In this episode, host Bidemi Ologunde examines three major global signals from March 9 to March 15, 2026: the fragmentation of international diplomacy, the geopolitical shockwaves of the U.S.-Israel-Iran war, and the growing political impact of law, crime, and extremist violence. What happens when wars spread through shipping lanes, energy markets, and city streets at the same time? How are governments negotiating in the middle of crisis instead of after it? And what does history teach us about the danger of local events triggering global consequences? This episode connects the week's biggest developments into one clear picture.
