We are uh absolutely making enemies of every place in the world. India and China and Russia gotten much closer together. Absolutely pushed by the United States into their embrace. Jeffrey Saxs recently went on Judge Npalitano's show to explain how Trump has alienated the entire world. How Trump's actions on the foreign policy stage, not only in the Middle East, but also in Ukraine, have pushed the BRICS alliance closer together and could spell disaster for the United States. So, let's get his take on this. Please like the video and subscribe to the channel.
We see President Trump's approval ratings falling very significantly. We're all in the same situation. Let's not forget the United States government is hemorrhaging uh deficits right now. We have an unprecedented deficit of that will be around 7% of GDP in peace time next year. Why? Because President Trump is so was so absolutely insistent on tax cuts for the rich. Uh and he continues to say we need bigger military spending. Whatever he says about war and peace and everything else, he's for big defense or it's not defense spending anymore, it's war spending now. I have to get get our lingo correct. Uh he wants the Department of War to have bigger budgets.
Well, this is what's happening all across the so-called West. Yeah, he's right about the defense budget. It is the war budget, and they boast about the fact that it's the first trillion dollar Pentagon budget, $150 billion more than Biden's biggest one. But I don't agree with them on tax cuts. The big beautiful bill imposed $5 trillion more in terms of debt spending which will be offset by financing that through inflation which is a tax. This is a tax raising regime. Not only through inflation and the guaranteed inflation to come from that monstrous bill, but also the tariff regime. That's taxation, too. That's taxes Americans pay. I know they like to sell it in the media like we're taxing China or we're taxing Russia, we're taxing India stupidly, especially in that last case. But this is a tax that Americans pay. And yeah, you can say that the big abominable bill prolonged the Bush or the the Trump tax cuts from his first term, but that's already what Americans were paying in terms of the bracket. So that's no change from the status quo. So there isn't any tax cuts for the rich. I'm sorry to say here there's taxes for everyone increasing because of this Trump regime. It makes no sense at all. Uh and uh we see it in Germany, the United States, France, UK and there are a number of others that I could add.
The uh State Department over the weekend announced that it will scrutinize carefully all requests for visas from Latin American uh countries if it believes that the visa requestor had any u made any public statements in support of China. I don't get it. We're barring all Palestinians from Mahmoud Abbas to kids with no legs who could get prosthetics here in New York City. Now we're going to bar people from Latin America because of their expression of statements exercising the freedom of speech in their own home countries. We are uh absolutely making enemies of every place in the world. By the way, a raid on a Korean investment in the United States which rounded up Korean workers has led also to a a crisis with the Korean government. Yeah. And also killing 11 people that were supposedly drug runners in that boat and agitating for regime change with Venezuela with Pete Hegsth saying regime change isn't off the table. Yeah, Sax is right. The United States sure is making enemies in every corner of the world. And this is a president that generally campaigned on non-interventionism and ending the war in Ukraine into not getting in senseless neocon style conflicts with foreign powers. Well, that's what you get when you surround yourself with the likes of Marco Rubio and Mike Huckabe and Miriam Adelson funding your campaign. That's the natural result. It's an embrace of the war regime, an embrace of the military-industrial complex and the slap in the face to the American people. Uh we have violations of all the international principles of people being able to come for peaceful diplomacy at the United Nations. We're shooting people out of the water. No trials, no evidence needed. Just shoot first. Uh in uh the Caribbean waters. Uh our ally ally in Japan uh which is wondering whether the United States is an ally. The prime minister also just fell. In other words, political instability everywhere that the United States aggravates everywhere. Or I should put it a different way, political instability throughout the countries that ostensibly are cooperative with the United States. Uh the ones we call adversaries, they're not unstable. They're actually getting together and saying we, you know, this is what we need to do in in the face of uh abuse from the United States. Yeah.
