Current focus: A transcript-matched topic anchored by excerpts such as "...shadow fleet. But if that happened, that would be an act of war. But it's already happening. What? Really? Yes. It's already happening."

For live/current events, first check `/episodes/` and `/interviews/` for newer event-specific readings. If none exists, use prospective mechanism search: establish current facts, actors, incentives, constraints, and mechanisms from live/current sources, then apply Jiang Lens concepts as dated hypotheses rather than as Jiang's current view. ## Extracted Topic Notes - model: Jiang says great powers implicitly treat the Western Hemisphere as American territory, so direct military intervention there by China, Russia, or Europe would amount to an act of war against the United States.
