The Dollar Fault Line is an engineering analysis of the global economy's structural fragility. It argues that the physical and financial plumbing of the dollar system has created a single point of failure. It's a book about how the system works and how it can mechanically break.

The global economy is dangerously dollar-dependent due to its centralized clearing infrastructure, creating a single point of failure vulnerable to sudden, catastrophic shocks.

The book focuses on the "plumbing"—the mechanics of Fedwire, CHIPS, FX swaps, and correspondent banking that form the "Manhattan Bottleneck." It emphasizes how non-market events—like a cyber-attack on clearing systems, a regional power outage, or a U.S. debt-ceiling standoff—can trigger an immediate global liquidity crisis.

The Dollar Fault Line is available everywhere books are sold.

War is no longer fought on conventional battlefields alone. The rise of asymmetric warfare has redefined the nature of conflict, where superior military power can be neutralized through unconventional strategies, decentralized tactics, and psychological operations. Asymmetric Warfare: Strategies and Tactics for the Modern Combatant is the definitive guide to understanding, adapting to, and countering the dynamics of irregular warfare in the 21st century.

This book provides a rigorous analysis of the evolving nature of warfare, examining the strategies employed by insurgents, militias, paramilitary forces, and non-state actors who operate beyond traditional military conventions. Drawing from historical case studies, contemporary conflicts, and cutting-edge military theory, it explores how technologically weaker forces exploit vulnerabilities in powerful adversaries through guerrilla warfare, psychological manipulation, cyber warfare, and urban insurgency.

Inside, readers will gain insight into:

The strategic logic of asymmetric warfare and how weaker actors impose disproportionate costs on conventional forces.

Tactical frameworks for urban guerrilla combat, including ambush tactics, sniper operations, and counterinsurgency countermeasures.

The integration of cyber warfare, artificial intelligence, and drone technology in modern irregular conflicts.

The role of proxy warfare, intelligence operations, and perception management in shaping asymmetric battles.

The future of networked insurgencies, decentralized warfare, and non-state military capabilities in an era of technological democratization.

The concept of blowback—the unintended negative consequences of covert operations or interventions—has been a recurring theme in U.S. foreign policy. The Taliban’s resurgence in Afghanistan is a prime example. The U.S. initially supported the mujahideen to counter the Soviets, but once the immediate threat was gone, the power vacuum left behind allowed the Taliban to seize control. Decades later, after a costly and protracted conflict, the Taliban’s return to power following the U.S. withdrawal in 2021 showcased the enduring impact of those early decisions.

In Iraq, the U.S.-led invasion and the dismantling of Saddam Hussein’s regime created a chaotic environment ripe for insurgent groups. The disbandment of the Iraqi army and the marginalization of Sunni communities fueled resentment and provided fertile ground for the rise of ISIS. What began as a mission to eliminate a dictator ended with a far more virulent and globalized extremist threat.

Syria mirrors these patterns. The power vacuums created by the degradation of Assad’s authority and the fragmentation of the opposition have allowed extremist groups like HTS to establish control over regions like Idlib. Even if these groups are temporarily seen as a counterbalance to Assad or ISIS, their governance is unlikely to produce long-term stability. Instead, they perpetuate cycles of conflict, repression, and radicalization.

All of these scenarios reflect the same themes that resonate throughout Weapons of Misfortune where the author underscores the dangers of interventions that prioritize immediate victories over sustainable solutions, the folly of empowering proxy forces who later become adversaries, and the moral ambiguity of choosing between shades of extremism.

If you're interested in understanding how U.S. actions have reshaped the modern world and what can be learned from the past, Weapons of Misfortune is a must-read. Available now in paperback, hardcover, and digital formats.

In the aftermath of more than seven decades of U.S. interventions in the Middle East, the region remains a complex web of proxy wars, fragile alliances, and entrenched conflicts. From the covert operations that toppled Iran’s Mohammad Mosaddegh in 1953, to the ill-fated invasion of Iraq in 2003, ....

What is Weapons of Misfortune about?

Weapons of Misfortune is a gripping, fact-based analysis of how U.S. interventions—from the Cold War to the War on Terror—have repeatedly backfired, creating power vacuums, fueling insurgencies, and arming future adversaries. Through in-depth case studies of Afghanistan, Iraq, Libya, Syria, Yemen, and beyond, this book exposes how short-term military strategies have led to long-term global instability.

What makes this book different from other books on U.S. foreign policy?

Unlike traditional histories or policy papers, Weapons of Misfortune presents a highly readable yet deeply analytical exploration of why the same mistakes keep happening. It connects past and present conflicts, showing how today's geopolitical crises—from the resurgence of the Taliban to the rise of ISIS—are directly linked to past U.S. actions.

What will I learn from this book?

📌 How the U.S. helped create the very enemies it later fought (e.g., the Taliban, Al-Qaeda, ISIS)
📌 Why past interventions in Iran, Afghanistan, and Iraq mirror today's conflicts
📌 The unintended consequences of arming proxy forces and toppling regimes
📌 How U.S. foreign policy has shaped—and destabilized—entire regions
📌 Why military solutions often create new problems instead of solving them

Is this book critical of the U.S. military?

This book is not about blaming soldiers, policymakers, or any one administration—it's about understanding patterns of failure so they are not repeated. Weapons of Misfortune presents a fact-based, nonpartisan analysis of decades of U.S. interventions to help policymakers, scholars, and the general public grasp the true costs of American military strategy.

The suppressor, a device designed to reduce the noise and muzzle flash of a firearm, has long been tightly regulated in most countries. In the United States, for example, suppressors are classified under the National Fi****ms Act (NFA), requiring a lengthy background check, a $200 tax stamp, and approval from the Bureau of Alcohol, To***co, Fi****ms and Explosives (BATF). However, the advent of 3D printing and online blueprints has rendered these regulations increasingly irrelevant.

Today, anyone with a $200 3D printer and a few hours can produce a functional suppressor using designs downloaded from platforms like DEFCAD or The Deterrence Dispensed Collective. These blueprints, often accompanied by step-by-step video tutorials, allow even novice users to create suppressors that rival commercial models in effectiveness. For those without access to 3D printers, improvised suppressors can be made from everyday items like oil filters or solvent traps, which are legally sold as automotive parts but easily modified for fi****ms.

From 3D-printed silencers to G***k switches, the tools of war are no longer controlled by states. Democratizing Violence reveals how accessible tech is reshaping conflict—and what it means for the future of global security. Get your copy today!
