Trail
Connection thesis
Hegseth's firing of Army Chief of Staff signals Trump administration's escalatory posture on Iran conflict, contradicting prior de-escalation narrative. Simultaneous drone strikes on Kuwait refinery, BOJ rate-hike warnings, and NATO crisis indicate regime shift from geopolitical containment to active confrontation. Markets have NOT yet repriced this structural break in policy continuity.
