Trump FREAKS OUT as Carney UNLEASHES New Energy Alliance with Japan
What if a secret pact between friendly nations could secretly trigger a global power shift? And no one knew. In a world where politics and energy collide, the stakes have never been higher. 2024 saw global military spending reach an unprecedented $2.72 trillion, the highest on record, a sign that nations everywhere are gearing up. In this video, we’ll break down 10 explosive developments of 2025 that signal the world is on the brink of a new era of conflict and competition. From deep water alliances to covert arms races. But before we dive into these tense confrontations, welcome to our channel, your inside source for the stories mainstream media won’t tell. Hit subscribe and ring the bell so you never miss an update. We have a lot to cover and trust us, you’ll want front row seats. 10. Canada’s energy superpower, Pivot. The first shock on our countdown may surprise you. Canada, long seen as a peaceful neighbor, is quietly realigning itself. Since assuming office in March 2025, Prime Minister Mark Carney has championed an energy superpower agenda. He has vowed to fasttrack pipelines, LNG terminals, and new oil projects to reduce reliance on imports. Canada has even scrapped its carbon tax to spur more drilling, a major shift from the previous government’s climate policies. Meanwhile, Ottawa has opened talks with Japan on key energy industries. In mid 2025, the two leaders agreed to cooperate on liqufied natural gas, small modular reactors, critical minerals, and storage batteries. In practical terms, Canada’s LNG export project in British Columbia, LNG Canada, just secured a Japanese customer. Mitsubishi will buy 15% of its output, enough to heat millions of Japanese homes. Japan’s government has praised Canada’s new role as an energy supplier, calling the pipeline project critical for Tokyo’s energy security. All this means Canada is pivoting away from its traditional economic orbit. One insider notes, the stakes are much higher for Carney than they are for Trump. He’s been very deliberate and very careful in balancing domestic pressures, signaling that Ottawa has big plans. The numbers bear out Canada’s shift. Carney’s government plans massive spending on resource projects, and Canada now exports more energy to Asia than ever before. For example, the LNG Canada plant, a 30 plus billion investment, is set to deliver roughly 2.1 million tons per year to Japan, about a quarter of Japan’s recent growth in gas demand. In 2024, Canada remained North America’s largest net energy exporter, and now it is courting Asian markets as never before. This reorientation also eases China into the picture. Canada’s oil sands have long fed China’s appetite, and now a portion of the liquid natural gas from before Christ will sail directly to Asian ports, bypassing US markets. Observers note that with Carney steering trade missions to Tokyo and Beijing, Canada is quietly diversifying its alliances. Experts are watching closely. Economists and environmental groups are alarmed by the break neck pace of new oil projects. Nine. China’s growing Armada tensions are flaring in Asia’s waters. Over the past year, China’s military has dramatically ramped up presence and drills. Beijing’s 2024 military budget grew to about $314 billion, making it the world’s second largest spender. And recent reports indicate a continued increase. In the South China Sea and around Taiwan, Chinese warships and fighter jets have been on near constant patrol. In August 2025, a spokesperson confirmed the PLA Navy held routine exercises in the South China Sea. Even as Philippines and India warships held joint drills in the same waters, a first of its kind, this contest of naval might threatens international shipping lanes and peace. Simultaneously, satellite and media footage show China’s newest aircraft carrier, the Fujian, conducting catapult flight trials and expected to be fully operational by year’s end. If true, China will soon have another flattop capable of projecting power well into the Pacific. The data is sobering. In 2024, China’s military expenditure rose year on year and Asia-Pacific nations collectively hit record spending. Even US defense officials are on high alert. At a conference, US Defense Secretary Pete Hgsith warned that the threat of China using force on Taiwan is imminent, citing the PLA’s intensifying air and naval operations around the island. Analysts note that China has been practicing for Taiwan blockade scenarios in war games with regional partners like Singapore. These developments fuel fears that any spark could lead to a broader conflict. Global experts are sounding the alarm. Hans Christensen of FL notes that China is upgrading every leg of its nuclear triad and deploying hypersonic missiles. Many allied intelligence chiefs consider Taiwan the top flash point. One Pentagon official said preparing for contingency is routine, but others stress it’s precisely that readiness