  1. Okay, Isobel Young, this is perhaps the best investigative reporting I've seen in a long time. I can't imagine how this will not win some major awards in investigative journalism.

  2. As a kid I use to hear so much about the Bermuda Triangle. I was fascinated by it. Don’t hear as much about it these days but maybe because the internet has given us millions more conspiracy theories.

  3. Today, the Syrian rebels have captured a large suburb of Damascus and a city on the border with Jordan. They are slowly encircling Damascus.

  4. Presidents in the US are increasingly unpopular due almost entirely to the polarization of US politics. Approval ratings of 60%+ were common before because you could get 90% approval of your party voters and then 30%-40% support of the opposition party voters. They’re days the ceiling of what support you get from the opposition is shrinking and shrinking. Obama saw his support from republicans shrinking over time from about 20% down to 10% at the end. Trump was around 15% support at peak with opposition party voters and went down to 5%.. Biden is now seeing around 10% support. In addition, the Democratic Party has a split left vs moderate which is also causing drop in approval from the same party voters.

  5. What is left out of this is the major improvements that europe is doing on energy efficiency. Europe won’t need as much gas next year (I guess next winter?). Still will be some problems.
    158
  6. The US involvement in the middle-east is almost entirely to offset Iran's influence so Israel teaming up with Saudi Arabia and UAE with support from the US should help tremendously to offset Iran and reduce the US involvement in the region so they can 'pivot' to China and Russia.

  7. And what they call a village in China is what we call a mid size city in US. No joke, went to “villages” with 300,000 people. Yeah, they called that a village

  8. With all the corruption in resource heavy nations in Africa, Botswana really shines in their ability to turn natural resources into actual financial benefit for the people

  9. I’m glad I found this channel just last week. Not sure how I found it, but I’m glad!

  10. 1:48 you have a list of the Russo-Turkish wars. Most of those before 1800 were europe helping the growing Russia because Europe’s main concern was to weaken the ottomans. There is one war missing in the map in Crimean war of 1853 with ottomans and Europe against Russia. Europe at this point saw ottomans were weak and now wanted to container Russia. Russia lost the Crimean war

  11.  @mayamodraf  the video literally mentions atrocities / war crimes committed on all sides. It then mentioned that the UN or whatever human rights group is mentioned in the video said what the Serbs did was just worse.
    99
  12. Seems to me that the two biggest factors in Argentinas slide since early 20th century are not fully taking part in the Industrial Revolution (sticking to agriculture and mining etc) and later terrible populist economic policies (give the people whatever they want rather than making sound economic policies) only to have to undo populist Policies before returning to those populist policies.
    94
  13. Meeting the leaders of these small nations is so cool. They all seem like regular people.
    81
  14. ​ @shoakman  The half Iranian spent basically her whole life in Japan but the half Colombian woman speaks at native-level Japanese? She spent age 3-18 in Colombia so I'm shocked her Japanese is that good.

  15. The thing is Marcon isn't actually concerned the EU should be less reliant on the US, he wants the EU to becomes reliant on France. He want's a France led EU.
    69
  16. While Russia being torn apart and divided is likely very little chance, if it does it will be in part because of jihadism. What wasn’t mentioned (unless I missed it) is that the Muslim minority have been overly represented in the mobilization. All of this could potentially end up causing such a huge a friction that we start seeing that community pull itself apart from Russia. But this is still a small chance.
    68
  17. The biggest issue is too many kids with very few spots in higher education They could build more good quality universities so that you don’t have a large population of kids fighting for limited spots in universities and thus putting extreme pressure on these tests
    53
  18.  @zero-dollartrader6440  Rus talking points are always to bring up Syria -- despite Ruzzia being the one most heavily involved there. Such a weird thing I notice people bring up to defend Ruzzia.
    53
  19. Yes it can but its highly unlikely. No territory has the ability to fight and win independence. But I do believe there will be major problems in the years to come.
    52
  20. For a 16 min video, this was really good. But there is so much detail that it could easily be a one hour video. This was a big story even in the US throughout the 90's. This and the collapse of the USSR are two foreign news I probably remember the most in the 90's.
    45
  21.  @iq-ride9329 how is Moscow today? Paying you well?
    39
  22. EU needs to step up and become less reliant but Macrons position on Taiwan is BAD. In addition, he chose the wrong time to make such a statement. Marcon isn't actually concerned the EU should be less reliant on the US, he wants the EU to becomes reliant on France. He want's a France led EU. France often acts against the EU when it's not in their interest. They are often able to do this because they are supported by resources from their neo colonies in West Africa. On geopolitical issues, it seems like France and Germany are often at odds with the rest of the EU. Eastern part of the EU and Sweden/Finland have serious concerns with Russia and thus to an extent also China. France and Germany might be a combination of trying to maintain autonomy and big trade with China (and Russia for Germany) that they end up often arguing different than the EU.

  23.  @Greg-yu4ij  Did you repeat what Putin wanted you to repeat?
    38
  24.  @silverletter4551  Hello Moscow worker. How are you?
    38
  25. And that’s exactly why I couldn’t get past 5 min of the video. “NATO expansion” criticism is often anti NATO propa and suggest Eastern Europe has no agency and has no issue with Russia ever. They were begging to join
    37
  26.  @bpittana  I'm curious why you think this is like Fox News? How is he partisan? He seems to criticize every country in the world though he does criticize the US the most. Or is that what you mean, that he's a partisan against the US?
    35
  27. There were attempts but it all stopped when Russia brutally attacked Chechnya. The brutality shown there made it obvious Russia didn’t change and would likely destroy nato or EU from within
    32
  28. Taiwan didn’t need an auto mfg industry but yes, it helps a lot. My understanding is that auto manufacturing requires lots of secondary suppliers and is also generally high labor wages in addition to spurring innovation that can be used for other industries. It’s why China put lot of focus on it last few years …seeing what it did for Japan and South Korea
    32
  29. This channel makes way too many excuses for russia. It almost never mentions the underlying problem - russia itself a a very aggressive country that all its neighbors fear. Instead, this channel tries to portray Russia a victim as much as possible. He’s from Azerbaijan which is friendly with Russia so maybe that’s where his bias comes from.

  30. “Check” and not “checkmate” would have been the perfect word
    30
  31.  @henryeghaghara9385  ​ another reason now that today is a better time than 20 years ago. 20 years ago there was hope China (and Russia) would became respectable players in the global politics. The belief was capitalism would lead to these conuntries to make the same changes japan Taiwan and southeast Korea did. It has mostly worked for Eastern Europe. It seems now such thinking doesn’t apply to energy rich countries or countries so large that they can make the trade mostly under their terms thus no reason from them to take on any western value.
    28
  32. Nah, NAFTA was good. And if you’re referring to other policies, the decline in manufacturing started before Reagan with 70’s seeing big declines in what is now the rust belt
    28
  33.  @facundomouly9446  US has little to do with argentinas problems. You sound like a typical tankie Argentine nationalist that I see often — blame everyone when the biggest blame should be on Argentina
    27
  34.  @ce8042  in Russia they can choose from one state propaganda or another state propaganda. They have destroyed all independent media. And in the Russian part of Moldova, if almost all the Russian language news is from Russia where it’s almost all Russian government propaganda, it’s going to effect Russian speaking part of Moldova. But they do have a choose and they chose ignorance.
    27
  35. Great analysis. I wished you took it a bit further to discuss Russia doing the same in caucus region with Georgia, Armenia and Azerbaijan as well as Central Asia with Kazakhstan and the other Stan countries. If this war doesn’t weaken Putin, those two regions are also a target.
    25
  36. I found this video weird. They didn't truly show all the important metrics and facts such as how the gas and oil revenues dropped significantly towards the end even before the Dec 2022 price cap. They left out some other metrics and facts that would really show Russia's long term struggles but at the same time, they seem overly optimistic at Russia's eventual economic destruction. Russia will certainly be hurt in the long run but the video at times makes it appear as if Russias economies will eventually collapse or have much bigger damage than what might actually happen. It's really hard to tell what the long term damage will be -- if oil and gas prices hike up again, even with a price cap, Russia will not be hurt as much. But if oil and gas prices do not increase and say a global slowdown occurs bringing demand down for gas and oil, Russia's economy can tank. It's uncertain if many other nations will try to do business as usual with Russia in the long run or not. All I know is that unless it's an economic collapse, I don't see Putin stopping the war due to economic reasons. The sanctions will just make it harder to fund the war and get the materials and weapons they need to keep the war going at full scale.

  37. In this thread: a bunch of non Americans who are anti American and spreading misinfo that Americans don’t know about most of these coup examples.
    23
  38. Even those not formerly colonized by France or even others have had major issues. Millions starved in North Korea. then look at Ethiopia.
    22
  39.  @eabutler6861  "A country just doesn't fall apart like that on its own" It does when consistently votes in leaders that then try to become dictators.
    22
  40.  @cloudwithwind574  Why don't you know what's truly happening in Xinjiang? Or what actually happened in Tiananmen Square in 1989? Why don't you know who are the white shirt and dark pants group of 30 that attacked protesters in Henan protest? Your government doesn't tell you these things.
    22
  41.  @caspermac  funny how most of the world wants to go to US universities and not chinas universities
    21
  42.  @RM-el3gw  you are right that Japan has been mostly stagnant since the 90’s. Japan didn’t grow because their working age population began to shrink in the 90’s. The reason their economy doesn’t shrink is because to offset a shrinking working age population, more women have entered the job market. And you’re seeing more elderly people working as well. Ultimately they need immigrants but that just doesn’t fly in Japan.
    20
  43.  @franwex  Biden is under 40% approval, Trump was mostly around 42%, Obama was mostly 45%-47% but go back to Clinton and he was often around 60%. Reagan was often above 60%.
    20
  44. DPofEternalnessity um, what did you watch? The people of Greece wanted all the benefits without working much for it and evaded taxes. Tax evasion by all income groups in Greece is a huge problem. All the government spending and people avoiding taxes lead to the mess.
    19
  45.  @alainarchambault2331  Argentina protected agricultural at the expense of industry a century ago and since then it’s enacted terrible business policies for the purpose of meeting populist sentiment.

  46. The ousted president said his family had 500 years in the same village so yeah, Afghanistan is very much about their village / tribe.

    17
  50. This isn’t accurate. Taliban has less than 50% approval. Afghanistan is full of tribal allegiance.
    16
  51.  @caspermac  nothing you say is honest. We can see university rankings and we can see where international students go and want to go. You’re just full of BS
    16
  52.  @victormacdougall6395  80% of men and 0% of women make for less than 50% of the population supporting the Taliban. Also, for less than 80% of men support the Taliban since tribal allegiance is more important.
    15
  53.  @henryeghaghara9385  the china debt to other nations cannot be understated. China has loaned out a lot of money and the pandemic has lead economic crisis in many countries China loaned to. Many are having trouble paying back China which means China will not be able to provide as many loans going forward
    15
  54. Great video. I noticed that I wasn't hearing as much about piracy in the past few years compared to over a decade ago. Great to finally understand why.
    15
  55. So the cops shot an unarmed person who was 15ft away, the cops lied they were shot at first, and the cops are found not guilty? What’s going on??
    15
  56. 7:55 You missed on the opportunity to put them on the spot. Should have asked him "If the government was lying to you about something, would you consider someone a traitor for telling the truth?"

  59. Latin America for sure is the most homogenous large area In the world. Same language, mostly same religion, most cities look similar (due to Spain city planning and architecture), and music and other cultural elements are shared across much of Latin America. Africa is the complete opposite lol. Genetically sub Sahara Africa is similar but that’s about it — so many languages and religions.
    15
  60. 2:28 what industrialized countries aren’t a major beneficiary of global supply chains? Can’t be many. Not to say William was wrong but each time I hear this, I see people misunderstanding it as if the US is the one benefiting the most with trade through Suez Canal when its Europe, Egypt and China that likely benefit the most.

  61. @maximusaugustus6823, The American giving Brits bad advise. ​ More guns and weaker gun laws are associated with increase murder rates. You are arguing for more fatalities.
    15
  62.  @LukaMihajlovic  I think there is big difference between displacement of people and a systematic attempt to kill large number of civilians or unarmed people. Both are bad but I think one goes further.

  63. @Ibrahim Özgür Sucu the problem is Iran is is the Source if much of the conflict the region. But I guess you are okay with them being behind the groups trying to destroy Israel, supporting Assad, and supporting Houthis. Oh, trying to build nukes as well. The list goes on

  64.  @DimitarBerberu  I love that sarcasm. Nothing says 'high moral standards' like conc camps, no free speech, controlling all information, etc.

  65.  @KZ-xt4hl  apartheid means you believe WB and GZ are Israel’s lands. So which is it? Is it Israel’s rightful lands?

  66.  @KZ-xt4hl sounds like Palest and Hezb need to stop trying to end the state of 🇮🇱

  67.  @pax6833 I like the new strategy— the US is building a makeshift port to deliver aid. No ceasefire but humanitarian aid will enter. At this point, the only humanitarian aid should be food and medicine.
    14
  68. Great analysis. So much going on with so little movement. As described in the video, it's really difficult to know where on that spectrum the situation is at the moment. My guess, what's going on in Bakhmut is partially Russia trying to get an offensive going before new weapons for Ukraine arrive and partially to try to get any type of victory so Putin can sell it back home after Russia lost a lot of land in the last 3 months of 2022. Russia (well Putin) is not afraid to lose twice as many soldiers as Ukraine to gain even a small land because Putin needs to show some victory and he can always hide the true death counts. I follow 1420 youtube channel where they interview Russians on the street an the majority just believe what Putin says so if Putin says only 20k casualties and 4k dead, they will blindly believe it or believe it's close enough. When the new weapons arrive, Ukraine might be able to make some advancements but it will be difficult to get large swaths of land due to having to wait too long for the tanks, giving Russia time to fortify their positions.

  69. Thank you for this update! I was worried about what happened to him. He seems like such great and nice person so glad to see he made it out.

  70. 21:17 you mention wanting to do more stories about different diaspora around the US. Some thoughts: Miami: Cubans NYC: Puerto Ricans, Dominicans Louisiana: Cajuns, Vietnamese San Francisco: Chinese California and Texas: Mexicans Arizona & New Mexico: native Americans Minnesota: Somalians Wisconsin: Hmong
    14
  71.  @ArawnOfAnnwn  “they didn’t develop backwards but failed to develop forward” is a good representation of Argentinas problem. It was a high income country in an era where agricultural sectors can compete with industry but as the 20th century continued to industrialized, Argentina was left behind. It didn’t create a business environment that encouraged industry.
    13
  72.  @mygetawayart yes, that’s what bothers people but what they don’t understand is these metrics and perhaps some missing metrics are the underlying factors of the polling. The only problem is with the country becoming more polarized and fewer people switching votes on party, his keys likely are still good but not as good at predicting future elections. He based this on something like 120 years of elections but the climate is different today and so the so many swing states, it’s going to get harder and harder to predict the outcome.

    13
  76.  @deezeed2817  you described a socialist scam not a capitalist scam - a government paying for more and more elderly retired people until the system crumbles. A capitalist model would be like Australia where it’s not on the government but employers and employees to pay for the retirement. The government requires employers pay X% of someone’s wages into a private retirement fund for the employee, like a 401k in the US.

  77. Western companies won’t put all their eggs in one basket but I will say “factory” doesn’t fit India aa well. They may eventually have half the factories as say China does now but India will also have lots of international service jobs that China doesn’t have in large part because Indians speak English. Call centers, IT, customer service for international companies, purchasing, etc. I have a manufacturing client in the US that has most of their accounting and Purchsing teams in India. That’s where much of Indias future is at.

  79.  @Meh-hr7gq  we aren’t in agreement. You blame disinformation for transgender when it’s opinion. But you won’t criticize trump and his supporters for actually spreading dangerous disinformation.
    12
  80. I'm glad you guys brought up the nuances, ESPECIALLY the War impact on GDP. Fighting a war requires a lot of government spending and government spending is literally one of the measures used in GDP. The best thing to do is look at GDP without war spending since war spending is mostly to build things that will just be destroyed and don't improve the citizens life. The charts showing certain industries plummeting at 8:22 was a perfect example of the information needed to really tell the story. However, that chart was only trade with EU so we would need to understand Russia's total trade -- where they able to make up for that EU trade loss or was there still some net loss? What everything seems to suggest is Russia is slowly in decline and will have major financial issues the longer the war goes but Russia will not economically collapse and will continue to have modest GDP losses or zero gain though it can be argued that GDP losses after war spending is removed might be considerable but not collapsing considerable.

  81.  @汝爱花否  prison rate in China is lower than US because they capital punishment 500x more people and China also doesn’t count the millions in camps as part of prison population.

  82.  @koharumi1  I’ve seen people who can’t swim begin to drown — they swing their arms around trying to swim and trying to grab anything. I imagine this lady either hit her head on something or her reaction to panic was to freeze up

  83. "Economies can keep going for a while if you implement enough measures to adjust to them. Russia had a very large reserve from oil revenue and can therefore continue for quite some time. " It costs them economically though but yes, it can avoid utter destruction of the economy if they keep adjusting which usually comes at more cost to the economy. In the long run, it's very damaging and the longer the war goes on, the significantly worse situation Russia will be in. But there is certainly no doubt they will be able to adjust in the short term.
    12
  84. 13:00 I wish the video did a better job here of explaining how removing tariffs and privatization and debt increase lead to deindustrialization and mass unemployment when those same tactics lead to great industrialization in Asia among China and before them South Korea and Taiwan and Hong Kong. I think it missed some policy changes in this part of the video.

  90.  @HostileGG  Coup? What's your source? Go ahead, I'm sure it's RT. And that was 2014. There was another president after that. Zelensky became president in 2019. Moscow worker really can't stick to facts.
    11
  91. US has too many guns.
    11
  92.  @sobieckil07  Well, most of the EU is mostly in line with Poland. But the two biggest (i.e. leaders) of the EU in Germany and France frequently are on the opposite side of the rest of the EU on foreign related matters and security. I think it's in large part because Germany and France have too big of trade dependence on China and Russia (for Germany) and because both want to try to keep some autonomy even if it's making bad decisions. Sort of like Turkey with NATO.

It’s clear he has an anti west bias for sure

  96. @VeroSierra610 That would be a much longer video but that would be an interesting video. I unfortunately don't think it would draw enough viewers to justify the amount of time he and his team would spend on a 30+ min video of the whole Yugoslavia wars but I do hope he considers doing it.

  100. Biden is under 40% approval, Trump was mostly around 42%, Obama was mostly 45%-47% but go back to Clinton and he was often around 60%. Reagan was often above 60%.

  101. Presidents in the US are increasingly unpopular due almost entirely to the polarization of US politics. Approval ratings of 60%+ were common before because you could get 90% approval of your party voters and then 30%-40% support of the opposition party voters. They’re days the ceiling of what support you get from the opposition is shrinking and shrinking. Obama saw his support from republicans shrinking over time from about 20% down to 10% at the end. Trump was around 15% support at peak with opposition party voters and went down to 5%.. Biden is now seeing around 10% support. In addition, the Democratic Party has a split left vs moderate which is also causing drop in approval from the same party voters.

  103. I don’t know how this video got it wrong. I’m no expert on Pakistan but I know Punjabi’s speaks Punjabi and that Urdu was Chosen as the national language so it doesn’t look to favor the biggest ethnic group, Punjabis. Also, not sure what you meant by undivided India. I’m assuming you mean the India in 1947? Because historically, greater India was not undivided but many different nations or states.

If you actually think the Iranian regime is more trustworthy than the the Israeli regime with nukes, then maybe you’re the type that still wishes the man with the little mustache had won ww2.

  109. There are actual medical definitions of mentally disturb so it has a lot to do with fitting those definitions. If a person is imaging things, has bipolar, acting irrationally at various times, etc - it’s mentally disturb. A terrorist is someone who for the most part acts rational in his daily life though has extremist views.

  112.  @Pedro-zu3uq  the video literally pointed out populism followed by corrections, followed by more populism, followed by corrections. At times the video did a terrible job of explaining how certain corrections lead to hurting industry. For example, it mentions that in the 1970s, they got rid of export tariffs, and privatized, which supposedly led to industry being hurt. This is the exact opposite of what Asia saw with similar privatization and opening up for trade. He clearly left off some policies in that discussion that led to industry being hurt. to this day Argentina still has care of some experts. How can you defend that?

  116.  @HimanshuSharma-oe4mk  great point. India doesn’t need all 1.4b to speak English to have major impact. If 150 million speak English and most young educated people are growing up speaking English, that will mean the number of educated Indians able to speak English will continue to grow and could surpass the US with most English speakers. In comparison, young people in China do learn some English but most of them speak it very terribly unless they are from a rich family. I’m not sure how accurate Indian movies are but I watch many of them and what I noticed is how often people switch to English y on occasion. It’s far more prevalent in Indian movies than movies from any other countries. Even if it’s not accurate (that many Indians switch to English on occasion) it demonstrates the importance of English none the less. Watch a movie from Latin America and they will almost never switch to English even for a moment unless they are dealing with a character that only speaks English. It might have a lot to do with india having a diverse group of people speaking so many languages that English is often used as a commons language. In Latin America or east Asia or most countries there is just one main language that almost all the people speak so learning the international language of English isn’t that important.

  121. 100%. EU needs to step up and become less reliant but Macrons position on Taiwan is BAD. In addition, he chose the wrong time to make such a statement. Marcon isn't actually concerned the EU should be less reliant on the US, he wants the EU to becomes reliant on France. He want's a France led EU. France often acts against the EU when it's not in their interest. They are often able to do this because they are supported by resources from their neo colonies in West Africa.

  129. "This is pretty old news, it's just becoming more apparent." I would say in the past it was obvious it was headed to this and now we are finally seeing the housing market and possibly banking sector crash. How big of a crash depends on how the government handles it. "The key to China's economical growth is real estate and other construction projects, it will most likely be their downfall as well." This is why the government hasn't done too much about it for years because they got greedy just like US govt turned a blind eye to bubble in early 2000's. But in China, housing market is (was) more than double the % of GDP as it is in the US.

One mor major party would make a world of difference so thus 2 of the 3 can work together on a specific legislation and get it done. As if is, one party can often block the other party from passing a piece of legislation Still 100x times better than China where there is only one true party and only the elites of that party do the real voting.

  163. Supporting Putin because they feel they must support Putin is one of the major reasons why autocratic leaders like to control the news and information. It allows the autocratic leader to tie support to the leader (themselves) to support for the country while at the same preventing much bad news or critical news of that leader. China does the same which is why the CCP has very higher approval ratings. By all accounts, Kim of North Korea also has an exceptionally high level of support. Many of those that fled said the vast majority of North Koreans truly love their leader.

  171.  @skydragon23101979  China invading Taiwan would have huge global economic disaster. That's where most of the advance chips are made.

They will use force to take the East Vietnam Sea.

  172.  @louiscypher4186  His position on Taiwan is bad. He basically just openly admitted to just let China invade Taiwan. He doesn't have to support using European military but what he stated was just wrong on so many levels. He also suggested they wouldn't support some kind of economic punishment against China. The whole problem is because Macron (and France) would rather make bad decisions just to keep some autonomy. He's right that Europe should be more independent from the US but his actions and words over the year suggest he wants a France controlled EU.

