Are we witnessing the Great Disruption of 2026? In this deep-dive geopolitical analysis, we break down why the post-WWII world order is snapping, rather than just bending. As US carrier strike groups steam toward the Persian Gulf to deter Iran, a massive, multi-front shadow war is accelerating across the globe. We explore the terrifying realities of modern drone economics, where cheap autonomous swarms are designed to exhaust multi-million dollar US interceptor missiles.

This episode covers the shifting US-China-Russia dynamic, including the failed "Reverse Kissinger" strategy that has led to rising tensions over a Russian intelligence hub in Cuba. We also unpack the trillion-dollar semiconductor tech war, the authoritarian space race behind the International Lunar Research Station, and France's radical new cyber strategy that is actively rewriting the social contract of the internet. Finally, we reveal why the greatest threat isn't naval battles, but the democratization of destruction through bio-engineering and AI. If you want to understand the true battlegrounds of the future, this is a must-listen.
