About this listen

From the quiet halls of Mar-a-Lago to the trench lines of Ukraine and the shores of Nigeria, the old world maps are being rewritten in real-time. This week, we examine the volatile space where high-level dealmaking meets the uncompromising application of military force and look ahead to a 2026 that promises to be a global "year of decisions."

Episode Highlights

  • The Mar-a-Lago Peace Framework: A deep dive into Zelensky’s twenty-point plan, the sixty-day "red line" ceasefire, and the controversial "corporate merger" approach to the Donbas.


  • Netanyahu’s Final Hostage Plea: Why the Israeli Prime Minister is bringing the mother of the last hostage to Florida and the friction over the ambitious "Project Sunrise" in Gaza.


  • Naval Strikes in Nigeria: Why the U.S. is launching Tomahawk missiles from the sea to target the Lakurawa faction as American influence slips in the Sahel.


  • 2026 Geopolitical Forecast: A preview of the "land-for-security" swap in Ukraine, the threat of a full-scale regional war in the Middle East, and why China might move on Taiwan earlier than expected.