  176. Yes, the straight is way too important to let Turkey go. That’s the only reason Turkey is in NATO. The influence in NATO can change for Turkey though. NATO is less likely to support Turkey bare minimum so long as Turkey is a bad actor in NATO.

  181.  @Meh-hr7gq  In 2020 while Tr*mp was still president :"But an 87-page report summing up the findings, released jointly on Wednesday by the Senate Homeland Security and Finance Committees, contained no evidence that the elder Mr. B*den improperly manipulated American policy toward Ukraine or committed any other misdeed. In fact, investigators heard witness testimony that rebutted those charges." and: "In June 2020, former Ukrainian prosecutor general Ruslan Riaboshapka stated that an audit of thousands of old case files he had ordered in October 2019 had found no wrongdoing by Hunter B*den. Riaboshapka was described by Zelenskyy as "100 percent my person" during the July 2019 call in which Tr*mp asked him to investigate B*den"

"Civil society organizations in Ukraine were pressing for his resignation," Kaleniuk said, "but no one would have cared if there had not been voices from outside this country calling on him to go."

  188.  @Zombification23  I think it's fair to discuss the past atrocities but it's also fair to put everything into today's context.

  190.  @mmajik7899  that’s why I think these videos often saying “South Koreans don’t care” or “Taiwan isn’t worried (about invasion from China” are often misleading. People like to spin it as if North Korea and China aren’t threats and that’s it’s all bluff. The realty is the military and government of South Korea and Taiwan are preparing for the worst and don’t fully take it as a bluff but the people get numb to everything and it gets normalized. I grew up in the ghetto and I was use to it (wasn’t too worried) even though the violence and gun shots where real. I’ve moved on to an upper middle class life and I’m very scared now when i enter neighborhoods similar to what I grew up in. The more your inside those threats, the more decenticized you get and more normalize it all becomes.

  226. I like Roman but he’s full of it here. 538 (very reputable polling firm) looked at another polling the at isnt russian state media. They concluded Evidence of such a surge (pro war) also showed up in a survey by one of Russia’s most reputable independent pollsters, the Levada Center. The strong majority of Russians support the war.

  229. "i can only recommend not to judge the whole country from the big tourist spots." True for many countries but especially those with govt regimes that aren't open. They tend to put resources all in a small area to show to the world (think NK & Cuba) while the rest is much more in poverty. That said, I think that makes it unique to visit the non tourist areas.

  230.  @skydragon23101979  Arguing that an invasion of Taiwan would be over quickly? Wow, I have never heard of that. No expert has ever said that -- except the See See Pee. Hmmm. Taiwan has lots of weapons and is an island. It's reported that China would need over 1 million to have a chance to take the island. They will be sitting ducks out in the ocean as they try to land. The mountains of Taiwan provide so many places to fire missiles from

  231. Yeah, they made the mistake of requiring unanimous support to evict someone from EU as if one country can’t be bought by another or a second country might be just as bad and align with the country in question. There are 27 EU countries so if 25/26 want you out, that should be enough to evict.

  234.  @jaspermooren5883  The problem is that as an autocratic leader, he has a lot of pull in forming the opinions of the people. But I guess these types of moves will keep benefiting him -- increase nationalism at home, talk a big game on foreign matter, then take a small concession and blow it up as a major win. Much like how Trump did NAFTA -- called it the worst trade deal in history then made few changes, rebranded it, and then claimed it's a great trade deal. People will buy what these guys are selling which is sad.

  235.  @victormacdougall6395  not a thing changed in Afghanistan because the country is extremely tribal. Each region is and has always been highly disconnected from the others. This is why you are WRONG that Taliban has majority support. What the Taliban has is enough men with the will to fight and the will to slaughter massive numbers of innocent people to get their opponents to surrender.

  251.  @cosmicgregg  and once again, me trying to bring up the details in the comment that doesn’t show is somehow again not showing. I’ll try to rephrase it — Cosmic ignored countries such as Vietnam, Panama, Dominican Republic, (possibly) Chile, Mexico, Guatemala, etc because they are no friendly with the US which is not an honest argument to make. Also, Cosmic wanted to use only polling of the last president Don and not under the current or the one before Don, where the US ranks high on both.

  259.  @randomcommenteronyoutube1055  Yes, that's what I expect. A slow decline of Russia that will make it harder for Russia to fight a full fight but it won't lead to Putin giving up because there will need to be an economic collapse, which won't happen. The hope is that a weakened Russia leads to Ukraine slowly taking back it's lands.

Indian was a major trading partner with the USSR. USSR, China and India and 3 of the top 3 to 5 most resource rich nations which means they had the resources available.

Their interest are dangerous to the world which is also why it shouldn't have been a surprised they didn't remain neutral. Europe will be the real challenger but that's good. China and Russia will have trouble actually making serious allies and what RUS has done in Ukraine and how CN has acted towards Europe and others in East Asia, it actually strengthened 'the west'.

Most understand the security it brings and the money it brings Though one thing not discussed in the video is that most of these soldiers are 18-22yrs and often get drunk and cause problems. Anywhere where large number of 18-22yr old men are is going to have some issues that come with such a demo.

There is no zero sum argument I made. >Defending China and looking after Europe’s interests does not have to be in conflict. If one is defending China's actions, then one's interest is in a divided west.

By itself not enough to collapse but if it’s listed one of 3 major reason for russias economic troubles. You are purposely creating a strawaman that others argued that the 500K+ alone would collapse the economy. Creating strawmans to defend Russia is a common tactic of gnomes. Also would like to mention that 500k educated workforce suddenly leaning put of 60m workforce by itself would be about 1-2% of gdp. If they don’t return, that’s 1-2% lower growth every year then they otherwise would have. It adds up. And the people leaving is likely increasing at a good rate.

  301.  @tigris4247  hostile alliance describes anyone that is “allied” with Russia. Why do you think everyone wanted to break away from USSR and why do you think they all wanted to joint to NATO? Seems like Russia is the bully and you’re calling NATO hostile for recognizing that Russia has bullied many countries for centuries and continued after the USSR collapse.

  302. It's a great move that is working out well. The key is to keep lowering the cap to adjust for the going rate. It should be something like $60 per barrel or $30 under the going rate, which ever is lower.

  303. 3:12 FYI, this is comparing revenue from energy vs costs of war. Yes, revenue from energy is slightly higher but that isn’t the profit of revenue. The profit is much smaller thus the energy profit isn’t enough to pay for the war which is why they are still going further and further into debt.

  306.  @cageybee7221  A decade after the peace deal is signed? But the longer the war goes, the most debt they will have. Imagine 4 yrs of this -- 4x the debt they already have! And you're saying the the EU would give Ukraine over $100 billion euros in loans to pay other loans? And that's not including the hundreds of billions more needed to rebuilt Ukraine.
    5
  307.  @cageybee7221  One decade to pay all the loans? That's assuming the war ends today. This war will continue for a while. Also, are we including the loans that will be provided to rebuild Ukraine or are we only looking at the loans during the war? If we are considering the loans after the war, no way Ukraine will ever be able to pay off most or all of those loans.
    5
  308. That's an interesting comparison. I think one big differences is the loan to the Bank of Switzerland is likely to be paid back and loans to Ukraine are likely to not be paid back by Ukraine (maybe by a 3rd party though).

  311.  @jannecoolen2816  " But around 2009 the Russian sentiment had shifted: " Well before 2009 there was no interest in either side to have Russia as NATO. The 2008 invasion of Georgia basically caused a massive rift but Russia was already heading in that direction before and mid 2000's Putin was making anti EU anti NATO comments. The war on terrorism did creat cooperation but I think with rising oil & gas prices in mid 2000's, Russia felt they could be more aggressive and wouldn't need NATO. Regarding EU, I 100% agree. OP wasn't asking in good faith (pro Putin/Ruzzia) but the requirements for EU are tough and Russia along with several others interested just have too much corruption and or not enough democracy. Given how Hungary and to a less extent Poland has acted in the EU, it will likely be even tougher to join the EU today and in the future.

  312.  @CJ-nv6yw  This channel makes way too many excuses for russia. It almost never mentions the underlying problem - russia itself a a very aggressive country that all its neighbors fear.

"The communist party of Indonesia we overthrew a" The coup ATTEMPT? In 1958? That was against Sukarno? HIs party was the Indonesian National Party and not the Communist Party of Indonesia. "Chiles president before Pinochet was elected was removed." Not a coup directed by the US. In fact, the only real evidence we have are the white house tape recording and notes that are publicized years later and it shows Nixon surprised of the coup and showing he was unaware of it. They did not work with Pinochet to do a coup.

Ultimately it’s up to the parents to keep their kids in check on bullying others, especially based on race and ethnicity.

  399.  @XiaoPangZi  Interesting point you raised that I have often argued. The US after WW2 made lot of bad decisions but on the whole, they basically saved the world from communism. Without the US, USSR would likely have spread to more of Europe and would have spread communism to many other parts of the world. I don't understand how people can say that the world would have been better if the US allowed communism to spread considering communist countries had the worse human rights and their economies didn't work either which is why they all ditched it (except North Korea).

Those chances get reduced the longer the war goes and costs during the war rise an cost to repair Ukraine after rise. I'm fairly certain the lenders know that it's very likely Ukraine they will have to forgive part of their loans.

  412.  @BigBoiiLeem  But the title makes to very misleading comment. First, that Ukraine will be receiving $3 billion to their current situation. They are not.

A separate court decision will decide on what will actually happen.

  413.  @MisterFoxton  Yeah, actually, I think that's the part where they did cross the line of click bait.

One flaw in the gdp but that only affects a small % is that if you paid $100billion to dig a hole and then just put all the dirt back, that’s $100b increase in gdp. That’s not a realistic example but demonstrates that bad spending can increase gdp. In the end, if every country measured it well, median income would be the best single metric. For some reason most countries don’t properly measure it.

Russia is aggressive (but completely downplayed in the video) and bullies it's neighbors and former puppet states. Those states are worried and join alliances for protection. Russia then sees those alliances as threats and thus has 'valid concerns' which they then use to follow through on the aggressiveness they have displayed.

They were innovators in banking and financing in part because of Italian city states and but also Netherlands and hansa league lead to creation of early forms of capitalism. And China did build and scrap larger ships ONE time and those ships required staying near the coast. They were not suitable for long deep sea voyages.

  448.  @zinjanthropus322  europe was ahead of India and China in the 1500’s on ship building and design, weapon’s innovation, and early forms of capitalism. India and China had the natural resources but Western Europe made up for their lack of natural resources.

  454.  @cosmicgregg  well, “lack of countries” isn’t even accurate. You mentioned 37 countries which seem to be from Pew. But also, Latinobarametro polls thousands of people across nearly 20 Latin American countries and they find the same. Heck, even Venezuela in 2014 before the crisis made polling difficult had favorable opinion of the US. There is still is some anger in Latin America and it’s mostly driven by the authoritarian leftist which is why I asked if you were a leftist. Many Latin American countries with leftist leaders who are anti U.S. still have a majority of the people having favorable opinions of the US. It’s not that the people in those counties forgot, it’s just no longer that important today considering the US isn’t (rarely) meddling in Latin America in recent years
    3
  455.  @cosmicgregg  seriously, even if ignore all the Allied countries that US never did a coup in, you will find many examples of those identified in the video have favorable opinions of the United States from Mexico to Dominican Republic to chile (no actual coup by US but it was mentioned as possible) to Brazil to Panama to Guatemala to Vietnam to etc. the general opinion of these mentioned in the video is favorable towards the United States . Are you a far leftist by chance?

  456.  @hegaliandialectics4289  so communist failed because it sucks. Got it. Also, you did change the whole conversation. You specifically said most communist leaders were democratically elected. The exact quote “"most of the time, many governments that were overthrown, had communist leaders democratically elected into power". Again, “had communist leaders democratically elected into power”. And I specifically asked you to name all of them and you name leaders that weren’t even communist. So you never actually gave me numerous examples of the “communist leaders democratically elected into power”
    3
  457.  @hegaliandialectics4289  you said Guatemalas president want event communist —- and this whole discussion was me calling you when you said “most of the time, many governments that were overthrown, had communist leaders democratically elected into power”. Then I asked you to name me all the democratically elected communist leaders and you named a non communist. So again, you proved my point by not being able to name numerous democratically elected communist leaders.
    3
  458.  @hegaliandialectics4289  " the CIA "actively supported the military Junta after the overthrow of Allende" that just means the US didn't participate in the coup. Them deciding to become friendly with Pinochet after the fact is not the same thing. "Not sure how that takes away from literally anything I said. " Because accusing someone of a coup is not the same as becoming allied or friendly or whatever with someone AFTER a takeover.

  473.  @shanghaidiscovery2664  along with more quality universities, I do agree with you that it’s a mistake to base everything in just two tests rather than grades in school. It leads to not as much learning growth but teaching to the exam. It also leads to increased pressure to study harder as described in this video. There are probably a few other actions the government can take to address the issue discussed in the video

  476.  @SupbarXD  Why do I have feeling Subpar is criticizing me because Subpar supports QunQiao Zhan l1es? He said "The purpose of this firewall is to protect 1gn0r@nt people from v1le influences." That's the comment that started it all. So, does Subpar believe that's the purpose of the firewall or does Subpar agree with me that the purpose is for c0ntro0 over the population like every country with a similar firewall does? really look forward to hearing from Subpar on what Subpar thinks the purpose of the firewall in China is for.

The Chinese people (at least those that go online) will support the CCP on everything that is not directly related directly to them (so support the govt on all foreign matters, their treatment of Ughurs, what they do to Hong king, the threats of Taiwan, etc). They will blindly support the govt on all of that but the only time they question the govt is when it effects them personally such as lockdowns in Shanghai or this stress from education.
    3
  480.  @Stocking_Knight  So which is it, number 1 or 2? Are you not able to criticize the govt on what’s happening in Xinjiang or do you support the atrocities? You’re reply suggest it’s one of these two.

    3
  488.  @Stocking_Knight  The issue is that Chinas government isn’t investing enough on more high quality universities so you have a massive population fighting for a limited number of spots at the quality universities. This is why so many end up going overseas and enroll in foreign universities.

  491. It’s not doing better than most of European economies — it shrank 3% last year. And the gdp is misleading because Russia spent $100 billion in the war which is considered part of gdp. That’s nearly 6% of gdp so their actual gdp minus the war would be -9% or even lower.
    3
  492. @MSD Group “ if Russia’s economy is so bad this year how could the IMF make a prediction that Russia will be the 9th strongest economy on earth?” Because you’re using how big an economy is rather than its growth or decline. Seriously? You’re basically saying India has a better economy than Switzerland because of the size of India. What’s the temperature in Moscow today?

  495. Blackwater is not the same as Wagner. Blackwater is not under the control of the US government— they are a private that was hired often by the US but the company also took jobs that were not in the interest of the US. Wagner is indirectly under control of Putin and does what’s in the interest of Putin. As a result, Wagner is also sometimes a leader in an operation such as what they did in Donbas in 2014 and after. Blackwater provided additional support for the US in two wars but were not the first to arrive in those countries and were hired as support — often to work security for military personnel or security for some location. Other than that, they do have lots of similarities as you would expect from private contract forces.

  496.  @GeoScorpion  great point. After ww1, you didn’t see many countries trying to conquer new lands. In ww2 you saw Soviets, Germany, Italy and Japan trying to conquer new lands. In immediate aftermath of ww2, Soviets took by force either incorporated into USSR or occupied puppet states almost all of Eastern Europe (Yugoslavia appeared to be independent but they were already friendly with Soviets). The US and UK basically gave the freedom to west Germany, France, Italy, China, and basically all the territory they freed from Germans and Japanese. China then took Tibet and today is trying to take not only Taiwan but South China Sea and East Sea. Russia today is trying to take Ukraine.

    3
  500. Long term it’s hard to tell because short term, it’s easy to turn some of those profits to the most obviously needed infrastructure. But as I pointed out, China has a massive bribing operation in Guyana caught on video. This means It’s likely little by little will be draining away at Guyanas potential and they will hit a ceiling at some point unless they rid corruption in their government.
    3
  501. Vice News caught on video Chinas massive bribing operation tied to the leader of guayana. If Guyana is so easily corrupted, this tells me Guyana will just be another Venezuela- never turning the oil into big profits for the people.

Many cities in China have cost of homes 50x or higher than the local incomes. 5 of the top 8 highest cities in the world are in China alone. What that means is that a drop in the housing in China will be much bigger effect than just anywhere else in the world.

  550. China is supporting Russia by spreading Russian disinformation and blaming the west and US for the war. However, they are not militarily supporting nor voting in support of Russia at the UN. China signed a $117b energy deal and made an anti west friendship pact with “no limits” with Russia when Russia had 150k troops ready to invade in Feb. China thought russia would win the war in days and but that backfired and China is trying repair their image by downplaying their actions in support of Russia.

"But here's the truth: the 20k-30k number came from the research done on surveillance of graveyard, combing rus social media of the soldiers family, verifiable picture evidence of their dead body and other verifiable sources" No, the 20k-30k for THIS battle has to do Bakhmut fighting. Media Zona is the one verifying
    3
  559.  @far_centrist  Yes, they can only count what they see which is why the estimates are conservative. But maybe Rus people aren't educated on the fact that there is also drone footage of the battles? Destroyed vehicles don't always include crew deaths which is why they make an educated estimated based on experience and information collected from other battled before. They can determine that on average, a Tank Alpha destroyed means 1.2 deaths.

Then Russia quickly went into Ukraine and that’s why US couldn’t do anything. Other than anti US pro Ukraine comment, the rest was good

  596.  @gerhardaryawardana72  I've caught two Perun videos and they are very good. They just very long (generally around 1hr or more) and no way I can watch all the videos when I have so many other videos to watch. What you describe about the video, it does make a lot of sense. The key seems to be that Ukraine must keep attacking or bombarding Russian military positions. With the already low morale with Russians soldiers, the winter conditions and being bombarded might really break many of those Russian soldiers. Will it turn into any major land gains in the winter or will it serve to help weaken Russia for a later major land gain is unknown. I don't have high hopes that Ukraine would be able to make the major land gains during the winter.

One famous example is the "Patriot Act' that was officially "USA PATRIOT Act".

What is your point?” You’re arguing that those who rule have majority approval which is pure ignorance and your way of defending the Taliban. You’re saying people will rise up against the Taliban if Taliban doesn’t have majority support. By your dumb logic, the British were extremely popular in Indian 19th century because British ruled and did so for 200 years.

  613.  @nikomann88  I do not agree with your statement that the wealthy and well connected will invest in the agricultural or financial sectors, but never in the more complex industrial sector. in fact, agricultural sectors are probably not a sector that the wealthy usually want to invest in. In Argentina, they probably avoid the industrial sector because they don’t have trust in the government And the economic policies. Argentina is remote, but so is Australia, and they are very rich and chile is right next to Argentina, and had very strong success in the last 30 years. Deregulation is how Asia has gotten rich and yet you think it’s bad for Argentina? It seems to be that there is a lot more going on. I do agree that Argentina’s demand first world worker rise and salaries, but had to compete with for example, Brazilian society, and other such countries . This is what I mean that Argentina’s economic issues are related to populism where the government gives everything that the people demand which then turns into issues, which they try to correct only to return back to populism. Rinse and repeat.

  614. 0:18 40,000 casualties (killed, captured, injured, missing) in one month is insane and obviously not sustainable. Makes sense why Russia is pulling back and looking to concentrate on eastern front. Imagine 40k for month would be 200k in 5 months, the whole force in Ukraine.

You also realize that historically it was Russia invading it's neighbors FAR more than it's neighbors invading Russia yet this video leads viewers to believe Russia was invaded more often or equally often. The fact is there is zero 'understanding why Russia is afraid" UNLESS it's goals are to have puppet states and bully it's neighbors but fears those nations retaliating. Literally every problem that is Russia related in that region is because Russia is a aggressive and wants to dominate it's former puppet states.

    2
  658.  kwokwai So  there’s more: “The UN human rights chief, who this week announced she would not be seeking another term, told a session of the 50th Human Rights Council in Geneva that there were limitations on her visit to the region in China” “I was not able to speak to any Uyghurs currently detained or their families during the visit”
    2
  659.  kwokwai So  I’ll help you out on what Michelle Bachelet of UN said: “Michelle Bachelet has said wasn’t able to speak to any detained Uyghurs or their families during her controversial visit to Xinjiang, and was accompanied by government officials while in the region.” So no investigation and was alway followed by government officials
    2
  660.  kwokwai So  “we can’t prove where he’s telling the truth “. Literally how this works — it’s just one piece of all the evidence I described. You’re basically arguing you won’t accept anything unless the criminal admits it publicly. But before we go on, tell me why you weren’t honest about the UN visit to Xinjiang? It proves you have no care for facts
    2
  661.  kwokwai So  he testified in the international tribunal courts. He’s also spoken to many other publications who have their own experts. Are you just telling me that you will not accept any evidence unless the criminal china itself publicly admits guilt? And you’re saying is you will also not accept any testimonies from Uyghurs themselves?
    2
  662.  kwokwai So  you say “you just can’t take someone’s word”. Are you saying we can take as part of the total evidence any eye witness accounts?
    2
  663.  kwokwai So  the experts looked at his uniform, pictures he had, and documents he had. His stories and details also added up what the experts could corroborate.

  687.  @Meh-hr7gq  You are no different than the Russian disinformation campaign using the same exact tactics
    2
  688.  @Meh-hr7gq  hey Trumper I don’t see any video that you posted. But you are arguing the withholding aid in return for fixing some corruption is the same as withholding aid in return for illegally interfering with an election.
    2
  689.  @Meh-hr7gq  and Biden withholding aid until some corruption is fixed is the same as withholding aid in return for illegally interfering with an election?
    2
  690.  @Meh-hr7gq  who threaten to withhold aid for Ukraine in return for interfering with elections? You mention Biden and Ukraine and aid but it’s Trump that did that.
    2
  691.  @Meh-hr7gq  it is funny how you bring up a lot of stuff without evidence but you refuse to acknowledge that Trump and his supporters are a big source of this information. You refuse to acknowledge there is a recording of Trump coercing Ukrainian president to interfere in the US elections. You refuse to acknowledge that the 2020 elections were not rigged against Trump.
    2
  692.  @Meh-hr7gq  they reported what Smollet said. So the media isn’t supposed to report what people say? And they must first wait until a case is over before they report on it? Bro, your a Trumper who supports Trump disinformation
    2
  693.  @herohero-fw1vc  there was a lot of western news that was also criticizing the evidence or the war. So now imagine if all western evidence not only promoted the lies but banned all criticism of evidence or the war and that’s russia today.
    2
  694.  @Meh-hr7gq  stop being partisan and yet you refuse to acknowledge that Trump and his supporters are among the biggest disinformation spreaders. And Trump most certainly did obstruct Justice in the investigation and most certainly was caught in audio recording illegally coercing Zelensky to interfere in the US elections. So we have 100% evidence of Trump asking for a foreign nation to interfere in US elections but Trump never apologized for it.
    2
  695.  @Meh-hr7gq  I’m against transgender women in women sports but you created a lie that support is based on lies when it’s based on opinion. But certainly you can admit that Trump and Trump supporters spread lots of disinformation?
    2
  696.  @Meh-hr7gq  but the whole transgender thing is a matter of opinion and not disinformation you Trumper. Are you going to admit that there is a lot of disinformation from Trump and his supporters?
    2
  697.  @Meh-hr7gq  that is completely unrelated and nothing to do with disinformation you Trumper. Lol, you ignore all the actual disinformation about how the 2020 election was rigged. You are no different than the people in this video.
    2
  698.  @mehe2048  and you are example of typical disinformation and Russian trolling with “freedom of press is the same as government controlling all media”.
    2
  699.  @ce8042  hmmm…your saying that freedoms or press like many press in the west being critical of the US invasion of Iraq is just as bad as if all the media supported the Iraq invasion and if anyone criticizing the Iraq war would get up to 15 years in prison?!? Wow, you russian trolls need to work on your lies. But since your against the Iraq war, does that mean you condemn Russia for invading Ukraine?
    2
  700.  @ce8042  oh lol, the disinformation spreader typical of Russian and Chinese trolling responds with the typical disinformation “freedom of press is basically the same as the government controlling all media and information”. Be honest, do you actually believe your own BS?
    2
  701. Just look at China to see how state propaganda works. Ask Chinese for their opinions and it’s almost always the same as what the CCP. Ask an American, and most of the time about half the population will disagree with what the president said.

