the Pozo Daily Brief. - Since the Second World War, the whole world has been dominated by one the whole world has been dominated by one single country, the United States.
And this scenario, this kind of position is changing quite rapidly.
Organizations like the BRICS, Brazil, Russia, India and China, plus South Africa, has a great deal of connections with the rest of the world.
Iran sits at a very important position in China's Belt and Road Initiative.
China's Belt and Road Initiative, especially the economic belt, in other words, the economic connections over land, starting from the western part of China through Central Asia and then extending all the way through the Middle East, including Iran and Turkey and all the way to Central, to Eastern Europe, the Central Europe, all the way to Duisburg.
Germany, of course, Iran is a major energy exporter in gas and oil and also minerals.
And these are very, very important because these are the very things China wants.
And China's trade likewise with Russia, also very rich in resources.
And China is the world's largest energy importer.
And of course, China exports its affordable products which could improve the lives of the people all around.
The rise of the BRICS nations.
So Mexico, America's closest neighbor, a country where you would think that the economic heft, the weight of the United States of America might, I don't know, play a role in getting Mexico to stay on board With America's foreign policy.
They're also, by the way, a member, a former member of NAFTA, we remember this, and now a part of the U.S.-Mexico trade agreement.
But under the current administration, they've decided to enter into a new economic agreement.
And Mexico, this is how bad our foreign policy has gotten.
That our own southern neighbor, A country that by all rights, if the United States were a great power, that we would be able to have favorable relations with.
A country that we should have incredible trade with.
A country that we should be able to, and by the way, that doesn't mean shipping all our jobs down there, like of course we've seen.
No, but we should have favorable relations and favorable trade with Mexico.
But what do we have?
You look at the mismanagement of this relationship.
We've allowed the cartels to basically dictate whatever they want, dictate their terms.
We've allowed them to flood our country with fentanyl and killing as many people as possible, especially our youth.
We've allowed the cartels to commit horrific acts of violence on both sides of the border.
We do very little about it whatsoever.
And in exchange, what's going to happen?
Oh, they're going to go ahead and join China, who is the leader of BRICS.
And don't for a second you think otherwise.
Don't for a second think otherwise.
They're the senior partner of BRICS.
Brazil, India, South Africa, Russia, they're all together.
You know who else is getting in on it?
Saudi Arabia and Iran.
In fact, the Saudis are saying that the era of US influence in the Middle East is also waning.
Now what does this mean?
This means That BRICS is taking the place.
They're backfilling it.
Now, I've talked about this for a while.
How we are moving to an era of multipolarity.
And this is also, all things being equal, this is also why the United States would be better served reforming itself under what I talked about yesterday, the new American Republic.
And what do I mean by this?
This is actually something That the America first movement has been talking about for a long time, but possibly not put in such terms.
If we are going to be in a competitive world where we're going to have to compete with bricks, we're going to have to compete with OPEC.
We're going to have to compete with Russia, obviously for oil and gas sales around the world.
Then does it make sense for the United States to also pursue these adventures and designs of global empire at the same time?
as trying to force the rest of the world to adopt our economic policies.
It makes no sense whatsoever.
None.
What?
Now, of course, in the past, this has always been an implicit threat.
Essentially, do business with us or you'll be invaded.
Join our system and accept our whatever amount of democracy you want or is demanded, I should say, by the regime, and you'll be pushed in.
Well, that old republic is gone.
It was a slow gradual process.
But the new regime is in power now.
Biden is a figurehead at most.
He's not actually in control of any of this.
I've always pointed out that in foreign policy, Victoria Nuland seems to be the one who's mostly in control.
But why do you see the rest of the world doing this?
Simple.
They see the United States in chaos.
They see that the United States is losing Influence, economic influence, diplomatic influence around the world.
And so what are they going to do?
Of course, they're going to cut deals with China.
Of course, they're going to cut deals with Russia, the Saudis, the Iranians.
That's absolutely what they're going to do.
And so from the perspective of the United States, we need to understand, and potentially that means renegotiating alliances, re-understanding our position in the world, re-examining our position in the world.
The fact that Mexico A country that by rights should be our closest neighbor after Canada is going to join this alliance represents a massive failure on the part of the entire American foreign policy establishment.

China has launched an inspection of ships in the Taiwan Strait that includes moves to board vessels.
Taiwan has denounced the one-sided inspections and says it will not cooperate.
The move comes amid heightened tensions between China and Taiwan.
Taiwan's president held talks with the U.S.
House Speaker this week, the first to take place in the United States in decades.
The brief visit came despite warnings from China, which rejects Taiwan's self-governance and views the island as part of its own territory.
Okay, so tensions mounting around Taiwan Island exactly as we predicted.
