In this episode, we explore how the Russia-Ukraine War is reshaping global markets and driving up prices in the U.S. From rising fuel costs to skyrocketing food prices, we break down the war's impact on key commodities like oil, wheat, and fertilizers. We also look at how these changes are affecting everyday consumers and what the future may hold for global supply chains and inflation.

In this episode, I break down the economic policies of Former President Donald Trump and current Vice-President Kamala Harris, comparing their plans for taxes, spending, and the national deficit. I then discuss the real-world impact on consumer prices, government debt, and America's global economic standing.

I am back for good with a returning episode discussing China's maritime militia and fishing vessels in the South China Sea as tensions continue to increase between Beijing and Washington DC. The usage of these maritime militia serves to provide China with plausible deniability while carefully crafting its own strategic maritime advantage in the South China Sea. Seeking to make the 9 Dash Line a reality, Beijing will continue to use maritime militias and fishing vessels as the main maritime force to address territorial disputes. However, there are major institutional problems such as chain of command and financing that prohibits the PRC's maritime militias from becoming significant professional additions to the PRC's military-security apparatus. This will only increase tensions and the probabilities of instability. It is good to be back!