  702. 🇵🇸 people voted for Hamas and put them in power, 72% approve of Oct 7, and majority do NOT want Hamas to surrender. I can’t feel sorry for people like that though at the same time I can’t feel sorry for the hate Israel or ate least the IDF and government hate.

  703. Not so fun fact, 🇵🇸 people voted for Hamas, 72% approve of Oct 7, and majority do NOT want Hamas to surrender. I can’t feel sorry for people like that though at the same time I can’t feel sorry for the hate Israel or ate least the IDF and government hate.

  706.  @Snipsnop260  china and India had lower gdp per capita than Western Europe did in 1500 and much lower than Western Europe in 1600. In 1600, only Iberian peninsula was heavily involved colonizing. Europe was indeed poorer than China during most of the Middle Ages but by late Middle Ages and early modern period Western Europe had been going through a renaissance, innovation in governments and economies, and just overall innovation such as ship designs and weapons.
    2
  707.  @CJONTHEHOUSE  funny how you CCP apologist had trouble with johnnys video on China and then you come here to spread mis -info such as suggesting Singapore is poor while India is rich in order to defend the false claim by Johnny that europe was poor in 1500.
    2
  708.  @DaltonFTT  "but it’s not you, Johnny Harris’s or anyone else’s right for that matter " You realize you are making the worst argument ever. If something is dangerous such as Joe Rogan letting people speak and spread lies, it does not mean me or Jonny Harris are saying Joe should be legally forced to change his show. All you proved is that I am right that was Rogan does is bad because otherwise, you wouldn't have twisted this into what is legal or not then crated a strawman argument suggesting I am saying Rogan should be removed from the air.

  709.  @BS-vf1nv  "So the factcheckingpart should be done by the person who listens." Did you even watch this video? It says people generally don't so by allowing people to speak without being fact checked, dangerous ideas and fake news gets spread.

  712. This was a great episode! I caught it a few days ago on Nebula but there is no comment section there so I'm here to read comments. I did want to add that given the US and west sanctioned Russia with full force, a partial blockade of Taiwan by China will likely now be met with strong sanctions against China. In addition, the US and Japan and maybe others would have a navy also patrolling Taiwan's water so the partial blockade would be ineffective -- or else China will have to shoot at US and Japanese naval ships. But they don't want war with them.
    2
  713. Outsourced it because it was too expensive to make in the US. Taiwan was still poor in the 80's so labor was cheap.
    2
  714. Yes, I knew 95% of what's in this (well, maybe not much about the deeper dive into the components of the chips) but it was great story telling with great use of visual tools.

  718.  @hegaliandialectics4289  you literally wrote “had communist leaders democratically elected” and I asked you to name all the examples of democratically elected communist leaders and you named people who were not. So why can’t you stay honest?
    2
  719.  @hegaliandialectics4289  why can’t you stick to honest conversations? Why state incorrect things that we can easily go back to the earlier comments proving you wrong?
    2
  720.  @hegaliandialectics4289  so now you’ve completely change the discussion. I was arguing with you on the democratically elected communist leader statement you made. Also, most of the time US imperialism didn’t end an ideology? To paraphrase Austin powers movies quote, “the Cold War is over. We (capitalist) won!” Or do you think communism loss out because it was a horrible ideology? Either a Terri or ideology or US imperialism did defeat communism.
    2
  721. Why should Chile be included? There is no real evidence that the US was a major player if at all in the coup? We do have evidence the US wasn’t involved — literally White House tape recordings and notes showing Nixon unaware and surprised by the coup. I’m guessing you’re a far leftist?
    2
  722. The “elections” were announced a week ago and two days ago they knew today would be the day Putin will speak about it so it’s not too much a coincidence this was released around the same time the annexation was publicly announced
    2
  723. Great video. One of the best I've seen on this topic. Things won't change for the reasons mentioned in this video -- congress has self-interest AND it would be hard to police any policy unless there is a blanket ban on all trade for congress which would seem a bit authoritarian. Raising awareness of each trade is certainly a step forward.
    2
  724.  @jaidenm9456  regardless if the people did not favor progressive policies, it’s not a reason to hate on him. It should be something positive when leaders try to make a country better. And the repression under the shah was very mild compared to before and after the shah and compared to other Mid East countries.
    2
  725. Another misleading video. It was mostly right but as usually it makes the US look a lot worse than reality. For example, The “dictator” in Iran was actually very progressives and expanded women’s rights and tried very hard to improve the economy and help the poor. He expanded education etc. But yeah, just easy to say he was a dictator and leave at that. Also, the ayatollah didn’t care that the US helped over throw a democratically elected leader in Iran - he was upset that the dictator had given women so many rights

    2
  731.  @tzenzhongguo  Liberators? So terrorism is liberation? "Taiwan govt is puppet govt just like Japan & South Korea." You just mad that China's economy will never reach their level of per capita wealth. China's economy is STRUGGLING. The average Chinese will forever be much poorer than the Koreans, Taiwanese, Japanese. And defending Assad of Syria who dropped chemical weapons on his people?? nice...... It really does prove your values.

  732.  @Oldmanplum  The most powerful and advanced countries were able to come together and form a system that drastically decreased the amount of war and invasions in the world nearly 100 years ago because society evolved. The world mostly the same from 1000BC to 1400AD. Then there began to be more advance weapons and more support for ideas and thinking-- the renaissance. The progress was slow but you slowly saw early forms of capitalism that changed societies. Capitalism ideas likely spurred from the effects of the renaissance. Then the big changes happened with the Industrial revolution. People began to concentrate around cities creating more opportunity to share ideas. People also began to get wealthier and new industries meant less and less to Kings as people who weren't in the noble class began to become more influential and this included workers. With all these thoughts about democracy and rights, when WW2 happened and much of the world realized weapons were too powerful, they were in position to come together and forma a system that drastically decreased the amount of war and invasions. Wars of conquest all but disappeared in the west and other parts of the world. Most wars after that became wars over territorial rights among bordering stats or a civil war. And a lot of the civil wars were drawn along the lines of communist vs non-communist. After the collapse of the Soviet Union, those civil wars became far less common as communism began to die out. What did increase was the rise of Islamic groups starting civil wars and starting in 2011 a rise of the people against authoritarian governments such as the color revolutions. But it's the series of events that evolved society to get to the point where the world could decrease war.
    2
  733.  @jayshen84  Yes, that is why few empires if any lasted as long as the Romans. China is tricky because you basically had a bunch of different states in the region but all of the same culture ('Chinese') so when one got taken down, the replacement continued the culture. But Roman Republic and Empire basically held from 700BC or so to 1453 AD. But in terms of true power, they were probably from 250BC to 1200AD so that's better range if you want to include the Byzantines. Many of the historically popular Empires had a short stay as powerful empire before collapse. 100 - 300 years seems very common in the middle ages and before. Something's changed since the middle ages with many countries or states around in the 1500's still around today.

  734. People who life under constant threat tend to normalize it and act like it doesn’t exist. So no surprise at the end of the video South Koreans act like there is no concerns about North Korea much like Mexicans live their lives as if cartel violence doesn’t exist even though it does exist.

  735. There is lots of good bread in the US in major cities but they cost at twice what it cost in Europe. Besides the fact that europe has economies of scale and strong competition for fresh bread (since almost almost everyone buys fresh bread a few times a week), there is also a price expectation in europe for bread. As a few other pointed out a contributing factor may also be that US living more spread out (especially suburbia and rural America) means a significant number of Americans limit their shopping. This may have influenced culture as a whole because I live in a densely populated area of Chicago and there really aren’t any corner bakeries near me — the large grocery stores have bakeries but they are 10min and 15 min walk away from me. In Europe these small bakery shops are everywhere!
    2
  736. Good quality bread in the US costs twice as much as it does in Europe in part because economies of scale and price expectations. In Europe since everyone buys bread a few times a week and they have expectations the price will be below a certain amount, you end up with good bread at half the price of the US for comparable bread
    2
  737.  @juancarlosnegron2358  the part that is true is that most Americans buy fake bread and fake bread is far more common. However, most large grocery stores (supermarkets) now have bakeries in them. Most ethnic grocery stores have Bakeries. One issue is that because it’s still a minority of the people that buy fresh bread, US doesn’t have economy of scales and has high price expectations which lead to fresh bread prices about twice what they are in Europe from my experience

  749. The massive scale of what China is doing in corruption cannot be matched by others. And from this report, it’s clear the government of China is involved in some capacity. When there are no checked and balances to Chinas government, they will be able to get away with far more. Western organizations looking to make deals with Guyana are also not interested in regime change, w8mä0.

  757.  @pepelepew1227  never defended the Uyghur camps? But then did like typical .50 RMB soldier and said “but look at 1800’s USA!”. So you agree China has camps of Uyghurs that are horrible atrocity and must be stopped?

Closer economic ties with India and Vietnam are needed. Thailand too. I believe the US is the largest export market for all and i know for Vietnam it’s not even close — over 30% of exports are to the US. That means they are slowly replacing some of Chinas production.

  787. This is why more and more nations are forming alliances. You have NATO expanding plus NATO allied countries that will likely be treated much like a NATO country.

  808.  @arcqian143  "We respect our partners " Funny guy. China is perhaps the least respected country. "Australia had been a trusted partner of China. China imports a large amount of resources from Australia and also brings significant investment to Australia." China is so terrible that even talking about investigating covid (which China lied about for a while) leads China to cut off most trade. Real bully. "now this Asutralian government appears to be de-escalating the conflict" Certainly not going to be the bully China that everyone hates. Why do you think all of China's neighbors to the east hate China? Vietnma, Taiwan, South Korea, Japan and even down to Australia and NZ??

  832. Economy is mixed but inflation is indeed an issue. That is a big driver of the unpopularity but also the major factor is the polarization of politics. Biden is one of the lowest approval but trump was one as well and Obama was below average approval. The approval from opposition party voters is shrinking and shrinking meaning almost all the approval is coming from your own party. Biden is under 40%, Trump was mostly around 42%, Obama was mostly 45% but go back to Clinton and he was often around 60%. Reagan was often above 60%.

  833. China isn’t pragmatic — they just aren’t THAT d*mb. They already enabled the invasion with their support and have caused irreparable damage to their relationship with the west and their economy (the west is more motivated and in process of de-coupling from China) but helping out Russia as it sinks is just too much for them.

  834.  @caspermac  yes, the research on universities literally show the US universities are among the top in the world. The 3 most popular ranking have between 30-40 of the top 100 universities in the US with only a handful in China. So, why are you being so ignorant about this? This video even discussed one such ranking — are stupid enough to say the the these rankings don’t show US dominating when the video literally describes one of those rankings

At 21 it can improve but it’s not as bad as you say and you are incorrect to suggest demographics isn’t the biggest issue

Cuban missile crisis is something uneducated people bring up. That was only a few years after the nuclear weapons became a thing and it wasn’t known if nuclear powers would attack each other. We have 60 more years of experience regarding that and we realized MAD (mutual assured destruction) was going to prevent nukes from being used Liz Do you really think the Russia doesn’t have nukes in subs in striking distance of the US?!?!

  847.  @kurosai006ichigo3  " i am aware Chinese currency is not high" And 20 years of China's growth, yet it hasn't moved much. Just 2.7% of currency reserves in the world, about half of the UK Pound Sterling and less than half of the JP Yen. 1/9 that of the Euro. >Nor was US currency high before they started globalizing Except the US was a big part in creating stable currency that can be easily traded. OP described exactly why people don't want to use the Yuan but you ignored it for some reason. If it's a free exchange rate, not easily bought/sold, and the See See Pee will punish people for the smallest infractions (see what they did to Australia and NZ), why would anyone use it unless they are bad and worried about being sanctioned.
    2
  848. "As any other country, China will act in self-interest " Sure, but that seems like an excuse for any self-interest. Their interest are dangerous to the world which is also why it shouldn't have been a surprised they didn't remain neutral. >While I don‘t expect the US to decline to a point where the Chinese and Russians can overtake the US, the US‘ influence will be challenged. Not just from the Russians and Chinese but potentially from the Europeans themselves, especially when you look at China. Europe will be the real challenger but that's good. China and Russia will have trouble actually making serious allies and what Russia has done in Ukraine and how China has acted towards Europe and others in East Asia, it actually strengthened 'the west'. What China and Russia are doing are driving more countries to strengthen their relationship with the US and/or west. Vietnam & Phillipines but you can see concerns about China from Malaysia and Indonesia as well which will only move them more towards the west. But there will be a collection of countries that will join Rus-CN, mostly a few authoritarian middle east and authoritarian African countries.
    2
  849. That's why many firms already are moving out of China or have backup plans. Your going to see more and more western companies with footprints in China continue to look at other countries as options -- which is why many are turning to Vietnam, India and Mexico. Even Chinese companies are doing the same!! Many of them are opening up facilities elsewhere just in case there are sanctions or other economic penalties against China in the future.

  853. Dark Brandon actually made smarter moves -- he essentially sanctioned critical components and got SEVERAL other countries to hope on board as well. Trump was horrible because he just blindly put tariffs on things that mostly hurt US consumers while doing little to slow down the important sectors of China. And worse, he did it alone without the help of our allies. Those allies weren't going to help because Trump also put tariffs on them or threatened tarrifs!

  856.  @drumpfdon760  and if AI was that great, Chinas growth wouldn’t be slowing down as much as it is now. And when AI, gets better, japan and South Korea and other countries with much higher labor rates and similar demographic issues will be more likely to maximize the use of AI. There is less incentives to use AI when you still have hundreds of millions of Chinese inland that are very poor and on par with Africa.
    2
  857.  @drumpfdon760  Chinas gdp growth is in large part declining working age. The working age population peaked in 2014 and since then gdp growth has been declining. It’s also seen reduction in growth due to moving into middle income, housing crisis, debt crisis, and COVID lockdowns. This year will be the 2nd year in 3 years to have gdp growth under 4%. Countries are decouping from China so they are missing out on a lot of business that could have offset some of the other factors. It’s 3 year gdp growth 2020-2022 will be 4.6% annual gdp growth, far lower than the 6-7% it had in 2017-2019 and far lower than the 10%+ from 2000-2010.
    2
  858.  @J_X999  you might be overestimating AI? That’s an understatement. Maybe in the future it becomes that productive but if it becomes that productive I see japan and South Korea and other nations with much higher labor costs than China and with similar demographic issues all joining the AI path. I think you’re missing my main point — I’m saying growth is all relative. So while China can avoid the complete stagnation (0% gdp growth) that Japan saw (AI wasn’t viable in the 90’s), it will still see declining growth relative to other countries. For example, without AI china might have 2% gdp growth but with AI, it might 4%. But that 2% boost from AI will also be seen by japan and South Korea and whoever.

    2
  861.  @J_X999  I don’t care about Japan in this context. I’m simply pointing out that if AI were that good, other countries and especially those with demographic issues AND high wages would be on it as soon as AI was the solution you describe. I brought up Chinas declining GDP growth to demonstrate that AI isn’t remotely close to the solution you describe
    2
  862.  @J_X999  Japan has failed to switch? Maybe because the AI you mention isn’t advance enough to do what you say it will do? Low labor productivity is exactly why Japan would be using the AI if it was as good as you say

  863.  @JordanHarbingerShow  YT removes the most innocent comments. And there is no way of telling what triggered it
    2
  864.  @JordanHarbingerShow  there is one YouTube user (agapp11able) that I saw frequently defend everything about China and when we traded sources on Uyghurs, he used Chinese state media as a source and some random Twitter account that had a picture of a map that was proof no g8noc1de in Xinjiang. I gave him sources and he dismissed it all because of western bias even when one of my sources (ASPI) actually had picture and video evidence of China staging videos such as those he showed me from Chinese state media. I googled his username and found out he’s from Russia and almost all his comments online are defending China or Russia even in remote forums like a Kazakhstan website. He too is unable to criticize either China or Russia — not even one criticism when I asked him to prove he’s not paid. He has since deleted a lot of his comments because I caught him lying — he stated in YT he was Ukrainian (then went on to criticize Ukraine in a video about Russia invading Ukraine) but elsewhere he stated he was Russian and he lives in Russia. Caught him on that and he’s deleted some of his comments. Russia and China are certainly working hard to control the public narrative.
    2
  865.  @JordanHarbingerShow  it’s the same thing and actually worse on Reddit. It’s full of so many CCP $hi||s using the same tactics as those on YT. On Reddit, those Wvumaos are also joined by edgy anti US crowd or tankies — the difference is easy to spot be used the Wvumao states only positive things about China but won’t acknowledge the bad parts of the Chinese government while tankies will openly admit some of Chinas bad such as oppression of the people but they defend it by saying it’s just as bad in the west. The vvumao will state “Chinas isn’t oppressive. The govt controls the media to protect the people from false information”. The tankie or Edgy anti west redditor would say “yeah, It sucks China does censor a lot of stuff but the west is just as bad with censorship and the corporate media also lies to you”. I don’t understand they the CCP $hi||s can’t at least fake some criticism of China — it’s such a dead giveaway when they defend everything about China and the CCP.
    2
  866.  @JordanHarbingerShow  you’re interview with Clint watts (former fbi?) and laowhy (c-milk, Matt) are very relevant to this here. I follow plenty of YouTubers that engage in either world politics or global information such as this Channel, real life lore and Polymatter among others. If the topic is China, it gets flooded by the same types defending China and not once have any of them been able to acknowledge what’s going on in Xinjiang. It seems like it’s a playbook they are all using and likely many are paid by the CCP to influence the discussions or they are drones that watch CCP media then repeat what the CCP says. But the fact they are unable to make any criticism of China and use the same talking points suggests it’s mostly coordinated, at least the obvious pro PRC commentators.
    2
  867.  @JordanHarbingerShow  but Afghanistan and Iraq and Syria and slavery and black lives matters and corporate media!! Don’t you see, these are the reasons why China is better!!….they love their whataboutism as much as they love denying anything horrible is going on in Xinjiang.
    2
  868.  @JordanHarbingerShow  that is their tactic and it’s easy to spot. They keep moving goal posts or they state false info disguised as factual then move to another talking point while you fact check their claim. Rinse and repeat. No surprise that I was in another discussion with him in another chain of comments and he wouldn’t acknowledge what’s going on in Xinjiang. Same thing happened with the other guy in this thread defending China, ChinaSongsCollection. These “people” operate exactly the same with the same tactics.

  874.  @jayyy3456  wow, you just keep repeating CCP talking points with whataboutism!! Ok, don’t want to call it genocide, do you agree it’s cultural genocide? And do you agree they have concentration camps of innocent Muslims? It’s obvios a wumao like you can’t acknowledge any of that but now others can see your a wumao (CCP shill).
    2
  875.  @jayyy3456  hey wumao, you do realize that western loans usually come with stipulations of these authoritarian dictators making democracy reforms while Chinas loans with the strings attached of defending Chinas concentration camps and genocide. Let me guess — you don’t believe the Uighurs are being genocided via concentration camps?
    2
  876.  @tawandamachona4481  wow, typical wumao can’t even acknowledge that China has concentration camps as part of a genocide. Why can’t you acknowledge it? It’s highly relevant since the video pointed out that most of the countries defending Chinas concentration camps were from Africa. But a wumao (CCP shill) like you isn’t allowed to acknowledge the concentration camps.
    2
  877.  @tawandamachona4481  Wumao won’t acknowledge genocide and concentration camps in Xinjiang China. What a surprise!! The point is to demonstrate what China is asking of its loan recipients but a wumao isn’t allowed to acknowledge the concentration camps and genocide.

  878.  @Naveen-tq7cg  "I would be open to tariffs on highly polluting products. A flat tariff rate on a nation based on per capita emissions however makes close to no sense." It would have to be a flat tariff for all polluting products based on China's (or whoever else) NOT enacting environmental regulations that match the west and NOT following through with those environmental regulations if they were enacted. So China has to pass a min level of environmental regulations and actually follow through on the policy to avoid the tariffs. That would be easier than actually trying to calculate the emissions produced by each product You mentioned the west is just exporting it's pollution so this would mostly solve that specific issue about exporting pollution. We aren't talking about individual pollutions - that isn't what is exported.
    2
  879.  @Naveen-tq7cg  "The fact that Beijing/Moscow bring these points up doesn't automatically discredit them" no, but it's not true as you descirbed it and it says a lot about you repeating talking points from them. " but it's an active decision to outsource your garbage." And yet China has worse regulation than even the US. So for the same good made, China is polluting a lot more. Maybe you would agree that China is only allowed to sell goods to other countries if it meets their environmental standards? Or at least on goods that go to the west? So a tariff on all Chinese goods that don't meet western environmental standards? You agree with that?

  880.  @Naveen-tq7cg  Doubts. You are repeating Beijing ad Moscow talking points.

  881.  @sjv9147s  there are many ways the US can punish Saudi Arabia. They can buy Chinese weapons but those are inferior. Money isn’t an issue for Saudi Arabia so this will hurt Saudi Arabia. The US can also politically isolate KSA. The security Saudi Arabia receives from the US can also be withheld. the KSA will take time to find new weapons and someone new to protect them. The only large concerns IMO is that Saudi Arabia helps offset irans influence in the region. That’s why US wouldn’t want to destroy the relationship. But hey, if Iran has a revolution and throws out the ayatollah, Saudi Arabia becomes even less useful for the US

  882.  @Venezolano410  I’m Mexican (born in Mexico but raised in the US). I’ve traveled to 10 Latin American countries. I can tell you that there are indeed a lot of cultural similarities among many Spanish speaking Latin American countries. Again, this is a comparison to other regions. Are you saying that Costa Rica and Mexico are less similar than Niger and Uganda? Please answer and don’t ignore (which you will because you will realize you have no argument).
    2
  883.  @jayl878  that probably won’t be enough but I suspect that’s what it will start with. Higher Taxes on higher end goods and higher taxes on the wealthy and middle class. But ultimately they will need a higher sales taxes across the board
    2
  884. What’s their way out of this? They will have to find a new tax revenue generator but that will end up slowing economic growth so best case is they don’t collapse but just see very normal growth going forward like 2-3% gdp growth rather than 5% originally forecast for 2022-2030.

