Schrödinger's Regime Change is upon us. With the Trump administration sending contradictory signals on Iran and global markets whipsawing on every headline, Marty Bent and John Arnold cut through the noise to focus on the physical realities actually driving geopolitics. From oil flows through the Strait of Hormuz to the return of quantum computing FUD, we separate signal from noise in an increasingly chaotic world.
