Journalist Joaquin Flores joins me to discuss what we are both seeing just over the horizon three months out from the US mid-term elections and six weeks out from Italy’s snap elections.
There are a number of issues out there that all seem to be coalescing around the late September period which could substantially change the trajectory of global politics.
For the better or worse is anyone’s guess.

Tom,
I was waiting for you to say the Russian economy isn’t very sophisticated, but they have plenty of “Gold, Grain & Guns”. (hehehe)
As far as Russian military operations go, it is usually the Rasputitsa (quagmire seasons) that puts paid to military operations.
Then

Now:
Logistics: The hidden challenge for Putin’s military

That might help you with your September predictions as far as what the Russians might or might not do.
Cheers!
Maybe: “Gold, Grain, Gas & Guns” !!! To be more complete. (hehehe)
Tom,
Just an item for potential future discussions. With China breaking off Climate Change cooperation with the United States, is that a sweetener for BRICs and SCO membership? It seems to offer nations on the fence (Global South) a clear choice: cheap energy, unhindered economic development and trade in national currencies verses the nonsense the West is offering.
Also, domestically, with the Inflation Reduction Act coming, the United States is about to embark on massive de-carbonization / Green Energy future while the largest CO2 emitter on the planet charts another course, making the whole effort appear nonsensical and self-destructive to anyone with a brain.
Maybe I am over thinking it? …so just food for thought.
Tou are mot overthinking it. This is just another example to explain why capital flows to where it is treated best.
That’s the dynamic you just described
