| You are now witnessing the collapse of globalization and the collapse of the ability of the United States Navy to ensure the safety of sea lanes where all the world's goods and energy products are transported. | |
| This is happening right now in the Red Sea where now I think six of the world's top shipping container companies have said they will no longer transport Any vessels through the Red Sea because of the attacks from the Houthis in Yemen who are attacking these ships in response to Israel's war on Gaza. | |
| And the Houthis say that they will not stop these attacks until Israel stops its bombardment of Gaza, an act that many observers and many nations around the world have condemned as acts of genocide, ethnic cleansing, or war crimes. | |
| And whether or not you agree with that description of what Israel is doing, the Houthis absolutely do agree with that. | |
| And they have drones, and they have rockets, and it turns out that When ships go through the Red Sea on their way to or from the Suez Canal in Egypt, they have to sail right by Yemen. | |
| And this puts them within range of relatively low-cost, simple, short-range devices such as rockets and drones that can attack these ships. | |
| And that's exactly what is happening right now. | |
| This is also an example of asymmetric warfare. | |
| So by expending just a few tens of thousands of dollars on these drones and rockets, the Houthis can halt the transport of hundreds of billions of dollars in cargo, and they can induce long delays by forcing these ships to sail around the southern tip of the African continent instead of using the Suez Canal. | |
| This will of course strongly disrupt global supply chains and it will lead to shortages of energy products as well as consumer products and raw materials in Europe and other regions around the world. | |
| So we're talking about a very small expenditure On drones and rockets having a huge effect on global trade and leading to massive losses among corporations that have come to depend on the governments of the world, specifically the United States Navy to keep these sea lanes open and operating. | |
| But I've spoken about this in the past. | |
| I've said that as the United States Navy loses its ability to project power and fear over the rest of the world, that these sea lanes will be subject to attack and the U.S. will be unable to protect them, which means that we will see a loss in globalization, that is, global supply chains based on very affordable, very efficient transportation via shipping containers. | |
| You know, many of these cargo vessels can hold tens of thousands or even over a hundred thousand shipping containers. | |
| And that makes international shipping very inexpensive. | |
| But those days are about to go bye-bye. | |
| So what you're going to see now is more countries saying that we aren't afraid of the U.S. Navy. | |
| Because, after all, the U.S. can't really project much power on the ground. | |
| And that was proven with the withdrawal from Afghanistan under Biden, which was an embarrassing but pivotal moment for the Pentagon and the US military, especially in the eyes of other countries around the world, realizing that, hey, you know, the United States isn't really as powerful as it once was. | |
| This is not a military to be feared. | |
| Now, there's no question the US Navy is still the strongest and most dominant Navy in the world. | |
| But even all the naval ships in the world can't crawl across the land. | |
| So they're limited to the waters, obviously. | |
| And this is why Yemen is not afraid of the U.S. Navy. | |
| In addition, the U.S. Navy, yes, they can fire cruise missiles and they can launch fighter jets and bombers and so on, and they can do a lot of kinetic damage from some distance. | |
| If that kind of exchange begins, the U.S. Navy is also a bunch of sitting ducks out there. | |
| Because how hard is it to hit an aircraft carrier? | |
| You can overwhelm the carrier's defenses with rockets. | |
| You can not only hit container ships with rockets and drones, you can hit naval vessels. | |
| And this is exactly where this is going if it continues to escalate. | |
| And you've probably noticed this huge collection of U.S. naval vessels and multiple aircraft carriers and carrier strike groups that are gathering in the Middle East right now. | |
| Some in the Mediterranean. | |
| Some in the Red Sea. | |
| Some actually in the Persian Gulf at this moment. | |
| Some moving through the Strait of Hormuz right beside Iran. | |
| And this is crazy. | |
| I've never seen so many U.S. naval ships in the region. | |
| And what it means is that there's nothing available for the U.S. Navy to protect Taiwan, for example, or to monitor the South Pacific. | |
| The U.S. is stretched too thin. | |
| And China is no doubt noticing this. | |
| Russia is noticing this. | |
| And if the U.S. Navy can't even protect cargo ships in the Red Sea, then a lot of countries are asking the question, you know, what good is the U.S. military in terms of protecting trade routes, and what good is the U.S. dollar? | |
| And this is why Russia and China are now no longer using the dollar at all in trades between themselves. | |
| It's just rubles and yuan, and that's it. | |
