概要

 American Power is a geopolitical podcast about the forces beneath the headlines, where military strategy, energy markets, and political decision-making collide. Hosted by writer and comedian Nat Towsen alongside military strategist, Chad Scott and an oil and energy expert, Mr. Global, the show breaks down global events through the systems that shape them. Each episode goes beyond the daily news cycle to examine incentives, history, and unintended consequences. Why do wars become hard to stop once they start? How do oil markets anticipate conflict before governments admit it? And who really pays the price when strategy, economics, and politics intersect?Copyright work 世界 政治・政府 政治学

  • Oil and Blood: Iran, the U.S and the Petrodollar

    Oil and Blood: Iran, the U.S and the Petrodollar
    2026/04/22
    This week on American Power, host Nat Towsen steps back from the daily chaos to trace how the U.S.-Iran relationship; from early oil extraction and Western intervention to coups, sanctions, and the rise of the modern Iranian regime.

    Energy expert Matt Randolph (Mr. Global) breaks down how Iran’s oil wealth was exploited for decades and why the country’s current strategy is rooted in economic warfare, not military dominance. That includes the often-overlooked role of dollar-denominated debt and the global demand for U.S. currency. Military strategist Chad Scott explains how U.S. decisions, from the 1953 Iranian coup d’état to backing Iraq and beyond, helped shape the adversary it faces today.

  • The Strait Illusion: Why This Strategy Fails

    The Strait Illusion: Why This Strategy Fails
    2026/04/15
    This week on American Power, energy expert Matt Randolph (Mr. Global) reveals a critical timing problem: Iran could keep getting paid for oil shipments for weeks, meaning the economic pressure hasn’t even started yet. Military strategist Chad Scott walks through the logistics of enforcing a blockade across an area the size of a U.S. state with limited ships, unclear authority, and a mission the Navy wasn’t designed to execute. Along the way, host Nat Towsen pushes on the contradictions: if the blockade risks drawing in nuclear powers, alienating allies, and failing to immediately impact Iran, what is the actual strategy? And if it doesn’t work, are the only real options escalation or a very public retreat?

  • When War Breaks the Rules And the Markets

    When War Breaks the Rules And the Markets
    2026/04/08
    This week on American Power, we break down a dangerous new phase of the Iran conflict: threats of strikes on civilian infrastructure, rising oil prices, and a global system starting to buckle under pressure. Military expert Chad Scott explains why targeting power plants crosses into war crime territory not just internationally, but under U.S. law and why history shows this kind of strategy doesn’t weaken regimes, it hardens them. Energy expert Matt Randolph (Mr. Global) walks through what’s already happening in the oil markets, where physical crude is trading far above futures, a warning sign that gas prices could soon surge past record highs.
