** Welcome To The Choke Points **India’s rupee slid past the psychological 90-per-dollar line—and the real story isn’t just “currency weakness.” It’s the plumbing: how dollar inflows tighten when exports face pressure, how RBI intervention works in spot vs forwards, and why headlines about India selling U.S. Treasuries (TIC data) often signal liquidity management—not ideology.In this video, we connect the dots between tariffs → export receipts → bank dollar liquidity → USD/INR spikes → RBI response, and where BRICS/local-currency trade fits into the bigger trend: reducing routine dollar dependence while still needing USD liquidity in stress moments.SEO keywords:india rupee vs dollar, usd inr 90, rbi intervention explained, forex reserves india, india us treasuries tic data, tic report treasury holdings, brics national currency trade, de dollarization reality, tariffs impact on currency, india fx market spot vs forward, ndf vs onshore inr**Chapters**00:00 — Why 90/USD matters (psychology vs reality)01:20 — Tariffs & export dollars: what actually changes03:40 — The USD/INR machine: who buys dollars and why06:10 — RBI intervention: spot, forwards, swaps (simple explanation)09:10 — What is TIC data and why “Treasury selling” shows up12:00 — Does selling Treasuries “replace export dollars”?

** Welcome To The Choke Points **BRICS has entered a “second stage of expansion” — but this phase isn’t about adding flags. It’s about making BRICS usable: trade settlement, banking rails, liquidity, and repeat financing that shows up in real balance sheets, not summit speeches.In this video, we break down why BRICS expansion created expectations, why membership alone doesn’t change payment systems, where the new pressure is coming from (tariffs, chokepoints, sanctions-risk), what “utilization” actually depends on (firms, banks, market depth), how BRICS is trying to build real usage (local-currency settlement, NDB lending, platforms), and how India can turn “stage two” into execution.seo keywords: brics expansion, brics second stage, brics partner countries, brics de-dollarization, local currency settlement, brics payment system, new development bank ndb, brics trade settlement, india brics 2026, global trade finance, sanctions risk, tariff pressure, dollar rails, currency market liquidityChapters00:00 BRICS Stage Two Explained01:05 What Changed After Expansion02:40 Why Membership Is Not Enough04:10 Where the Pressure Now Comes From05:45 What Utilization Depends On07:30 How BRICS Is Trying to Create Usage09:10 India’s Execution Plan for Stage Two#hashtags#brics #bricsexpansion #dedollarization #tradefinance #globaleconomy #internationaltrade #geopolitics #currency #ndb #india #emergingmarkets #supplychains #sanctions #tariffs #multipolarity #thechokepoints X: @thechokepointsTikTok: @thechokepointsRumble: @thechokepointsSpotify: @thechokepointsYouTube: @thechokepoints

** Welcome To The Choke Points **Why did Prime Minister Narendra Modi visit Ethiopia just as India takes over the BRICS presidency in 2026?This video breaks down the strategic sequence connecting President Putin’s India visit, trade corridors, India’s BRICS chairmanship, and Ethiopia’s role as the headquarters of the African Union.We explain how BRICS already functions like the G20, why Africa doesn’t need 55 individual seats inside BRICS, and how the African Union could enter BRICS as a partner institution rather than as separate countries.This is not about symbolism or headlines.It’s about institutions, trade routes, and how global systems quietly evolve.If you’re interested in brics expansion, india africa relations, global south institutions, trade corridors, and the future of world order, this video is for you.00:00 introduction — trade corridors, brics presidency & the ethiopia visit01:48 chapter 1 — why the timing of modi’s ethiopia visit matters06:05 chapter 2 — african union, g20 precedent & brics structure11:02 chapter 3 — why india is driving brics–africa integration15:45 conclusion — institutions, not flags#brics #brics2026 #indianforeignpolicy #africanunion #ethiopia #globalsouth #tradecorridors #geopolitics #worldorder #internationalrelations #thechokepoints X: @thechokepointsTikTok: @thechokepointsRumble: @thechokepointsSpotify: @thechokepointsYouTube: @thechokepoints

** Welcome To The Choke Points **In this episode, we break down one of the most surprising geopolitical stories of the year — the reports claiming that the United States considered creating a new great-power group called the Core 5 (C5) with China, Russia, India, and Japan. Media outlets described an alleged longer, unpublished version of the U.S. National Security Strategy that proposed this new power bloc, though Washington firmly denies it exists.We analyze what the reports said, why these five countries matter, why the U.S. denied the story, and what this entire controversy reveals about the shifting world order. Whether the C5 was real, misinterpreted, or symbolic — this story exposes major anxieties shaping geopolitics today.If you want a clear, structured, data-driven breakdown of one of the most talked-about strategic rumors of the year, this episode is for you.📌 CHAPTERS00:00 — intro: the unexpected “c5” story01:12 — chapter 1: what the reports claimed04:30 — chapter 2: why these five countries?08:20 — chapter 3: the u.s. denial12:05 — chapter 4: what the c5 story really reveals#geopolitics #worldorder #uspolicy #c5 #g7 #globalpower #nationalsecurity #foreignpolicy #globalgovernance #multipolarity #thechokepoints X: @thechokepointsTikTok: @thechokepointsRumble: @thechokepointsSpotify: @thechokepointsYouTube: @thechokepoints

