No One Saw This Coming: Trump Just Conquered Iran Like Alexander the Great
Mike explores how Trump's Middle East diplomacy, the Abraham Accords, and the rise of sovereign nation-states are reshaping the 21st century order;
Donald Trump is remaking the Middle East in ways only comparable to Alexander the Great.
From Turkey and Egypt to Pakistan and India, a new geopolitical order is emerging across the crossroads of civilization. In this episode, Mike explores how President Trump’s diplomacy is reorganizing the region around sovereign cooperation, economic development, and the rejection of endless imperial conflict.
But this transformation goes far beyond the Middle East.
From the Abraham Accords and a potential “new Yalta” to the collapse of globalization and the revival of sovereign nation-states, this episode examines the deeper historical forces shaping the next world order.
Drawing on Xenophon, Alexander the Great, Plato, and the American System of political economy, this is a sweeping look at how civilizations rise, how empires manipulate history, and why big thinking is essential during moments of global transformation.
If the old global order is collapsing, what comes next?
That is the real battle of the 21st century.
