In May 2025, India and Pakistan—two nuclear-armed rivals—fought a full-scale modern war that lasted just 88 hours.

No formal declarations.
No mushroom clouds.
And yet, missiles flew, drones swarmed cities, air defenses were stress-tested, and nuclear red lines came frighteningly close to breaking.

So why does almost no one remember it?

In this episode, we break down Operation Sindor using a rare, neutral Swiss military report to cut through propaganda and fog of war. From BrahMos cruise missiles and Rafale fighters to drone swarms, S-400 showdowns, and a chilling near-miss with nuclear escalation, this wasn’t a skirmish—it was a preview of how future wars will be fought.

Fast. Technological. Deniable. And terrifying.

This is the war you missed—and the one the world should be paying attention to.

🎬Spies negotiate peace. Billionaires price it. Climate burns. AI replaces jobs. 💡

Welcome to the movie of 2026—where global order is no longer ruled by treaties, but by transactions.

From secret back-channel talks in the Middle East to a pay-to-play “Board of Peace” unveiled in Davos, this episode dissects how power is being reshaped in real time. We move from Ukraine’s frozen cities to Gaza’s shrinking map, from Arctic land deals to carbon giants rewriting the climate story—while AI races ahead, unconcerned with borders or jobs.

As old systems fracture, one country tries to play bridge, not bloc.

The question this episode leaves you with is chillingly simple:

In a world run like a business—who are the shareholders, and who is the product?

In January 2026, the world woke up to a single explosive headline: the U.S. military had captured Venezuela’s president.
But the real story wasn’t a 30-minute raid—it was a decade-long geopolitical slow burn involving sanctions, oil, civilian suffering, and a silent great-power rivalry with China.

This episode unpacks the crisis as a three-act geopolitical screenplay:

• a lightning military strike,
• years of economic strangulation,
• and a final escalation driven by resource control and global power politics.

What unfolds is not just the story of Nicolás Maduro, but a warning about how modern wars are fought—before the bombs fall, and long after the cameras leave.