It’s up to china to attack the US. Furthermore, you are aware the US has by far the superior navy? Add in that Japan (arguably 3rd strongest navy) would join and maybe even France and England (so 4 of the top 5 or 6 navyies). Yes, China can disrupt shipping but unless they attack the US/Japanese/allies ships, they won’t have a true blockade. Do you think the US would just not send any aid through blockade? And how will China enforce that blockade? I don’t know why you people refuse to just say it — China will indeed need to attack US ships to have a blockade.

  889.  @emperorjonz9590  don’t forget to let us know what is happening in Xinjiang so we know empeoror Jonz isn’t a puppet of the PRC
    2
  890.  @Verpal  emperor Jonz is a Chinese govt Vumao. “Abusing the freedom of navigation”…he thinks the US and taiwans Allie’s will simply not go to Taiwan because China has hundred ships surrounding Taiwan? The US already regularly sends ships in areas that China and others illegally claim so that freedom of navigation is ensured. The US and it’s allies will not allow China to claim all waters around Taiwan so China will literally have to fire on American ships to claim the waters.
    2
  891.  @emperorjonz9590  “abusing freedom of navigation”…you mean by attacking American ships that will force their way into Taiwan to support Taiwan. I don’t think you are even thinking this through — you seem to suggest that China will out large scale ships preventing American ships from passing through all around Taiwan as if the US would then not go through. Let me ask you, just to make sure you aren’t extremely pro China bias “emperor Jonz”, what is going on in Xinjiang? Would you admit it something that starts with ‘gên’ and ends in ‘ocide’?
    2
  892. A blockade of Taiwan would mean China would have to attack the US and it’s Allie’s. So at that point, China has lost.

  893.  @Liboch  Singapore for sure has big English rate. I’ve seen videos from there and almost everyone speaks English. I’m still surprised with Malaysia. China — it’s tough to get around if you don’t speak Chinese. I don’t feel China is going to have a huge population of good English speakers anytime soon. They are very closed off and nationalistic compared to other counties. And with 1.4 billion people, they have a big enough local market to not be forced to speak English. In fact all of east Asia seems to have very low numbers of English speakers.
    2
  894.  @Liboch  so looked it up on Wikipedia. The countries you listed have a higher percentage of English speakers (I’m surprised Malaysia is so high at 62% but the others I knew where higher) but total population of English speakers, India is second the world and more than all the countries you listed combined. Wikipedia says India has 130 million speakers and China only has 10 million. They even note that that there is a often a cited “300 million” but that is for learners, on 10 million can actually speak it. I’ve been to China many times - almost nobody speaks more than a few broken words in English though the youth from good schools in in major cities seemed to have a much higher rate of English.

China (like Russia) thought the war would be over in days or weeks which would allow China to benefit with a Russian quick win.

So rising innovative company is indeed best served with the entrepreneur (it’s his vision the company the is based on) but once the company either is no longer innovate (becomes just part of the establishment corporation) or has shifted focus to innovation in something different, the original entrepreneur isn’t as important and a good ceo could do as good or better.

  900. Well, those people you named are but a few and the research still holds. I think what matters is where on their rise is the company when the entrepreneur leaves-dies-retires. If the company is still rising, the entrepreneur gone will have a negative impact for sure. If the company is already peaked, I don’t think the entrepreneur adds much. So Gates stepping down when he did in his 50’s was not a big deal. If Zuckerberg were replaced today that could be positive. So long as the company is no longer an innovative company, the entrepreneur adds little value compared to another accomplished CEO stepping in

  901. In the US, there needs to be an increase of people going to community colleges. If you’re not American, not sure how to describe them. They function kind of like a trade school but also can be used to replaced your first two years in a university by taking the basic level courses for cheaper and close to home. The associate degree one gets from a community college cms be used for many things such as nurse, technicians, paralegal, etc.

  903. Back In 2021, I met this nice Venezuelan lady in Playa Del Carmen Mexico who owned the Venezuelan restaurant we were dining at. She told a similar story. She left Venezuela around 2008-2010 knowing things were going to get worse…and wow, they did.

  906.  @Hfil66  "To say that the voucher is valid for any school does not mean the school cannot deny the student." Except they cannot deny the student. If a voucher is valid anywhere, then that 'free school' (private school) is not denying students based on whatever reasons you made up.

  907.  @KittenCritters  of course they don’t measure tons of stuff in a short a video but the research discusses it. And on the part where OP is trying y to say that private schools are just turning down problematic schools, that appears to be false as a broad statement.

  908.  @oakstrong1  Did you not watch the video? Anyone can use their vouchers to any school. You cannot deny them. These private schools are still heavily regulated that way.

  916.  @barrettokarate  Mexico imports most of its meat. The gmo claim you made makes no sense. And there are Mexican tacos in LA. Taste the same as Mexico they just don’t serve the dozen other cuts that are for poorest people historically like eye balls, cheeks, head, etc. the top 10% tacos I’m Mexico are better but the top 30% tacos in LA are equal to or Better than the average taco in Mexico

  918.  @ChaposShoota  northern Mexico is mostly steak. My family is from central / northern Mexico and it’s equal beef and pork. It’s also 80% corn tortillas and 20% flour. If I went to the border states, I heard it’s even more flour tortillas used there. But in Los Angeles, you find lots of Al pastor. It’s one of the most popular tacos. I’ve traveled all over Mexico and the popular tacos in Mexico are also made in the US in areas with large Mexican population. Same tastes. The differences is mostly all the other meat choices that aren’t made much in the US or at all. In the US they tend to have maybe up to 7 meat options that are commonly found. In Mexico they use every cut of meat so a cheek, head (cabeza, and many others you will rarely find the US.

  919.  @ocsjc13  you’re right, it’s not like Mexicans born and raised In Mexico go to Los Angeles and make the same tacos they did in Mexico, right? Right?

  921. China cannot be trusted. There is a reason China doesn’t have an true strong Allies. Edit: “strong ally” I meant an ally that is actually going to help China when it matters.

Exalts the Russian nation above all else 2. Russia is highly centralized with Putin as the autocratic leader 3.

  936.  @far_centrist  "he fact that you keep resorting to "education"" How is that you have such a strong opinion that the estimates are wrong yet you do not even understand how they do estimates? Hmm.......
    2
  937.  @far_centrist  " think you are forgetting that this estimate is not on the low side, but on generous side" based on what? The Rus state media? They give 20k as a low estimate BTW. " In fact, the 30k estimates will only be real if the purported "human wave tactics" is actually being employed" there's literally released footage of that. Why do you think that 4 months of fighting would lead to 20-30k?
    2
  938.  @far_centrist  They verified 20,000 and with estimate it's actually 50k. Casulties are usually about 4.5 of that so 50,000 times 4.5 is 225,000. That's a reason they are estimating over 200,000.
    2
  939.  @far_centrist  How is Far Centrist this lacking in basic education? To not understand how estimates are determined? "But here's the truth: the 20k-30k number came from the research done on surveillance of graveyard, combing rus social media of the soldiers family, verifiable picture evidence of their dead body and other verifiable sources" No, the 20k-30kis just for Bakhmut fighting. Media Zona is the one verifying as much as possible the total just as you described.

  944. The Us wouldn’t invade Canada over that. And China sphere or Russian sphere is to be worried. Russia just invaded a peaceful country that was no threat and China has supported Russia before and during the invasion. By your logic, the US should be invading every country that isn’t in the US sphere.

  945.  @alexsilent5603  Poland receives about $10 billion a year from EU which helps but it’s GDP grows significantly higher than each year at nearly 5% per year 2010-2019. You Russian trolls are hilarious. So why was Poland so poor when it was under Russian control?!? Lol
    2
  946.  @alexsilent5603  russia is the only one of the post Soviet republic’s who has a growing economy? Russians economy has shrank since 2013. Estonia went from poor to the richest Eastern European country. Latvia is also doing well. The non soviet but under soviet control nations like Poland and Hungary are much wealthier today than 30 years ago.

  948.  @Telemarthon  the US helping Zelensky after Russia invaded in 2014 is why the US is at fault for russian invading Ukraine again in 2022? I’m just glad Russias economy and future are being destroyed — and that Russians will suffer for supporting Putin.

  950.  @marshallmintz7564  “certain freedoms”. Lots more freedoms in the west. And the west is also significantly wealthier as Russia is a middle income nation with lots of poverty. Russia would be a poor country if not for its natural resources and would be a high income nation if they weren’t so corrupt and incompetent.

  953. It’s not weirds. Wars increase popularity of leaders and since Putin controls all media, the stories all describe the war with Russia propaganda.

  954.  @kshen7485  "Speech is much more strictly limited and restricted in America" Wumao outing himself. So in China where you can't openly criticize the leader or in Russia where you can't openly criticize the war both with prison consequences, speech is more free?? Wow, you get 50 cents for each post? Or are you getting Putin money?

  955.  @Telemarthon  North Korea invaded South Korea BTW. Afghanistan attacked the US first. Cold War era is a different era and Russia was just as busy.
    2
  956.  @alexsilent5603  so you’re argument is if there is some issue from a small group, then it’s okay to invade? Well, russia interfered with 2016 US election so Russia should be invaded. Oligarchs have stolen money from the people so it’s okay to invade Russia. There are terrorist in parts of Russia so it’s okay to invade Russia. Lol, you Russian trolls come up with the lamest defenses. Oh, you don’t know anyone imprisoned for saying anything the government doesn’t like? There are thousands who are arrested and many still detained. And news organizations had to shut down because they could face imprisonment of up to 15 years — do they not tell you about this in Russia?

  957.  @kshen7485  so, are you a wumao working for Russia?
    2
  958.  @alexsilent5603  hey, you Russian agents shouldn’t make it so obvious by using the Russian flag. Your source is the FSB, which is the Russian government. The same Russian government said that Zelensky is a Nazi despite being Jewish. The same Russian government that will send you to prison for up to 15 years for saying anything that the government doesn’t like (“fake news law”). And the excuse you gave for invading Ukraine was an attack on a Russian post which Putin never brought up in his speech justifying the war a day before. Why do you believe everything your government says when the world knows it’s a lie?

  961. As a Mexican American, I can tell you the government (or any leftist govt like current and next president) are generally anti west and anti US but people are generally very pro US. The problem is that a large minority in the leftist wing of Mexico are loud on their anti west / US opinions while the rest of the leftist are pro west but quiet so a leftist president will always at least talk anti west/US.
    2
  962.  @teddy.d174  I agree. Sticks to facts and makes great argument for his analysis. And it’s looking at nuances rather than just one 15 minute video trying to cover a whole months worth of action in the war and conflict.
    2
  963.  @madtechnocrat9234 except 3 years ago it was about keeping Ukraine alive. And if you watch. The video (which u didn’t), you would know the process of determine where a red line might be. Unfortunately the video didn’t discuss if red lines move more with smaller incremental steps taken by the opponent vs going directly to the same spot and skipping steps. So if a true red line is at 60 out 100, would moving in increments of 10 move the true red line to 70 as you get closer to 60? And if in day one you move to 60, would that actually cross the true red line?
    2
  964. I know it’s a lot of work to put out videos but I’m glad you are doing videos more frequent than every 2-3 weeks you were doing before Jan 2024. Great stuff. Ukraine-Russia, Israel-Hamas, China-(insert any neighbor), etc make for some good topics that can draw views. Plenty of other wars, crisis, conflicts but I don’t know how many of those can bring in viewers— so people care much about Sudan? Ethiopia? Somalia? Yemen (minus the attacks on boats)?
    2
  965. I honesetly don't think Israel will be set that far back wtih Saudi Arabia and other mid-east countries it was building closer relations with. But I do think the extent of how Israel has responded in Gaza is alienating it more from the west, especially the US which feels like it's been played by Israel.
    2
  966.  @barrygillis  it’s not imaginary. Come on man. As someone who has played sports, it works. But there might be a difference in what we each are thinking with “yelling at”. Yelling positively vs yelling negatively is a huge difference.
    2
  967. 12:01 FYI, you asked the question differently in the poll. Here you mentioned that it’s an automatic loss if if the larger event happened so if you place 5 soldiers /km, the invasion will be 100% successful. Without that context, answers between 3-9 could have made sense if they were able to slow down the invasion for support (additional soldiers) to arrive
    2
  968. That analogy was fun-gible
    2
  969. Ukraine is in danger of losing future military and financial aid if the gains will be just a few km each offensive. I think this analysis didn’t focus on much on “gains needed to keep funding from the west coming and to keep support for the war domestically”. Explaining just what the expectations should have been based on military situation is only part of it and IMO not as important as explaining what gains Ukraine actually does need to win the war. If this war will just be a few small km each year, Ukraine will lose support for continued financial and military aid from its allies.

  970.  @katieee4915  even the comment you left me isn’t showing up. I know talking about it often leads to it now appearing. I’m trying use words that might be okay but I bet this won’t appear as well. Or probably because you used the “tr0..” word. Let me know if mine shows up.
    2
  971.  @robotnikkkk001  how is Moscow? Must pay well for you to argue that Russias invasion of Ukraine should be accepted just so Russia doesn’t have closer ties to China.
    2
  972. @judithcampbell1704, Hamas builds tunnels under hospitals, schools, and residential buildings while also blocking people from evacuating. All of this is to use civilians as human shields. It seems you have falling for the Hamas information war if you are not aware of this.

  974.  @jasonl8326  Yeah, Putin having Chechens in Ukraine really proves how one can split a group and get one of the groups to ally with you.
    2
  975.  @ShaharHarshuv  Sort of. Except Israel didn't put in power the elected leader but the elected leader is a lot more moderate and no longer having elections. Hard to tell if Israel has bought him or if the Fatah leader actually does believe that the path to peace must include denouncing t8rror1sm and preventing it where possible. But regardless of how that situation is set up, it's ultimately what Israel would want in Gaza.
    2
  976. I never thought of that but yeah, that might be an option. Russia was brutal on Chechnya and terrorism was a major problem out of there. Then Putin put in a puppet regime so there are a lot of similarities.
    2
  977. This was so soon after the destruction that William Spaniel may have been in on it!! In all seriousness, a major counter offense in that region was never going to happen this summer IMO but it does give the ability for Russia to take more troops out of there and send them elsewhere. I expect to see more attacks within Russia to counter this and keep spreading Russian forces.

  992. 25:10 he talks about old school Chicano and new schools Chicano. He’s old school and he described the new school correctly.

    2
  995.  @catonpillow  Lterally a poll among many of these rather than cherry picked and the polls showed a forecast revised down by 0.5%. From Reuters: >China 2023 GDP growth forecast cut to 5.0%, 4.5% in 2024, Reuters poll shows > China's economy will grow less than previously thought this year and next as a struggling property market dogs what was once the world's growth engine, according to a Reuters poll of economists who said the risks were skewed to further downgrades.

They concluded Evidence of such a surge (pro war) also showed up in a survey by one of Russia’s most reputable independent pollsters, the Levada Center. The strong majority of Russians support the war. Levada also tested the polling by separating the group into 2 —- one gets asked how many of the 3 times do they support (gay marriage, monthly allowance for the poor, abortion) and another gets those same 3 plus one extra question — support for the actions of Russia in Ukraine. The difference in both groups will give you the % who support the war.

  1007. Despite me hating the Iranian govt, I would love to visit Iran! So much culture and history. I went to Hungary and China and i despise those govts— a govt is not the same as the people and cultur, even more so in a country like Iran where there true leaders aren’t elected by the people. And the US was run by a mad orange man so I understand.

  1011.  @pillowtalker8398  Peter doesn't make the best videos but he does cover topics that aren't frequently talked about. One interesting video was about japanese that moved to LA to be part of the mexican American Chicano culture. He also spend a few days with the Amish in Ohio which was very interesting. I believe he's a one man operation (might get support from his significant other) so he doesn't have time & resources to make the videos as exciting as they could be with proper editing or proper planning.

He went to Los Angeles before and I just looked him and what luck....he's in LA or was recently there again. Peter Santenello does more unique stories like Drew but with more edge. For example, here are the last few videos he's released: 1. Inside Watts CA Hood - Imperial Court Projects 2. Inside Los Angeles Cowboy Culture (Compton) 3. At America’s Most Lawless Border (With Arizona Sheriff) his other recent videos of LA include Chicago Culture with an OG and Samoan Gang Life in LA.

  1022.  @rylandrc  I did figure out somewhat hack on phone when I kept getting all the ads. I'm getting a lot more "1 of 2 ads" with the first being a full 15 second! I realized one day when I cast my phone YT to my TV at the beginning when the ad is playing, it just skips the ad! So with all these longer and more frequent ads, I tried something new -- if I get a full 15 second ad or "1 of 2 ads", i just quickly connect my phone to my TV, wait for it to connect (takes like 2 seconds), then disconnect and the video starts up on my phone without any commercials! But I'm starting to notice I'm getting hit with a short ad a couple minutes into watching (2-4 minutes) so maybe they try to correct for that.
    2
  1023.  @rylandrc  I've had the increased ad for at least 2 months but maybe it was still part of Holidays? Before last week, I used my iphone for 95% of youtube and my tv or computer for the other 5%. But I've been using my computer (with 27" monitor) a lot more the past few weeks. I'll get the ad blocker on my computer and I"ll look into apps for phone usage.

And comments no longer showing dislikes? Then YT removes so many comments and it's hard to know why. I'm also getting far more YT commercials which I believe might be related to me watching more YT (they know I will keep tuning in). I'm seriously going to look at Nebula or whatever the service is that most of these educational videos are on.

Yes, and proportionate to the era, Swiss spent a lot more defense during that time.

Out of curioisity, do you tihnk the world would be better if USSR spread more into Europe and had more v@ss@al states around the world and more countries became communist?

  1033.  @skydragon23101979  In summary, here are the contradictions and bad arguments made by Choon: 1. Unable to say why all those countries in East Asia and ASEAN want support against CN. 2. ASEAN is cooperating and not coerced into cooperating with CN because cooperation only happens if not coerced....but Europe is forced into cooperating with US because cooperation can be coerced. 3. Without a source or quote from ASEAN, ASEAN said they are clearly do not want external interference regarding their affairs all while ASEAN is indeed working with the US. 4. Argued that the starting point to the East Vietnam Sea is whatever position CN takes and THEN one has to discuss/negotiate with CN. 5. Blamed Philippines for CN attacking their boats even thought an international community voted against CN. 6. Is interested in defending CN & RU while pretending to care what’s best for Europe. 7. All of your arguments are that CN is right about everything and thus anyone that doesn't bow to their demands, it will be their fault if CN acts with military or other means.

  1034.  @strateeg32  "Not to mention we as Europe basically demanded the whole world to get involved and sanction Russia" That's the biggest problem in his statement. Europe shouldn't get involved in other parts of the world but the world should get involved with Europe. Well, the other major issue is that he basically gave Xi a tool to use to get support by saying Europe should stay out and it's not anyone's business to get involved in other countries' affairs.

Great videos but it also means I’m only going to watch the videos on topics that most interest me. Might check out this winter war video.

  1042. If Putin doesn’t attack Finland, it means Putin lied that a primary reason he invaded Ukraine is because he didn’t want NATO at his border. If one argues that Putin did indeed attack Ukraine because of NATO concerns but can’t attack Finland because the Ukraine invasion didn’t go well, well it just proves Putin already lost the war. The purpose was to prevent expansion of NATO but instead it led to further expansion and a more unified stronger NATO. It’s clear to me the reason to invade Ukraine was all about a land grab and wanting control of the former Soviet state because he wants to recreate the Russian empire

  1051. Reserves were used to prop up the ruble for a while which was being funded by the high prices of gas in early and mid 2022. Price of gas dropped meaning they can't replenish as much of the reserves which means reserves are now declining to the point where they can't use as much of it to prop up the ruble. Not really surprising when you consider all the factors.

  1077.  @nikomann88  the protectionisms and tariffs, especially export tariffs in the long run, prevent industry from growing. it just maintains a status quo. The export tariffs are 100% a bad idea as they kill exports, which means local industries will not be able to grow. Import tariffs are mostly a bad idea, because industry requires the import of many goods To produce something. Import terriffs are also responded to in other countries by tariffs from on that country. I just don’t understand why people stick to failing policies when they can just look at what many countries in Asia have done over the last 50 years to have much better success. one can also just look at Chile in the past 30 to 40 years or Panama and the Dominican republic in the past 30 years..

We 100% have seen Russian aggression to many of it's neighbors and towards it owns people (Chechnya, reduction in rights to average Russian, etc). Russia invaded Georgia and took a big chunk via it's proxy govt there. Then did the same in Ukraine in 2014...and in 2022. All while threatening to use a nuclear weapon many times which is a sign of a government that cannot be trusted and has aggression in their goals.

Wagner (now deceased) chief even said Ukraine posed no threat to Russia before Russia invaded in 2022. How is this 99.9% NATO plan when all of this is purely from Russia itself being an aggressive state? You logic can be used to defend even Adolph. . Russia is aggressive (but completely downplayed in the video) and bullies it's neighbors and former puppet states. Those states are worried and join alliances for protection. Russia then sees those alliances as threats and thus has 'valid concerns' which they then use to follow through on the aggressiveness they have displayed.

  1110.  @letsgoooooo6628  ​​⁠so natos original purpose was to contain the authoritarian aggressive Russia that took almost all of Easter Europe and forced it under its authoritarian control…then those Eastern European countries get independence in 90’s and fear Russia. Russia invaded its former puppet states and bullies others. Yet somehow it’s not Russia fault that most of Eastern Europe wanted to join nato to protect themselves against the authoritarian aggressive Russia?!

  1111.  @Bayard1503  China is in a better position to go green since they are growing economically and needing more and more energy. North America and Europe already built up their power plants and infrastructure so going green often means having to ditch some infrastructure already built or it's only going to go green on some of the more limited new power that is needed.

  1112.  @donderstorm1845  "i don't think this is the case for China at all. they care about what the public thinks." Which is why Xi made himself an autorcratic leader, censors so much, and they don't allow true choice (democracy). "they care about what the public thinks. public opinion surveys are massive in China." Only enough for them to know how to c0n/tr0l the people with the information they allow and info they spread.

  1113.  @recoil53  I agree with your statement on autocratic states. Autocratic states can get action started quicker but often not the best action. And once they go down a certain path, they are less likely to change paths because there isn't as much pressure on them to change as in a democracy and because the interest of autocratic leaders are mostly about keeping their autocratic power and not what the people think.

  1114.  @pradyumna3107  You are correct, India saw no real growth until reforms in the 90's but didn't see it actually taking shape until early 2000's. That's why India is roughly 20 years behind China who made first reforms in late 70's and started seeing major progress in the 80's.

  1120. And how do they measure this? Easy, take one group and split them into two. Group 1 you ask “how many of the following 3 things do you support”. For other group, add one additional question yo the original 3 so ask “how many of the following 4 do you support”. That 4th question is is asking if they supper Putin. The difference between the two groups tells you how many people support Putin. So if In the control group they answers on average 2.2 out of 3 and in thr other group they averaged 3.0 out of 4.0, it means Putin has the support of 80% (.8 out 1.0 from asking if they support Putin).

