weathervane: the global system is moving from deterrence to open bets on force; risks to energy and security have sharply increased.