| And also, BRICS nations are being encouraged to completely drop the dollar, and you can bet that those plans are underway. | |
| And these things are related. | |
| The strength of the dollar currency is, in essence, directly proportional to the strength of the U.S. Navy and the U.S. military's ability to project power around the world. | |
| So as that power is waning, as we've seen, even with the defeat of the United States by Russia in Ukraine, And the defeat in Afghanistan and other places as well, then we're going to see the dollar currency collapse at the same time. | |
| Now there are so many sub-issues to talk about here. | |
| One is, of course, that the supply chain of products that you rely on, spare parts for vehicles and air conditioners and components for everything, those are going to be much more difficult to get. | |
| And you're going to have a problem sourcing things kind of like what we experienced during COVID. Longer waits, higher prices, more scarcity. | |
| This is going to affect the U.S. economy as well as the corporations and manufacturers that also rely on these components can no longer get them in a reliable manner. | |
| Sure, they will eventually show up. | |
| It's just going to take a lot longer. | |
| So that's one issue. | |
| Get ready for supply chain chaos. | |
| The second issue is to understand that the reason these ships are no longer being allowed to traverse the Red Sea is because the insurance companies have dropped insurance coverage for that region. | |
| So these large shipping companies such as Maersk or Evergreen or Costco, of course, they have to have insurance for their ships and their cargo in case of catastrophic events. | |
| Well, if they can't sail with insurance, then they can't sail at all. | |
| So the insurance companies are telling them, we will no longer insure your ships and your loads because of instability in this region and the attacks from the Houthis and the possibility of Iran getting involved and the U.S. Navy starting a shooting war and so on. | |
| So basically, the whole region, including the Red Sea, is being turned into a war zone. | |
| And these insurance companies are saying, we won't insure your ships sailing through a war zone. | |
| But now, think about where this goes. | |
| We know there's a lot of tension right now between China and Taiwan. | |
| And we know that China has set its sights on countries like even the Philippines, for example. | |
| And that China has laid claim to a lot of the waters in that region in a disputed fashion. | |
| You know, China has seized or even built up artificial islands, and then they've used those to claim that The seas around those islands belong to China. | |
| The South China Sea, the Straits of Taiwan, and so on. | |
| These are all disputed areas now. | |
| If the US can't project naval power to maintain dominant control over those waters, then what does this mean for exports of consumer goods from countries like South Korea, Vietnam, Taiwan in particular? | |
| But also, if you think about it, Japan, the Philippines, Australia, the whole region there could be thrown into chaos with disruptions caused by By essentially the same thing we're seeing in the Red Sea area right now. | |
| What if China decides to start attacking US naval vessels using shore-based missile batteries? | |
| What if we actually get into a conflict with China there? | |
| Well, that would mean then there would be no insurability Of the shipping containers out of any of those countries. | |
| And imagine exports halted from China or imagine exports halted from Korea or Vietnam or the countries I mentioned or even Indonesia. | |
| You're talking about a complete cutoff of prescription pharmaceuticals, computer components, telecommunications components. | |
| I mean, you're talking about consumer goods and plastics and resins and polymers and chemicals and Essentially, the entire global supply chain as we know it would be shattered. | |
| And that scenario is not fiction. | |
| That scenario, you're actually seeing it unfold right now in the Red Sea on kind of a smaller scale. | |
| Now, the U.S. can survive without exports out of the Middle East, although it would certainly disrupt a lot of industries. | |
| But the U.S. cannot survive Without exports out of China and Asian countries. | |
| So that is absolutely essential for the survival of the U.S. economy and the continued functioning of the U.S. economy. | |
| So understand what we're talking about here. | |
| The U.S. does not manufacture as much as it used to, not by a long shot, especially compared to post-World War II. And U.S. steel was just sold to Japanese steel giant, Nippon steel, For $14.9 billion. | |
| So that means the United States no longer has much of a steel infrastructure under its own control domestically. | |
| U.S. Steel was the second largest steel manufacturer in the United States. | |
| And that steel, of course, is used in not only commercial construction and rebar and so on, but also steel is used very heavily in military weapons such as tanks and artillery, guns, I'm not talking about firearms. | |
| I mean big guns of war as well as naval vessels and infantry fighting vehicles, transportation and so on. | |
