“Fault Lines of Power: Tariffs, Turmoil & Tech Reckonings”
This episode unpacks the seismic shocks shaking global markets and politics. From Trump’s targeted tariffs hammering Indian pharma and kitchen cabinet makers, to the rupee’s new low, to whispers of a Modi–Putin call after tariff blows, we explore how economic nationalism is redrawing alliances. We examine Ladakh’s violent unrest, the MiG-21’s farewell, Comey’s indictment, and Amazon’s $2.5B settlement—each a sign of destabilization at home and abroad. Are we witnessing protectionism rewrite the global rulebook?
