What do China, Greenland, Iran, artificial intelligence and the price of gasoline have to do with each other?
Potentially quite a lot.
Ron Bee returns to The MiddleGround Mic to connect several of the biggest geopolitical stories happening right now — and explain how international decisions can eventually reach American consumers and businesses.
Joseph and Ron discuss:
• The new U.S.-Denmark-Greenland security agreement • Greenland, the Arctic and strategic competition • Rare earth minerals and China’s leverage in global supply chains • Xi Jinping’s upcoming visit to Washington • U.S.-China tariffs and trade negotiations • Artificial intelligence as a geopolitical battleground • Iran and the mysterious Pickaxe Mountain facility near Natanz • Satellite intelligence and nuclear uncertainty • Oil markets and global energy disruption • Whether another major shock could push gasoline toward $6–$7 per gallon
Instead of treating each headline as an isolated story, Ron connects the pieces and explains how geopolitical decisions thousands of miles away can eventually affect prices, businesses and households at home.
