He discusses the emergence of geoeconomic blocs and proposes a new 'Core Five' of global powers to manage relations. Glenn highlights the implications of NATO expansion on Europe and contrasts the modern interpretation of the Monroe Doctrine with its original anti-imperial intent. He also connects U.S. moves in Venezuela to resource control and urges for institutional reforms to reflect current power dynamics.

Episode notes
Geoeconomic Blocs Are Rising
- Geoeconomic blocs will replace some old geopolitical institutions as trade, tech, and currencies realign around new power centers.
- International institutions must reflect current power distributions or risk irrelevance and conflict.
Institutions Must Mirror Power
- Institutions survive when they mirror real power; refusing reform provokes parallel structures or confrontation.
- Glenn argues adding countries like India to the UN is necessary to preserve legitimacy.
G7 Losing Economic Primacy
- The G7 is already eclipsed economically by BRICS, reducing its ability to steer the system.
- Expect incentives to form new exclusive geoeconomic groupings around emerging powers.
