The rules of war have changed. Are we ready for the consequences?

In this deep dive, we uncover the crumbling architecture of global security in 2026. From the seismic signatures of China’s "decoupled" nuclear tests to the deployment of the USS Preble’s sci-fi laser weapons, the old treaties are dead.

We break down the leaked State Department cables and intelligence reports that paint a terrifying picture:

• China: How Beijing is allegedly using "decoupling" to hide tactical nuke tests underground.

• The US Navy: The HELIOS laser system isn't a test anymore—it's a hard-kill weapon deployed to stop drone swarms.

• Pakistan: Why the "Human Reservoir" strategy signals a total state collapse.

• Iran: The "Shadow Talks" in Oman and the failure of sanctions.

We are moving from a world of diplomatic verification to a world of raw physics and "hard kills." Listen in to understand what happens when the guardrails fall off.
