From Panama to Kenya to Indonesia, a growing number of developing countries are being pulled into the intensifying rivalry between China and the U.S. For these middle powers, the stakes are high as they must carefully navigate the tension to avoid provoking either side and risking serious consequences. But rather than accommodating the U.S. and China, developing countries should instead pursue a different agenda that puts their interests first. Jorge Heine, a former Chilean ambassador to China, South Africa, and India and now a research professor at Boston University, joins Eric & Cobus to talk about the latest edition of his book on active non-alignment that showcases the role of so-called "new neutrals."

In Episode 10 of Geopolitics with Ghost, host Gordon McCormick unpacks a geopolitical whirlwind. The show opens with Trump's Oval Office confrontation of South African President Cyril Ramaphosa over white farmer genocide and the ANC's corruption, including a bold video expose featuring Julius Malema and burial fields. Ghost dives deep into South Africa's post-apartheid politics, the Gupta brothers' corruption network, and Ramaphosa's entanglement in BRICS, Russia, and UAE relations. The episode also spotlights the latest nuclear developments, Trump's executive orders to revive domestic energy and a tense fifth round of U.S.-Iran negotiations in Rome, where uranium enrichment remains the red line. Ghost analyzes the dangerous escalation brewing between Israel and Iran, and Netanyahu's controversial appointment of a “messianic” new Shin Bet chief despite Supreme Court pushback. Add in rumors of drunken North Korean troops in Kursk, their rumored deployment to Burkina Faso, and escalating ICJ proceedings against Israel, and you've got one packed episode. Ghost ties it all together with sharp commentary, mind maps, and historical insight, questioning official narratives and highlighting the overlapping alliances driving the next phase of global realignment.

Slow Supply, Fast Demand: Uranium's New Reality

Interview withJohn Cash, CEO of Ur-Energy Inc.Andre Liebenberg, Executive Director & CEO of Yellow Cake PLCRecording date: 14th May 2025The global uranium market is undergoing a fundamental transformation as a confluence of energy transition goals, geopolitical tensions, and new technology drives demand higher. Nuclear power, long sidelined in policy debates, is regaining momentum due to its ability to deliver carbon-free baseload power in a world increasingly powered by data centers, AI infrastructure, and electrification.Key markets like China and the U.S. are leading the resurgence. China alone is building 26 reactors, with more approved, while the U.S. is extending the life and output of existing plants. Beyond these, countries in the UAE, Canada, and Europe are revisiting nuclear as part of their decarbonization strategy. This results in a dual demand dynamic—growth from new builds and rising fuel requirements from uprates and life extensions.A new frontier of demand is also emerging. Small Modular Reactors (SMRs), designed for remote or off-grid applications, are being positioned to serve industrial projects and data centers needing secure, emissions-free energy. This aligns with a broader shift from nuclear being seen purely as a clean energy solution to one that also supports energy sovereignty and national resilience.On the supply side, the uranium sector is constrained. Permitting delays, technical bottlenecks, labor shortages, and long project lead times mean even elevated prices haven't sparked a broad production rebound. Industry leaders like UR Energy CEO John Cash and Yellow Cake CEO Andre Liebenberg point to the lack of conversion and enrichment capacity in Western markets as an additional hurdle. This underscores the need for multi-year investment in the full fuel cycle.Geopolitics are also tightening Western supply chains. Kazakhstan, the world's top uranium producer, is increasingly shipping material eastward, not out of hostility but practicality. Still, the result is a growing bifurcation in global uranium flows that further limits Western procurement options.As a result, institutional investors are being encouraged to view uranium as a structurally revaluing asset class rather than a cyclical commodity. Exposure can be taken through physical holders like Yellow Cake, which tracks uranium prices directly, or producers like UR Energy, which is already generating long-term contract revenue.Risks remain—chiefly around timing, geopolitical disruption, and capital market dynamics. Yet, with demand outpacing supply and investment requirements high, the uranium market appears poised for sustained long-term opportunity.Sign up for Crux Investor: https://cruxinvestor.com

In this Special Edition of Geopolitics with Ghost, host Ghost returns from France on his birthday and the anniversary of the 2017 Sword Dance to deliver a sweeping, multilayered recap of Trump's monumental Middle East tour. He begins with a breakdown of Russia's Victory Day parade, Xi and Putin's alliance, and Burkina Faso's Traoré defying Western regime-change operations. But the heart of the episode lies in Ghost's granular analysis of Trump's stops in Saudi Arabia, Qatar, and the UAE, marking a new era of sovereign alliances and massive economic reorientation. Ghost details over $2 trillion in trade, energy, defense, and tech deals, including space partnerships, missile defense systems, rare earth mineral investments, and Trump Towers rising in Jeddah and Dubai. He connects threads between Trump, MBS, AI, Kanye's “Drome” city project, XAI investments, and symbolic cues like Trump's crosshatch tie. Also covered: Syria's quiet shift, Rubio's evolving stance, MBS's quiet power moves, and legacy narrative warfare from neocons like Lindsey Graham and Mark Levin. This is Ghost at his best, braiding geopolitics, comms, history, and deep symbolism into a compelling vision of what comes after the collapse of the old guard.

