Drawing on Nassim Nicholas Taleb’s concepts of tail risk, black swans, and antifragility, this breakdown connects portfolio risk management to modern warfare. Even a dominant power can “win” repeatedly—yet lose from a single high-impact event.

The real risk isn’t visible losses—it’s the one shock that changes everything.
