Trail
Connection thesis
Geopolitical instability cluster: U.S. fast-tracks $8.6B Mideast arms deals, withdraws 5K troops from Germany (but retains presence), Iran sanctions threats on shipping. These are signals of sustained defense spending and elevated geopolitical risk premium. Historical precedent: defense contractors (RTX, LMT, NOC) outperform during sustained tension signaling.