The worst one is India. And I can't believe how preposterous this decision was to levy a 50% tariff on Indian goods because India dares to trade with Russia. India was a company or a country headed by an individual Modi that was close with Trump. They seem to have a really good relationship in Trump's first term. And now Trump is doing everything he can to alienate India at a time that he could masterfully try to extract India from BRICS by building closer relations with India. But instead, just like Russia, he's pushing India closer into the BRICS alliance that is characterized by three major nuclear powers in India, China, and Russia. This is one of the stupidest foreign policy decisions Trump has ever made. And I don't say that lightly because there have been many, but it's something that's being undercovered. And the fact that India is being pushed closer into BRICS is a preposterous thing for the America First mentality where you actually want to have peace with countries that don't want to do you wrong that want to trade with you and have diplomacy and you slap them in the face with this stupid tariff which again Americans will pay but they won't take kindly to it either because they're going to just be pushed closer to BRICS and trade more with BRICS partners now. But what we are doing is isolating the United States uh in diplomatic terms, in economic terms, actually in financial terms because we're hastening the uh uh departure of the rest of the world from the dollar-based trading system because they don't want the unilateral sanctions. They don't want the unilateral uh tariff impositions and every uh other thing. And yet the White House continues to talk that yes, we'll put on even more sanctions.
Extraordinarily um what uh Trump has said to the European leaders, excuse me, is that uh well, you should stop buying even the residual amounts of oil and gas that you buy from uh Russia and buy it from us at six times the cost. He's a he's an arms salesman and and he's a natural gas salesman and this is uh this is what we call governance in the United States since his disastrous imposition of a 50% secondary tariff uh on India and the now uh public reaction uh of uh Prime Minister Modi. How strong has the BRICS SCO group become economically visav the West? The the BRICS are uh the large emerging economies uh that say we don't get bossed around by the United States. So that includes Brazil, Russia, India, China, South Africa. Uh Trump has gone over gone after each one of those and Syria and Iran. Syria toppled the regime by the United States with the help from Israelis and the Turks under Operation Timber Sycamore where the US allied with al-Qaeda for the sake of Israel and Netanyahu and Iran that the United States struck because of Netanyahu's obsession with regime change there. We created a new war there. There's a ceasefire now, but Israeli officials are clamoring for more war against Iran now. They want to destabilize that regime in the sake of greater Israel too. These are BRICS countries too. And the US is doing everything they can to strengthen the BRICS alliance. My criminal government is doing the most America Last thing by incentivizing these countries to get closer together. And it might not be a huge issue now to a lot of people, but if they create an alternative currency and the US dollar stops being the world reserve currency, that's a huge economic catastrophe for the United States beyond the geopolitical ramifications. And three great nuclear powers aligning against the United States. Uh with Brazil. Uh there the penalty tariffs are because uh Trump didn't like a uh judicial process underway in an independent Brazilian judiciary uh against a coup attempt claimed by the uh former president. So he put on tariffs on Brazil on Russia. We know on India these are the penalty tariffs so-called because India buys oil from Russia as does Europe as does much of the world as we do with uranium and other purchases from Russia but he put the tariffs on uh with China we know it's a a whole paniply of of unilateral actions with South Africa we also saw the abuse of South Africa by our government. So that's been after each of the BRICS. Yeah.
