Jacob Shapiro: The Iran War Gives Putin a Lifeline, Will It Last?
Geopolitical analyst Jacob Shapiro joins Maggie Lake to break down how the Iran war is reshaping the geopolitical landscape beyond the Middle East. With sanctions lifted on oil, Putin gets a huge short-term reprieve, but Jacob argues the long-term trajectory for Russia hasn't changed: the edifice is crumbling. He draws a parallel to the czar and the Russo-Japanese War, warns the real nightmare scenario is chaos in a nuclear-armed state, and makes his contrarian bull case for European markets as the continent reorients on energy, defense, and trade.
Jacob explains that Europe is about to crank on energy and defense, reshaping demand for real assets globally. Join Wealthion's Real Assets Community: https://wealthion.com/getready
