In this episode of The Jay Martin Show, Dr. Pascal Lottaz explores rising global tensions surrounding Taiwan, BRICS, and shifting power dynamics. He explains Taiwan's unresolved conflict as a legacy of the Chinese Civil War, drawing parallels to North and South Korea, and describes how foreign influence often fuels local conflicts. Lottaz highlights BRICS as a non-Western alternative shaping global relations but notes its challenges with internal cohesion.
