This week, I appeared on Mario Nawfal and Lt. Col. Daniel Davis’s shows. First, Mario and I discussed the intensifying strikes on Saudi refineries, airports, and ships in the Strait of Hormuz, the resulting damage to energy infrastructure and shipping logistics, ongoing market pressures in gold and oil, and the shaky diplomacy surrounding both Ukraine and the Middle East. Next, Daniel and I discussed the real scale of shipping losses versus official claims, the critical LNG shortages and fertilizer risks that threaten food supplies, and whether the continued escalation points to simple miscalculation or something more intentional. Both interviews are below!