If you've been following along at home, we know that this has been in the cards since Vladimir Putin's invasion of Ukraine.
The United States, of course, is pushing back.
So China has announced these inspection operations.
Because understand, from the Chinese perspective, they say that Taiwan is part of China.
Taiwan also, by the way, says that Taiwan is part of China.
They just argue who should be the legitimate government of China.
They disagree.
Taiwan claims it should be them.
Beijing claims it should be them.
Obviously, Beijing has the bigger military here.
So, for them to say they're conducting inspection operations, this would be the best way for China to be able to institute a backdoor blockade.
Because remember, under their law, they view all Taiwanese ports as domestic ports of China.
That are underneath Chinese military sovereignty of the CCP.
So from their perspective again Taiwan to them is a rogue province and we discussed this in our China file series.
They view the island of Taiwan as a essentially a rebel Island controlled by a provincial government that has essentially sought de facto independence in these relations with the United States and others obviously the Real history is much longer than that.
The Republic of China was the original government of all of China until 1949.
And so, what's going on right now?
Speaker McCarthy meeting with the President of Taiwan Island in California.
That's going on right now, but the supercarrier, the USS Nimitz, the flagship of Carrier Strike Group 11, is on maneuvers about 400 nautical miles east of Taiwan.
They're conducting military exercises with who?
The Japanese Maritime Self-Defense Force and the Republic of Korea, the South Korean Navy.
Why is that significant?
That's significant for two reasons.
Number one, because the Japanese and the Koreans, at least from a defense standpoint, do not always work very well together.
They do not have a history of this.
Korea still has a lot of feelings on their side.
Regarding World War two and the atrocities of Imperial Japan, but the second most important issue is That the Chinese aircraft carrier the Shandong is operating in the very same waters east of Taiwan Island Those waters by the way are close to some of the largest shipping routes in the entire world and tens of billions of dollars in exports come off of Taiwan Island every single
This is a huge superconductor hub for the entire world.
And I wish those businesses, by the way, had never left Silicon Valley.
That's why Silicon Valley is called Silicon Valley, by the way, because they used to make all the chips there.
It's where they made all the silicon.
But obviously that's moved around the world.
Taiwan has beaten the pants off of us.
I would love for those businesses to come back and those industries to come back.
But this is the current situation.
What else is happening?
So that so they're 400 miles off.
The Chinese aircraft carrier is 200 miles off.
If they were able to conduct those operations and say, we're inspecting every commercial vessel that goes into Taiwan, what happens then when Taiwan says, no, the Taiwanese flagship says, we are not going to submit to this interdiction.
We're not going to submit to your patrol.
We're not going to stay in.
Well, let's look at this folks.
Obviously you can see Taiwan Island.
It's it's very small.
It is 17 times smaller than the country of Ukraine.
It's about 1.5 size times the size of New Jersey.
So that Island also obviously very very close to mainland China.
Additionally a blockade could be devastating for Taiwan because nearly 90% of Taiwan's energy and their energy supplies are all imported.
So, a blockade for them is more than just a military exercise.
It could mean life or death.
It could mean cutting them off from energy, and their reserves are very, very small.
And don't even get me started on the fact that renewable energies are going to be doing anything for them.
By the way, This energy security issue for Taiwan could have been potentially prevented had Taiwan sought more nuclear energy.
And yet, there was a movement that, you can guess who was supporting that, a movement on Taiwan Island to stop and actually ban nuclear energy from the island.
Even though it is a key security risk for the island, they decided not to Go down the nuclear power route.
No, no, no, no, no.
They decided to continue sticking with the route of importing 90%.
Now, the measure did fail, but they've still failed to really pursue this.
And this is a huge problem that I see with a lot of these countries.
The same problem that Germany found themselves in when it came to the Ukraine war, because so much of their energy was reliant on fossil fuels.
And that's fine, by the way.
If you want to go down that route, but also you need to have security over those imports.
If you are going to import your resources and why wouldn't you, why wouldn't any country seek to use fourth generation nuclear?
You would solve the problem of getting into situations like this, because at this point you've walked into a ravine and you're entirely surrounded.
And so can Taiwan rely on the United States?
Will the rely, will the United States, Not only send this aircraft carrier, but would the USS Nimitz under President Biden be willing to actually fight to break that blockade under President Biden?
I don't know.
We'll see.
And isn't it a coincidence that all of this happens just a couple days after the party in power here in the United States arrested their top political opponent?
There are no conspiracies, but there are coincidences.

France will be a guest of honor in future relationships and future events when we focus on striking a new balance.
Because we need to ensure that companies working within Chinese borders can do so normally.
Coming closer over Saudi Arabia and Iran, which is a welcome change.
We could also speak of Lebanon.
