    Apr 22 2026
    From the U.S. being embroiled in an on-again, off-again war with Iran to Russia’s multi-year conflict in Ukraine, the idea that world superpowers becoming engaged in a hot conflict is no longer some far-flung theoretical exercise; rather, it’s knocking on our door. In this episode, we take a look back at a conversation that is more relevant today than ever, examining the regions and countries that would be safest in the event of a truly global conflict. Unfortunately, that reality seems closer every day. IN TODAY’S EPISODE Tune in to hear why today’s geopolitical tensions may be even more dangerous than during the Cold WarFind out what a full-scale war involving the U.S., Russia, or China would actually look like Which regions of the world will be safest when a full-scale global conflict breaks out? Learn whyreactingto global events is a losing strategy, and why a properly structured Plan-B acts as “geopolitical insurance.” STAY IN TOUCH!
