Russia, Iran & Bitcoin: Quiet Pacts, NATO's Drift & This Cycle’s Hidden Signal

Show Notes

Matthew returns from Prague to unpack a tense geopolitical web: Russia’s increasing reliance on Iranian drones, Trump’s cool stance on Ukraine, and NATO’s wavering support for Eastern Europe. Drawing historical parallels to the Molotov-Ribbentrop pact, Matthew questions whether quiet deals are reshaping global alignments—especially as the U.S. and Israel target Iran while Russia stays on the sidelines. He closes with a dive into Bitcoin’s long-term resilience, highlighting exponential trend analysis and macroeconomic debt signals from the U.S. and Europe.
