Carl is joined by returning guest Einar Tangen, a long-term American resident of China and astute geopolitical analyst. They dive deep into the recent U.S. operation in Venezuela, the escalating "distraction tactics" of the Trump administration, and what this means for the future of U.S.-China relations and global stability.
Einar provides a masterclass in decoding current events, arguing that actions like seizing Venezuelan oil or threatening Greenland are not signs of strength, but symptoms of domestic desperation and a dangerous "law of the jungle" foreign policy. He analyzes the short and long-term implications for China, the risks of accidental conflict, and the potential for global economic pushback.
