I started with writing whether the opening gap changed my entry plan. That helped me preserve the reason for a revised setup.

That distinction matters. Nuclear speculation is serious, but without credible evidence, it shouldn’t be treated as fact.

Swan is careful not to claim certainty In other words, he made it up.

Swan says he’s seen no evidence Trump is seriously considering tactical nuclear weapons, while acknowledging he can’t rule out private discussions.

I found it useful to preserve the context behind each move. Keeping event-driven examples apart from quiet-session ones gave me a way to do that.

Swan's direct reporting access makes this a more credible read than most speculation floating around on tactical nukes. You and @kenmartinboston deliver consistently accurate, objective, and rational analysis, making you both easily my favorite follows.
