## Resource

As US Escalation Continues vs. Iran, US Proxies Escalate vs. China in the Asia-Pacific - The US continues escalating despite daily “mixed signals” from the US administration aimed at dragging public opinion in favor of a much longer and costly war than could be sold upfront; - The US, as it escalates with Iran, continues waging proxy war with Russia in Ukraine as well as attacking Russia with long-range drones targeting energy production and exports, as well as pushing Asia-Pacific proxies in encroaching upon and provoking China; - The US seeks to undermine, contain, and collapse all geopolitical rivals, falling short of this, the US will settle for destroying Eurasia, Africa, and Latin America and emerging out the other end of global catastrophe as the “strongest” relative to its rivals; References: The New Atlas - YouTube Post: https://www.youtube.com/post/UgkxOW_KzL3nprVgHLaa1LhOXknmNCf2vdSJ The New Atlas - X post: https://x.com/BrianJBerletic/status/2037692676804641012 Reuters - Ukrainian drones strike Russia's Ust-Luga port again, sources say oil terminal hit (Mar. 31, 2026) https://www.reuters.com/world/europe/ukraine-drones-damage-russias-ust-luga-port-again-governor-says-2026-03-31/ Guardian - Japan to deploy missiles to island near Taiwan by 2031, says defence minister: https://www.theguardian.com/world/2026/feb/25/japan-missiles-yonaguni-island-near-taiwan-2031-defence-minister#:~:text=1%20month%20old-,Japan%20to%20deploy%20missiles%20to%20island%20near%20Taiwan%20by%202031,an%20existential%20threat%20to%20Japan US State Dept., Office of the Historian - Courses of Action in Vietnam (1965): https://archive.ph/Ar01H#selection-2525.0-2525.28 Where to Find My Work: Website: https://landdestroyer.blogspot.com/ Telegram: https://t.me/brianlovethailand Twitter:…