And the IMF gave a $6 billion bailout in 2019 wit half already paid but Pakistan didn't meet any of the changes it promised so it's understandable that they put a hold on the rest of the bailout.

  1135.  @ArawnOfAnnwn  one of the reasons China wins many of these projects besides having many construction companies is that the west often put to many restrictions on their loans — they require some min wage for workers, environmental protections, workers safety rights, etc. China doesn’t care about any of that so they are able to offer rock bottom prices. In addition, it’s very likely China has a massive international bribing operation as well. Their operation was caught in Guayana by Vice News.

On the Solomon Islands, should have mentioned the Increasing authoritarianism of the leader which is why there massive protests about Chinas involvement in the island. On Australia China trade, you mention Australia mostly sells China natural resources but didn’t mention why Australia doesn’t fear china boycott or sanction of Australian natural resources. China already sanctioned Australian coal and other natural resources but considering they are just global commodities, Australia just found other buyers.

  1141.  @robman2095  So if it applies to everyone, then it means NZ isn't distancing themselves from the US. Especially when it's from 40 years ago. The whole argument makes no sense -- it's reach for whatever slanted position you want to take.

  1142.  @robman2095  "US nuclear powered and possibly nuclear armed warships are still banned from NZ ports and this is no secret" No, it applies to every country. In 1984, Prime Minister David Lange banned nuclear-powered or nuclear-armed ships from using New Zealand ports or entering New Zealand waters. Under the New Zealand Nuclear Free Zone, Disarmament, and Arms Control Act 1987, territorial sea, land and airspace of New Zealand became nuclear-free zones. So NZ is distancing itself from the US based on some act from nearly 40 years ago that applies to all countries?

Beef was next, with several Australian producers losing their export licenses. More tariffs were applied to wine, while customs bans were slapped on wheat, wool, lobsters, sugar, copper, timber, and table grapes. Chinese importers were instructed to stop purchasing Australian coal and cotton, and electric utilities were encouraged not to buy liquefied natural gas on the spot market.

Then, in May 2020, China applied massive anti-dumping duties on Australian barley, pricing a $1 billion industry out of its principal export market overnight

You ignored to mention the numerous bribing scandals China is involved in with many countries. Vice News actually caught one such bribing operation on film as their reporter went undercover. It was with Brazil's neighbor, Guyana. It was a pretty deep operation so to believe there isn't one such operation in the rest of latin america would be foolish. I do agree the US needs to fix what Donald T messed up in the region.

They just said “ The difference is the USSR fall apart after the defeat of Afghanista”. That’s all they said. They would expand on that in the next comment saying there are multiple factors. Never did they say it was the only factor. But you did say no historian agrees with OP who said Afghanistan was a contributing factor.

  1154.  @KaiserFranzJosefI  no economist or historian says Afghanistan was a contributing factor to the fall of the USSR? Wikipedia says your wrong and has sources to back it up.

  1155.  Serbon Resurrected  he said USSRA collapse was in part due to Afghanistan. That is true.

  1157. Normally good videos from this channel but this seemed a little too soft on the Taliban. First, at 5:17, it’s well established that Taliban was complicit in Al Qaeda. How do you not know that? Second, the money was put in those reserves by the former government and do not belong to the Taliban. If you’re claiming that it belongs to the Taliban because they are now in charge of the country, then you were wrong to say it belongs to the people who were friendly with the former government. In addition, if the money belongs to the Taliban government simply for being in charge of the country, then the blame for 9/11 must also belong to the Taliban. You seem very often to twist everything to soften the fault of the Taliban in either 9/11 the economic collapse or the reserves in the US.

Japan is still struggling. Europe has been struggling (except for 'welfare states' of far northern Europe). Europe is starting to turn it around & how are they doing it? By finally taking the same steps the US did. The EU is printing more money, bailed out banks, & providing stimulus spending. Go read a book

  1165. The Euro zone cut or froze spending for the past 3 years. What did it get them? Declining growth almost every quarter since mid 2010 & negative growth 4 of the last 5 quarters. After 3 yrs of no bailouts & stimulus, they saw the HUGE negative effects so late '12, finally started to get their shit together & bailed out some & printed more money. The US saw only 0.1% GDP growth in Q4 b/c of big govt spending cuts (mostly military). How much more proof do U need? Google tradingeconomics euro gdp

  1166. Who said 'Europe is doing just fine'? I said 'starting to turn things around'. They made a bonehead mistake for 2-3 years, arguing back and forth, not doing much other than cutting spending...and now, after some very negative results the past 2 years, have pulled a 180 and began bailouts and stimulus spending. They are 2-3 years behind the US in terms of recovery. That's whey they are at negative growth and the US has been at 2-3% growth for a few quarters.

  1167. Interesting that the comment with the most thumbs up talks about 'facts' and then calls Obama a Muslim and implies Bush isn't a major reason we are in this mess. Wants some facts? The US has the best improvement in unemployment among wealthy countries at 1.8%pts since 2010 while most of the wealthy countries are about flat or have seen unemployment increase. The US has among the largest annual GDP growth (approx 2%) of wealthy nations while most of the rest are nearly flat or in recessions.

So how you argue China invited UN for investigation?

  1198.  kwokwai So  you do know that China hasn’t allowed any investigation — there are numerous videos of journalist being blocked on the road and harassed by government officials and police preventing them from even getting near the camps. The UN individual who went to xinajing literally said it was not an investigation. And the reason people got upset is because w8ma0s would think it was an investigation and then kwoakwai So the w7ma0 would go online and say “see, they found nothing.” Why aren’t you truthful about the UN individual (Michelle) visit to Xinjiang?
    1
  1199.  kwokwai So  your other comment didn’t show up. So you accept that the former policeman and numerous Uyghurs testimonies can be used as part of the evidence. That’s great. Then we also have the Chinese government and police documents admitting what they are doing — rounding up innocents, beatings, they will shoot those that try to escape, and their goal of trying to break their uyghur identity and make them like Han Chinese. In addition, other evidence such as pictures showing 2/3 of the Uyghurs holy sites and buildings were demolished or damaged.

You called them criminals, thief’s, and tèrr-0ist. Now you pretend Chinese never thought that. And it’s the same with black people — when I was there, Chinese would say lots of very negative things about black people.

  1217.  @rocketman1553  indigenous Children in schools in Canada? That happened in the past, Wasn’t sanctioned by the federal government, and its nearly identical to what’s happening in Xinjiang. So if you have a problem with Canada, you have a problem with china. They forced the kids to learn English, forced them to take on the Canadian / Christian values, they educated them, they beat them, they were kept in terrible conditions, etc. Sounds like you now are very much against China!

  1218.  @rocketman1553  what does the population of xinajing have to do with anything? Why are you surprised that 84% of Uyghurs live in the region they are from? I guess nothing happened to native Americans since 100% of native Americans live in the US.

  1229. Expensive fruit even for the cheap option. For comparison on prices, here is what I typically see for pricing on the standard/regular when in season of each fruit in the video: cherries: $2-$3.50 per pound or $4-$7 per kg (in the video, $5 for what looks like less than 1lb or 0.5kg) cantaloupe melon: $2-$3 each ($7 in the video) mandarin oranges: $1-$1.50 oer pound or $2.50-$3.50 per kg ($1.20 for what looks to be close to one pound or half kg) Peaches: $3 per pound or $6-$7 per kg ($2.80 for 1 piece which probably 2 to 2.5 pieces per lb for $6-$8 per pound price) Watermelon: $3-$5 for one piece similar in size to the cheaper option ($4 in the video) Apples: $1-$1.75 per pound depending on variety or $2-$4 per kg ($1.20 for 1 apple which would be about $2.40-$3.00 per pound)

  1230. Southern USA loves watermelons too. Well, all over the US but even more in the south. Apples and oranges tend to be more popular in the north than south. Watermelons in the US are usually sold per unit and not weight and if it’s in season, they go for $5-$7 for the larger watermelons. My guess on weight is 10-15lbs or 4-6kg. They also sell smaller more round watermelons (larger tend to be oval). They sell for $3-$6 in season and weigh 5-10lbs or 2-4kg.

  1231. Why are even the lower cost fruit options so expensive?? It was listed often as “price for each” but did they mean it was the price per kg? Of per .5kg?

  1232. 100%. I’m in Chicago and I’m sure most of the US store bought peaches are the same — somewhat bland or acidic.

I never buy supermarket peaches — never had a truly good one

  1241.  @AAAAAA-tj1nq  why is Syria threat? So RUS killing thousands of civilians to defend Assad dropping chemical weapons is okay but US protecting Kurds in the northeast is bad? Well, you already agreed Chînâ and Rus are dangerous so there that
    1
  1242.  @AAAAAA-tj1nq  you already admitted Chïna is a threat to others (peaceful nations like Taiwan, Japan, South Korea, Vietnam). So you’re point is change the topic and point out how US is a threat to dangerous threatening regimes?

  1243.  @AAAAAA-tj1nq  why is that all of Chinas neighbors in the east hate or are worried about PRC? From Vietnam to Taiwan to Japan to South Korea to Indonesia

  1251.  @AAAAAA-tj1nq  from the news: "The ban would hit at a pillar of Rus's economy by phasing out the import of Rus crude oil to EU within six months, and stopping the flow of refined oil by year's end"

  1252.  @AAAAAA-tj1nq  Yeah, complete elimination of Rus energy by 2027. 2/3 elimination of gas in 2022. Really does sound like a group that is helping Rus, right comr@ade?

  1253.  @AAAAAA-tj1nq  Half the global economy has put forth plans to cut Rus trade, many already did. Even Chi-n-a decided not to help Rus get around sanctions. LOL.

  1259.  @AAAAAA-tj1nq  one one hand they send weapons and aid to Ukraine, on the other they have cut back through sanctions and other means much of their trade with Russia. Yeah, basically the same Putin fascist pal

  1269.  @AAAAAA-tj1nq  "In the early days of the war, Russian state media began pushing disinformation alleging that Zelensky had fled Ukraine, but those claims have been widely debunked. In the weeks since, Zelensky has been shown in video footage in his Kyiv office almost daily. Most recently, on March 21, he made an appeal via video to Germany from that office."
    1
  1270.  @AAAAAA-tj1nq  "Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has appeared in several recent videos that show he has remained in the country since Russia invaded on Feb. 24. But a post circulating on Facebook falsely claims he fled and recorded a video using a green screen to make it appear as though he’s still in Ukraine. There’s no evidence to support the claim. A digital forensics expert told us that nothing in the video indicates it was filmed using a green screen."

  1272.  @openmindz7689  your Russian disinformation: - Burisma Holdings was not under scrutiny at the time Joe Biden called for Shokin to be removed, per the National Anti-Corruption Bureau of Ukraine, an independent agency that has worked closely with the FBI. So how can the prosecutor be fired to stop investigation into Hunter when there was none at the time?
    1
  1273.  @openmindz7689  Hunter WAS investigated and Republicans found no wrongdoings. The prosecutor in Ukraine was not prosecuting any oligarchs or anyone corrupt so the aid was withheld until they put someone in place that actually prosecuted corruption. You are no different than those in these videos with your misinformation.
    1
  1274.  @AAAAAA-tj1nq  Ukraine put in the request over a decade ago and NATO said no for now. They wanted protection because Russia is a threat. They always interfere with Ukraine and other countries — with a threat to invade if they don’t remain puppet of Russia. In 2014 Ukrainians wanted a deal with EU and Russia invaded Ukraine and took Crimea. So your saying it’s Ukraines fault because they wanted protection from Russia who would indeed invade Ukraine the moment they could?
    1
  1275.  @AAAAAA-tj1nq  why can’t Russia invade peaceful Ukraine that isn’t threatening anyone? You’re saying it’s okay because US invade Afghanistan after Afghanistan attacked the US on 9/11?

  1287.  @Meh-hr7gq  your post makes no sense. I didn’t say you argued that Hunter or his dad shouldn’t be investigated. I pointed out they already where and Republicans found nothing and Tr*mp withheld aid to try to dig up dirt on his opponent. That was proven literally by the Audio recording. So, why won’t you acknowledge the 2020 elections were not rigged against your Orange man?

  1289.  @Meh-hr7gq  As a result, Biden leveraged $1 billion in aid as "a stick to move Ukraine forward," Kupchan said. "He was acting alongside our European allies. Everybody was of a single mind that this prosecutor was not the right guy for the job."
    1
  1290.  @Meh-hr7gq  on Ukraine, from wiki: - Trump blocked payment of a congressionally mandated $400 million military aid package to allegedly obtain quid pro quo cooperation from Ukrainian president Volodymyr Zelenskyy. Trump released the aid after becoming aware of a whistleblower complaint about his activities relating to Ukraine, before the complaint was known by Congress or the public.[6] A number of contacts were established between the White House and the government of Ukraine, culminating in a phone call between Trump and Zelenskyy on July 25, 2019 - The White House corroborated several allegations raised by the whistleblower. A non-verbatim transcript of the Trump–Zelenskyy call confirmed that Trump requested investigations into Joe Biden and his son Hunter Biden, as well as a conspiracy theory involving a Democratic National Committee server, while repeatedly urging Zelenskyy to work with Giuliani and Barr on these matters.
    1
  1291.  @Meh-hr7gq  trump withheld money until Ukraine president would open up an investigation against Trumps opponents family so that Trump can use that in a smear campaign against his opponent? why did many of Trumps team leak the information? How is this defensible of Trumps actions?
    1
  1292.  @Meh-hr7gq  trump scolded European leaders and almost destroyed NATO, good thing he didn’t have another 4 years. Trump also praised Putin and still does today. Trump illegally coerced Ukraines president to try to interfere with US elections. Trump also went on a trade war against Europe. Trump did a lot of bad stuff.
    1
  1293.  @YBM2007  “meh 2” is a hardcore Russian bot. He said that Biden withholding aid to Ukraine in 2016 until they got rid of a corrupt prosecutor (a prosecutor who wasn’t going after corruption in Ukraine because he was bought off) is the same as Trump withholding aid until Ukraine president illegally Interferes in US election to benefit the one withholding the aid. These bots.

And why is that Soviet states wanted their independence from Russia? And where is your source that Ukrainian isn’t the most common language in Ukraine? And are you denying the Holodomor?
    1
  1298.  @ce8042  USA wouldn’t suddenly turn I to independent states because the USA government generally treats its citizens well compared to the USSR, Russia or many of the former Soviet states. And your Russian trolling is obvious. You mentioned an independent Texas restricting English in favor of Spanish — but English the primary language now just like Ukrainian is the primary language of Ukraine. And the reason some Ukrainians speak Russia is because Stalin killed millions of Ukrainians in the 30’s and then moved millions of Russians into Ukrainian in an attempt to damage as much of Ukrainian culture and identity as possible.

And all of of Putin's supporters? >Now the Russian stock market has backup as well as the ruble is better than ever. Stock market in Russia is down nearly 40% YTD and even though the ruble is a bit better YTD, it's because Russian government has been forced to make a lot of changes which is why inflation is rampant. Trade one devil for another. The longer the sanctions last, the worst it's going to get. Russia will run out of their ability to buy their rubles, the 15% interest rates will kill much of the domestic economy, the inability to bring in many foreign goods directly will lead to shortages and thus rampant inflation. Let's also not forget the brain drain -- a very large number of educated people have fled already.

  1325.  @infernamus  The US is both a liberator and done bad things. People who do not recognize the US govt has done some bad cannot be trusted -- but people who think the US has mostly done bad cannot also be trusted. There is certainly far less excuses for many of the bad things the US did before WW2...but after WW2, while there are certainly bad things done the overall fight against communism may have helped shape the world into a better place. If the world was run by Soviet / communist hegemony and values, I'm confident that the world would be worse off. Unfortunately, people tend to take the extreme and will defend every thing the US did in the cold war or even before...or they will criticize everything the US did and blame the US for everything.

  1326. Putin’s plan only works if it succeeds this winter and europe has enough of the high energy costs that they force Zelensky to negotiate. But europe has filled up their gas reserves for the winter and will survive. What that means to Russia is that Russia will continue to lose on gas and oil sales to europe and a global recession is happening so gas and oil prices will drop leaving Putin in 2023 with fewer options to sell the energy and at lower prices. In addition he forever lost europe as a customer so it will set russia back decades. Even if say Putin is removed next year or in 2024, europe will have to penalize Russia and that might be never buying russsian energy or forcing Russia to build back Ukraine in return for europe buying Russian energy again.

Why can't you accept the academic research showing wester Europe had higher GDP per capita? Why can't you accept the the Italian banking of the late middle ages became the best of the world and is considered the start of modern banking?

  1332.  @zinjanthropus322  lol, once again unable to acknowledge facts and just resorting to weird arguments such as “well it was Jews doing the accounting” as if that’s relevant to the discussion. I’m 100% you’re a .5 yuan type since you use the same strategy.

  1333.  @zinjanthropus322  "My argument isn't population alone" all your metrics point to population though. and your refusal to even recognize the great accomplishment of Italian city state banking in the late middle ages demonstrate your bad faith arguments. You also refuse to consider what the academic research says.
    1
  1334.  @zinjanthropus322  Just going to repeat this part since it clearly shows your bath faith arguments: "The banking practices of Europe were not special at all however." The banking practices of Europe in the 13th to 15th century spurred many of the financial practices that would help shape the world banking practices.

  1335.  @zinjanthropus322  So you're argument that western europe wasn't on par with China and india on per capita is simply "I don't trust the academic research, only reason it appears like that is record keeping was better in Europe".? And you continue to keep making argument that are essential just based on pure population size. "The banking practices of Europe were not special at all however." Wow, getting paid to make such comments? They spurred many of the financial practices that would help shape the world banking practices. Even wikipedia says "The origins of modern banking can be traced to medieval and early Italian Renaissance, to the rich cities in the north like Florence, Lucca, Siena, Venice and Genoa. "

  1337.  @zinjanthropus322  You're not even answering the questions, lol!! So obvious. Even if Inter-European trade was ssmaller than Indian Coean trade, how does that mean western Europe didn't have higher GDP per capita? All you are arguing about is populations -- yes, far more people around the indian ocean. But why can't you admit the academic research shows western Europe had higher GDP per capita? Why can't you admit the banking practices of the Italian states were the most advance by 1500? Why can't you admit any of this?
    1
  1338.  @zinjanthropus322  The conquistadors defeated the natives in part because their armor and in part because of canons. Their guns played a smaller role but still a role. The Indian Ocean conquest as Europeans began colonizing or establishing trade posts in South Asia and then East Asia were almost entirely from superior ships and weapons from ships. At least initially.

  1339. ​ @zinjanthropus322  "My argument is that the initial mapping of the known world was impressive particularly because the people who did it weren't that more advanced than the people in the places they found. " Not at all relevant to the topic and argument. The argument is against Johnny Harris calling Europe poor in 1492. Literally the the first comment that we are all replying to. Are you know in agreement that Europe was not poor in 1492? That it was at least no worse off than China and India? The academic research indicates western Europe had higher GDP per capita than China or India. And the banking mattered tremendously as that's how they were better able to finance such operations and also how Europe became wealthier per capita than India and China. What they lacked in national resources they made up with economic policies, banking infrastructure and practices, and development of new superior ships

  1340.  @zinjanthropus322  Tiny little Portugal in early 1500s was able to go around Africa and to Indian Ocean and fight to Draw with the ottomans who arguably were the most powerful empire of the 1500’s. From Wikipedia: - Unable to decisively defeat the Portuguese or threaten their shipping, the Ottomans abstained from further substantial action in the near future, choosing instead to supply Portuguese enemies such as the Aceh Sultanate. The Portuguese on their part enforced their commercial and diplomatical ties with Safavid Persia, an enemy of the Ottoman Empire. A tense truce was gradually formed, wherein the Ottomans were allowed to control the overland routes into Europe, thereby keeping Basra, which the Portuguese had been eager to acquire, and the Portuguese were allowed to dominate sea trade to India and East Africa
    1
  1341.  @zinjanthropus322  your arguments hold no value in discussion. You just try to point out that someone before had done it? Well, we play that game and we end up going back to the ancient Egyptians. What value does it bring to this discussion to say Arabs had banking before when by 1500 the best banking was in Italy? What value does is bring to the discussion that China had for a 20 year period the best navy when 20 years later they were surpassed by the Europeans? No one is arguing that europe was first in everything only that by 1500ish, Western Europe had become innovators in ship designs, banking, and weapons and that several parts of Western Europe were possibly the richest area in the world — Italian city states and Netherlands plus Hansa league
    1
  1342.  @zinjanthropus322  Arab ships were indeed comparable to European ships and better than Chinese ships of that time. But throughout 1500’s, European ships became superior which is why europe won out in the Indian Ocean and later Pacific Ocean. Tiny little Portugal in early 1500s was able to go around Africa and to Indian Ocean and fight to Draw with the ottomans who arguably were the most powerful empire of the 1500’s. From Wikipedia: - Unable to decisively defeat the Portuguese or threaten their shipping, the Ottomans abstained from further substantial action in the near future, choosing instead to supply Portuguese enemies such as the Aceh Sultanate.

  1343.  @zinjanthropus322  sure, Europeans didn’t have such comparable ships when Zheng built his. But 20-30 years later, they did. And from there on europe had far better ships. Also, most of of European trade and power historically was in the Mediterranean so never any need for for ships that could sail the oceans. So from 1450 and after, europe most certainly had better ships and better weapons and better banking systems. You are way under valuing how far along Europe was by 1500 with Italian states being richest in the world, Northern Europe and the Hansa league being another spot for wealthiest in the world, innovation in weapons and ship, ability to fund such voyages through out the 1500’s and 1600’s, etc. Western Europe 1500’s was a much different and wealthier place than Western Europe 600-1200 AD. academic research is literally what I used.

  1344.  @zinjanthropus322  i want to add more info on Zheng He ships. They were very large and bulky. They would be destroyed by European ships in battle and would sink in far easier in the deep sea navigation. This is why Zheng stayed near the coast and the they were mostly useful for transportation of large number of people and not open seas fighting. They were not superior to the European ships, they were different and served different purposes.

