WWW: Russia Fires Nuclear Capable “Oreshnik” Hypersonic Missiles & BRICS Flexes at Sea; and Introducing Military Horoscope of the Week

It’s time for another Worldwide Wednesday, and if you make it through the video you can scroll down further for our first Military Horoscope of the Week.

There’s a lot going on in the world, and in this week’s video, I track the biggest geopolitical moves shaping the next 90 days — from Arctic alliance friction to Ukraine ceasefire-force planning, hypersonic strike signaling, and BRICS Plus naval cooperation.

In this episode 🔎:

• 🇬🇱 Greenland + NATO: Trump’s renewed Greenland “takeover” talk and the diplomatic blowback inside allied relationships

• 🇺🇦 Ukraine: UK & France planning for a potential post-ceasefire troop presence, and Russia warning foreign troops would be treated as targets

• 🇷🇺 Russia: another use of the nuclear-capable hypersonic “Oreshnik” during a major strike package

• 🇨🇳🇷🇺🇮🇷 BRICS Plus: China–Russia–Iran naval drills off South Africa and what that coalition signaling means • Iran: nationwide protests, an internet blackout dynamic, and crackdown signals (separate deep dive also available)

• ⛑️ Humanitarian aid: the U.S. $2B shift into a new UN delivery mechanism after major aid cuts • Venezuela: U.S. action protecting Venezuelan oil revenue held in U.S. accounts (separate deep dive also available)

• 🇫🇷🇷🇺 France–Russia: prisoner swap involving Laurent Vinatier and Daniil Kasatkin

• 🇧🇬 Bulgaria: government mandate crisis and why snap elections look increasingly likely

• 🇺🇸 U.S. policy: Washington exits a global violent-extremism prevention body and what that signals about prevention vs enforcement

✨🪖🌙 Military Horoscope of the Week: Aquarius ♒️

Welcome to the first installment of my first newsletter series, Military Horoscopes of the week! Starting with the age of Aquarius since it’s that time of year (I googled).

Aquarius, this week the universe is giving you that look. You know the one—like your chief used to do right before assigning you to something that starts with “quick” but lasts 6–12 business months. Cosmic energy says you’re entering your “I didn’t sign up for this but I guess I’ll handle it like a champ” era. Again.

Expect unexpected motivation to appear out of nowhere, like when snacks randomly showed up during field day and suddenly morale existed again. Your leadership energy is high, so people may start asking you for advice, guidance, or help fixing something you absolutely did not break.

Love life? Mercury is in retrograde, but you’re in perpetual “I’ve survived worse” mode, so you’ll be fine. If you’re in a relationship, prepare for affectionate sarcasm. If you’re single, prepare to look extremely attractive doing absolutely nothing productive.

Finances look good unless you walk into the PX. Then whatever happens… happens.

Strength: Strategic chaos

Weakness: Saying “I’m fine” when you’ve slept 3 hours and coffee is now part of your bloodstream

Lucky item: That random gear you refuse to throw away “just in case”

Mood of the week: Calm, capable, and mildly sarcastic

Carry on, Aquarius. The stars salute you.
