In this episode, Charlie and Peter discuss the escalating tensions in the Western Hemisphere and the Middle East. We break down the recent news of the US military seizing a Russian oil tanker and the implications of the “abduction” narrative regarding Venezuela’s Maduro. We also analyze Trump’s aggressive foreign policy, including talks of buying Greenland, and explore why China remains silent despite its economic leverage. Later, we discuss the ongoing protests in Iran, the return of “White Rex” in Ukraine, and the potential for a wider superpower conflict.