  1357.  @PremierCCGuyMMXVI  it’s hard to really know how hard to be against Russia and China. Too soft and russia and china will be aggressive and do what they want. Too hard and it might lead to more aggression from Russia and China. What is clear is that many countries should ally together against Russia and China and prepare themselves. NATO, QUAD, etc.
    1
  1358.  @PremierCCGuyMMXVI  I’m not that nervous about direct war with China and Russia. I’m more worried about proxy wars and economic wars that will result of this new Cold War. But here a positive sign — in the past month (well, before the whole spy ballon), China has been cooling off and softening a bit trying to possibly restart diplomacy. They replaced the individual in charge of wolf warrior diplomacy (that’s where Chinas diplomats are aggressive and at nasty things about others and when other leaders and diplomats respond back with N attack, China uses that for domestic audiences) and Xi calmed his rhetoric. Probably because Xi’s in a tough spot with relatively weak economy with major potential crisis and he sees most of the worlds economy teaming up against China which makes it harder on his economy. But I think it’s just temporary— once his economy is doing at least “okay” he will resort back regular.
    1
  1359.  @PremierCCGuyMMXVI  sure it will be better if that’s how it was — but that won’t happen unless China first says it won’t invade Taiwan and says it won’t try to take most of the South China Sea (and has to remove its bases from the artificial islands they built). But that won’t happen anytime soon so the US and others have to be prepared.
    1
  1360.  @PremierCCGuyMMXVI  diplomacy works if the other side has reasonable goals. Russia and China don’t. That’s doesn’t mean give up on diplomacy because it’s still an important part of the process but it means that you can’t just use diplomacy with Russia and China. That’s why there is need to get more countries allied with each other and present a “block” that Russia and China have to get passed when diplomacy doesn’t work. For China and / North Korea, the US has partnered up with South Korea, Japan, Taiwan, Australia, New Zealand and india along with smaller partnerships with Philippines and Vietnam. Plus the UK and a few other Europeans are also helping out in the east. And with Russia, it’s most of Europe and most of those I already mentioned allied against China (not including India, Philippines and Vietnam or course).
    1
  1361.  @PremierCCGuyMMXVI  just as I sent last comment, saw your news one. I very much hate the US military industrial complex. But that military industrial complex isn’t going to lead to the US invading Russia or China, two nuclear nations with large militaries. But we can’t let china just invade Taiwan and steal the South China Sea and steal parts of Japan, etc. that’s why the US has to be tough on China and Russia as well. But I also don’t want it to be dominated by the US so I support a stronger Europe in NATO and even out of NATO and I support a stronger Japan, South Korea, Taiwan, Australia, etc. the more those countries grow in strength, the less influence the US has which means more countries are weighing on each matter / conflict.
    1
  1362.  @PremierCCGuyMMXVI  and my main point was that the issues between China - US is because China intends to do a lot bad things. So even if the US had nuked Guatemala last year, the issues US v China is about what China is doing and wants to do. I’m assuming you don’t support an invasion of Taiwan? Nor support Chinas attempt to steal most of the South China Sea? Nor do you support Chinas backing and support of Russia? You don’t see the same problems with US vs Japan, South Korea, Taiwan, Vietnam, etc. only China and North Korea in that region. And surely you understand both China and North Korea are a threat to the region and even beyond?
    1
  1363.  @PremierCCGuyMMXVI  US isn’t perfect but China is bad for the world. US is what’s stopped China so far from invading Taiwan, actually taking control of the south sea, and who knows what else China would do — economically bully all democracies? US is also what’s kept Russia in check. Without the US, Russia would likely have not only taken all of Ukraine but also had taken over many other countries before.

  1365. this one was pretty spot on. There isn't much to debunk. The ones where he has gotten debunked were the "How X stole Y" series. But since he was called out on the first of "how Europe stole Y" episode, began working with some fact checkers / historians. His last episode on the European series was much more factual. He had exaggerated some parts earlier for the purpose of story telling but I think he's cut back on that since then. The only part he might have problems with in this video is when he takes a few minutes to go in depth on the science and mfg of the chips. But that's not the important part of the video so it won't deserve a "Johnny Harris debunked!" video.

In the several years after independence, millions died in violence. - "Authoritarian regimes will exist throughout the world why does the US choose which ones get destroyed? Why has Saudi Arabia not been destroyed? Or Israel?" Because you know that isn't practical. If the goal during the cold war was to stop the spread of communism, do you think the US should have invaded Soviet Union? No, they need to be practical and realistic. If there was an easy way to cause regime change in Saudi Arabia, the US likely would have done that by now. But there isn't.

You’re basically looking for any way to keep to your argument that US is disliked by most around the world. The 37 you mentioned appears to be from only one polling group, pew research.

All the major evidence suggests Nixon wasn’t aware of it until it happened and there are White House tapes / notes that prove that? To me the banana republic coups are the worst because it often involved a coup or oppression of democratic voices and was simply for US interest. Many of Cold War era coups where in situations where they opposing side was communist or aligned with the USSR which IMO would have made the world worst if it was dominated by the Soviets.

That's besides the points since yes, most of the values are from the past century or so and those values came at different time. Democracy, human rights, protesting, equality, etc. They may not have been given to the colonized but they arose from the colonial powers and when those colonies began to get their freedom, many of those rights were transferred either directly or indirectly. Hong Kong before 1997 when the UK handed it over to China had spent a couple decades before that using British type laws and democracy. Compare Hong Kong to China and you see exactly the point I and Johnny Harris are making.

  1422. Johnny, this was perhaps the best of your "How X stole Y" episode. It was very on point with the facts, provided the right amount of context, and discussed some of the more nuanced issues like how many advancements in medicine came out the African colonies. And I love the ending...colonialism was brutal and terrible but many have learned from it and are trying to make progress as we move forward. Most of what I see as the best societal values generally comes from the west or Europe. By that I mean individual and human rights, civil rights for minority groups (including gender, sexual orientation, etc), democracy or just giving people power. What I do see lacking tend to be more personal values and parts of Asia, Africa and Latin America have something to share there, especially on the importance of close family ties. It does make me wonder what the world would be like if Soviet Union or Imperial Japan or some other current power like China were the ones influence values around the world.

  1435. Johnny, when did you become part of Nebula?? I joined 2-3 weeks ago and didn’t see you. I’m glad you joined because nebula has so much potential if enough get involved. I’m liking nebula for the exclusive content so far as well as no ads. If enough YouTubers go to nebula, we can see more content that doesn’t have to be careful of stories that YT sponsors support.

  1436. I wasn’t aware of this and one day I’m watching Kdrama and I noticed twice people eating food wrapped in yellow and green. Figured it might be subtle ad for subway. Then a couple episodes later the main actor stops by a subway. It was obvious advertisement placement but towards the end of that first season, the team goes to celebrate and they go subway. It was so cringy. It was 10 minutes of seeing nothing but subway and one of them talking about how good the food is. Really off putting

  1437. 15:31 points to subway doing a good job making fun of themselves and shows a kdrama web series that is tongue-in-cheek making fun of it all. The whole video has scenes from US show Community that had a whole episode on Subway paid subway. In that episode, Subway plays the bad guy. They make fun of subway.

  1440.  @BigBoiiLeem  you do know my question was for the OP, right? I don’t care that you’ve been saying it front the start (saying what exactly?), because that’s not relevant to what OP was arguing. OP seemed to be suggesting permanently nationalizing because their whole argument about “privatize the profits, socialize the losses” pointed at a permanent nationalization of the bank. You’re example is not relevant to what OP seemed to be suggesting.
    1
  1441.  @denelson83  To devastate an economy is bad, right? Your original post had “only such consequences” made me think you were arguing it wasn’t that bad if it happened.

  1442.  @BigBoiiLeem  "and then restructured before being made private again." So then it's not at all what OP suggest. In addition, it wasn't tax payer money used for SVB. It was money that was collected from banks.

  1443.  @denelson83  The "only such consequences". You make it sound like capital strike and capital flight aren't terrible....unless that was humor and I missed it? Can't tell when 80% of the comments here would seem to think that's good.

  1446.  @Slithermotion  I just gave you info on the eu military clause but I was more referring to the member states itself and not the EU organization. If Swiss neighbors ever wanted to, they could have made life horrible for the Swiss, bombed them to smitherings, blocked them from any trade, etc. They are at the mercy of it's neighbors. But it's neighbors are nice (now) and the Swiss don't have to worry about any threats -- they benefit by being surrounded by countries that are very friendly to the Swiss over the past 50+ years and will be very friendly to them going forward as well. To deny those facts just shows you don't care for facts.
    1
  1447. ​ @Slithermotion  The EU's Mutual Defence Clause — Article 42.7 in the Treaty of Lisbon — was approved in 2007 and has been in force since 2009. It states that "if an EU country is the victim of armed aggression on its territory, the other EU countries have an obligation to aid and assist it by all means in their power."
    1
  1448.  @Slithermotion  The Swiss are neutral and can stay like that because they are given the luxury of being protected by the EU and NATO. There is no way you can rightfully disagree with that that. Just like Canada is protected by the US and so is Taiwan.
    1
  1449.  @Slithermotion  you’re saying NATO and EU aren’t friendly to Swiss? You work for Moscow?
    1
  1450.  @Slithermotion  I don’t even understand the purpose of your comment when I addressed it in my original post. And you make it sound like the Swiss were peaceful before they went into the neutral mode. They were the hired guns of europe for centuries. They fought wars all around Europe.

  1451.  @Slithermotion  yes, but did you miss the part where I said the Swiss stopped caring about those bunkers because they are surrounded by friendly Allies in 2022?

  1467. Good luck finding a Chinese citizen in China reporting on troubles that are political like this. You think that’s possible? You aren’t understanding the issue. Tens of thousands already withholding are just those confirmed who have got to this situation where they made that decision. 50,000 could mean another 50,000 ready to do the same in the coming weeks. There are bank runs in henan and housing prices are beginning to decline so all of this points to possible housing crash and possible banking crash.

  1477. @discord stuff just wanted to add one more thing that was implied. The right wing party, the Republican Party, is mostly inline with Trump or his type. The old previous generation republicans are disappearing like John McCain, Mitt Romney, and Bush jr and Bush Sr. Those are right wing economics, moderate social and behave like what you expect of politicians— well mannered, keep false information claims within reason, etc. Replaced by cultural conservative, nationalist, brash / mean behavior types that don’t necessarily have traditional right wing economic views (I guess they are right wing nationalist economics?). The left wing party Democrats are what’s called a big tent party. It’s basically anyone that doesn’t fall under Republican Party. It includes some of moderate former Republican Party voters (right of center economic but moderate on everything else), it includes Biden moderates (moderate economics and left social), Bernie types (strong left on everything) but also includes cultural progressives of all back grounds. It also includes immigrants who would generally be republicans with their more conservative social beliefs and right of center economic views but despise the republicans for being anti immigrant. Big tent parties are going to have a problem deciding on a leader and Biden was the compromise.
    1
  1478. @discord stuff in summary, two party system leads to polarization. The right wing party was taken over by the Trump types (ideological, mean, facts don’t matter, conspiracy theory types) and the left has an issue of a split between the ideological strong left that is anti capitalist (Bernie Sanders) vs moderate who are mostly very old (Biden) or too young (Buttigieg) or too controversial (former nyc mayor Bloomberg).
    1
  1479. @discord stuff Biden isn’t bad. He’s old though but he’s basically Obama on policies so that’s why he won. The alternative was Bernie Sanders who was very anti capitalist and turned off a lot of people left of center who ended up with Biden. But the whole problem is the US is a two party system. The right wing party has been taken over by Trump and his support is based on attacks in facts and democracy. The left is also polarized which is why it went with the “safe” bet. There was a candidate nearly as left Bernie Sanders but she failed because she didn’t speak as ideological and polarizing as Bernie Sanders so the further left voters of the democrat party dropped Elizabeth Warren and went for Bernie early in the primary campaign process. She was 10 years younger than Bernie and biden (still old but reasonable old at 70) but left of the party want pure anti capitalist, pure ideology, etc. She’s the second smartest of those who ran — the smartest was Pete Buttigieg. His problem is he was only 38, was unknown and he’s gay which scared some voters. He’s like Biden on policy but is Oxford and Harvard educated, brilliant, great debater, and young. He’s a very nice guy and no scandals. He probably has a chance in 6-10 year if being gay isn’t an issue at that point.
    1
  1480. @discord stuff on a smaller scale, im seeing the same with the majority of trump supporters. They blindly Believe what Trump says even when evidence all around them is showing trump is lying. When the evidence against trump is just experts, they say experts are paid to spread false info. If the evidence is physical or video or audio, they say things like “well he didn’t really mean it” or as a last resort they use whataboutism and say “but others have also done it!”.

  1481. NYT had podcast story on this. It's a lot more complicated plan. Belarus (or the president of Belarus) spread false information on social media that the EU is going to accept more refugees through the Polish border at a certain time. Belarus also then waved the visas into the country, gave them a place to stay while they gathered enough refugees, then bused them in by the thousands to the border where they were then blocked in by Belarus. Very evil.

The US had black people in universities even while the US has segregation laws where the black people were not allowed in certain restaurants.

And then you say you don’t know what’s going on XJ even though you decided to get involved in this conversation? You understand this looks suspicious? You are also proving exactly my point — if you don’t know what your govt is doing in XJ, that’s exactly how they want it and why they control your internet and media.
    1
  1555.  @cc-ub4qd  you think it’s necessary for your government to control what info you can see online and in media? Let’s pretend that this day old account is legit and not part of .50 Army, you are saying you don’t know what’s going on in XJ yet you support the government not telling you the truth about XJ?
    1
  1556.  @cc-ub4qd  what would think of an American that defends everything their president has said and done and at the same time refuses any good evidence against their president? Nice new account 17 yr old student
    1
  1557.  @cc-ub4qd  “impolite to define someone’s identity casually”. Almost as impolite for defending a gen - cide against Uyghurs?
    1
  1558.  @cc-ub4qd  nice brand new account you created today so you can defend China for .50 RMB
    1
  1559.  @Ok-pq5ro  OP even crated a new account (“CC”) that was opened today and he’s made 3 comments in reply to me. And if it isn’t OP, it’s another of the .50 cent army
    1
  1560.  @Ok-pq5ro  so, did you go back and read where OP said the great firewall was to protect Chinese against vile influences then when I brought up that it’s so they can control the news and not tell it’s citizens of say the atrocities in Xinjian, he refused to acknowledge what’s going on In XJ and instead suggested it’s Uyghurs fault?
    1
  1561.  @cc-ub4qd  let’s not pretend u aren’t a paid account, lol. “This 17 yr old did nothing bad…I too also don’t relive what’s going on In Xinj, I too support the govt controlling all the news and Internet as I have to use vpn to make this comment, I too also don’t believe Tiananmen Square Mass—acre was the govt fault, I too work for .50 RMB
    1
  1562.  @cc-ub4qd  lol, sure buddy. He said the great firewall in China isn’t there for the govt to control the people but he said it’s to protect ign.0rant people from vile influences. That’s not true — every country that has very strict control of news and media is because the govt wants to control the people and not tell them the truth. I pointed out as an example that Gen -code in Xinjian and how the govt won’t tell you the truth. He refused to acknowledge what’s going on in Xj and instead actually suggested nothing bad is going on. So, are you also a vvumao? Can you acknowledge the Gen -cide in Xinjian?
    1
  1563.  @Ok-pq5ro  did you read the part where he said “The purpose of this firewall is to protect ignorant people from vile influences.”?
    1
  1564.  @Ok-pq5ro  so, did you even see where he defends the great firewall and censorship by his govt?
    1
  1565.  @Ok-pq5ro  “ I just wanted to inform you that the commentator doesn’t want to switch the subject”. Uh, this all started because he defended the great firewall in China as way of not having false info spread in China. I said the firewall is so they can control people and mislead them — which Is why I brought up Xinjian.
    1
  1566.  @Ok-pq5ro  the 😀 is after he made comment describing why Uyghurs are in the situation while he refused to say it’s wrong what the govt is doing. So when you say he used it as sarcasm, what do you mean by that within this context?
    1
  1567.  @Ok-pq5ro  ask yourself if someone asked you about ww2 Holoc, would you ignore directly answering and reply with problems the detainees committed and leave a winking or smiling emoji?
    1
  1568.  @Ok-pq5ro  are you a gen-ide supporter as well and defending what China is doing?
    1
  1569.  @Ok-pq5ro  did you read all the comments or maybe some aren’t showing but he literally confirmed it with a smiley face after bringing up what Uyghurs did to suggest they deserve it
    1
  1570.  @Ok-pq5ro  he actually confirmed he supports what China is doing in Xinjian.
    1
  1571.  @pepelepew1227  two weeks later you reply to me? Are you exactly what you called me? Why do you defend gen -cide in XInj?

  1574.  @Stocking_Knight  It's hilarious to see Chinese get caught with their dishonest comments. 'oh, the govt just censors to protect the people' which is literally the BS the govt tells you why it's doing it-- thus proving the sheep that you are. And then you refuse to acknowledge the events in Xinjiang, further demonstrating to be a sheep. Bet you also support an invasion of Taiwan? And the oppression of Tibt? And Hong Kong having it's rights taken away?
    1
  1575.  @Stocking_Knight  "😀", wow you really love proving my point vvumao. I was 100% right about the dishonest replies from u.
    1
  1576.  @Stocking_Knight  oh, you have not once asked me what’s going on in Xinjiang — 100% proof that you know what’s happening but you are choosing to believe your govt lïës
    1
  1577.  @Stocking_Knight  “how does the censoring of certain information relate to Xinjiang”. Then how does the censoring of any information relate to ANYTHING? What are you even asking here and what are you suggesting? It seems like you’re suggesting there is nothing wrong about the population not knowing about horrible things the govt is doing. Is that your argument? Are you really arguing that there is nothing wrong about a population not knowing the horrible things the govt is doing?
    1
  1578.  @Stocking_Knight  “you keep bribing up unrelated topics”. It’s 100% related to your statement where you defended the govt for controlling media and info for the purpose of protecting its citizens
    1
  1579.  @Stocking_Knight  “censoring for protecting its citizens” and yet you refuse to acknowledge the horrible thing happening in your country. I actually think you support what’s happening in Xinjiang (which is why you used an emoji initially) and you support it because the govt has fed you false information about it. So how is it protecting the citizens if they kept uninformed about the horrible things happening in their country?
    1
  1580.  @Stocking_Knight  “I don’t know about Xinjiangs incident”. So you just proved the purpose of the govt Controlling information and media is so that you don’t know the truth. Then why say it’s protect them people from false information? And you have heard what’s going in Xinjiang but you’re just pretending not to — that’s why you originally responded with an emoji
    1
  1581.  @Stocking_Knight  vvumao
    1
  1582.  @Stocking_Knight  if you claim the govt censors to protect its citizens, then why can’t you tell the truth about Xinjiang?
    1
  1583.  @Stocking_Knight  and yet once again you refuse to say what’s going on in Xinjiang. You did say the govt censors information but you also said it was to protect the people. I am calling out that lie. And I was right because you refuse to say what’s going on in Xinjiang
    1
  1584.  @Stocking_Knight  try to be less cynical? Then stop ly.ing that the govt censors your news and information out of care for you and the people — you are unable you are unable to criticize the PRC govt and that’s proof their censorship is to control you. Why else can you admit what’s happening in Xinjiang? Starts with “gen” ends in “ocide”. vvumao

  1585.  @nehcooahnait7827  just so everyone knows, this guy all but confirms he’s a vvumao

  1586.  @Stocking_Knight  I’ve been to China Btw. The news is nothing but his great Xi is and how great the party is. Tell me again what’s happening In Xinjiang? Why can’t you admit what’s happening there? You are proving my point about the purpose that the govt controls the media and information— it’s so people like u will be sheep and follow what they say.
    1
  1587.  @Stocking_Knight  you’re admitting one of two things. 1. You can’t criticize the govt 2. You are evidence why the great firewall exists, so their prop*ganda works on you and you will obey them.

  1588.  @Stocking_Knight  you’re admitting one of two things. 1. You can’t criticize the govt 2. You are evidence why the great firewall exists, so their prop*ganda works on you and you will obey them. So which is it, number 1 or 2? Are you not able to criticize the govt on what’s happening in Xinjiang or do you support the atrocities?
    1
  1589.  @Stocking_Knight  “trying to speak form the insiders perspective” and “the purpose of the firewall is to protect ign*rant people from vile influences”. Ok, I’d the purpose was to protect people from vile influences, they would ban CCP media, right? Obviously the purpose is to prevent people hearing the truth and using prop.agnda to control the population. For example, you say “they never implement it strictly over individual usage”…are you aware the Uyghurs get sent to conc camps for using vpn? Are you aware of the g8nocide happening to Uyghurs?

  1590. The question now is whether Russia was the exception or if the theory doesn’t work at all.

  1591.  @rileyfox4001 how does America get zero for helping Ukraine? It gets a weaker Russia, it gets a more secure Europe, and it makes the US a bigger geopolitical player.

  1592.  @scud-runner  Yes, congress is generally rich. what exactly is the russian apologist trying to add here? I said tax the rich, including themselves. But you are a far right winger that defends Putin and are coming up with obviously terrible arguments (congress themselves should fund the war) and you clearly don't care for the poor
    1
  1593.  @arcticwulf5796 raising taxes on the rich or corporations? Why would @scud-runner support that? They are only fake pretending to care about poor people because they don’t like Ukraine or they like Russia.

  1596.  @justaguy6100  I don’t believe you that you just happen to live in the place where there were honest negotiations that didn’t arise from threat of harm but if true, the main point is you are arguing that 95% of Americans should turnover their property to native Americans. Almost all lands were taken directly by force or threat of force
    1
  1597.  @justaguy6100  you mentioned you live on land that was in Caddo nation and an agreement was made? Lol, those agreements were usually made with the threat of a gun. All Lands In the Americas were stolen even if they were agreements because those agreements usually came with threats to take the land if you didn’t sell.

  1608.  @AceofCrazy89  are you too dumb to realize the difference between majority of people voting for a party and under 50% voting for a specific president? Over 50% said no to the unlimited terms. You seem to be okay with leaders such as Putin and Erdogan and Evo to ignore democratic norms and try to create a dictatorship
    1
  1609.  @ianmcshea913  look at that dishonest POS. You won’t even answer the questions. You won’t because you realize that the logic of how you defend Evo would also mean you defend Putin and Erdogan. But you’re too dishonest to answer it dishonest guy, answer these questions: 1. Did the majority say they want term limits be kept? 2. Did Evo get less than 50%? So basically you say ignore the majority when you didn’t like it and support the minority if you like it
    1
  1610.  @ianmcshea913  why do you like what Putin and Erdogan have done? Why do you like when leaders ignore democratic norms and why do you like when they start behaving like dictators?

  1611.  @ianmcshea913  dishonest guy, answer these questions: 1. Did the majority say they want term limits be kept? 2. Did Evo get less than 50%? So basically you say ignore the majority when you didn’t like it and support the minority if you like it

  1613.  @ianmcshea913  I guess you are ok with turkeys Erdogan and Putin? Democratically elected...but yeah, let’s ignore that all of them consolidated power by using the stacked courts or stacked congress to give them much more power. Why are you okay with Erdogan and Putin?
    1
  1614.  @ianmcshea913  the Bolivian Supreme Court mostly selectee by Evo’s party ignores the will of the people after Evo and/or his party raised it to the Supreme Court? And you think that’s perfectly fine? Yeah, that’s exactly the tactics Erdogan and Putin use. Why do you support Erdogan and Putin?!?! And if the US Supreme Court (6 of trumps judges) rules to allow Trump to run unlimited terms, you would be okay with that?
    1
  1615.  @ianmcshea913  “Evo was not a dictator”? He’s exactly like Putin and Erdogan of Turkey. So you are okay with their authoritarian leadership that ignores democratic norms? Heck, Trump is trying to do the same . Why do you support these types?

  1618. People may have wanted socialism — but they didn’t want unlimited terms. Literally voted against it. Are so dishonest that you only care what the people wanted if you like it but you ignore what they want if you don’t like it (keeping term limits)

  1619.  @googleisevil8958  how to stop the dumb young people — thinking the Afghanistan war wasn’t justified and wasn’t supported. People alive and old enough in 2001 know that most of the country supported the invasion of Afghanistan to take out the threats behind those that killed thousands of Americans over many attacks over a decade.

