Steve Yang sits down with Doug Casey for a hard-edged conversation on Iran, U.S. foreign policy, empire decline, and the real risk of a wider geopolitical escalation. Doug argues that the Iran conflict is not an isolated event, but part of a larger story involving U.S. overreach, strategic chokepoints, and a world moving toward more instability. They dig into the Straits of Hormuz, global shipping and energy exposure, international backlash, and the cost of intervention as debt, inflation, and military spending keep rising. The conversation also shifts into markets, where Doug explains why he still sees upside in gold, silver, uranium, copper, and mining stocks even as broader financial conditions look increasingly fragile. Near the end, Doug shares where viewers can follow his work and why his new book The Preparation offers a different path for young people looking beyond the standard college track. #Millettian
