Economist and geopolitical analyst Tom Luongo joins the program to break down what he believes are the real forces driving the Iran war, the Canadian tariffs and other major geopolitical and economic developments reshaping the global landscape. Luongo goes beyond the conventional headlines to examine the competing interests, financial pressures, and strategic objectives he sees operating behind these events.We also dig into the recent NDAA legislation, comparing the Senate and House versions and examining what the language actually says. We discuss why the word "integration" can be misleading, what the proposed military cooperation could mean in practice, and why we both believe integrating U.S. military capabilities with any foreign state is an unwise direction. Global economics do not operate in a vacuum—they are increasingly the direct result of the geopolitical power struggles, alliances, conflicts, and strategic decisions unfolding around the world.Follow Tom Luongo at tomluongo.meSign up for the Newsletter and see exclusives now located at WestallMedia.com or still at SarahWestall.substack.com