  1620. @MercuryDimeV We can also agree that the invasion was justified unless you are a loser who thinks a country killing thousands of your people over various attacks isn’t a good reason to go in and take care of the problem.

  1637.  @user-jt3dw6vv4x  OP Is from India and yet he as a few comments defending China and criticizing Australia. He’s choosing China over India when China is the enemy of Australia. Almost as if these Beijing workers might come up usernames that would mislead you where they are from.

  1638.  @user-jt3dw6vv4x  Asia found out how racist and incompetent Australia is so many Asians moved to Australia. OPs argument doesn’t hold but he’s paid by the CCP.

    1
  1641.  @user-jt3dw6vv4x  so if Australia wasn’t scared of China, they wouldn’t need US to have a base in Australia and wouldn’t (in your words) act like a puppet of the US, right???
    1
  1642.  @user-jt3dw6vv4x  you enjoy the free seas because the US keeps them free. You enjoy being safe from foreign powers because the US. And China - Australia relations were strained because some Australians didn’t like the camps in Xinjiang, the crackdown on Hong Kong, and China hiding Covid for so long. But it ultimately became strained because China is a bully and won’t accept criticism from other countries so if you want o be a puppet of China, how would that be better for Australia?
    1
  1643.  @user-jt3dw6vv4x  “Australia is Enslaved to the US too”. Get out of here. And to prove you wrong in how your suggesting they US is bad for Australia, why doesn’t Australia just say no to the US and evict them out of Australia? Oh, that’s because the US provides a huge defense for Australia in case, I don’t know, the China you are defending attacks or wants to bully Australia?

  1644. @lati long also, one of the main benefits of the “anglosphere” for most countries is the protection of trade routes around the world. If Russia or China or USSR before had control of the seas around the world, they would not be so kind .
    1
  1645. @lati long closer economic ties generally improve their relations but that alone isn’t enough. The west having more Trade with India Vietnam help to decouple from China so that’s the number one reason for it. The claim the Anglosphere (actually the west in general but me thinks you’re anti west) was too generous to China does indeed have real basis. China was given preferential trade conditions and the west allowed China for years to have a system where any foreign company has to partner up with Chinese locals (10% ownership?) and that Chinese company or individual would often steal IP and trade secrets. The west allowed it for years believing that continued trade with China will eventually lead to a softer and more friendly China but then Xi changed everything.

  1648. Most of what Australia exports is raw materials or foods which is globally traded and new buyers can be found, though might have to sell it a little lower. My point is that Australia doesn’t depend on China as much as the basic economic trade data shows.
    1
  1649.  @Miniorpernik  Oh, they are only buying it at $70, $10 more than the cap but below market rate. "The nations granted an exception to the $60-a-barrel cap through September for oil purchased by Japan. And in the first two months of this year, Japan bought around 748,000 barrels of Russian oil for approximately $70 a barrel."

  1650.  @Miniorpernik  So, you have any more false info you want to spread? How's Moscow today?
    1
  1651.  @Miniorpernik  Japan bought a very small amount (relative to their usage) above cap (not above market price). From a report " Despite the concession, Russian natural-gas imports to Japan are relatively small, accounting for around one-tenth of Japan’s supply and a fraction of Russia’s output, the Wall Journal reports". It was also approved by the US..."Japan has begun purchasing Russian crude oil above the $60-a-barrel cap, breaking with Western allies thanks to an exception authorized by the United States. "

  1652.  @retkvi  no idea why your comment doesn’t show. YT Zia weird. But yeah, the outcome can be very bad for Putin if he starts losing more of the captured territory. But given his control of the media and information, he might just find a way to keep getting support. Remember it started as a special operation to get rid of the n-zis in Ukraine? Now they call it a war, had a mobilization, and haven’t mentioned n-zi in a while changing the story that it’s now about the west aggression. I’ve watched many videos on 1420 channel where they talk to Russians on the streets and 3/4 of them just believe what Putin says.
    1
  1653.  @jeremydevor7004  I agree, if Ukraine can cut through the middle, Crimea and the western parts of Russia controlled Ukraine will be Ukraine's. I don't see Ukraine ever taking Donbass region in a military fight because it's too well fortified and bordering Russia will be too well supplied. At best it will be part of some agreement IMO where possibly Russia gives up the Donbas in return for certain concessions for Russia to save face and possibly in return for the west undoing all sanctions.

  1654. The huge difference is that in more recent decades greatly benefited those countries to open up to the US. When countries accept communism, it makes them worse. Far worse.

  1656.  @tobiwan001  The Economics Explained video I just watched mentioned 25% but maybe it was % of GDP and not global trade. The importance is the trend -- the share of global trade and share of global GDP for the US is dropping so it's expected to be used less just based on that. But Yuan is only increasingly marginally so it certainly has no chance of competition with the US dollar.
    1
  1657. The US share of global trade dropped from 40%+ to about 25% today so some drop is likely. Euro has certainly take some of that though that has now flattened.

  1665.  @rickjames18  yeah, how was your Jan 6 at the capitol? You mention Rac (I’m ignoring the whole word ending in “ism” because YT might not show it) is less acceptable to the point of barely experiencing it. Yet orange the Rac was elected. The same guy who tweeted false lies in an image that was created by white supremacist. The same guy who wanted to ban all Muslims. The same guy who lies Muslims in the US were celebrating 9/11 on the streets. The same guy who blamed both sides when white supremacist killed protester in Charlottesville. But sure, it’s not a problem today despite hate crimes rising since trump!

  1666.  @PiousPriest  do you think Trump is racist?
    1
  1667.  @PiousPriest  when a non-racist is asked if racism is still a big problem today, they say yes. They don’t start with “it depends on what you mean by racism”. Starting a discussion like that is telling me that the rest of that comment will be to downplay racism today.
    1
  1668.  @PiousPriest  what is blueanon? You Qanon types just want to turn it around on others? Why can’t you point to specific cities that are using CRT? And did you just indeed suggest that teaching about Jim Crow and Slavery is CRT in practice?
    1
  1669.  @PiousPriest  "we literally have school boards doing the same song and dance to deny the problem." Ok Mr Jan 6, what problem where they doing the same song and dance? Where was CRT enacted? "CRT stopped being just a legal theory quite some time and has been adapted into educational curriculum a while ago. ' This just seems to suggest that you are the typical Orange man voter who thinks even discussing the history of racism in the US is 'CRT'. Discussing Jim Crow and Slavery..."it's CRT!". if that's what you are arguing, you just confirmed to be an oKKK Republican.

  1670.  @PiousPriest  " They may not have liked Trump, but were not fond of the activism as was seen within the schools " You mean the fake outrage by exaggerating claims of critical race theory? It happened almost no where yet the right claimed it was everywhere.

  1671.  @PiousPriest  what’s funny about your comments is that trump had years of major deficit by cutting taxes and not cutting spending. Republicans and their voters just aren’t trustworthy on what they want — well, i think it’s obvious now that culture and cultural wars are the main interests in republicans.

  1679.  @inuwooddog3027  “it’s awkward” but it’s literally what you said and suggested. So you did suggest Chinese govt destroyed or damaged 2/3 of mosques in a few short years but you seem to think it doesn’t mean much? Then we have pictures and evidence of some 380 camps built to house these detainees. Then we have hacked CCP documents detailing their plan to mass arrest Muslims for what amounts to simply practicing Islam and then other hacked CCP documents detailing how they treat the Muslim detainees including torture and admitting the detainees will be shot if they leave (“Xinjiang police files”). But sure, none of that means anything because you acknowledge you are a vvumao

  1680.  @inuwooddog3027  there are public toilets demolished as well? So you’re saying that China is indeed destroying or damaging most mosques in Xinjiang? Do your bosses know you admitted that?
    1
  1681.  @inuwooddog3027  because you said so. I guess pictures showing a mosque there one day and then gone the next day is not proof it was destroyed. I guess pictures of camps appearing suddenly in recent years — not proof. I guess hacked CCP documents detailing their torture — not evidence. I guess if you are being paid, there is no evidence against China!

So you don’t believe that Chinas govt is sending likely millions of innocent Muslims in Xinjiang since 2017 to camps? You don’t believe the evidence of the camps existing? Evidence that 2/3 of mosques have been destroyed or damaged? Evidence of mass torture? You think it’s all fake? So shocking

I am free to heavily criticize my govt where needed -- I think Trump should be arrested, the government does a terrible job at dealing with r@c1sm in the US, etc. You are a vvumao or chinese nationalist who defends EVERYTHING about your govt but there is not difference between the two -- a vvumao is paid and Chinese nationalist does it for free.

  1687.  @arcqian143  why is China offending its trading partners “for no reason”? Why are they committing g8noc1de? Why did Russia invade Ukraine and now made NATO stronger and Russias economy will drop 10%? Countries run by authoritarian oppressive ‘dictators’ do lots of things

You do know that the person who went to China literally said it wasn’t an investigation? You do know she didn’t actually visit many of the camps? She has said it was meeting to open dialogue. So what Do you expect of the report? And what’s blown out proportion by the west? Very strong evidence: 1. Chinas plan to mass arrest Muslims in Xinjiang for infractions that are basically being or practicing Islam 2. 380+ camps built in recent years where millions have been sent 3. Evidence of forced labor at many of these camps 4. Former Xinjiang cop confirming mass torture which was documented by mass numbers of Uyghurs. 5. torture also described in hacked Xinjiang police files. Same files also said they will shoot to kill anyone trying to escape camps 6. Picture evidence of 2/3 of mosques destroyed or damaged over past 5-7 years 7. Forced sterilization of Uyghurs So, how is this not a horrible thing?

  1705.  @piruz3243  I feel very bad for the Kurds. The Brits drew boundaries to divide the Middle East and keep people separate and in the process never gave the Kurds a country but always as the big minority to create conflict of interest- Iran Iraq and Turkey. Such a large population divided by 3 countries. Realistically, I can see them ever getting an independent country. Few countries are willing to give up lands. It’s happened relatively peaceful at times (but few) in say europe and I guess you can say the US did it with some of its territories but those US territories were not very vital to the US.

  1706.  @piruz3243  reminder of the 1979 revolution without further context will appear to be in favor of keeping the status quote. That’s how many of them operate online so without context it just looks like that. I saw that so much from pro CCP Chinese about Hong Kong. They pretend to care for Hong Kong people and many claim to be from Hong Kong but argue against the protests because it’s better not to fight the CCP.
    1
  1707.  @piruz3243  well, I think you’re type of comments and OP often come off as being opposed to revolution against oppressive non elected leaders. Sure, not every revolution turns out well with many already from the start being bad when it’s a revolution to install another oppressive non democratic leader. But it really doesn’t seem to apply to Iran right now. This is anti Islamic government and pro democracy movement. The 79 revolution was lead by two major groups — religious extremist and communist. While both may have said they would support democracy, those type of groups rarely democratic. And in no way am I saying getting rid of the ayatollah regime will lead to smooth transition but I’m confident in the long run it will work out for them. The only possible major problem for Iran is if Kurdish region tries to break away from Iran while Iran is trying to sort out its issues. But even a free Kurdistan might be good in the good long run.
    1
  1708.  @piruz3243  what’s funny is you’re suggesting that it’s more likely to get worse in the long run for Iranians when it’s already really bad and probably can’t get worse than the current system. This is why you’re comments are so troubling — you’re suggesting it’s likely to get worse based on nothing but ignoring that it’s already about as bad as it will get. There really is only one way to go and it’s progress. even if the next government has issues it is more likely to be better than the current regime who is considering executing 16,000 protesters!
    1
  1709.  @piruz3243  Iranians current revolution is pro democracy and history shows that those generally lead to a better country in the long run. 79 revolution wasn’t pro democracy — it just wanted the shah removed. There were communist and religious groups working together who both opposed democracy and there were indeed smaller groups who were part of the revolution but were pro democracy. The revolution today in Iran would not settle for another ayatollah.
    1
  1710.  @piruz3243  i said in the long run, revolutions against unelected leaders generally lead to better countries. There are exceptions but those are few. I do agree that COMMUNIST revolutions are bad. The revolutions must be in support of being able to elect leaders thus the reason I mentioned “revolutions against UNELECTED leaders”. Just about every democracy today came about from revolution of some type.

  1711.  @piruz3243  "The Iranian revolution was about political freedom and not Islam. One of the main reasons it became Islamic was the deception of Khomeini who promised political freedom when he was in France. " Yes, and they know better not to repeat it. You just want to defend the horrible oppressive regimes of the world by saying "it will never work out!" and ignoring that it did work out for so many. You bring up France...yeah, it took 70 years but it still happened and it lead to revolutions elsehwere that were much quicker in progress but you ignored.

  1717. @H J - Hugo Chavez also took several steps that precipitated a long and steady decline in the country’s oil production, which peaked in the late 1990s and early 2000s. His decision to fire thousands of experienced PDVSA workers who had taken part in an industry strike in 2002–2003 gutted the company of important technical expertise. Beginning in 2005, Chavez provided subsidized oil to several countries in the region, including Cuba, through an alliance known as Petrocaribe. Over the course of Chavez’s presidency, which lasted until 2013, strategic petroleum reserves dwindled and government debt more than doubled - he ended term limits, effectively took control of the Supreme Court, harassed the press and closed independent outlets, and nationalized hundreds of private businesses and foreign-owned assets, such as oil projects run by ExxonMobil and ConocoPhillips. The reforms paved the way for Maduro to establish a dictatorship years after Chavez’s death.

  1718. @H J in addition, Venezuela is currently in an economic collapse making it difficult for any foreign investments even if there were no sanctions .
    1
  1719. @H J no, it’s way too costly for Venezuela to do it alone even without sanctions and it takes time. It’s possible in a year or two by the time they started getting some of the new oil fields the oil prices might be $50-$70. It’s a risk. And Venezuela even without sanctions before ever failures in this — they are terrible at drilling for oil. The only use I see is if Venezuela and US make up and then US and foreign companies invest heavily to help get the oil. That’s a big risk for the US and Maduro is a dictator so it will be hard for the US let that go and it would be hard for Maduro to be friendly with the US.
    1
  1720. @H J anything above $30 Venezuela makes money on their CURRENT oil production. The new oil is far more expensive
    1
  1721. @H J that’s a bunch of BS. Venezuela oil reserves are a lot of costly oil reserves. Venezuela even before sanctions was highly inefficient in part because they nationalized their oil and weren’t able to manage it but also because their oil is considerably dirtier and harder to get than Saudi Arabia’s oil. There weren’t sanctions on Venezuela 10-20 years ago and they still weren’t Able to realize all that oil reserves. Even if your numbers were true, for comparison, Venezuela could increase output by 2.5 million barrels a day to 5 million but Saudi Arabia is 13 million barrels a day and they can increase a considerable amount without any problem. Face it, Venezuelas poor because of bad oil management and their oil isn’t as clean and easy to get as Saudi Arabia
    1
  1722.  @daniellarson3068  I can’t tell if you’re making the typical anti US uneducated comment or not. Venezuela has never really been on par with Saudi Arabia on oil because Saudi Arabia’s oil is easily tapped while much Venezuelas oil reserves are far harder to get and their oil is “dirtier” requiring more expensive refinement which is why even 10 years ago their peak Venezuela wasn’t anywhere near a rich country like Saudi Arabia. Your post seems to suggest Venezuela is decent government despite Maduro basically making himself dictator and having thousands of extra judicial killings. Even with all that, the US did Send officials go Venezuela a few weeks ago.

  1725.  @ShomoGoldburgler  trump was bad but these communist want to try to equate it to Trump. Trump didn’t try to get rid of congress himself.

  1734.  @ShomoGoldburgler  LATAM left wing is nothing like northern Europe left wing which is generally much more business friendly, less corrupt, not authoritarian, very socially progressive, and who manage their 'welfare' much better than Latin America. It seems northern Europe realized that you can't just give money away and leave it at that. They actually invest in the people with a target of of improving the economy. Whether one agrees with left wing economic policies in northern or not, it's clear they at least making reasonable policy decision and not just trying to buy votes like LATAM left wing. I'm not going to say Chile's new left wing president is good but he is at least more similar with Europe's left wing. He seems more practical and he calls out human rights on the left in Latin America, including Maduro.
    1
  1735.  @ShomoGoldburgler  I don't understand Latin America at all. They take the worse of communism and the worst of right wing to make ideological leftist economic policies with conservative social views. Asia showed that to grow from poor to middle income to wealthy involves pro business friendly policies. Even China and Vietnam dropped leftist economic policies with LATAM leftist leaders to the economic left of so called communist China and Vietnam. Then there are the success in India (last decade), Taiwan, South Korea, Japan, etc.

  1740. Great video. He was certainly very flawed before the war but has proven to be a great war time president. One possible upside to the war is that Zelensky or whoever replaces him will now actually take on corruption and try to greatly minimize it. Zelensky just removed several officials this month for corruption -- so it's possible. Before the war, Ukraine and Russia were arguably the two most corrupt. After this war, Russia will stay among the most corrupt but there is a possibility Ukraine will improve. I follow a Ukrainian living in the US who has a YT channel about life in the Soviet Union. He's a Russian speaking Ukrainian like Zelensky. He was negative on Zelensky before the war and than he did another video about Zelensky a few months after the war started. He changed his mind on Zelensky not because he was wrong but because Zelensky has changed or has handled the new chapter far better than the previous chapter.

  1748.  @aytraf  Also, VisualPolitik also released a video about the data showing the caste system is still in effect at least indirectly. The data all proves it. It's like Americans saying racism was stopped in the 1960's with the civil rights act.

  1749.  @bestbuilder7833  So now only urban areas matter? BTW, around the same time VisualPolitik released this video they released a video of the caste system in India and how it's still showing up in the data. But I guess facts don't matter. I assume you are not a lower caste?

  1780.  @maddog5284  the ceiling now is much lower than ever. Besides first few months in office or if US is involved in war, the top you will see is probably 47% approval or so. So realistically if the economy was okay (not great but also not this high inflation), the base approval is around 42%. Anything below that is likely from economic worries.

  1789.  @J_X999  demographic crisis would alway have an effect. Just his big depends on how much gains in productivity Japan can accomplish. China is already hitting the early parts of demographic crisis. Housing crisis and Banking crisis — fewer workers means a slowing economy and fewer people with all that housing bubble means housing prices are starting to drop. People are protesting, not paying loans, etc. The next few years will be tough on China especially if the housing market actually crashes.

  1790.  @J_X999  individual worker productivity has increased roughly at same rate as Germany and US. They just never caught up.
    1
  1791.  @J_X999  Japan's slowdown started in 90 or 91 but yes the housing bubble crash was a big part. Demographics have a huge part to play just like they do in China's housing crisis today. When population beings to decline or stagnate and housing prices had been increasing, you are going to see the bubble burst. But Japan's economic growth had been slowing down in the 70's and 80's. The population growth had already been shrinking. It was around 1.3% population growth in early 70's and slowly declined to around 0.3% in 1990. It continued to decline since then and is now 0.5%. So when they 'recovered' from the housing bubble crash, it didn't truly show in the economic indicators because their population growth continued to shrink. They hit their peak working age population in the 90's, just been on decline since then.
    1
  1792.  @J_X999  demographics is the leading cause of their stagnation. Productivity can improve but it’s still a small effect compared to demographic. Productivity is also hard to truly measure — certain industries will of course have higher productivity than others so many of the top are involved heavily in banking, financial or tech. According to Brookings research, Japans productivity per hour work has been about constant when measured against Germany and the US. That’s to say it’s alway been about the same percentage behind Germany and US thus it’s a constant over time. This suggest two things — the stagnation came from demographic collapses and one way to get out of stagnation is to improve productivity since Japan won’t be able to reverse the demographic crisis.

  1793.    https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Economy_of_Nazi_Germany The Great Depression had spurred increased state ownership in most Western capitalist countries. This also took place in Germany during the last years of the Weimar Republic.[39] However, after the Nazis took power, industries were privatized en masse. Several banks, shipyards, railway lines, shipping lines, welfare organizations, and more were privatized.[40] The Nazi government took the stance that enterprises should be in private hands wherever possible.[41] State ownership was to be avoided unless it was absolutely necessary for rearmament or the war effort, and even in those cases “the Reich often insisted on the inclusion in the contract of an option clause according to which the private firm operating the plant was entitled to purchase it.”

And that war since 2014 was mostly just trench warfare with relatively limited weapons compared to what Ukraine has now. My only guess is that Ukraine didn’t learn enough to Surpass Russia in knowledge but they just learned the basics — they started with essentially zero military in 2014. So let’s russia was a 70/100 in fighting knowledge and Ukraine was 0/100 in 2014. But are start of war of Feb 2022, Russia was still at 70 but Ukraine was 50/100. Then US intel and western weapons pushed Ukraine to a 75/100 today.

Considering that Chinese currency is only the 5th most used currency and the US is far away above, this is a big problem for China. Or it will be if their economy sees more stagnant long term growth.

  1825.  @commie5211  There's a reason even those countries you mentioned only made the deal for oil. Most countries buy more from China than they sell to China. If they are going to use the Yuan, they need to hold reserves in Yuan. The SeeSeePee has zero transparency in their currency and make it hard to buy and sell. This is why Yuan is only 5th in currency reserve in the world with only 2.7% with almost all that happening in Hong Kong. Not difficult to comprehend but I guess relevant username explains it all

  1826.  @commie5211  And yet China produces only a small fraction of the total world output and US Dollar is accepted everywhere. And those deals are only for oil trade, nothing else. So in the whole world economy, only China's purchase of oil with #2, #3, 9 and #25 are done in Yuan. And all all those countries are selling in US dollar to everyone else.

I have played OPFOR in STEX Lanes we hold at the Battalion and Company Level. I have also played OPFOR in exercises similar to the ones held at JRTC/NTC, which are one or more Brigades (3500+ People) in a large scale simulated fight against one or more Enemy Brigades. - Spoiler Alert, BLUFOR always loses. Badly. Sometimes they actually achieve their objectives, but the cost is so high it would actually be considered a loss by the general public. Mostly though, they get put through a grinder that their leadership, or TRADOC leadership, uses to shape future Army Training and Equipment needs. *These types of exercises are stacked against BLUFOR from the start.*

  1828. "No, China has not benefited from this". China singed a huge energy deal with Russia and signed a friendship pact with Russia two weeks before the invasion while Russia had 150,000+ troops surrounding Ukraine. An invasion that intel suggest was delayed until after the Olympics to not distract from China's Olympics. They benefited based on their desire to cause pain on the west -- but you are right, if you remove that benefit that only is a benefit for Xi, China has not benefited from this.

