America’s Global Divorce: The Resource Wars Have Already Begun

EDITOR'S NOTES

What you’re witnessing isn’t “de-globalization”—it’s economic warfare by another name. The polite fiction of free trade is collapsing, and in its place, a ruthless scramble is underway to lock down the raw inputs of power: lithium, uranium, rare earths, and server-grade electricity. The U.S. isn’t retreating from the global stage—it’s shifting tactics. The era of diplomacy through trade is over. What’s emerging is a darker, more cutthroat game. And the American people? They’re the last to know.

The Age of Free Trade Is Over—and the Fight for Resources Has Begun

From the panic rooms of the Eccles Building to the boardrooms of Beijing, the illusion of global harmony is unraveling faster than a cheap Chinese battery. We’re not just rolling back trade deals—we’re dismantling the entire post-WWII economic order, brick by brick.

The last time America slammed the brakes on globalization this hard, it was 1930. But back then, we had industry. We had oil, coal, steel, and men who could work a lathe. Today? We’ve got TikTok and a critical mineral shortfall.

Tariffs Are the Opening Salvo of a Global Economic War

Long before Trump reignited his America First agenda in 2025, countries had already begun circling the wagons. China’s been flooding global markets with subsidized steel and electric vehicles, not to compete—but to collapse. That’s not capitalism. It’s economic warfare dressed up as trade.

Washington’s answer? Tariffs at levels we haven’t seen since 1946. Not because they want to revive domestic industry—but because they know the music’s stopping, and they’re grabbing chairs.

AI Isn’t the Future—It’s the Battlefield

This isn’t the 1930s. This is the AI age. And AI doesn’t run on ideology—it runs on power. Literal power. Data centers need electricity, and lots of it. That means nuclear. Nuclear needs uranium. And the U.S.? We're fresh out.

Then there’s lithium. Cobalt. Tantalum. These aren’t niche inputs—they’re the new oil. And they’re not in Kansas. They’re buried in Africa, South America, and Asia—regions dominated by instability, corruption, or Chinese influence.

The New Cold War: Mining Deals and Mineral Puppetry

So what’s the D.C. strategy? Manufacturing? Hardly. It's geopolitical chess. It’s covert visits and quiet diplomacy. It’s land grabs hidden behind buzzwords like “strategic partnership.”

Central Asia has become ground zero in this global resource war. Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan—places most Americans couldn’t find on a map—are now targets of U.S. influence operations, all under the banner of economic cooperation. Don’t believe the press releases. It’s about what’s underground, not above it.

Take Congresswoman Carol Miller’s unannounced visit to the region. No coverage. No fanfare. Just a few vague statements and photo ops. Translation? We’re cutting deals for mining rights, not spreading democracy.

Trump’s Offer from the Congo Could Change the Game

Meanwhile, in Africa, the Democratic Republic of the Congo—sitting on $24 trillion worth of untapped minerals—is shifting its alliances. According to The Gateway Pundit, the DRC’s president extended an offer to Trump: help stabilize the region, and in return, gain access to the mineral motherlode.

That’s not diplomacy. That’s 21st-century mercantilism. Governments acting like corporations, auctioning access to resources in exchange for security guarantees and political leverage.

This Isn’t “De-Globalization.” It’s a Global Power Reset.

Don’t fall for the sanitized headlines. This isn’t a retreat from globalization—it’s a hostile takeover of the world’s resource map. The nation-state is becoming a brand. Sovereignty is for sale. And the global order is reshaping itself not through peace treaties, but through rare earth contracts and data-center access.

We are entering an era where the new global reserve currency won’t be the dollar—it’ll be control over the raw inputs of intelligence, computation, and energy. And in this game, the winner isn’t the country with the biggest economy. It’s the one with the best grip on the world’s rarest assets.

Protect Yourself Before the Next Deal is Signed Without You

While D.C. cuts quiet deals in Central Asia and Wall Street bets on semiconductors and server farms, Main Street is being left behind—again. The next phase of the global reset will be swift, digital, and ruthless.

If your wealth isn’t protected, you’re exposed.