| So without control over that steel and without having imports from Asia, the United States of America is essentially under siege. | |
| Under an economic siege where it cannot function, it cannot build anything, and its economy cannot function at all. | |
| So what we're actually seeing demonstrated in the Red Sea by the Houthis is no doubt getting the attention of the Communist Chinese Party right now, which is probably figuring out, hey, the easiest way to crush the United States and defeat the country is just launch an economic the easiest way to crush the United States and defeat the country is just launch an economic blockade that bans exports out of Asian countries And that's it. | |
| The United States collapses. | |
| And this is the result of too many corporations in America offshoring all their manufacturing to China and other countries. | |
| And the United States will be left with just exports out of Mexico and, of course, Canada, I suppose. | |
| But Mexico generates a lot more exports for the U.S. compared to Canada, although there is considerable trade with Canada, but it's nothing compared to our trade with Asia. | |
| Yeah. | |
| So that's the scenario. | |
| Again, the big macroeconomic picture that is emerging here is that, number one, the sea lanes, the shipping lanes are not safe. | |
| That the ability of the United States military to protect those sea lanes is rapidly collapsing. | |
| And one of my concerns is that there's going to be an incident in the Middle East where a US naval vessel is attacked and either severely damaged or even destroyed. | |
| And that's going to set a precedent. | |
| That's going to show that the US Navy is outdated. | |
| That it is incompetent in the way it functions, which it is, because it's all woke. | |
| They just put the woke commanders at the highest ranks, and they have no idea what they're doing. | |
| And, you know, we've seen naval vessels colliding with each other in years past because they don't even know how to pilot these ships. | |
| They just drive them around until they crash into something. | |
| I mean, there are good people in the Navy. | |
| They're just not put into the positions of control. | |
| You know, they're just taking the wokiest wokester and saying, oh, you're an admiral now. | |
| Go drive that ship. | |
| Drive it into the reef or something. | |
| That's kind of the thing that we're seeing. | |
| And perhaps that's an exaggeration, but I'm trying to make a point. | |
| The U.S. Navy is not the Navy it used to be. | |
| Aircraft carriers are sitting ducks. | |
| And advancements in missiles and rockets and drones, including underwater drones, have now allowed smaller countries such as Yemen to be able to disrupt world trade while spending very little money and even threatening the United States Navy. | |
| So that's the situation we're facing right now. | |
| And it turns out that all of these decades of coercion and pointing guns at people, you know, the U.S. empire running around the world, assassinating leaders and threatening everybody or bribing or blackmailing everybody to say, you have to trade in dollars and you have to trade with us and you have to do what we say. you have to trade in dollars and you have to That era is coming to an end and as it does, world trade will no longer be the same. | |
| The globalization of the supply routes is about to collapse and that means things at home are about to get a lot more expensive and a lot more scarce. | |
| So get ready to pay 10 times more for many products that can no longer be imported soon as this situation escalates. | |
| And by the way, you'll be buying those products with dollars that are worth less and less every day because of all the money printing. | |
| So it's the worst from both angles. | |
| You have inflation because your dollars are worth less, and then you have Core price increases because you can't get cheap, efficient, affordable exports out of these countries because the Navy can't protect the supply chains. | |
| So that's something to look forward to, huh? | |
| Well, this is what happens when you rig elections and you put a bunch of lunatics in charge of the White House and the State Department and the Pentagon. | |
| This is what happens. | |
| Stolen elections have consequences. | |
| That's why I say get out there and get your goods now while you still can. | |
| Get your ammunition. | |
| It's about to go up in price massively. | |
| Or if you don't know what to do with funds, consider gold and silver. | |
| Check out goldbacks. | |
| I've got a website where I did all the testing on goldbacks and I confirmed how much gold they actually contain, which is over 100% of what they claim. | |
| You can see all the test results and you can check prices and everything at verifiedgoldbacks.com. | |
| That's an affiliate site. | |
| We earn a small percentage there that helps support our platform. | |
| But if you're not familiar with Goldbacks, man, check it out. | |
| These are really amazing. | |
| VerifiedGoldbacks.com. | |
| And the other thing you might consider is buying diesel. | |
| Get yourself a diesel tank. | |
| Load up on diesel because I think that oil and all of its byproducts is about to become a lot more expensive in 2024 and beyond. | |
