Trump’s Iran war puts enormous pressure on America’s allies. South Korea is caught directly in the middle.In this episode, Carl Zha joins Jamarl Thomas to break down the growing pressure on South Korea to support the U.S. military operation around the Strait of Hormuz, despite growing public opposition.Carl explains why South Korea has limited room to resist Washington. This includes the U.S. military presence on the peninsula and South Korea’s economic dependence on American markets.The bigger question is whether America’s alliance system begins to crack under the pressure of wars that its allies did not choose.The conversation turns to the extreme rhetoric out of Washington: there are calls for the U.S. to consider military strikes against Chinese data centers if China gets to AGI first.Carl argues that this reveals a fundamental difference between American and Chinese approaches to AI. While Washington increasingly views AI through a military and geopolitical lens, China is focuses on practical applications such as autonomous vehicles, automated ports, mining and manufacturing.The discussion examines Venezuela’s oil, China’s previous experience in Iraq and Libya, and why Beijing may wait out Washington rather than to confront it directly.Other major topics include:🇰🇷 South Korea and the Strait of Hormuz🇺🇸 Why Washington pressures its allies to join the Iran conflict🇮🇷 Iran’s warning to countries that participate in the war🤖 Why Washington is obsessed with China’s AI development🇨🇳 China’s practical approach to AI vs. America’s military focus🛢️ Venezuela’s oil and the interests of U.S. oil companies🇨🇳 Why China could return to Venezuelan oil markets⛽ China’s massive strategic oil reserves and decline of imports📈 Chinese EVs and solar panels gain global market share🇦🇷 Argentina, beef exports and China’s economic leverage🇮🇩 How the Iran conflict affects Indonesia and Southeast Asia💵 The threat of the dollar system as geopolitical leverage🌏 China’s increased trade with the rest of the world, despite U.S. sanctions🇨🇳🇺🇸 The upcoming Trump–Xi confrontation and Washington’s negotiation strategy► Join UK Column Live every Monday, Wednesday and Friday at 1pm UK time or watch previous live recordings here► [UK Column Website] Explore all our written and video content on the official UK Column website► [Support UK Column] Please donate to support our independent journalism & investigative journalism► [UK Column YouTube] Please subscribe to the UK Column News YouTube channel for more alternative news and independent newsFollow #UKColumn on:► X► Telegram► Facebook► Instagram
