In this Geopolity podcast, we unpack three major geopolitical stories shaping the global order—and what they reveal about the deeper strategic forces driving global politics.First, Donald Trump’s visit to China. A trip rich in symbolism, but did it actually produce meaningful strategic gains? We examine what was achieved, why Taiwan remains the most dangerous flashpoint in US-China relations, and what Trump’s diplomacy tells us about the future of great power competition.Next, Britain’s political crisis. Traditional parties are losing trust, populist forces are surging, and voters appear increasingly disillusioned with the political establishment. Is Britain entering a period of structural instability—and what does this mean for the wider West?Finally, the Ukraine war enters its fourth year. Despite dramatic drone strikes and headline-grabbing operations, what does the battlefield reality actually look like? Can Ukraine still alter the strategic trajectory of the war? What does victory look like for Kyiv, Moscow, and Washington?

In this episode of Geopolitical Horizons, we take your questions as the US-Israel alliance war on Iran passes 10 weeks. We break down the reality behind the headlines. Why hasn’t Iran collapsed? Has the US strategy failed? And what does this war reveal about the future of global power? We explore the questions we have received from the failed decapitation strategy to the closure of the Strait of Hormuz, and from Israel’s influence on US policy to the role of China, Russia, and regional powers. This isn’t just a war in the Middle East — it’s a test of the global order.

The world is shifting — from the Straits of Hormuz to Brussels to orbit.In this episode of geopolitical horizons, we break down three stories impacting global geopolitics: Rising tensions in the Middle East and the future of the US–Israel alliance The political shockwaves of Viktor Orbán’s defeat and what it means for European populism The return of great power competition — this time in space Is escalation in the Middle East reaching its limits? Is Europe turning away from populism — or just entering a new phase? And is the new space race quietly becoming a military contest?🎙️ Featuring sharp analysis, grounded insights, and big-picture thinking — this is geopolitics beyond the headlines.

Three wars. Three regions. One rapidly shifting global order. In this episode of Geopolitical Horizons, we break down three escalating conflicts that are reshaping 2026 in real time—from Lebanon to Iran to Afghanistan

The conflict between Iran and the United States–Israel alliance is entering a dangerous new phase — and things are not going according to plan.In this Geopolity podcast, we break down how Iran has managed to resist a global superpower, the strategic mistakes shaping the conflict, and why regime change in Tehran is far less likely than many in Washington assume.From the closure of the Strait of Hormuz and its impact on global energy markets, to Iran’s asymmetric warfare strategy and internal political structure, this episode explores the deeper forces shaping the war — including the roles of Russia and China, the fragility of the petrodollar system, and the uncertain future of Israel.

February 24th 2026, marks four years since Russia’s invasion of Ukraine — a war many expected to last days, not years. Instead, Europe has witnessed one of the most destructive conflicts since 1945. Entire cities have been flattened. Hundreds of thousands have been killed, millions displaced. What began with a failed dash on Kyiv has hardened into an 800-mile fortified front line defined by attrition, drones, artillery and endurance. The war has become a test of endurance between Russia and the West — with Ukraine caught in the middle and now it’s all about who can outlast whom.

Bangladesh goes to the polls on 12th February, 18 months after the overthrow of the long term leader Sheikh Hasina. Her Awami League government was brought to an abrupt end when a popular uprising toppled the long term leader. For the last 18 months an interim government led by Nobel laureate Muhammed Yunus navigated the country and now elections will see a permanent government try to navigate the South Asian nation through its countless challenges.

What began as demonstrations due to a falling currency has now turned into calls for the end of the regime. After 3 weeks, protests have now spread across Iran as the regime gears up to celebrate its 47th anniversary. With its regional proxies in retreat and Iranians on the streets demanding regime change this has now become the biggest test of the clerical regime. Is this the beginning of the end? Can the masses finally overthrow the regime and what will replace it?

It’s that time of the year where we look at what 2026 has in store for the world. In this podcast we explore the shifting global landscape as we approach 2026. Is the global order over? Has the role of ideology in foreign policy ended? Will 2026 see a new nuclear and arms race and a new space race? Will the Gen Z protests succeed in 2026 and will Trumps tariff strategy succeed in 2026. Will MAGA, Europe, China and Israel implode in 2026? We conclude with some quickfire predictions for 2026, including the fate of various global leaders.

Geopolity will soon be publishing its annual report, Strategic Estimate 2026. Our analysts have worked hard following the key events in the past year, pursuing trends and patterns, in order to give you their analysis and insight. In this podcast we preview the upcoming report.
