A most interesting point made at the end of the video is that the US looks like it's prepared to put sanctions on major countries taking Russian oil, including India, China and Brazil, which will turn them all hostile. If relations really do go sour it will help dismantle the globalist system.
With India and China being allied to Russia, and hostile to the USA, there won't be mass migration of their citizens into the US, or perhaps, other (anti-Russian) Western countries.

When it comes to stopping the open borders globalism in Europe, coming from North Africa and the Middle East, something might happen via economic collapse, with Martial Law imposed - which may also bring in right leaning Nationalist political parties.

All these developments can be rapidly brought about via US foreign and economic policy. The key thing is to prevent the globalists, operating in their jurisdictions, from imposing left wing authoritarian Governments. In such a messy situation Russia will be fine since it is already isolated, and the other major countries would simply be disconnected, or blocked, when it comes to globalist trade and mass migration. These BRICS countries can certainly trade among themselves, but none of them are operating in the disastrous way that Western countries have, through policies of deindustrialisation and mass migration. 

The adjustment period would certainly be chaotic but Western countries do have the capability to become largely self sufficient once again, and not so dependent on globalist trade (that is only a recent development). Whether intentional or not, the push towards hostility on the global stage may bring down the present globalist structure.
