    Iran, China, and the weaponization of energy is the root cause

    Geopower, Energy Realpolitik with Todd Royal – China itself depends heavily on the uninterrupted flow of Persian Gulf energy. A prolonged disruption would send oil prices soaring and threaten the stability of China’s own economy. This dynamic highlights the delicate strategic balance that defines modern energy geopolitics. Nations simultaneously compete for influence over energy resources while...

    America’s countermodel to Europe: Energy abundance as grand strategy

    Geopower, Energy Realpolitik with Todd Royal – While Europe constrains energy, the United States has largely expanded it.

    The Munich doctrine, Marco Rubio, energy realism, and the reordering of the West

    Geopower, Energy Realpolitik with Todd Royal – Rubio’s address signaled that American foreign policy is being recalibrated around physical reality.

    The old order is dead! The reshaping of America and the global order

    Geopower, Energy Realpolitik with Todd Royal – The traditional “legacy” institutions — legacy media, education, law, and cultural arbiters — have become aligned with a single political coalition. This alignment, critics say, is not incidental but strategic: it perpetuates a narrative ecosystem that reinforces partisan outcomes. They argue that the Democratic Party now wields disproportionate influence...

    Minnesota is not an outlier; it is a preview of what is to come

    Geopower, Energy Realpolitik with Todd Royal – From Davos to Washington, the credibility of Net Zero and Great Reset-style globalism is eroding. Even establishment economists and geopolitical thinkers now warn that technocratic overreach, energy scarcity, and moral absolutism are fueling backlash rather than compliance. When societies are stressed people become governable through fear...

    The myths, costs, and consequences of industrial wind power

    Geopower, Energy Realpolitik with Todd Royal – Wind power is promoted as clean, reliable, and affordable, yet evidence tells a different story. Intermittency weakens electric grids, environmental damage is widespread, costs continue to rise, and offshore wind projects face mounting failures. This episode examines the technical, ecological, and economic realities behind industrial wind energy and questions its role in a sustainable future...

    From Venezuela to Greenland: Fortress America in a zero-sum world

    Geopower, Energy Realpolitik with Todd Royal – The episode reframes the debate around Venezuela and Greenland. The point isn’t “power for power’s sake.” The argument is that the U.S. is acting like a state that believes it must secure its near abroad and its strategic interests before rivals do. That logic is not new. It runs through the Monroe Doctrine lineage and shows up explicitly in the...
