In this critical national security briefing, Dr. Jerome Corsi is joined by Lt. Col. (Ret.) Tony Shaffer, former U.S. Army intelligence officer, Newsmax contributor, and national security expert, to expose why a deep-water port in Chile has become a major strategic flashpoint in the escalating U.S.–China global power struggle.China is moving aggressively to secure control over a strategically placed Pacific port in South America, cutting shipping time to Asia by over two weeks and giving Beijing direct access to rare earth minerals, lithium, agriculture, and energy resources. Dr. Corsi and Tony Shaffer warn this move is not commercial — it is geopolitical warfare disguised as trade.  Key Topics Covered in This Broadcast• Why China’s Belt & Road Initiative is a direct challenge to U.S. hemispheric security• How this Chilean port could allow China to control Pacific shipping lanes• Why lithium, rare earths, food supply, and oil access are the true drivers of Beijing’s expansion• How China already controls over 160 ports worldwide• Why the U.S. must adopt an updated Monroe Doctrine–style strategy• How economic warfare is replacing military warfare• Why the South China Sea, Taiwan, Panama Canal, and Chile are all connected• How China’s dependence on foreign oil and food creates exploitable vulnerabilities• The role of tariffs, reshoring manufacturing, and supply-chain sovereignty• Why national security now includes trade routes, ports, elections, energy, and cyber-infrastructureTony Shaffer explains how China is using soft power, commercial buyouts, propaganda control, and political influence operations to achieve global dominance without firing a single shot. Dr. Corsi warns that if the United States fails to act quickly, China could permanently control the southern shipping gateway of the Western Hemisphere — reshaping global trade and weakening American leverage across Latin America.This episode connects the dots between ports, trade routes, rare earths, national sovereignty, economic warfare, and future military conflict in one of the most important geopolitical conversations of the year.
