China's Winning a War We Didn’t Know We Were In 🌐
Two weeks ago, President Donald Trump signed an executive order that sent shockwaves through international legal waters—literally. With one signature, Trump authorized American companies to start planning deep-sea mining operations not only in U.S. waters but in international waters, directly challenging decades of global agreements under the United Nations Law of the Sea.
In this video, Alex Johnson takes you on a gripping, story-driven journey beneath the surface of one of the most dramatic geopolitical power plays of the decade. From Cold War-era treaties and underwater colonialism to modern resource warfare and rare earth mineral rushes, this isn’t just about mining — it’s about who controls the last untouched frontier on Earth.
Why did the U.S. refuse to ratify a treaty it helped create? What does China’s growing dominance in deep-sea mining mean for the global balance of power? And what exactly is the International Seabed Authority—and why should you care?
Through captivating storytelling, historical twists, dark humor, and sharp insight, Alex unpacks:
The birth and breakdown of the Law of the Sea Treaty
How the U.S. cherry-picked ocean rules to suit its interests
Why Trump’s executive order might spark legal chaos and environmental disaster
The real stakes of the underwater gold rush: power, profit, and irreversible damage
Whether you're into international politics, environmental ethics, or just want to understand the deep drama lurking under the waves, this episode connects the dots in a way that’s simple, insightful, and a little bit dark.
👀 WATCH till the end for a sobering truth about our oceans and what we might lose in the chase for high-tech minerals.
