| 0:00.0 | Welcome to another edition of Geopolitics and Empire, quite possibly the last episode of 2025. |
| 0:08.8 | You can still hear I'm a bit under the weather, but recovering. |
| 0:14.2 | And before continuing, I was just going to share my screen really quickly here to make a bit of an announcement regarding what's going on with |
