We break down the admission of a "forever war" in Iran, estimating a $1 trillion price tag, and conflicting data on oil flows in the Strait of Hormuz. Plus, explore global energy chaos—from US diesel threats to China's bans and Europe's low strategic reserves. Finally, we examine the shift toward state capitalism and navigating a multinodal world.

  • Michael Hudson: BREAKING: G7 Taps Strategic Oil Reserves—Trump Removes Export Restrictions

    53:58|
    Explore the escalating global energy crisis and the geopolitical strategies driving it. Despite the G7 releasing strategic reserves, experts warn this is merely a band-aid masking a severe, manufactured diesel shortage. The US administration is deliberately blocking energy exports from Iran, Russia, and Venezuela to force global dependence on American oil and extract political concessions from Europe. With refineries destroyed and reserves depleting, what happens when these fixes run out? We also examine how this energy weaponization accelerates the push by the Global South, BRICS, and the SCO to build a multipolar economy free from dollar dominance. Discover the real motives behind energy markets and the future of global sovereignty.
