Geopolitics with Ghost Ep. 39: TikTok, Taiwan, and the Battle for Global Influence - September 16, 2025

Ghost unpacks the latest geopolitical shifts with his trademark candor, starting with Trump’s bold TikTok negotiations with China and the ripple effects for global trade. He examines how the assassination of Charlie Kirk reverberates through foreign policy narratives, with Trump framing it as a warlike act and warning of foreign hands at play. From Taiwan’s increasingly tense relationship with Beijing to NATO’s internal fractures and Russia’s financial maneuvers against the dollar, Ghost highlights the contested terrain of power in a multipolar world. He dives into India’s oil strategies, the fallout from Israel’s strike on Qatar, and Arab states’ growing calls for accountability, all while connecting the dots between domestic psyops, media manipulation, and international propaganda wars. Both sobering and sharp, this episode reveals how every local tragedy and political move ties into the wider struggle for sovereignty and global dominance.