The United States again is doing things totally counterintuitive to actual America First interests and trading with all, engaging with peace and diplomacy with all and entangling alliances with none. You know the mantra that Jefferson championed in his first inaugural address, which should be the American doctrine toward foreign policy. John Quincy Adams once applauded America for its most redeeming quality was it doesn't go overseas to search for monsters to destroy. But the last century has shown a very different tale. I hate to say the Shanghai Cooperation Organization is the Asian grouping. It has some overlap. It includes China, India, Russia and then four Central Asian countries. Tajikistan, Uzbekistan, Kazakhstan and Kyrgyzstan and Belarus. They just had their meeting in Tianjin, China. They were all pulled together by Trump's going Trump administration actions against those countries as well. And so there was a great deal of camaraderie. Uh there was the famous pictures we've seen in recent days of Prime Minister Modi of India, President Putin uh of Russia and President Xi Jinping of China all together very jovial, very cooperative. Uh absolutely pushed by the United States into their embrace. Yeah, absolutely. This should horrify Americans, not because China and Russia and India are preparing to attack the United States, but the long-term ramifications of those three giant countries with huge populations, all nuclear powers getting closer in alignment is something that should get far more coverage. This is a major disaster and it's a major disaster for the Trump administration to again push India closer to the other two when it could have extracted India from that alliance much like Nixon extracted China from you know Soviet communism in the 1970s. Nixon was a disaster in so many ways in foreign policy but it really was a good idea to create a schism that was deeper between the Soviet Union and China even though one already existed at that time. So whatever the US may think it's doing it is bringing down our allied governments so-called allies uh one after another of these governments is falling whether it is France or Japan or governments put at threat like Korea uh because of US Korea tensions or the absolutely plummeting approval of the other countries. Countries that I've mentioned or it is strengthening uh greatly the various groupings of countries that say stop with the unilateral uh punishments and sanctions and demands and penalties that the United States is putting on us. Yeah, this is a good point. The converse and the flip side to pushing the BRICS alliance countries closer is the fact that the globalists the Marises and Macron and Starmer and Van der Leyen of the world have record low approval ratings. I think that I just saw Macron's approval rating was something like or 20% something like that. Starmer suffering greatly. Mayors just being destroyed. All of which are hardcore NATO supporting countries dedicated to fighting it out in Ukraine or at least saying that they will. I don't think they would if the United States were to disengage, which I hope still happens, but nothing's telling me that's going to happen. That's the flip side here. You see disastrous leaders on the NATO side. If you look at Asia, I think uh not only have India and China and Russia gotten much closer together during these days of uh the first year of the Trump administration because of US policies. But China uh I'm sorry but Japan and Korea certainly are re-evaluating their own security uh issues as well. And I am absolutely of the view that basically the Asian countries will say Asia is for the Asian countries and the United States should stop its meddling. And this is uh perhaps the opposite of what the administration thinks it's doing, but this is the absolute clear result of the policies that the administration is following. Yeah, totally agree. I think they know what they're doing though. They know this will antagonize the rest of the world. They just have to sell it because it might prove lucrative in the future to have more proxy wars against these powers, against India, against China, against Russia, funneling money from the middle class, fleecing the middle class in the United States and sending it to the big banks and the military-industrial complex to keep providing weapons. That's exactly what's on the table with this new proxy proxy war idea. Instead of a proxy war, we'll just add another layer above it and send weapons first to the European powers and then the European powers will send them to Ukraine and then Ukraine will use them to fight the Russians. This doesn't solve anything. It's a copout and it isn't America First. This is empire building first. This is Ukraine First. This is entangling alliances first. This is empire building first. We want none of it. I'm so sick of US foreign policy being so bad and disastrous regardless of the administration in power. And don't get me wrong, Biden was no different. Bush was no different. And that is a big problem in and of itself that Trump campaigned so heavily and so hard against neocons, including Liz Cheney in his last week of his last campaign in 2024. But he sure does seem to embrace the foreign policy of Liz Cheney and Dick Cheney much of the time. You know, talking about regime change being on the table in Venezuela now, just like he did talk about regime change being on the table with Iran when he bombed Yemen for a month, when he bombed Iran, when he keeps the money flowing into Ukraine as some liberal Democrats still think he's a Putin agent working for Putin in the United States. It's so preposterous. But this lie has been sold over and over through a grand propaganda scheme that we're in it for democracy. We're in it to spread liberal values throughout the world. We're in it for the good of humanity against this Hitlerian empire that Putin is trying to form as we speak. It's all a farce. It's all preposterous and it needs to change. Let me know down below.
