Welcome to another edition of Geopolitics and Empire.

You may have noticed I've been gone for a little while.

I was taking a break, doing some sun and sand, and I'm back now.

And a reminder again to everyone, the best way to support this transmission is by becoming a paid subscriber.

On the substack, we do private group chats shooting debris and current events.

I do a weekly roundup of all of the best news around the world and my own analysis available

for subscribers only.

This is the best way to support me.

And sometimes we're being back past podcast guests to do a live Q&A with supporters only.

You can also donate through the website, consult with me.

You can purchase a consult if you want to chat with me.

And do check out all of my wonderful affiliates and sponsors at geopolitics and empire.com.

Leave a podcast review on Apple, Spotify, wherever you listen or view geopolitics and Empire.

And joining us for the first time is analyst, substacker, 009 of the world is not enough.com.

Welcome to geopolitics and empire, 009.

Thank you very much for inviting me.

I'm an honor to be your guest and there's lots to

discuss at this point in history and extraordinary time in world history.

Indeed, you know, I don't even know where to start. You know i i came across your substack i can't recall

maybe a year ago or something like that i was immediately struck it became my new favorite

substack i every piece i of yours i was sharing it was very well written researched eloquently

um you know your analysis was very eloquent and on point.
