Crises on Trade Routes: Leading to WAR?

The world’s vital trade routes are the new frontline in an intense geopolitical conflict. Tensions between BRICS nations and Western powers have reached a boiling point - are we on the brink of dramatic global war? This video explores the escalating crises threatening the stability of international trade across major shipping channels and land transport corridors. Join us as we explore Sir Halford John Mackinder’s geopolitical theories, the significance of the Red Sea and Suez Canal in global trade, and the critical role of the BRICS nations in these evolving scenarios. We dive into Putin’s call for a BRICS Transport Commission, the US-backed IMEC project, China’s Belt and Road initiative, and the INSTC network. Discover how strategic control over trade routes reshapes alliances and sparks new economic mega projects. Witness the Middle East emerge as a pivotal battleground, with renewed focus on the Suez Canal, Red Sea, and Iran’s role. Learn how US strikes in Yemen against the Houthi rebels, reveal the critical importance of Bab al-Mandab. We analyze Israel PM Netanyahu’s IMEC announcement, the controversial Ben Gurion Canal, and Turkey and Iran’s reactions. See how Gaza, the Northern Sea Route, expanded Arctic claims, the Lobito Corridor, the Panama Canal, the Somaliland issue, and South American infrastructure reshape international relations. The stakes are higher than ever as BRICS influence grows. Will shifting geopolitical alignments thrust us into a new era? Hit subscribe for ongoing coverage of the trade route wars threatening global stability. While our video thoroughly examines geography facts, trade route crises, war on the sea, and international politics, it does not delve into unrelated areas such as day-to-day stock market trends, specific country economic policies, or detailed military strategies. The focus remains on the broader geopolitical implications and not on the technical aspects of trade or individual country politics unrelated to the BRICS and Western powers. We also do not cover non-geopolitical topics like local cultural practices, unrelated global events, or technology and innovation unrelated to trade and geopolitics. #BRICS #geopolitics #internationalnews Timestamp: 00:00 - Possible showdown on International Trade Routes 00:21 - Mackinder’s theory on the importance of transportation infrastructure 01:05 - Growing relevance of connection projects in the international context 02:39 - Putin’s proposal for a BRICS Permanent Transport Commission 04:25 - New BRICS member countries and their geographic influence 05:40 - The India-Middle East-Europe Economic Corridor (IMEC) project. a potential challenge to China’s Belt and Road Initiative and to the North/South Transport Corridor INSTC 06:00 - Joe Biden Speech 07:40 - Netanyahu’s announcement of IMEC at the UN Assembly and Concerns over his map excluding Gaza 08:18 - Background on the Ben Gurion Canal proposal 09:00 - Mixed reactions to IMEC from Turkey and Iran 09:23 - Perceived failure of US regional economic integration strategy 10:08 - Impact of Yemeni attacks in the Red Sea: Ships shifting transit routes around Africa 10:51 - The Northern Sea Route as an alternative to Suez Canal 12:02 - US extended continental shelf claim in the Arctic 13:32 - Russian objections to US Arctic claims 14:58 - The Lobito Corridor project in Africa 16:20 - China’s established infrastructure influence in Africa 18:16 - Shift of Panama Canal control from US to China 19:11 - China isolating Taiwan in Latin America 20:33 - Alternative corridor projects in South America: The Bi-Oceanic Corridor and The Interoceanic Corridor of the Isthmus of Tehuantepec (CIIT) 23:35 - Conclusion on shifting geopolitics and future outlook 🎥 Don’t Miss These Videos: 🎬 🎬 ☞ Buy Us A Coffee: ✉ Sign Up for our Newsletter at 🗣 Subscribe for more free videos: @ThinkBRICS?sub_confirmation=1 ☞ Telegram: ☞ Twitter: ☞ Linkedin Group: ☞ Find Us at: ============================================================= The views and opinions expressed in this video are for informational and educational purposes only and do not necessarily reflect the official policy or position of any government or organization.