** Welcome To The Choke Points **Rare earth elements sit at the center of modern power. They’re inside every smartphone, missile system, radar array, electric motor, satellite, and advanced energy technology the United States depends on. But despite their importance, America relies overwhelmingly on foreign nations—especially China—for mining, processing, and magnet manufacturing.In this documentary, we break down what rare earths are, why they matter, and how the U.S. became dangerously dependent on external supply chains for materials critical to its national security. We explore China’s rise to dominance, America’s loss of industrial capacity, and the urgent scramble to rebuild a secure rare-earth ecosystem before it becomes too late.This is the story of a quiet vulnerability with massive geopolitical consequences.⏱️ CHAPTERS00:00 – Intro: Why Rare Earths Now Decide Global Power01:12 – Chapter 1: What Are Rare Earths and Why Do They Matter?03:58 – Chapter 2: How Did the US Lose Control?07:40 – Chapter 3: Can the US Mine Its Own Rare Earths Again?10:26 – Chapter 4: Which US Refineries Are Being Built to Replace China?13:34 – Chapter 5: How Is This a National Security Risk?17:02 – Chapter 6: The Race for Alternative Supply Chains21:18 – Chapter 7: Critical Minerals and the Ukraine War25:10 – Outro: Why Rare Earths Determine Future Power#rareearths #criticalminerals #nationalsecurity #geopolitics #usvschina #supplychain #energytransition #defensesupplychain #technology #globalpower X: @thechokepointsTikTok: @thechokepointsRumble: @thechokepointsSpotify: @thechokepointsYouTube: @thechokepoints

** Welcome To The Choke Points **For decades, U.S. policy in Africa was driven by foreign aid, democracy promotion, and humanitarian engagement. That era is now ending. The new U.S. Africa strategy is based on private investment, critical minerals, energy security, infrastructure, and global power competition.In this video, we explain in simple terms how and why the United States is shifting its Africa policy away from ideology and toward hard economic and strategic interests. From cobalt and lithium to oil, gas, LNG, and nuclear energy, Africa is now at the center of the global supply chain war between the U.S., China, and Russia.This breakdown covers:Why the old Africa aid model failedHow private investment replaces foreign aidWhy infrastructure and energy decide powerHow trade-driven growth worksWhy Congo, Nigeria, Mozambique, Niger, and South Africa are now geopolitically criticalAnd how Africa is becoming the new global economic battlefieldThis is not charity anymore.

** Welcome To The Choke Points **The 2025 U.S. National Security Strategy quietly confirms one of the biggest geopolitical shifts of our lifetime: America is no longer behaving like a global superpower — it is repositioning itself as a selective great power in a multipolar world.In this episode, we break down how U.S. strategy has changed toward China, Russia, India, Europe, Africa, trade, money, energy, and chokepoints — all through the lens of the new world order that is now emerging.We analyze how:China moves from integration to permanent containmentRussia shifts from regime-change targeting to managed stabilityIndia emerges as a full great power pole in global strategyEurope is downgraded into a self-defensive economic blocAfrica becomes a resource and minerals battlefieldTrade, supply chains, and the dollar turn into weapons of warThis is not opinion geopolitics.

** Welcome To The Choke Points **The “Rule-Based International Order” is the most repeated phrase in Western foreign policy — but nobody explains what it actually means, who created it, or why half the world never accepted it. In this episode of The Choke Points, we break down the origins, architecture, and decline of the Western-designed system that shaped global politics for 80 years.We trace the story from Bretton Woods (1944) to BRICS+ (2024), from the UN Charter to the dollar system, from NATO to multipolar Eurasia, and reveal why the world in 2025 has quietly crossed into a new geopolitical phase.In this video, we cover:The true origins of the Rule-Based Order (1944–1949)Why IMF, World Bank, and WTO were built outside the UNHow the Cold War evolved into U.S. unipolar dominanceWhy the RBIO lost legitimacy after 2008The legal conflict: RBIO vs UN CharterSelective values: Iraq, Libya, Kosovo, SyriaHow the dollar became the enforcement tool of the systemWhy BRICS+, SCO, and the Global South are building a parallel world orderWhy 2025 marks the beginning of structural multipolarityIf you want to understand today’s chokepoints — sanctions, currency power, trade corridors, energy flows, and geopolitical leverage — you need to understand the system that created them.This is the full breakdown.⏱️ CHAPTERS00:00 – Introduction00:38 – Chapter 1: The Birth of the Rule-Based Order03:12 – Chapter 2: Why IMF & WTO Are Outside the UN06:20 – Chapter 3: How RBIO Evolved from 1945 to 202510:48 – Chapter 4: RBIO vs The UN Charter14:30 – Chapter 5: Are These Rules About Rights or Interests?17:45 – Chapter 6: The Dollar as the Enforcement Tool21:10 – Chapter 7: Global Policeman vs Regional Autonomy24:55 – Chapter 8: 2025 and the Rise of Structural Multipolarity#rulebasedorder #geopolitics #brics #globalpower #multipolarworld #internationalrelations #brettonwoods #uncharter #dollardominance #usdollar #globalshift #thechokepoints #brics #dedollarisation X: @thechokepointsTikTok: @thechokepointsRumble: @thechokepointsSpotify: @thechokepointsYouTube: @thechokepoints
