00:00All right, Alexander, let's talk about this New York Times article with the title,

00:06Trump's Vision, One World, Three Powers. President Trump's recent actions and statements suggest

00:13he might want an arrangement where the United States, China, and Russia each dominate

00:18their sphere of influence. This article was published a couple of days ago, but

00:28spheres of influence. It sounds very familiar to a show that I remember watching a couple of months

00:38ago. Anyway, your thoughts on this article. I know. I mean, absolutely. I mean, one can be

00:43facetious. We can be wonderfully facetious about this. But I mean, here's another example. I mean,

00:48we were discussing spheres of influence, Donald Trump, and thinking about a system where, as I

00:56said, global powers, great powers, China, Russia, the United States, withdraw basically into spheres

01:05of influence, establish a kind of multipolar system involving each other. We even set out,

01:14and we discussed this. We also discussed, we actually coined the expression, but we used

01:20the term spheres of influence to describe what it seems that Trump was thinking about. And we even set

01:28out what the American sphere of influence was likely to be. Canada, Mexico, Greenland, Central

01:35America, the Panama Canal, and all of that. And now here, many months later, we get an article in the

01:41New York Times, which says exactly the same thing. It just took them a few months to get there. But,

01:47you know, they managed it. They finally got to the point, which we reached, I think it was in late

01:54January, early February, or sometime around that time. Yeah. Is spheres of influence possible anymore?

02:02Or actually, let me rephrase that. Is spheres of influence possible if there's a breakdown in the talks

02:13between Russia and the United States? Yes.

02:17I mean, are the two dependent on each other, or can they be exclusive?

02:21No, they're not exclusive, and they can in theory happen. But obviously, given that spheres of influence,

02:28almost by definition, are things that great powers have to negotiate with each other,

02:34then obviously, if there's a breakdown in the negotiations and a defeat for Ukraine and for

02:41the collective West in Ukraine, then negotiating what will be the Russian sphere of influence

02:48is going to become much, much more complicated. Having said that, you could also argue that once

02:54the dust settles... Maybe it'll be simpler.

02:56Exactly. Once the dust settles, it'll be simpler. Exactly. Because the Russian sphere of influence

03:02will effectively have established itself. The Russians will be in essential control of Ukraine,

03:08Moldova, Georgia, Armenia, the Caucasus, all of those places. So you could argue that it may take

03:16a little more time to do, there'll be a lot more acrimony, but we would be moving closer to

03:23getting a clearer sense of what the Russian sphere of influence would be. And the question then is,

03:31might it also extend to other places in Eastern Europe, in the Balkans, for example,

03:40than apparently the Russians could conceivably be looking for now? And these are questions which

03:47I don't think we can answer at this point. But I mean, it's something that one can easily imagine

03:54might have to be asked at some level. I think we are, by the way, and I think this is something that

03:59people need to understand. Putting aside what Trump himself probably wants, and I think spheres of

04:08influence probably does represent his own thinking. I think he does, deep down, want to see the United

04:17States concentrate on its own region. I think he's fed up with Europe. I think he has little time for

04:23Europe. I think that is true of many of the people in his administration, particularly those who are

04:28closest to him. I think he wants to pull out of the United States from Europe. I think he wants the

04:34United States to concentrate on his own region. And I think he would be happy, what were happy,

04:40I think he would be perfectly relaxed with the other two great powers, Russia and China, doing the

04:46same. So I think that is probably, probably that New York Times article, like us, are accurately

04:58describing Trump's thinking. But put aside Trump, I think that is the world we're heading to anyway.

05:07Now that the unipolar moment has gone, and there is no attempt any longer, or at least the attempt

05:15to make the entire world a globalist sphere, if you like, enforced for the globalists

05:28by the US hyperpower. Given that that project is about to fail completely, it is almost inevitable that

05:37we're going to start to see the great powers establish some kind of concert together,

05:44and that they will establish spheres of influence. And that once those spheres of influence are

05:50recognized and understood, that will probably be the world we will see, and it'll be a more stable

05:56one than we have, the one we have now. So I think that is where we're heading, as I said, almost

06:01regardless of what Trump himself might be thinking.

06:04Yeah, it's based a lot on geography.

