Pentagon's "Pizza Index" Reactivated, Trump Previously Threatened Military Action Against Colombia Today
BlockBeats News, January 5th, according to @pizzaintwatch monitoring, the U.S. Pentagon's "Pizza Index" has been activated again: "The Papa John's pizzeria 2.3 miles from the Pentagon saw a surge in foot traffic, reaching 1250%. The Area Pizza Palace 1.0 mile from the Pentagon also reported a surge in foot traffic, reaching 313%. It is currently under Threat Level 3." (Note: The assumption behind the Pentagon Pizza Index, considered an "umbrella" of U.S. military actions, is that when the Pentagon's high-level command center or war room is dealing with a significant, emergent international crisis or military deployment, staff need to work long hours. When staff work late into the night, they often solve dinner by ordering a large number of pizzas.)
Notably, there has been no significant fluctuation in Polymarket's prediction market related to U.S. military action.
U.S. President Trump threatened military action against the Colombian government on Sunday local time and told reporters that such action "sounds good." Trump told reporters on Air Force One: "The situation in Colombia is also very bad, run by a sick person who likes to make cocaine and sell it to the U.S., and he won't be doing that for long." These remarks are clearly aimed at Colombian President Petro. When directly asked if the U.S. would take military action against the country, Trump replied, "That sounds good."
