Geopolitics with Ghost Ep. 30: Africa’s Gold, Putin’s Strategy & China’s Debt Trap - August 12, 2025

Ghost takes listeners on a global tour of power plays and economic maneuvers, starting with the African Union’s push for financial independence through gold-backed currency, challenging Western monetary control. He examines Vladimir Putin’s calculated moves ahead of the Alaska summit with Trump, exploring how Russia positions itself as a diplomatic powerbroker while balancing alliances with China and the Global South.

The episode also dives into China’s Belt and Road debt-trap diplomacy, its tightening grip on African infrastructure, and how resource-rich nations are pushing back. From shifting alliances in the Middle East to the erosion of U.S. influence in the developing world, Ghost connects the dots on how economic sovereignty, energy politics, and strategic negotiations are redrawing the global map.