06:08I guess this three power spheres of influence, but I don't think it can be based on geography. I mean,

06:16you have two BRICS countries. This is indeed the thinking or the plan going forward, or the outcome

06:23that eventually is coming our way. You have two BRICS countries, the two main BRICS countries,

06:29China and Russia, controlling their spheres. You have Brazil, which is another major BRICS power, but

06:38that would be in the US's sphere. I mean, is the US ready to give up on Asia, on the South Pacific?

06:50No.

06:51Where does Europe fit in? Where does the EU fit into all of this? I mean, it's a vassal of the United States.

06:58Yes.

06:58No doubt about it. The European Union is 100% a vassal of the US, 100% dependent on the United States,

07:05including all of the 27 member nations of the European Union are 100% dependent on the United States for everything.

07:13Where does the EU fit into all of this? Well, outside it, if I can put it like that.

07:21Yeah, but under who? For example, under who would they, I mean, they're a vassal of the US,

07:26but would the US continue to take care of a broke, bankrupt, corrupt European Union?

07:33Do they want that? That is the point about an American sphere of influence. It won't extend to the EU.

07:41I mean, there will probably be, I mean, between the great powers, there will be

07:47regions where the great powers do not establish direct spheres of influence and don't try to

07:56control them in the way that they would control politics, if you like, within their own sphere.

08:03So the United States would significantly downgrade its presence in Europe. It would pull out its troops

08:12from Europe. It would do all kinds of things of that kind. It would probably maintain some kind

08:17of a relationship with the EU. But the EU, the European states would be basically left on their

08:24own to sort themselves out, even as the United States retreats into its own sphere. You are absolutely

08:30correct, by the way. The United States has a natural sphere of influence. It's North America

08:37and perhaps Central America as well. And it could include Greenland, which by the way, geographically,

08:42I believe counts as North America. It's very much more difficult to see what the other obvious spheres

08:50of influence of the other great powers would be. So if we're talking about Russia, I've already said,

08:56I mean, does it include, does it extend, the Russian sphere of influence extend into some

09:02places in Eastern Europe? One can imagine that logically it would do. I mean, places like Bulgaria,

09:08Yugoslavia, former Yugoslavia. I don't just mean Serbia, by the way. I mean, the former Yugoslavia. I can

09:14easily see, however, how that would be very intensely resisted. And it might not be something that the Russians

09:23themselves want to see. Then if we're talking about spheres of influence, how does that match

09:30up with the relationship between China and Russia? I mean, would they treat Central Asia as a joint

09:37sphere of influence? Would they each continue their strategic partnership and, you know, coordinate even

09:47more closely with each other? And so that instead of a Russian and Chinese sphere of influence, we were

09:56to see a Eurasian sphere bringing the two together. Where does India fit into this picture? I mean,

10:03India, in theory, has an obvious sphere of influence, which is in the Indian subcontinent,

10:10you know, including Sri Lanka, Bangladesh, Pakistan, Myanmar. Except, of course, that just

10:20ticking off these places tells you what an enormous problems that would be. I mean, imagine

10:25how the Pakistanis would feel if they were told that they're going to be part of the India sphere.

10:30I mean, they might not be happy with that at all. And of course, if Brazil ever does become a great

10:38power, which is possible, its obvious sphere of influence is South America, south of the Panama Canal.

10:50Except, of course, again, how does Argentina, for example, feel about that? How do the Andes states,

10:59which is Spanish speaking, how would they feel about being dominated by a great power, which has a

11:07different language, Portuguese, and a somewhat different culture from them? So, you know,

11:14the Americans have the advantage of a natural sphere of influence, but it's not so straightforward

11:20between the other great powers. I think Russia and China have a strong relationship. And I think they

11:29would work very, very hard not to fracture it. And I think also they have the greater Eurasia project

11:36that they're working on together and which would probably mean that they would be able to hold

11:41together and manage any tensions. But I can certainly see that in other places, spheres of influence might

11:47not work very well and might actually lead to a whole set of problems.

11:50I wonder if a better way to look at it is, I think this is what we were getting at when we were

11:57talking about spheres of influence, is to look at it as the collective West and BRICS in a way.

12:02Yeah.

12:03You know, the United States obviously leading the collective West and BRICS being pretty much the

12:10the rest of the world and the global South. You know, for example, Mexico can absolutely look towards BRICS

12:20if it wanted to.

12:21Yes.

