  1. Hmmmmm Sound like listening to something like South Korean politics.

  2. It's a sort of Jacksonian democracy moment, I believe. It's a time of transition. The US is going through economic and social changes while facing external threats from continental Asia(or Eurasia). How could Americans react to it? I'm just watching it beyond the Pacific.

  3. American army base in South Korea is likely to remain because Camp Humphreys is not in South Korea to defend Seoul from Pyongyang's invasion. Today's location of American military bases in South Korea looks like it is defending South Korea from a potential Chinese amphibious attack on its western shore. But the American military presence in South Korea now has more things to do with politics rather than military strategy. Without American boots on the ground, Seoul can trust the American alliance treaty obligation. Koreans don't trust Americans due to their historical experience with the US (and most Americans don't know it). If they find they cannot trust American security assurance anymore, they will go to nuke, just as their North Korean cousin has done. It would be the beginning of the end for the NTP system.

  4. I always want to see Peter proved to be wrong, but in this case, I have to confess that I fully agree with him on this topic.

  6. The two things Peter has said in this video Brits also know them very well. Actually, Brexits was about them. First, they tried to resurrect the economic empire called the Common Wealth. But generations have passed, and the death of the Queen has plainly shown that the personal ties with former colonies inherited from the colonial period have now completely gone away. Then they tried to join the TPP, Trans-Pacific Partnership, while not in the Pacific. Well, Japanese, while rejecting Koreans' joining the group, welcomed Brits somehow. Unfortunately, however, the UK is too far away from the Pacific to enjoy the benefits of the group. Second, yeah, Brits have always talked about industrial policy. Brexiteers complained about the European Union's tight regulations which they believed it was hindering them from boosting their deindustrialization. Brit wanted to replicate technological innovation that had happened in the Industrial Revolution and hoped the Astra Zeneca vaccine could be the poster boy of it. But Both Theresa May and Boris Johnson were incapable of making it happen, and Liz Truss... Oh my Lord oh my God. She is yelling she saved the West, but in fact, what she had done was just giving a finishing bow to the UK economy. Conservatives managed to drag Truss out of Downing Street before the lettuce had wilted and replace her with Sunak. But it was already too late and Sunak was just as incapable as his former boss, Johnson. Will Britain successfully or partially avoid the grim fate Peter predicted in this video? Well......
