## Resource

America is facing a perfect storm: rising stagflation, escalating tensions with Iran, and growing political division at home. As economic pressure builds and fears of a wider conflict intensify, many are asking tough questions: Are we on the brink of a deeper global recession? Why does U.S. foreign policy seem locked in despite shifting public opinion? And who really influences political decision-making in Washington? In this video, we break down: ✔ The economic warning signs echoing (and potentially exceeding) the COVID-era downturn ✔ The geopolitical stakes surrounding Iran and the Strait of Hormuz ✔ The widening gap between voters and political leadership ✔ The role of lobbying, influence, and emerging questions around AI and political power This is a critical moment—and the consequences could reshape the global order for years to come.