which raises stakes. Drills can become self-fulfilling prophecies. Eight. Russia war economics. Russia already locked in a grinding war in Ukraine shows no signs of slowing. Moscow’s official figures are opaque, but public analyses suggest Russia is pouring billions more into defense. In 2024, Russian military spending leapt by 38% to roughly 149 billion, about 7.1% of its GDP. For 2025, Cypri estimates Russia’s budget contains about 15.5 trillion rubles for defense, another 3.4% increase over last year. In other words, despite deep economic sanctions and war fatigue, Russia is dedicating an ever growing share of its economy to the fight. Putin has mobilized reserves and new army divisions have been formed and equipped. The Kremlin also continues to upgrade its strategic forces, fielding more hypersonics and modern tanks. Even as battles rage in Ukraine, the human and material costs of this war are staggering. Ukraine has become one of the world’s biggest military spenders, eighth in 2024 at $64.7 billion, 34% of GDP. But Russia still dwarfs its numbers relative to its economy. Our countdown aside, the Russia Ukraine conflict itself is the backdrop for nearly everything on this list. Western leaders warned Russia would pay dearly for the invasion. Yet, Russia simply accepted increased internal taxes and reallocated its budget. International observers note that Russia’s war economy is now heavily financed by state accounts. Some experts estimate vast expenditures off budget for occupied territories and social subsidies to military families. Western officials and analysts call Russia a clear and present threat. NATO has just boosted forces in Eastern Europe. Military spending among Eastern European nations jumped 24% to a record 221 billion dollars, mostly countering Russia’s moves. NATO Secretary Stolenberg regularly reminds members that Ukraine’s fight is now our fight, implying readiness for any Moscow aggression beyond its border. Yet, Russia’s leadership has shown no reluctance. Kremlin voices mock NATO warnings and claim encirclement and occasional saber rattling about nuclear defense persists. Seven. North Korea. Kim’s nuclear gambit. In East Asia, North Korea remains perhaps the most unpredictable player. Kim Jong-un has spent years cultivating a massive nuclear arsenal, reportedly around 50 warheads with material for many more. Throughout 2024 and into 2025, Pyongyang continued frequent missile tests from short-range rockets to new intercontinental ballistic missiles, intermediate range ballistic missiles, and possibly hypersonic designs. Just recently, intelligence chiefs revealed Kim is pursuing stronger strategic and conventional capabilities that can target US forces and allies to defend his regime. In fact, US analysts say North Korea is poised to conduct another nuclear test on short notice if it chooses. A chilling reminder that Kim’s nuclear program is alive and ready. North Korea’s resources are limited, but its militarism is on full display. An estimated 5% of North Korea’s tiny GDP goes into its armed forces, one of the highest military burdens globally. The regime now fields more than a million soldiers, thousands of artillery tubes within range of Seoul, and a growing number of mobile launchers for its nuclear tipped missiles. Over the past year, Pyongyang held large-scale drills simulating invasion scenarios of South Korea, complete with mass tactical nuclear forces in roleplay. At the same time, Kim quietly deepened ties with Russia, sending troops to train alongside the Russian army and exchanging advanced missiles. Moves that analysts say will help him both deter South Korea and possibly leverage against China if needed. Six, India Pakistan nuclear brinksmanship. South Asia has been on a knife’s edge. Historically, two nuclear armed rivals, India and Pakistan, flirted with catastrophe again in mid 2025. In May 2025, a sudden conflict broke out along the Kashmir line of control. What began as crossber shelling rapidly escalated. Pakistan deployed its new Chinese supplied J10C vigorous dragon fighters, shooting down multiple Indian jets, including expensive Rafale warplanes. India countered with its own aircraft and also targeted militant camps inside Pakistan. For nearly a week, the two sides were brinkmanship close to allout nuclear war. The Belelfer Center reported that this May conflict pushed the two nuclear armed states to the brink of a full-blown war. In Europe, heads of state secretly held crisis talks. Even the US and China each quietly urged their allies to stand down. This confrontation was not unforeseeable. Both nations have heavily armed themselves in recent years. India’s military budget is the world’s third largest after the US and China at about $85 billion with new assets ranging from ballistic missiles to aircraft carriers. Pakistan’s budget is smaller, around 15 to20 billion, but now includes tens of Chinese missile batteries and a nuclear stockpile of its own. Neither