    The American Empire is Collapsing Faster than Anyone Thinks | Silk and Steel

    In this explosive conversation, Carl Zha joins Rasheed to examine the growing conflict involving Iran, the United States, and Israel, while exploring the larger geopolitical struggle between Washington, Beijing, and the emerging multipolar world. They discuss the alleged Trump-Netanyahu fallout, the ongoing Iran conflict, China's energy security strategy, the decline of U.S. economic dominance, America's mounting debt crisis, the AI investment bubble, de-dollarization, and why many nations are reducing their dependence on the U.S. financial system. Carl argues that the current crisis exposes deeper structural problems within the American political and economic system while highlighting how China has spent decades preparing for a world defined by energy competition, technological rivalry, and shifting global power. Topics Covered • Trump and Netanyahu's alleged political split • The Iran conflict and the Strait of Hormuz • China's strategic oil reserves and energy independence • Why China may be less vulnerable to sanctions than expected • The future of the U.S. dollar and Treasury bonds • De-dollarization and China's digital yuan • Africa's growing relationship with China • The AI bubble and America's economic future • Military spending and the U.S. political system • Is the American Empire entering irreversible decline? ► Join UK Column Live every Monday, Wednesday and Friday at 1pm UK time or watch previous live recordings here: https://bit.ly/UKColumn_Live ► [UK Column Website] Explore all our written and video content on the official UK Column website: https://www.ukcolumn.org/ ► [Support UK Column] Please donate to support our independent journalism & investigative journalism: https://support.ukcolumn.org/ ► [UK Column YouTube] Please subscribe to the UK Column News YouTube channel for more alternative news and independent news: https://bit.ly/ukcolumnofficial Follow #UKColumn on: ► X: https://x.com/ukcolumn ► Telegram: https://t.me/ukcolumn ► Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/UKColumnExtracts ► Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/uk_column_news

    Everything They Told You About China Is Falling Apart | Silk and Steel

    In Episode 4 of Carl Zha and Daniel Dumbrill's weekly geopolitical discussion, the conversation ranges from Xinjiang and Western media narratives to Chinese EVs, AI data centres, U.S.-China competition, Japan, travel, and the growing disconnect between mainstream reporting and what people experience firsthand. The discussion begins with reactions to a controversial Hudson Institute clip suggesting that criticism of Israel serves as a distraction from Xinjiang. Carl and Daniel examine the argument, discuss how narratives surrounding Xinjiang have evolved, and explore why many younger people are increasingly sceptical of establishment messaging. The conversation then turns to foreign influence accusations, the use of FARA legislation, and whether such laws are being applied consistently. The hosts compare concerns about alleged Chinese influence with lobbying and political financing that receive far less scrutiny. A major segment focuses on Xinjiang itself, including economic development, infrastructure investment, tourism growth, cotton production, and firsthand travel experiences. Carl and Daniel discuss why sanctions and restrictions aimed at Xinjiang may ultimately harm the very people they claim to help. The discussion shifts to China's massive infrastructure projects, from tunnels through the Tianshan Mountains to transportation networks connecting remote regions. They compare China's long-term development approach with the short-term financial incentives common in Western economies. Chinese electric vehicles become another major topic. The hosts discuss growing interest in Chinese EVs, fears surrounding Chinese automotive technology, battery innovation, safety concerns, and why protectionist policies are being used to shield Western automakers from competition. Other topics include: • The rise of Chinese EV brands and global competition • AI data centers and political backlash in the United States • Claims that China is behind domestic American protests • Why anti-China narratives continue to dominate public discourse • Noah Smith and the broader "China collapse" prediction industry • China's global image versus lived reality • Viral travel content from China, including Lex Fridman's hitchhiking journey • Tourism, visa policies, and changing perceptions of China • Japan, social conformity, and reactions to Chinese tourists • U.S.-China rivalry and military rhetoric in Asia • Cryptocurrency seizures and global financial power • Why so many China predictions have failed over the past two decades Throughout the episode, Carl and Daniel argue that more people are discovering China through direct experience rather than media narratives, creating a growing gap between perception and reality ► Join UK Column Live every Monday, Wednesday and Friday at 1pm UK time or watch previous live recordings here: https://bit.ly/UKColumn_Live ► [UK Column Website] Explore all our written and video content on the official UK Column website: https://www.ukcolumn.org/ ► [Support UK Column] Please donate to support our independent journalism & investigative journalism: https://support.ukcolumn.org/ ► [UK Column YouTube] Please subscribe to the UK Column News YouTube channel for more alternative news and independent news: https://bit.ly/ukcolumnofficial Follow #UKColumn on: ► X: https://x.com/ukcolumn ► Telegram: https://t.me/ukcolumn ► Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/UKColumnExtracts ► Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/uk_column_news

    World War 3 Has Begun | Jerm Warfare

    James Patrick shares what he's learnt from recent trips to Utah and the cultural dynamics of the Mormon community, and why they are ahead of the curve. He then moves on to his new documentary World War 3. The conversation shifts to geopolitics, particularly the Ukraine conflict and the risk of a new world war. Patrick looks at how financial powers shape global conflicts and digs into the tricky US–Israel relationship. He covers both its historical roots and the current tensions. He also discusses the situations in Iran and Ukraine as he highlights the grim realities of war and the widening gap between political leaders and ordinary people. He argues that wars are often dragged out for political and financial gain and he calls on citizens to get involved in politics if they want real change. https://bigpicture.watch ► Join UK Column Live every Monday, Wednesday and Friday at 1pm UK time or watch previous live recordings here: https://bit.ly/UKColumn_Live ► [UK Column Website] Explore all our written and video content on the official UK Column website: https://www.ukcolumn.org/ ► [Support UK Column] Please donate to support our independent journalism & investigative journalism: https://support.ukcolumn.org/ ► [UK Column YouTube] Please subscribe to the UK Column News YouTube channel for more alternative news and independent news: https://bit.ly/ukcolumnofficial Follow #UKColumn on: ► X: https://x.com/ukcolumn ► Telegram: https://t.me/ukcolumn ► Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/UKColumnExtracts ► Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/uk_column_news
