This interview explores the escalating geopolitical crisis in West Asia and its global fallout. Key topics include Saudi Arabia’s growing desperation as Houthi forces successfully down advanced aircraft, exposing the failure of recent US bombing campaigns. The discussion highlights an impending oil crisis, with European fuel prices set to skyrocket as regional infrastructure remains vulnerable to attacks. We also analyze the US economic landscape, contrasting political rhetoric on interest rates and trade deficits with the reality of inflation and shifting global alliances. Finally, the conversation covers the Ukraine war, noting Russia’s strategic destruction of Ukrainian logistics and the likelihood of a dramatic wind-down by 2027, leaving Europe with little leverage.