side trusts the other after years of skirmishes. Five. Iran’s nuclear gamble. The Middle East remains a tinderbox. Iran, already a regional heavyweight, is edging closer to nuclear capability and testing the response of its neighbors and foes. After years of sanctions and back channel talks, Thran has preserved large amounts of enriched uranium. In fact, University of Virginia analyst Steven Mull reported that Iran had about 400 kg of 60% enriched uranium before recent strikes, only a notch below the approximately 90% needed for a bomb. Western air strikes, dubbed Operation Midnight Hammer, damaged some Iranian facilities in mid 2025, but experts caution that you can’t bomb an idea. Mole notes Iran’s program was set up for such an event. The regime had moved key materials and can rebuild. Iranian diplomats have insisted any attack will strengthen hardliners and accelerate their plans. Already Iran has tangible power. It controls multiple proxy militias in Iraq, Syria, and Yemen, and supplies weapons to Hezbollah in Lebanon and Hamas in Gaza. In October 2023, Iran itself launched a barrage of missiles at a US base in Qatar. An unprecedented direct move that nonetheless caused no casualties due to advanced warning. Supreme Leader Kam insists that Iran’s oil must keep flowing. Threats to close the straight of Hormuz fell flat due to Iran’s own dependence on the route. But Iran’s nuclear question is unresolved. Without diplomatic engagement, Mole warns voices in Thran pushing for an actual nuclear weapon will grow louder. The stats paint a grim picture. CRI’s 2025 yearbook notes that global nuclear arsenals stopped shrinking and are once again growing. Nearly all nine nuclear armed states are modernizing and Iran is broadly assumed to be only months away from a breakout if it chooses. Iran has resisted UN inspectors in some sites and recently reported progress on advanced centrifuges. Four, United States full throttle arsenal. You might think the world’s top military is already on hyperdrive, and you’d be right. The United States leads global defense spending by a mile. In 2024, the US poured nearly $1 trillion into its military budget. $997 billion to be exact, which is 3.2 times more than China, and about 37% of all world military spending. This massive investment translates into new aircraft carriers, stealth jets, hypersonic missiles, space forces, and more. The Department of Defense is already ramping up production of F-35 fighters, strategic bombers, and guided missile submarines. Under President Trump’s leadership in 2025, the US has also been flexing its muscles in surprising ways. Ironically, even as Trump blasts allies, he’s forging new deals. In July 2025, Trump announced a purported US Japan LNG joint venture to ship Alaskan gas to Tokyo, directly countering Canada’s deals. This move was spun as boosting American energy exports. But it underscores one thing. Trump has shown he will use military and economic might in tandem. US forces have held large-scale war games with Japan, Australia, and India in the Pacific this year, signaling readiness for conflict. Meanwhile, even domestic policy gets militarized. Trump has repeatedly vowed to rebuild the entire military and has issued executive orders to accelerate weapons production. On the expert front, US officials often highlight both strengths and concerns. NATO’s Secretary General and retired General Yens Stolenberg stated at a press conference that with global tensions rising, defense spending must remain high. A comment aimed at Congress. Many generals emphasize America’s technological edge, but some worry about overextension. Three, Japan surging defense for an uncertain future. No longer a purely pacifist power, Japan is rapidly militarizing. After decades of post-war constraints, Tokyo has enacted laws this year allowing its self-defense forces to work closely with allies and to mobilize more freely. In July 2025, Japan began deploying a full fleet of 1752 Osprey tiltrotors to a new base in the southwest. These aircraft, which can quickly move troops across islands, are a clear message. Japan is shoring up its island defenses as China’s maritime claims grow bolder. As Defense Minister Nakatani stated, “The security environment surrounding Japan has been increasingly severe, and it is our pressing task to strengthen our island defense capabilities.” Japan has also announced plans to increase defense spending each year above the long-standing 1% of GDP guideline, pouring billions into missile defenses, submarines, and integrated air defense networks. Tokyo’s new defense white paper explicitly cites threats from North Korea, China, and even Russia. Statistically, the shift is dramatic. For the first time since World War II, Japan’s defense budget is on track to exceed 7 trillion yen, about $50 billion, by 2026, its highest ever. Combined with Australia and South Korea, the regional defense spenders are nearing China’s budget in absolute terms. Two, Europe and