@drunkensailor3736 Quit advertising your own channel using a string of fake accounts. It's tiresome. Advertise if you wish, but at least have the decency to do it openly in your own name.

Ah, you mean like how the US did the same after WW2 (alongside Russia)?

@nobilesnovushomo58 There are no jobs to bring back. If you penalize offshoring to China, they'll just offshore to other low cost countries. Like Vietnam or India or wherever. They're not gonna bring it back to America, cos it's too expensive. If they're forced to manufacture in America, they'll just mechanize the whole thing. The jobs are gone for good. The only answer they know to create more jobs is to spend govt. money like there's no tomorrow, which was Trumps' dirty little secret sauce.

@brendanciuntuc7123 "it's not a competition who is worse but if you want it you can have it know the US has also done horrible stuff and I condemn all of it" - I'm not here to promote China, merely to disabuse people of the idea that there are any good guys in this. I'm just tired of seeing this being spun as some sort of moral conflict between good versus evil. With a preface like that, I've nothing more to argue over with you.

@reigak6599 That's his own channel. He uses a bunch of fake accounts to promote it under other channels' videos.

Dammit you people! You were all supposed to keep repeating "....yes.....interesting" here, not descend into actual arguments! You're all hopeless...

Okbuddy Retrad Fat lot of good a few protests have done for the average Iraqi. I gave you a body count, bud. For all its democratic hoohaa, the US has killed way more people in the world since Mao died. Instead of arguing on empty principles, deal with the reality on the ground. One of the those two countries has gone to war way more than than the other, and it ain't China. Protests haven't changed their ways despite having had decades to do so. Comparing China and Sweden makes China look horrible. Comparing China and the US makes them look almost saintly (well not quite, but you get the idea).

I suppose I might as well point it out, since this is the internet after all, so here goes - the above comment was in all likelihood sarcasm. Just fyi, for the inevitable people who'll come along who won't get that.

Lol, even the polls show that people didn't vote FOR Biden, they voted FOR or AGAINST Trump. This was on both sides of the political divide - Trumpsters voting cos of Trump, and Democrats also voting cos of Trump. Biden was a non-entity. Also, even then it's looking possible Trump would've won had it not been for his bungling of the pandemic, a black swan event if ever there was one. The Republicans still did rather well, considering how bad things were, so that just goes to show how uninteresting Biden really was.

@kamille1874 Approval is different from motivation. I didn't say Biden was seen as evil, I said he was a non-entity aka he wasn't what determined their vote. Here you go - https://i.imgur.com/HZlntlT.jpg

@Francisco-j1e Given their typical standards, they'll likely bungle that report too.

@reigak6599 You'll find him recommending or linking his videos in multiple comment chains on both this and past videos, across multiple geopolitics channels (VP and Caspian Report being the two I'm familiar with). Sometimes even completely unrelated videos, since he presumably doesn't have one at the time that matches up to the one he's commenting under. The account names change from time to time, but the pattern doesn't. He's been at it for quite a while now. Just check the larger comment chains under past videos of this channel and keep an eye out for comments like this one - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LYSwAy8Xk-E&lc=UgypZZOmzesiq7Z3ZYR4AaABAg.9JOYNcbu1Im9JOZw5uG1q7 (in case the link doesn't take you straight there, just check the chain under RZ06's comment on this vid, it's fairly high up)

@brendanciuntuc7123 Alright I'll bite. I see your 20,000 Tiananmen dead, and perhaps a million Uighurs imprisoned (don't even have to dispute either figure, as you'll see), and raise you over half a million dead in the Iraq war ALONE (and the US has engaged in loads of wars over just the last few decades) plus well over 2 million Americans imprisoned. So who's looking worse now, huh? Fact is that after Deng took over (which is when China started developing), China has raised over 800,000 people out of extreme poverty, and killed orders of magnitude fewer people across the world than the US in the same time period. Your move?

@SerenityM54L2SAM5L5N1 "expansionist foreign policy that jeopardizes global peace" - lol, are you talking about China, or the US? The former hasn't invaded any country for ages, the latter has been at war somewhere or the other across the world for most of its history. Here, have a look at who the world thinks is the greatest threat to global peace - https://brilliantmaps.com/threat-to-peace/

@TheGhostOfFredZeppelin Based on the US' foreign policy history, I rather think they'd go with the join option. China can support its dictators to be friendly to it, and the US respond by putting in other dictators to oppose China. It worked with the USSR, right?

@TheGhostOfFredZeppelin Who's authoritarianism, the country that exports it or the country that has it? And that's hardly all in the past, it continues to this day. Just cos you want to see the world through the childish lens of good versus evil doesn't make it so. The term 'client state' wasn't coined for China mind you, but the USSR and the US. China may want to get into that game, but they're hardly the only ones at it. Countries will do what serves their best interests, not align with whatever simplistic moral compass some random internet commenter has for the world.
