What's coming Up Next Week In The World 2026.07.26 to 2026.08.01

👉 Subscribe to The Restricted Handling Podcast https://www.restrictedhandling.com/   What's coming next in the world? This week on **The Restricted Handling Podcast**, Ryan and Glenn break down the major geopolitical events, intelligence signals, military movements, and economic indicators to watch from July 26 through August 1, 2026.   The week ahead is packed with strategic signals from the world's biggest players. Russia prepares for Navy Day celebrations, North Korea marks Victory Day with its usual heavy dose of military messaging, China highlights the strength of the People's Liberation Army, and global leaders gather at the United Nations to debate the future of security in the Middle East.   But beneath the ceremonies and speeches are the bigger questions: What are these countries trying to communicate? Who are they trying to influence? And what clues can these events provide about where global competition is heading?   Ryan and Glenn look ahead at Russia's military symbolism and how Moscow continues using public displays of strength to reinforce its image as a global power. They examine North Korea's latest messaging as Pyongyang deepens ties with Russia and continues using history, propaganda, and military demonstrations to shape both domestic and international perceptions.   The episode also dives into the economic battles shaping the week ahead. The Federal Reserve meets as policymakers weigh inflation, growth, and the impact of global instability. Europe and the United States release key economic data that could reveal whether major economies are gaining momentum or starting to feel pressure from ongoing geopolitical shocks. China's manufacturing data takes center stage as Beijing tries to manage slowing domestic demand while maintaining its image of economic strength.   The team also looks at China's upcoming PLA Day messaging, what the Politburo meeting could reveal about Beijing's economic priorities, and what to watch as the European Union considers additional sanctions targeting Russia.   From military parades to central bank decisions, diplomatic debates to intelligence indicators, this episode breaks down the moments that matter before they happen. The world rarely announces its next major move in advance. It usually leaves clues. The challenge is knowing where to look.   Join Ryan and Glenn for a fast-moving intelligence briefing on the week ahead, covering Russia, China, North Korea, Iran, the Middle East, geopolitics, sanctions, military developments, and the global economy.   Whether you follow national security, foreign policy, investing, military affairs, or simply want to understand what is happening beyond the headlines, **The Restricted Handling Podcast** gives you the context you need to stay ahead of the news cycle.   👉 Subscribe to The Restricted Handling Podcast https://www.restrictedhandling.com/   Get the daily intelligence brief Ryan and Glenn read covering Russia, China, Iran, North Korea, the Middle East, geopolitics, sanctions, military and intel operations.
