  • Escalation Trap

    Just because Putin changed course doesn’t mean he avoided escalation trap. If anything it means he is recognizing he is an escalation trap. Brandon should read more of Pape’s definition and examples to understand what he is talking about.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

THE IRAN WAR IS BREAKING AMERICA'S GRIP ON OIL AND THE DOLLAR – w/ Prof. Michael Hudson
Q: Do you think those currently leading Europe will succeed in federalizing the European Union?
The guest argues there is no real chance of smooth federalization at this time, citing contrary political will, economic divergence, and external dependencies that impede a unified path forward.
THE IRAN WAR IS BREAKING AMERICA'S GRIP ON OIL AND THE DOLLAR – w/ Prof. Michael Hudson
Q: Do you think that the Iran-Venezuela War was the attempt by the US to control world oil and use that to bargain with China on rare earth minerals?
Skeptically, yes—there is a sense that strategic oil control is being used to leverage influence, though the complexity involves multiple actors and competing agendas. The discussion frames oil as a central tool in broader geopolitical bargaining, including with China, rather than a single, simple causal driver.
AI IS INFLATING A COLLAPSING U.S. ECONOMY, BOND YIELDS BREAK NEW HIGHS – w/ Peter Schiff
Q: How do you know if this is driven by debt or inflation?
He argues that while inflation pressures exist, the scale and trajectory of debt and the cost of servicing that debt are central to the risk, and that investors' behavior (bond inflows, stock rallies) may mask underlying vulnerabilities until rates move decisively.
AI IS INFLATING A COLLAPSING U.S. ECONOMY, BOND YIELDS BREAK NEW HIGHS – w/ Peter Schiff
Q: What's the biggest story?
The guest says the biggest story is that the debt trajectory, coupled with high and rising interest rates, will pressure the entire financial system, with implications for housing, equities, and macro stability, potentially leading to a crisis if debt service costs become unsustainable.
AI IS INFLATING A COLLAPSING U.S. ECONOMY, BOND YIELDS BREAK NEW HIGHS – w/ Peter Schiff
Q: Can you expand on this? What is it indicating?
The guest explains that creditors will demand higher yields to compensate for perceived debt sustainability risks, and highlights that inflation and policy paths are creating a mispricing in risk versus reward for US debt. He also notes that the current inflation dynamics could erode the real value of repayments, prompting a reassessment of bond valuations.
