If you feel like the world order is being rearranged, you’re right. It is, and quickly. Settlement discussions about Ukraine began this week in Saudi Arabia—without Ukraine.

Renowned forecaster George Friedman, founder of Geopolitical Futures, helps us break down these important signals.

The US no longer has an interest in prolonging or funding this war. We are seeking to force a settlement. This has put in motion what looks like a game of 3D chess.

For starters, the US is seeking guaranteed access to rare earth minerals from Ukraine, reducing dependence on China. Will the US ease pressure on Russia in exchange for this access? It looks that way.

As George says in our interview, “The neutrality of Ukraine is guaranteed if the Americans get what they want… the minerals.”

George and I take a deep dive into the geopolitical machinations behind the Ukraine settlement talks. You’ll hear why settlement negotiations happened in Saudi Arabia, why NATO has a limited role to play, why China is wooing an ancient enemy, and President Trump’s plan to “redesign the world.”