And the sense of stability that needs to be brought into the region.
We could also talk about the situation in North Korea and Iran.
But to speak of peace and stability today, obviously that means we have to speak of war.
War that is being waged by Russia in Ukraine.
Also, we take very seriously the matter of nuclear powers.
And if you understand that France agrees with you in saying that nuclear warfare should not be part of any way forward.
Paris is on fire as Emmanuel Macron is over in Beijing, sucking up, but also trying and failing to win over Xi Jinping in this meeting they just had.
And this is ridiculous.
The whole thing is completely upside down.
You've got Emmanuel Macron in Beijing.
Telling Xi Jinping, totally misreading the situation, by the way.
Totally misreading who needs who in this situation.
Xi doesn't need Macron.
Macron needs China.
And so they've decided to continue their economic relationship.
They've even said, we must continue our economic relationship.
Meanwhile, back in Paris, they're storming the offices of BlackRock, or at least the building that the BlackRock offices are in.
Protesters there briefly stormed it over the privatization of the pension system in France, as well as the raising of the retirement age from 62 to 64.
Now, keep in mind, this is the same thing here in the United States that our social security system is.
It's essentially a nationwide pension.
That we're all supposed to pay into, and that eventually we expect to at least get some of.
Well, for people who have been paying in their entire lives, how do you think it feels if the government suddenly comes in and tells you you're not going to have that anymore?
Okay?
Just understand how people are going to react.
This is how they're going to react.
And they see it as benefiting who?
Benefiting places like BlackRock.
And so that's why you're starting to see them Actually targeting the World Economic Forum's operation arm, and I've called this out many, many times, BlackRock itself.
Now again, again, we don't do violence around here.
We do peacefully, politically, and patriotically.
That's what we do around here.
But when you look at the anger that's out there, this anger against Macron, This anger against what the neoliberal order is doing at the same time that he's over there trying to suck up to Xi Jinping, who, by the way, even Politico pointed out he committed a major faux pas because Xi Jinping had, so when two leaders, okay, this is just basic 101 level diplomacy.
I think everybody should know this, that when the world leaders are speaking and you go and speak in someone else's country, And you're welcomed in, and you're treated as a peer, as Macron was, probably the last time.
Macron decided to speak for twice as long as Xi Jinping.
He doesn't understand the basic rules of diplomacy, or even just, I don't know, politeness, formality, manners.
He seems to not even get this.
So he spoke for twice as long, and then during the diplomatic remarks at the press conference, He started going into castigating Xi Jinping again, saying, you need to push Russia to end the war in Ukraine.
You need to do more.
You need to go in.
It brought up sanctions at one point.
This is ridiculous.
This is not how you get, this is not how you negotiate.
Emmanuel Macron, you're an idiot.
When it comes, you know what you need?
You need to read one time, the art of the deal.
Have you ever read it?
Because I don't know if they still do this, but you know, business schools used to actually have art of the deal.
As the center of their MBA classes, they understood that the negotiation skills in and taught him and imparted in that book that Donald Trump used when he was a businessman are just classic examples of the best ways to negotiate.
And not, and one of them is not insulting the person that you're trying to get something out of.
That's probably the last thing you're supposed to do.
Especially going to their own house and doing that.
Emmanuel Macron is an absolute fool.
He pushed through this pension reform without even a single vote.
He's the one who's ruling as an autocrat right now.
Not Xi Jinping in this instance, even though obviously Xi Jinping is a dictator, but not Viktor Orban, not President Trump.
He never did anything like this.
And yet Macron is going to sit up there and say he stands for democracy.
Or is it egalitarianism?
Fraternity?
Liberté?
No, I don't think so.
I think that what he's doing is designed to implement the World Economic Forum agenda.
And what you're seeing there is Xi Jinping telling Macron, because he knows, by the way, that Macron isn't just there on his own behalf, that he's an agent of the globalist American empire.
The World Economic Forum's lackey.
They're a little page boy.
And he's telling the page boy, go and tell your masters like Mr. Klaus and Mr. George, that I am no longer for sale.
I'm not going to be the junior partner anymore.
I'm going to be the senior partner.
And that's exactly what's going on.
He's telling him and treating him like a page boy, because guess what?
Xi Jinping can see what's going on.
Inside Paris, he knows this guy can't even control his own capital, can't even control his own people.
He's running around here, sucking up.
Our leaders have put the West in the worst position that we've been in, in 50 years.
And we need to understand that that's been the theme of today's show.
No wonder the U S dollar is tanking.
No wonder the globalist American empire is getting more and more desperate.
The Prime Minister of Finland just lost her election.
She was just removed from office.
Do you understand?
People can sense what's going on now and they want change before it all crashes down around us.