NATO. Back to the future of defense. After years of relative peace, Europe is bolstering its armies. The war in Ukraine has shaken the continent’s security bedrock. In 2024, European countries as a whole increased military spending by 17% to 693 billion, the highest level since the end of the Cold War. This surge was nearly unanimous. Every European nation except tiny Malta raised its budget. NATO allies specifically spent $1.5 bill600 million combined, over 55% of global military expenditure, and 18 of the 32 NATO members now meet or exceed the alliance’s 2% GDP defense target. These numbers underscore a historic mindset shift. Long criticized by President Trump for free writing, European states are now on war footing. Germany doubled its defense procurement in 2025. Sweden will spend 1.5% of GDP and even traditionally neutral countries like Finland and Sweden have fully integrated into NATO. This revitalization is rooted in clear threats. Russia’s invasion demonstrated that no European leader can ignore military readiness. New rapid reaction brigades have been formed. Missiles are being prepositioned in the Baltics, and air patrols in the Baltic and Black seas have intensified. For example, the German military now conducts frequent joint drills with French, Polish, and American units, effectively rehearsing continental defense. British defense leaders warn they are prepared to fight on two continents if needed, Ukraine, plus elsewhere. The European Union as a body has even agreed to share missile defense radars and develop a joint procurement strategy. The data reflects urgency. In 2024, Eastern Europe alone spent 24% more on the military, driven by Ukraine’s needs and Baltic fears. Overall, NATO members reported an 8.9% jump in spending from 2023, indicating a declarations to do much more turned into reality. Key voices reinforce the severity. NATO Secretary General Yens Stolenberg has repeatedly stated that Europe is no longer safe from war and that spending cuts are off the table. Former US General McMaster has called Europe’s arms buildup a necessary lesson learned. Even non-military experts are united. EU Commission President Ursula Vunder Lion publicly said that any peace deal for Ukraine must guarantee permanent verifiable peace or the EU will continue rebuilding its forces. In 2025 alone, think tanks like SIP and IIS published reports noting that Europe’s military expenditure is now well beyond cold war norms. The political consensus is striking. Across left and right in Europe, parties agree that the era of relying on American shield is fading. Each nation must defend itself. One, Saudi Arabia’s pivot to China. Holding the top spot on our list is a twist few expected. Saudi Arabia, long a staunch US ally, is quietly realigning with China, but through energy and technology rather than tanks. Under Crown Prince Muhammad bin Salman’s vision 2030, Riyad has invested heavily in renewable energy and formed deep partnerships with Chinese state firms. In 2024 to 2025, Saudi Arabia inked major deals with China’s wind and solar companies to help build a 130 gawatt renewable grid by 2030, a quarter of its peak oil production capacity. On paper, this sounds like a green future, but geopolitically it marks a shift in alliances. As the Center on Global Energy Policy notes, Saudi Arabia’s new alignment with China on renewable energy poses a major strategic challenge to the United States, which has long been a key strategic partner. In essence, the kingdom’s energy future is increasingly intertwined with Beijing. The data is striking. Saudi oil exports to the US are down, while Chinese investments in Aramco and Saudi prochemicals have risen. China has become Saudi’s largest customer and critical technology supplier. For example, Chinese companies are building a huge solar farm in Riyad and supplying wind turbines for projects in Nom. These deals go beyond economics. They have security dimensions. Historically, US security asurances underpinned Saudi stability. Now, with China providing funding and high-end tech like nuclear reactors and electric grid hardware, Saudi Arabia is hedging its bets.
Former Bank of England Governor Mark Carney has just announced a groundbreaking energy alliance with Japan, shaking global markets and sparking new tensions with the United States. As Donald Trump reacts with panic, experts warn this deal could reshape the US economy, trade war dynamics, and the auto industry in 2025. Will this new partnership between Japan and Canada trigger a deeper global trade crisis? Watch as we break down the economic, political, and international implications.

Trump the orange fart gas.
The days of everything going through the USSA are over. Cut out the middleman πππβ€οΈπ¨π¦
If you can't tell the difference between BC and B.C. then don't use AI as the voice of your video. You lost your credibility when you said, "lng gas from before Christ" instead of from British Columbia, but at least you gave me a laugh.
