Dr John Bruni of SAGE International joins Jeremy Cordeaux AM around the dining room table for his regular look at the world stage. He discusses reported US aircraft losses in the Middle East, diesel prices and the Red Sea, why cheap drones are rewriting modern warfare, and how US manpower compares with China's.

John also explains SAGE International's idea of 'threshold conditioning', the Russian grey zone campaign he says is spreading across Europe, why he believes China will not invade Taiwan, and why he is sceptical about Elon Musk's plan to put data centres in orbit. Plus a cloned John Laws voice that has the whole table talking about trust in the age of AI.

This interview aired live on The Court of Public Opinion on Friday 9 October 2026.
