Greenland Goes Nuclear Inside NATO, Ukraine’s Heat Gets Hit, and BRICS Flexes at Sea; Worldwide Wednesday (Round 2)

To no one’s surprise, I got my days mixed up this week…so let ‘s try this again. In THIS week’s Worldwide Wednesday, I’m connecting the biggest geopolitical and military stories shaping 2026 right now. I’ll discuss a major Russian strike wave hitting Ukraine’s power and heating, a rare NATO sovereignty dispute sparked by Greenland rhetoric, accelerating Iran unrest with internet restrictions, and a global alignment picture where BRICS+ naval drills and U.S. strategy shifts are landing at the same time.

In this video: 🔎 

• Ukraine energy crisis: Russia’s large strike wave leaves ~1.2 million properties without power and thousands of buildings without heat as repairs race winter temperatures

• Greenland / NATO: Trump–Greenland pressure creates public alliance tension; Denmark, Greenland, and NATO push Arctic security messaging and sovereignty clarity

• Iran unrest: nationwide protests, state-media disruption, and signals about possible internet restriction changes

• EU–Mercosur trade deal: major agreement moves forward while legal and political fights explode

• France protests: tractors in Paris, no-confidence pressure, and why this fight is bigger than one trade deal

• U.S. 2026 defense strategy shift: Washington signals priorities and expectations for allies, with ripple effects across Europe and Asia

• Venezuela oil money + China angle: oil revenue control turns into leverage and potential debt restructuring friction

• BRICS+ at sea: China–Russia–Iran drills off South Africa, plus political blowback and an inquiry into Iran’s participation
