Outcome #2: Commodity Supply Disruption
The end of the unipolar world order means transitioning to a multipolar global trade regime—with serious implications for commodities.
As I see it, there will be two main geopolitical blocks.
First, there are the countries part of or allied with the West. I’m reluctant to call this block “the West” because the people who control it have values antithetical to Western Civilization.
The other block consists of Russia, China, Iran, and other countries favorable to a multipolar world order.
Let’s call them the BRICS+, which stands for Brazil, Russia, India, China, South Africa, and other interested countries.
Algeria, Argentina, Bahrain, Bangladesh, Belarus, Egypt, Indonesia, Iran, Mexico, Nigeria, Pakistan, Saudi Arabia, Sudan, Syria, Tunisia, Turkey, the UAE, Venezuela, Zimbabwe, and numerous others have expressed interest in membership of BRICS.
BRICS+ is not a perfect label, but it’s a decent representation of the countries favorable to the multipolar world order.
While there already is friction in free trade — sanctions, tariffs, export bans, nationalizations, embargoes, strategic competition, etc. — between NATO/West and BRICS+, I expect it to grow substantially as the multipolar world order emerges.
That will have serious consequences for commodities, which BRICS+ dominates.
As tensions between NATO & Friends and BRICS+ continue to rise, I expect it to disrupt commodity trade between the two further.
Supply disruptions mean higher prices. That’s an outcome I think we can bet on.
I expect countries in both geopolitical blocks will increasingly focus on securing critical commodities and ensuring access to stable supplies.
Unfortunately, most people have no idea what really happens when the world order changes, let alone how to prepare…
The coming crisis will be much worse, much longer, and very different than what we’ve seen since World War II.
Countless millions throughout history were wiped out financially — or worse — as the world order changed because they failed to see the correct Big Picture and take appropriate action.
Don’t be one of them.
