Summary
How do domestic elections drive global conflicts? In this episode, we analyze the geopolitical strategies of the US, Russia, and Iran. With crucial elections approaching in Washington and Moscow, we explore how domestic political pressures and budget battles fuel military escalation in the Middle East and Eastern Europe. Discover why the US and Russia are locked in a cycle of "permanent war," how internal Kremlin factions clash over economic survival versus battlefield victories, and why Iran remains defiant against Western sanctions. We also break down the impact of US presidential succession on foreign policy. Tune in for a deep dive into how election cycles and global power struggles shape our world. Hosted on Acast.