12:21But geographically, okay, it could fall under the collective West sphere as well. But, you know,

12:30it would have that BRICS option. You know, you could make the argument for a lot of countries in

12:42that type of situation where they could play to both spheres. Turkey. Turkey is a good example of a NATO

12:49country, a country that you could consider to be part of the collective West sphere, but also a country that

12:56could look towards BRICS and is looking towards BRICS. I mean, what do you think of that?

13:02I mean, ultimately, I think that is what's going to happen. We're going to have parallel trading and

13:10financial systems. One will be based around the BRICS. One will be based around the collective West. Within

13:17these wider blocks, there will probably be great powers. Russia, China, India within the BRICS,

13:28the United States within the collective West. And I suspect they will have their spheres of influence,

13:34their core spheres of influence more clearly defined within these blocks. So again, with Russia,

13:42maybe the territory of the former Soviet Union, with China, you know, who knows? I'm not going to start

13:50drawing lines on the map, so I'm not going to try and do that. But, you know, we could start to see

13:55that. But perhaps the way in which economies, societies are organized would be more around these big trading

14:07blocks, with the spheres of influence being more a political security issue.

14:14Yeah. Real quick to end the video, what do you make of the EU's statements about the Black Sea,

14:20that they're going to militarize the Black Sea, and they're going to try to work with,

14:24well, they're going to work with Romania, Bulgaria, they're going to be the tip of the spear,

14:29and they're going to work with Turkey, Armenia, Georgia, Azerbaijan to try and lock down

14:34the Black Sea. Because we're talking about spheres. The EU is trying to set out their sphere,

14:42I guess. Well, what they're again trying to do, I mean, they're trying to revive the whole

14:50neocon geopolitical project, which is to drive Russia out of the Black Sea. That was what Project

14:55Ukraine initially was all about, gaining control of the Black Sea, pushing the Russians out of the Black

15:02Sea, and that way, isolating the Russians in Eastern Eurasia, and ultimately causing them to break down.

15:14What this shows is that the EU, the European leaders, have learned absolutely nothing from the

15:22geopolitical disaster of the last three years. I mean, they've not changed their thinking in any way at

15:32all. Now, relying on Turkey, which is the only one of these powers that could significantly challenge

15:38Russia in the Black Sea, is an incredibly bad idea altogether. It could very easily create a crisis in

15:45Turkey, and I don't think the Turks, if they're going to play games in the Black Sea, would do so

15:50on Brussels' behalf, just to say. In all other respects, the Russians dominate the Black Sea.

15:56Just as they, just as they are, just as in the end, as we will see, they dominate the Caucasus as well.

16:09Pashinyan, you know, the leader of Armenia, went to Moscow for the victory parade. Even a pro-Western,

16:16pro-EU leader like him, and I've been to Armenia, and we haven't done programs about Armenia recently.

16:25But it seems that within Armenia itself, the pressures now have increased to resume proper

16:35business and economic relations with Russia, and even security arrangements there. So these are

16:41fantasy plans, but they tell us again how obsessively anti-Russian the people in Brussels remain.

16:52You know, Ursula, Kaya Callas, what would you expect of them? I'm going to say something else,

16:58by the way. All of these plans, fantastic plans. The other thing that they're doing

17:08is that they are making the Russians increasingly come round to the view. And on this, by the way,

17:15Putin is being openly criticized by members of the Russian government, because Putin still sticks to

17:22this position. They're coming round increasingly to the view that the EU is no longer an economic

17:26association in any shape or form. It is a kind of embryonic military political alliance,

17:34and one which is straightforwardly hostile to Russia. Yeah, Putin continues to maintain a type of

17:43soft spot for Europe, I guess. I mean, he even made comments a couple of weeks ago how he believes

17:49that Russia will eventually make up with France. I mean, he continues to have this

17:56this feeling about Europe, which I think is long, long gone. Absolutely. And the interesting thing is that

18:05on this issue, people like Lavrov, Vedvedev, other foreign ministry officials have actually openly

18:14contradicted him, which in all other respects, they scarcely ever do. But on this issue, they did. They went against him.

18:20So, and you're getting more and more Russian officials who openly say, what is this nonsense

18:27about the EU being just an economic association? It is a massively hostile, antagonistic alliance,

18:37and we must treat it that way. Yeah. All right. We will end the video
