In this week’s Carry On Podcast – SITREP (February 19th), Brad “Iceman” Colbert breaks down the rapidly tightening global escalation ladder.

• Two U.S. carrier groups positioned near Iran
• Strait of Hormuz disruptions and IRGC signaling
• Missile deployments to the Philippines
• Arctic NATO deterrence operations
• Militarized sanctions in SOUTHCOM
• Directed-energy systems deployed near El Paso
• Iran’s nuclear negotiation strategy via Oman
• What a limited U.S.–Iran strike campaign would actually look like
• The attempted assassination of Russia’s GRU deputy chief

Brad walks through the tripwires that could trigger conflict — nuclear breakout, mass casualties, Hormuz closure, or an Israeli preemptive strike — and explains why most modern wars begin not with declarations… but with escalation cycles.

This is not hype.
This is posture, power projection, deterrence, and consequences.

If you want clear-eyed analysis on geopolitics, military strategy, assassination campaigns, and emerging global flashpoints — you’re in the right place.
