In this episode, Charlie and Peter Erickson dive deep into the accelerating collapse of US global hegemony and the rising chaos across multiple geopolitical fronts. We discuss the sudden migrant surge in Spain’s Ceuta exclave and its rumored connection to the Abraham Accords. In the Middle East, we look at Netanyahu’s survival tactics, the rumors surrounding Trump’s 2-week strategic bombing campaign against Iran, and why Iran’s military doctrine may have officially shifted to preemptive strikes.
We also explore the critical vulnerabilities of the Gulf Monarchies, why MBS still clings to the US military as a personal bodyguard, and whether China or BRICS will step up to fill the vacuum. Finally, we break down the reality of NATO’s depleted stockpiles, the fantasy of Ukraine joining NATO, and Russia’s territorial end game in Ukraine.
