** Welcome To The Choke Points **The “Rule-Based International Order” is the most repeated phrase in Western foreign policy — but nobody explains what it actually means, who created it, or why half the world never accepted it. In this episode of The Choke Points, we break down the origins, architecture, and decline of the Western-designed system that shaped global politics for 80 years.We trace the story from Bretton Woods (1944) to BRICS+ (2024), from the UN Charter to the dollar system, from NATO to multipolar Eurasia, and reveal why the world in 2025 has quietly crossed into a new geopolitical phase.In this video, we cover:The true origins of the Rule-Based Order (1944–1949)Why IMF, World Bank, and WTO were built outside the UNHow the Cold War evolved into U.S. unipolar dominanceWhy the RBIO lost legitimacy after 2008The legal conflict: RBIO vs UN CharterSelective values: Iraq, Libya, Kosovo, SyriaHow the dollar became the enforcement tool of the systemWhy BRICS+, SCO, and the Global South are building a parallel world orderWhy 2025 marks the beginning of structural multipolarityIf you want to understand today’s chokepoints — sanctions, currency power, trade corridors, energy flows, and geopolitical leverage — you need to understand the system that created them.This is the full breakdown.⏱️ CHAPTERS00:00 – Introduction00:38 – Chapter 1: The Birth of the Rule-Based Order03:12 – Chapter 2: Why IMF & WTO Are Outside the UN06:20 – Chapter 3: How RBIO Evolved from 1945 to 202510:48 – Chapter 4: RBIO vs The UN Charter14:30 – Chapter 5: Are These Rules About Rights or Interests?17:45 – Chapter 6: The Dollar as the Enforcement Tool21:10 – Chapter 7: Global Policeman vs Regional Autonomy24:55 – Chapter 8: 2025 and the Rise of Structural Multipolarity#rulebasedorder #geopolitics #brics #globalpower #multipolarworld #internationalrelations #brettonwoods #uncharter #dollardominance #usdollar #globalshift #thechokepoints #brics #dedollarisation X: @thechokepointsTikTok: @thechokepointsRumble: @thechokepointsSpotify: @thechokepointsYouTube: @thechokepoints
