This week marked four years since the outbreak of the Russia–Ukraine war. On the same day, fresh statements emerged from Moscow that suggest tensions are not easing but hardening.
Reports carried by Russian state media referenced alleged discussions around nuclear components and potential attacks on energy infrastructure. Whether these claims prove material or rhetorical, they point to something important. The conflict is not drifting toward quiet resolution. It remains volatile, strategic, and deeply embedded in wider power struggles.
In his latest interview on GoldCore TV, geopolitical strategist Simon Hunt discusses what these developments may signal.
Simon argues that negotiations between Washington and Moscow are unlikely to bring a swift diplomatic conclusion. In his view, Russia’s objectives extend beyond territory and into the future security architecture of Eurasia. If that assessment is correct, then the war ends not through goodwill but through leverage.
The discussion then expands to Iran.
With US naval assets positioned in the region, Israel’s posture hardening, and China and Russia formally strengthening their alignment with Tehran, the Middle East sits at a delicate junction. Simon examines whether an escalation would represent miscalculation, strategy, or postponement, and what it would mean for American influence across the region.
None of this is presented as spectacle, but instead as a discussion around the gradual shift from a unipolar world to something more fractured.
For investors, these shifts matter. Commodity flows, currency strength, sovereign debt stability, and geopolitical realignment are not abstract forces. They shape markets in ways that are often visible only in hindsight.
We invite you to watch the full discussion and draw your own conclusions.
