Economist and geopolitical analyst Tom Luongo joins the Economic Review to break down what he believes are the real forces driving the Iran war, Canadian tariffs, and other major geopolitical and economic developments reshaping the global landscape. Luongo goes beyond the conventional headlines to examine the competing interests, financial pressures, and strategic objectives he sees operating behind these events.

In today’s discussion, Sarah and Tom also dig into the recent NDAA legislation, comparing the Senate and House versions and examining what the language actually says. They discuss why the word “integration” can be misleading, what the proposed military cooperation could mean in practice, and why they believe integrating U.S. military capabilities with any foreign state is an unwise direction.

The conversation also explores the increasingly interconnected nature of economics and geopolitics. Global markets do not operate in a vacuum—they are shaped by power struggles, alliances, conflicts, tariffs, monetary pressures, and strategic decisions unfolding around the world. Sarah and Tom examine how understanding these relationships can provide a clearer picture of where the global economy may be headed next.
