The New Atlas | US Shell Factory Exposed: Why US For-Profit Industry Can't Compete with Russian/Chinese Production | Aug. 13, 2026
The US had set the target of manufacturing 100,000 155 mm artillery shells every month by the end of 2025.
Instead, it has failed to reach even half this target.
This is in part due to an entire General Dynamics factory that failed to make a single usable shell component in 2 years and after receiving hundreds of millions of dollars to do so.
Far from just an issue with artillery shells, US military industrial production is being held back by systemic flaws rooted in the for-profit nature of the US government and economy itself - siphoning off billions (if not trillions) of tax dollars and not only returning nothing of value for the American public - but diverting funding abroad on wars of aggression at the expense of funding healthcare, education, and infrastructure at home.
This reveals US for-profit industry as the very threat in reality to the American people, industry and the politicians they own, claim Russia, China, and Iran are in fiction.

He places the burial in the Varangian story — Swedish warriors, traders, and settlers who moved into today's Belarus, Russia, and Ukraine in the 8th–9th centuries and helped form Kievan Rus.
Larry Johnson & Pepe Escobar | Breaking: Exposes Bessent's Dumbest Claim Yet Trump Says “Total Control” Iran Says No | Aug. 12, 2026
Source: Transition Protocol youtube
Description:
Strait of Hormuz irrelevant in two years? Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent said so on Aug. 8, claiming pipelines will replace most Gulf oil flow — but existing bypass capacity covers less than a quarter of what actually crosses Hormuz.
The same week, President Trump claimed “total control” of the Strait, and Iran's newly confirmed Supreme National Security Council chief, Mohsen Rezaei, said it stays shut until the US ends the war and returns frozen assets. Pepe Escobar, Larry Johnson, and Zulfiqar Ali break down all three claims against the actual numbers, plus the new Mecca Joint Defence Agreement and a US Strategic Petroleum Reserve that just hit its lowest level since 1983.
Beyond the headlines: what a stalled Hormuz reopening means for global diesel and jet fuel supply, why the US emergency oil reserve matters for every driver and airline, and what Pakistan's active back-channel diplomacy with Tehran could mean for the weeks ahead.
Verification note: claims in this episode are labeled Confirmed, Developing, or Assessment/Unverified throughout. Source-based intelligence is clearly flagged and should be weighed accordingly — we'd rather be right than first.

Description:
In this episode of the Silk and Steel Podcast, Carl Zha is joined by Australian economist and geopolitical analyst Dr. Warwick Powell for a wide-ranging discussion about the changing balance of power from the Persian Gulf to East Asia.
The conversation begins with the continuing war involving Iran and the strategic consequences of the Strait of Hormuz. Dr. Powell argues that the conflict could have consequences far beyond the battlefield, particularly through disruptions to oil, diesel and other petroleum-derived products.
The discussion then turns to a much bigger question: what happens when America’s allies begin preparing for a world in which the U.S. can no longer guarantee their security?

Pepe Escobar | Khamenei Pivots After Secret Six-Hour Meeting with Pezeshkian; Pakistan Mecca Pact Shakes Eurasia | August 12, 2026
Source: Transition Protocol youtube
Description:
On Transition Protocol, Pepe Escobar walks through a tightly packed Iran–Pakistan–Eurasia brief: a reported secret six-hour meeting between Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei and President Masoud Pezeshkian, and what a “pivot” in Tehran’s internal and regional posture could signal.
Escobar also flags Pakistan’s Mecca-linked diplomacy as a potential shock to wider Eurasian alignments—how religious, security, and trade vectors can move together when great-power pressure is high.
The conversation ties these moves to the broader multipolar map: Iranian decision-making under stress, Islamabad’s balancing act, and why opaque elite meetings matter more than the daily headline cycle.
Larry Johnson | US 10x Surge in THAAD & PAC-3 Ammo; Yemeni Rockets Hit Saudi Command | Aug. 11, 2026
Source: Dialogue Works youtube, Sonar21.com
Description:
On Dialogue Works, Larry Johnson digs into a reported US push to massively expand THAAD and PAC-3 interceptor stocks—what a roughly tenfold ammo surge says about expected threat volume, production bottlenecks, and how thin Western air-defense magazines already are.
He pairs that industrial signal with battlefield news from the Arabian Peninsula: Yemeni rockets striking Saudi command infrastructure, and what that implies for Riyadh’s security perimeter and for any coalition still treating missile defense as a clean technological fix.
Johnson’s frame is practical rather than theatrical: interceptor economics, salvo math, and the gap between stockpiles on paper and sustained high-intensity conflict. Escalation risk sits in the logistics, not only in the headlines.

Description:
Danny Haiphong speaks with Col. Lawrence Wilkerson about a sharp escalation across multiple theaters: Russian and North Korean munitions striking targets around Kiev, and Iranian forces engaging US naval assets.
Wilkerson places the strikes in the wider collapse of proxy-war assumptions—how Moscow’s firepower, Pyongyang’s industrial support, and Tehran’s regional posture together pressure Washington’s strategy and expose the limits of escalation management.
They also unpack what this means for US ships in contested waters, risk of wider war framing (“WW3”), and why diplomatic off-ramps keep shrinking as kinetic facts on the ground outrun official narratives.
