Security, @Vikings & @UNDmhockey. @AdamCarolla said I was "funny" while @Gladwell said I make "strong, and puzzling, claims." @whitehouse & @WishekSchool alum

“Power belongs to countries that absorb pressure without breaking while still applying pressure themselves.”

Latest “Pressure vs. Pressure” analysis on @Medi1tv.

Modern conflicts are increasingly won by endurance, resilience and strategic pressure.

New Pressure vs. Pressure Update:

The framework sits on paper.

Pressure sits in the water.

A nuclear weapon is Iran's insurance policy.

Hormuz is its daily weapon.

The talks stalled.

The pressure didn't.

"It's not a nuclear weapon. To the Iranians the Strait of Hormuz is more valuable to them than a nuclear weapon. That's what they found out - that pressure finds the weak point."

New Pressure vs. Pressure Update:

U.S.-Iran talks produced a framework.

Not peace.

Agreement exists on paper. Pressure is still in the ground.

Hormuz. Uranium. Sanctions. Shipping. Energy. Political pressure.

Pressure finds the weak point first.

"Trump treats communications and media as a weapon."
"He treats media the way a military war planner treats terrain"

Trump treats the press the way a military planner treats terrain.

The “Donroe Doctrine” is really a pressure doctrine.

Canada: Pressure Steady
Cuba: Pressure Rising
Venezuela: Pressure Breaking

Governments crack long before they collapse on paper.

Iran doesn't need to defeat U.S. militarily to reshape battlefield.

Pressure on shipping, energy, insurance & global markets changes political calculations long before armies collapse.

This conflict is pressure v pressure.

Always appreciated the humor of @adamcarolla. Congrats on the Walk of Fame.

Bigger takeaway is hearing @jimmykimmel talk about staying friends even when politics tries to push us apart.

A lesson many of us need right now.

Jimmy Kimmel shares hilarious stories and gets emotional during Adam Carolla's Hollywood Walk of Fame ceremony:

“Adam and I, as you probably know, don’t agree much when it comes to politics, but I love him dearly. I have never worked with anyone funnier.”

As the Cabinet meeting wraps at #WhiteHouse, the real work starts.

Most meetings don’t fail in the room. They fail when teams leave without decisions and pressure hits the operation.

“Modern conflict is no longer about who destroys more targets. It’s about who absorbs and applies pressure longer.”

A deal may be coming.

But these are not peace talks.
These are pressure talks.
Pressure is now a weapon system.
Where is our next Strait of Hormuz?

Tonight on @AJEnglish

[Mark Pfeifle @pfeifle]

“The negotiation isn’t whether there will be a deal. It’s about who moves first under pressure.”

My latest w UAE's @EremNews on mediation talks, why negotiations btw Trump & Tehran now revolve on pressure, shipping & energy leverage as much as uranium.

These aren’t peace talks.

They’re pressure talks.

One hand negotiates. The other stays on the trigger.

➡️PRESSURE HOLDING: UKRAINE

Ukraine faces missile attacks, manpower strain and uncertainty over Western aid.

But Russia pays heavily for every mile gained.

Moscow needs West to fracture first.

So far, hasn’t happened.

Pressure vs Pressure.

30 years working where political, military, economic & public pressure collide, 1 lesson repeats: Pressure exposes reality before politicians admit it.

This week tracks:
• U.S. vs Iran
• Russia vs Ukraine

Today's @TippInsightsHQ https://t.co/12cQYZr4SM

[Mark Pfeifle @pfeifle]

⬆️PRESSURE RISING: RUSSIA

Time is Russia's weapon.

But Ukraine strikes refineries, rail hubs & military targets deep inside Russia.

Russia’s central bank held rates near 21% while defense spending consumes 40% of fed budget.

That is not strength.
That is pressure absorption.