We explore how Viking warriors, Norse myths, and the baptism of Vladimir the Great in 988 C.E. are showing up in Putin's speeches and statues… and even in his justification for war. We'll ask: Is Russia the “true” heir of Western values? What's the story behind that giant Vladimir statue in Moscow? And why does ancient Kyiv play such a central role in today's geopolitical storm?We also turn our lens on the U.S.—trade wars, tariffs, Bitcoin, Christian nationalism, and wild predictions about our political future.Anyone who is thoughtful and just a little bit skeptical about the stories we hear will want to join us for this insightful, instructive exploration of history.    SHOW NOTESSupport the showBecome a Patron - Click on the link to learn how you can become a Patron of the show.

Where Are We in the Real Estate Cycle?

When it comes to understanding real estate cycles, few voices carry as much weight as Prof. Glenn Mueller, of Denver University. With over 40 years in the real estate industry and more than three decades of publishing the Market Cycle Monitor – used by institutional investors, developers, and academics alike – his data-driven framework is one of the most respected in commercial real estate.   In my conversation with Prof. Mueller, he shared where each property type stands today, what signals matter most, and how CRE professionals should be thinking about the road ahead.   Market Cycle: Where We Are Now Most Property Sectors Still in Growth Phase Despite headlines, the underlying fundamentals in many sectors are still solid. Industrial and retail are at or near peak occupancy, with retail benefiting from a decade of underbuilding. Hotels and some apartments are in expansion phases, while office remains in recession. Office: Structural Downshift, Not Just a Cycle Post-COVID remote work has fundamentally reshaped office demand. Class A in prime markets (e.g., NYC) is thriving; B/C assets and suburban offices are struggling. Adaptive reuse (e.g., office-to-resi conversions) is being explored but not yet widespread. Apartments: Strong Demand, But Misaligned Supply There's a 6.5 million unit housing shortfall, yet high-end, urban supply has overshot demand. Affordable and workforce housing remain undersupplied and present the most attractive opportunities. What CRE Pros Should Track Employment > GDP Mueller emphasizes employment growth as the single most reliable predictor of real estate demand. Despite economic noise, job growth remains positive, indicating continued underlying support for real estate fundamentals. Occupancy Drives Rent, Not Price Mueller's cycle model is based on physical occupancy, not asset pricing. Price movements are driven by capital flows, but true performance comes from rent and income growth – especially critical in today's higher-rate environment. Supply Trends by Sector Retail: Nationally at peak occupancy. Almost all new space is pre-leased. Over a decade of cautious development has created a tight market. Industrial: Slight oversupply after a COVID-era building spree but expected to correct by 2026. Multifamily: Select markets are overbuilt (e.g., downtown Class A), but suburbs and affordable housing show structural undersupply. Hotels: Bifurcated; leisure and conference travel rebounding; business travel still lagging. Capital Markets Insights Prices Are Down, and May Not Drop Further Higher interest rates have cooled pricing, but a wave of dry powder is still waiting. Institutional investors are sitting on capital and may deploy if prices stabilize rather than fall further. Cap Rates Are Rising – But Slowly Cap rates haven't adjusted upward as fast as borrowing costs, leading to negative leverage. Cash buyers dominate today's market. Defaults Without Distress? High-profile institutional owners (e.g., Brookfield) are handing back keys on offices; a sign of strategic exit, not systemic distress. Geopolitics and Macro Outlook Tariffs and Reshoring Could Reshape Demand Mueller sees Trump's industrial policy (tariffs, reshoring) as a potential long-term positive for U.S. real estate, especially industrial. Global Capital Still Engaged, But Cautious Foreign investors remain active, but currency shifts and geopolitical risk are reshaping cross-border flows. Bottom Line for CRE Sponsors Know Your Local Cycle – Even in national downturns, markets like Norfolk, VA, Honolulu, HI, and Riverside, CA, are peaking. Prioritize Income Stability – Focus on tenants who weathered COVID and economic shocks. Watch Employment, Not Noise – Labor market data remains the clearest leading indicator for demand. Cash is King (for now) – With interest rates high and spreads compressed, unlevered buyers have the advantage. Position for Affordability – Whether in retail or multifamily, demand is strongest at the middle and lower price tiers. I'm sure you'll find Glenn's insights as valuable as I did – and be sure to watch the episode as he guides us through slides of his latest report. As always, the goal is to help you make better-informed investment decisions by understanding where we are – and where we might be headed.   *** In this series, I cut through the noise to examine how shifting macroeconomic forces and rising geopolitical risk are reshaping real estate investing.   With insights from economists, academics, and seasoned professionals, this show helps investors respond to market uncertainty with clarity, discipline, and a focus on downside protection.    Subscribe to my free newsletter for timely updates, insights, and tools to help you navigate today's volatile real estate landscape.