  1848.  @drumpfdon760  I’m confused why you ask 1980-2000 Japan? From 1970-2022, the best growth was 1987-1990. Mid and late 80’s was also best years for Germany and France over the past 40 years. You said plaza accords destroyed those countries yet they all had their best economic growth shortly after the plaza accords. Only Japan would later have issues because their working population began to decline. Same will happen to China. China bad
    1
  1849.  @drumpfdon760  so basically the research says plaza accords didn’t cause japans downfall, Japan saw it’s best growth after the 60’s was 87-90…and Germany and France also had their best growth years in the few years after the plaza accord. Almost seems like they all benefited from the plaza accords. In comparison, the US saw smaller growth in the late 80’s than japan Germany and France and US peaked in late 90’s
    1
  1850.  @drumpfdon760  I literally gave you quotes for research saying the plaza accord didn’t cause japans economy to stagnate for 30 years and I gave you the facts that the 6 years after the plaza accord japan had its best growth since the 60’s but you just ignored it? In addition, you bring up France and Germany? Germany would have some strong growth as well in late 80’s and early 90’s peaking at 5.26% and 5.11% in 1990 and 1991, it’s highest 2 yrs of growth in decades. Even more proof the plaza accord didn’t cause what you say. Oh, and France also had tremendous growth in late 80’s, peaking at 4.7% in 1988 which is the biggest growth year since 1974. Second biggest growth year for France since 1974??? 1989.
    1
  1851.  @drumpfdon760  there is a study that calls out the typical conspiracy you vvumaos use on this topic: - One legacy of the Plaza is a sort of conspiracy theory that has continued to circulate widely in Asia. The theory is that the United States deliberately sabotaged the Japanese economy. The most common version is that the effect came via endaka, the strong yen, which priced Japanese manufacturing out of world markets.33 The idea is that the US successfully used this weapon against Japan at the Plaza in 1985, then against Korea in 1988-89, and against China in the years since 2004. - In some ways the suspicion is understandable, given the long-time pattern of pressure from the US Treasury on Asian countries to appreciate their currencies. It is true that the yen appreciated sharply against the dollar after the Plaza, more than did the European currencies. - It is also true that Japan’s GDP has mostly stagnated since 1990, after decades of strong growth. But the timing is not quite right for the conspiracy theory. In between the 1985-86 appreciation of the yen and the Japanese recessions of the 1990s came the bubble years 1987- 89, when exchange rate policy was no longer working to push the yen up, but rather to support the dollar. A variant of the conspiracy theory is that Japanese purchases of dollars during the bubble years led to excessive money growth and thereby to the soaring prices of equities and real estate in Japan. The bursting of that bubble then led to the Japanese recession. But this is virtually the opposite of the theory that the Plaza did it: buying dollars is the opposite of selling dollars.

  1852.  @drumpfdon760  you are also forgetting that Japan was manipulating its currency which is unfair trade practice which lead to the plaza accords

  1853.  @drumpfdon760  another way to put it, between 1974-1990, 1987-1990 had 4 of the top 6 years.
    1
  1854.  @drumpfdon760  and you say the plaza accord was one of the main factors for the decline of japans economy even though for the 6 years after the accords, japan had their best economic growth since the 60’s? Japans economic growth in each of final 4 years of the 80’s (87-90) was higher than every year between 1980-1984. In fact,all 4 years 87-90 were higher than all but two years between 2 of the 11 years 1974-1984.

  1863.  @drumpfdon760  so you ignore the 14% decline in working age population? Plaza affords where in 1985. Between 1987-1990, those 4 years each had 4.7% to 6.8% gdp growth. No year between 1980 and 1984 had a higher year of growth than any single year 1987-1990. So late 80’s had considerably bigger growth than early 80’s in Japan. Why won’t you accept these facts and why won’t you accept there is a g8noc1de in Xinjiang?
    1
  1864.  @drumpfdon760  fun fact, the plaza across was actually the 80’s and had little impact on japan. It was japans 14% decline of working age population. Also, japan was manipulating their currency which lead to the plaza accords

  1865.  @drumpfdon760  japan stagnated in the 90’s because their working age population has shrank 14% since it peaked in 1995. Hey vvumao, are you allowed to say what’s going on in Xinjiang

  1866.  @drumpfdon760  do I see a decline in China exports? Well, people have been spending far more on goods since the pandemic started but China is expected to see GDP growth under 4% for the 2nd time this year in 3 years so yeah — there is some decouping. Many companies are moving some of their operations to Vietnam, India, Bangladesh and Mexico. China’s gdp annual growth is now becoming normal — under 4% will be the norm. They won’t make high income country ever at this pace — unlike their neighbors South Korea, Japan, and Taiwan who hit high income years ago before their growth came down to normal

  1868.  @J_X999  Japan has seen a 14% decline of its working age population since 1995 so you can bet demographics is the leading factor for Japan’s stagnation. It also ranks number 21 in the world in per capita productivity, ahead of Singapore, Hong Kong, Taiwan and South Korea. At 21 it can improve but it’s not as bad as you say and you are incorrect to suggest demographics isn’t the biggest issue
    1
  1869.  @J_X999  Japan’s growth stagnated because their work force began to shrink in the 90’s. It wasn’t because their labor became unproductive— it was mostly declining workforce. It’s working age population is down 14% from its peak in 1995!

  1870.  @J_X999  “given japans track record”. What does that mean? There has never been AI that’s been useful so what track record are you talking about? And what labor productively rate are you talking about? How are you measuring it? I feel like you are making stuff up about japan

  1872.  @J_X999  Japan with super expensive labor and low productivity as you claim isn’t using AI? Wow, it’s almost as if the perfect nation for AI isn’t using AI then it’s not the solution you claim. But when it does become a viable solution, AI would be used by Japan even more than China because Japan has much higher labor costs. And Chinas economic growth is slowing and will be under 4% for the 2nd time in 3 years — I guess AI doesn’t work that well.

  1873.  @J_X999  but the AI would be available for much of the world. You don’t think Japan or South Korea with even more expensive labor would be able to use AI? As for hypersonic missiles, japan and South Korea don’t invest in that because it doesn’t make them any money. Russia has weapons many rich countries don’t have but that doesn’t mean Russia is doing better economically (in fact they are poor, on par with Mexico or Colombia). Chinas gdp this year will under 4%. That will be 2nd time in 3 years they are under 4%.

  1874.  @ChinaSongsCollection  just saw your other comments here — you are vvumao, right? No way will you acknowledge the horrible Things in Xinjiang — you are defending Chinas horrible wolf warrior diplomacy! The tactic they used to respond to any criticism about COVID and Xinjiang.
    1
  1875.  @J_X999  that AI would be available for the world too. So China would still decline relative to other economies

  1876.  @ChinaSongsCollection  guy blindly defending China is upset with free Xinjiang. Hey, what’s going on Xinjiang? Are you allowed to say? Seems like you defends g8nocide with the way you have been defending Xi so far. But please prove to us that dont defend the g8nocide in Xinjiang
    1
  1877.  @ChinaSongsCollection  nah, CCP is trying to hide it. Xi only focuses on the FORMERLY poor areas and you know this. And when state media shows the poor areas, it’s the beautiful village life only not the dirt poor types. You also know this. Free Xinjiang!! Free Tibet! Free Hong Kong! Free West Taiwan!

  1878.  @ChinaSongsCollection  ive traveled inland China. It’s very poor and parts are as poor as Africa. Not sure of cave livin but many do live in shacks and huts in certain areas. I also think inland China is beautiful but mainstream China tries to hide inland China because the CCP is too worried about looking rich.
    1
  1879.  @internetuser2721  100%. The demographics is why the base level gdp of China isn’t 10% but say 6-7% now. And then it’s lower than that because of the factors you mentioned that are more short term such as mounting debt, Real estate crisis, and COVID lockdowns. And the CCP hasn’t been honest about gdp figures with some estimates saying China inflated their gdp numbers by 1-2% points which is a lot when taken over 20 years. Given that China opening up more means it’s more difficult to hide gdp numbers, it’s possible a big part of the decline is less padding to the gdp.

  1883.  @sleepyjoe4529  China is expected to have double the US population in 2100 but Chinas gdp per capita is 1/4 the US. China might actually drop to 3rd in population by 2100 behind India and Nigeria

  1887.  @americanidiotinchief259  because I know you won’t reply with a source on the UN, here are some quotes: - Michelle Bachelet's long-planned trip this week has taken her to the far-western region, where China is alleged to have detained over a million Uyghurs and other Muslim minorities, as well as carried out forced sterilisation of women and coerced labour. - But Bachelet insisted Saturday her visit was "not an investigation". - This visit was not an investigation," she told reporters - It is the first trip to China by the UN's top rights envoy in 17 years and comes after painstaking negotiations over the conditions of her visit, which the UN says is neither a fact-finding mission nor a probe So not an investigation at all. Fourth for: - In her strongest comments aimed at Beijing, Bachelet urged China to avoid "arbitrary and indiscriminate measures" in its crackdown in Xinjiang So she said China is doing horrible things

  1895.  @AFlyingCookieLOL  if you’re unable to make one criticism of your government, it’s a sign you have a contract with them or at the very least extremely bias that nothing you say can bet trusted. How do you think it’s reasonable that someone can’t even make one criticism of their government?

You mean people defending the worst things isn’t the world without a shred of honesty by using sources paid by the Chinese and Russian government? It’s hard for vvumao to understand by BBC is highly critical of the British government— they are funded by the people for the purpose to keep their government in check. Interesting how different that is than CCP and Russian media that aren’t allowed to criticize their leader because their purpose isn’t to improve the government but to serve as propa for the government to control people.

    1
  1914.  @liangxu8402  I totally believe you vvumao Liang Xu. Did you visit the conc camps and speak with the people in the camps? There are plenty of videos of people trying to get near the camps and being blocked by Chinese security officials — so if there isn’t anything going on, why can’t many people get near the camps? One brave Chinese citizen did record many of the facilities from the outside and had to do so secretly. If China is innocent, why did this Chinese citizen have to flee China before releasing the video?
    1
  1915.  @drumpfdon760  you are most certainly a wumao. You can’t admit/acknowledge what’s going on in Xinjiang. Can you even make any strong criticism of anything about the CCP?

  1916.  @ChinaSongsCollection  ur comment doesn’t appear but to others, this person basically says no censorship of Winnie the Pooh and then tries to suggest the west is no different. Typical vvumao. Anyways, info about it: - The blocking of Winnie the Pooh might seem like a bizarre move by the Chinese authorities but it is part of a struggle to restrict clever bloggers from getting around their country's censorship. China did censor Winnie the Pooh completely from Chinese social media and then later censor it if it’s referring to Xi.
    1
  1917.  @ChinaSongsCollection  what a typical vvumao response. First, you pretend to not know that Winnie the Pooh used to reference Xi get censored and then you try to pretend what censorship and banning of things in China is equal to the west. Straight from the vvumao playbook. What happened to Peng Shuai who went public about CCP officials treatment of her ? What happened to Dr. Li Wenliang who tried to warn the people about COVID? What happened to the Uyghurs who try to have long beards or pray outside of mosques or who speak out against the govt? So, do you honestly believe it’s equal in China as in the west?

  1932.  @Naveen-tq7cg  "This is not just about China." Okay, it was meant to be applied to every country that you believe the west is sending their garbage. China was chosen because it's where most of that 'garbage' is coming from. " So you think we should put tariffs and pressure on developing countries for trying to industrialise through polluting methods, while that is explicitly how the west did it?" You can't even have an honest conversation!! What's wrong with you? So the west is at fault for sending their garbage polluting industries abroad but if they try to penalize polluters, it's also the west fault? I saw your game from the start!

  1933.  @Naveen-tq7cg  What you said was beijing / Moswow talking points. EU and US are considerably reducing their carbon and pollution emissions. China is increasing it's use of coal while US is and EU has been been decreasing it for a while! That's not about manufacturing being sent to China, that's about decision China is making.

The closest friends of the US are almost all democracies with good human rights from Europe to Canada Japan South Korea Australia New Zealand etc. if you’re lame argument made sense, then the close allies of the US would be mostly dictatorships or other non democratic countries. Just like how Chinas closest friends are almost all non democratic countries.

  1945.  @solveigvan808  it would be more like comparing chipotle and McDonald’s, both are fast food but different foods. They do compete and people make a decision “should I do lunch at McDonald’s or Chipotle” just like they do “should I watch a Netflix movies/series or watch YouTube”. Of course there are even closer competitors like McDonald’s vs Burger King or Netflix vs HBO but watching more YouTube does lead to watching less Netflix and vice versa.

  1951.  @Venezolano410  if you were smart you would realize that it’s all compared to other region.

  1971.  @sjv9147s  " if you don't already know you can't prove a negative" Actually you can. That's exactly what the courts do. One side is trying to prove the other side is guilty while the accused is trying to show evidence they are not guilty. If you are accused of committing a crime at X location, one side presents evidence of the crime and that you were there while the other presents evidence they weren't there. Surely you know this? or as a quick google search shows, " It is possible to prove rather specific negative claims that are made with rather well defined limits. If the area to be searched is well defined and of a reasonable size that permits searching then a negative claim might be capable of being proven."

I’ve been to China many times but I don’t need to go to Xinjiang to know what’s happening like you don’t need to go to 1930’s Germany to know what happened to the Jews and others in the camps. You’ve never been to Xinjiang let alone visited the camps so why bring it up? Oh, because it’s next on the list from the playbook. Want to talk about 1800’s slavery to justify forced labor in the conc camps of Xinjiang in 2022? That’s also next. Oh, want to talk about police in the US? That’s also next. Then after that, “western media isn’t better than China media because Fox News exist”. You guys repeat the same lame arguments

  1983.  @sjv9147s  which conc camps? The ones in Xinjiang. Gitmo is a prison for terrorist that has held a total of 800 different people over all the years . Xinjiang camps are where millions of innocent have been sent. Of course a 50 cent Beijing worker epodo say they are the same.
    1
  1984. China has a right to punish other and others have a right to punish China. So that includes sanctions against those involved with the conc camps in China, forming alliances around China to help constrain China, sanctioning China if it chooses to help Russia more than it already has, and giving Taiwan all the weapons it needs to fight off China.

  1985.  @jayl878  the older ones are most certainly worse. They were building like crazy through 2014ish so since then it’s slowed down and I think there have been more regulations on housing construction. My ex s/o is from there but it’s been a year since we broke up. I don’t know what they think of the situation in 2022. I was last there early 2020 and had been there around 2017. The numerous empty buildings shocked me. Kumming had what appeared to be several dozen high rises on the outer edge of the city. Who’s going to want to move there? The Chinese love the dense urban cores of city. These 30+ buildings all looked completed yet empty but I only saw it from the major highway a km away.

In one location there were maybe 30 nearly identical buildings all around 25-35 floors high. In the evening I noticed only about 20% of the units had light. Heck, I’d say 1/3 of the holdings looked completely empty or nearly empty. I was told those building had been completed about 7 years earlier.

That only changed in 2008 and 2010 as a very conservative court rewrote gun history and re-interpreted the 2A to now apply to the states and no longer justified for needing a militia but for self defense. Don’t trust the conservatives

  1994.  @junkeatng  “a new world order is taking shape”. That’s your way of saying why you support the oppressive the oppressive Chinese govt? The Barrett’s (who you follow) have been caught working on behalf of the Chi government. As is Daniel Dumrill who also works on behalf of the Chi govt. so you like to subscribe to westerners paid to defend china?
    1
  1995.  @junkeatng  the problem for China is that western consumers will force the brands to decide in either staying in China but getting boycotted in the west or leaving china and keeping the Western markets open. That will lead to a lot of western firms taking the losses in China and leaving the China market. But hey, you subscribe to paid CCP YouTubers like the Barrets so you’re interest here is defending China

  1997.  @thelonegerman2314  the US is a democracy with some flaws that could be improved. You suggesting it’s basically like Russia or China just proves my point you support authoritarian oppressive regimes. You mention “systematically conditioned on how to think”…what do you think the purpose of Putin and Xi managing all news in their country is for? Why can’t you admit that China and Russia and others like them are far worse. You won’t because you are trying to equate them to the west in order to defend them

  1998.  @emperorjonz9590  “abusing freedom of navigation” how? You never responded. It’s clear it means China will have to fire on the US and Allies because US and Allies currently send ships through the straight to enforce freedom of navigation. Nice try vvumao
    1
  1999.  @Verpal  the difference between me and you is I have clarified many times my views on the militia as well as on blockade. You refusing to speak directly about the blockade or flat out saying China won’t be able to blockade makes it appear you are conflating whatever this militia does with a blockade that was being discussed by the person you originally responded to (@V) and me who also kept that discussion going.
    1
  2000.  @Verpal  you and I replied to him. I replied to you about that other guy (even you brought up freedom of navigation that China will have to prevent). I stated from the start all of that but you have consistently refused to even say “yes, China will have to attack the US in order to have an actual blockade” so it really seems like you don’t want to admit that for some reason. You could have clarified at any point “yes, China would have to attack the US for an actual blockade BUT I believe what we will see is militias”. And you’re militia argument makes no sense to this discussion..you said it’s civilians and attacking them would look bad. Ok? Then they are not militias and they may try to do some harassments but even you must admit that it won’t be much a problem in regards to the bigger discussion being had here so it’s not a big concern.
    1
  2001.  @Verpal  “civilian ship”. So it’s not militia or armed? Then what good is this “militia”? Sounds like the “militia” won’t do anything and all this discussion is pointless. And we are back to the main point V (the user we both replied to) made and my counter to V that any actual blockade will require china to fire on the US and the allies. Do you agree that any actual blockade will require china firing on US and allies? Are you even reading what I’m saying?? All of this started with V and I pointed out that a blockade will require china to fire on the US and allies. The “militia” will be no part of any actual blockade and it’s not much relevant to anything major in regards to this discussion about china invading or doing something major against taiwan
    1
  2002.  @Verpal  “not official militias” so they will be destroyed easily by the US with no repercussion from China? Or they will be fully considered part of China and China will face repercussions on how that militia acts. So in the first, they don’t do an actual blockade. In the second, China will have to attack the US to have an actual blockade. “Whilst yes the US will be able to send some ships through, that’s not my point”. But that is THE point of all of this. The OP started by discussing a blockade of Taiwan and I have been pointing out that for an actual blockade to occur, China will HAVE to attack US ships (and Allies such as Japan, UK and France or whoever joins). You agree on that part? Oh, and if those militias try to do a blockade on Taiwan, they will certainly be destroyed easily so all of that point is moot. It’s just a small temporary hold on shipping as the US destroys those ships
    1
  2003.  @Verpal  going to reiterate the last point — do you think the US will not try to get ships through if China uses that militia navy? And how will China enforce such a blockade without attacking the US and ally ships? Why are you people refusing to acknowledge it will take china attacking US (and allies) ships to have an actual blockade?

  2006.  @whysoserious7553  that’s makes sense and I never thought about it out. I knew that English was often used between people of different languages in India but never realized a major reason many speak English is to have a language to speak with others. Sure they could all learn Hindi as well as a second language but there probably a couple reasons English is often chosen. The biggest is that if you learn English, you are also learning THE international language. The second is just a guess but perhaps someone say speaking Bengali wouldn’t want Hindi forced on them in order to protect their Bengali language and culture.

  2040.  @MrMidjji  Your comment doesn't make sense to me where you said " The schools also always carefully manage their capacity numbers which are generally at 99%. If a private school would need to accept a bad student, sorry this year we are doing 29 students per class instead of 30." This seems like it wouldn't really have much impact overall. Are they changing their capacity each day? I f not, then I don't see how this would have much impact. And do you mean with " they are assigned to capacity by distance by a third party.". It appears you are saying that a 3rd party assigns the capacity but you also said the private school changes the capacity.

  2050.  @lightup6751  " But it is a bit surprising that you never seem to have heard that traditional dishes change in a new country. The way you act it seems you think that food never changed " this almost feels like you completely ignored everything I had said before or just didn't read the other 5 or 6 comments I made to others. I said you COULD find tacos in the US that are authentic and same as Mexico but also that there restaurants that serve less authentic tacos.
    1
  2051.  @lightup6751  "Mexicans obviously know to make Mexican tacos". Yes, and they don't forget the moment they cross into the US. "But more often that not the flavor changes because the food is being adapted to the local palate. " Sometimes yes, sometimes no. There are mexican restaurants who don't adapt to the local palate just like there are those that do. Historically, adapting to local palates was cheap versions so think Taco bell style tacos though now you are seeing 'upgraded' or modern versions. Better ingredients like higher end cuts of meats. "Tacos in LA typically do use different recipes, ingredients and taste not quiet the same. Of course, even inside Mexico the flavors can totally differ." I am Mexican American. I'm also a bit old compared to the typical person leaving comments on youtube (which are usually teens or 20 something year olds). I don't live in LA but I've been there a dozen times (work plus have some family in the area). I've grew up going to Mexico to visit family every summer and then didn't go to Mexico (not counting cancun strip lol) after high school until I was around 30. I've been to different parts of Mexico the past 6 or so years from local spots in riveria maya (not the tourist area) to San Luis Potosi to Guanajuato to San Miguel de Allende to Queretaro. The tacos are often a little different everywhere but are still generally the same and you can find similar tastes and ingredients in the US with some Mexican tacos. But that's not to say all so called authentic tacos in the US are the same as Mexico but there are certainly many of them in Mexican neighborhoods, including LA. The biggest difference is just that in the US, most authentic tacos stick to roughly the same 6-8 meat fillings. In Mexico, while most taco places have 3-6 meat fillings at their location, they often vary from restaurant to restaurant (or cart to cart). That's where Mexico easily outshines the US -- you can walk around and find many different fillings. If it's an actual store (taqueria), they might have 20+ fillings as options with half of them rarely found in the US if at all. But overall, if it's the same fillings, there isn't much difference between between a typical taco in mexico and a typical one in the US from a true authentic Mexican restaurant. My ex is from China. She sees some of the same with Chinese food. There are of course lots of Chinese American restaurants. She dislikes people calling them Chinese but she things some are good like PF Chang or for being fast food, she thinks Panda Express is good value. She mostly dislikes the hole in wall old Cantonese restaurants. Those have been made cheap and Americanized heavily. But we would go to restaurants she picked that she found to be very authentic. Those restaurants would sometimes have two menus -- traditional/authentic and American Chinese. One thing Chinese restaurants in the US do better than Mexican restaurants is that authentic Chinese restaurants offer far more options that are typical in China which is why their menus can be huge. Mexican restaurants, as I said, even when authentic tend to just limit what is served so you will miss out on some foods from Mexico.

  2052.  @ChaposShoota  " if u think tacos in Mexico taste the same as any taco in US" If you think there aren't tacos in the US that the same, then you don't like facts. I'm not saying all tacos in the US (more specifically southwest) taste the same as mexico but you can find many that do.
    1
  2053.  @ChaposShoota  You're right, the moment adults from Mexico come to the US they forget how to make tacos. They just somehow forget. "The meat taste complete different and there is no debate to that". If it's beef, it's the exact same beef. Mexico imports $42b a year in agricultural goods, $32b from the US mostly grains, oilseeds, meat, or related products. Mexico does not produce enough grains and oilseeds to meet internal demand, so the country’s food and livestock producers import sizable volumes of these commodities to make value-added products such as meat, vegetable oil, and wheat products

  2105.  @aloysiustan1765  why weren’t the prosecuted in the US? Because then everything would be public including intel info that would harm Americans. But most importantly, once they are prosecuted in regular courts they don’t have speak to the interrogators anymore.

  2109.  @aloysiustan1765  Btw, GITMO prisoners were caught in act or with those caught in the act of t8rr0rism. It was also just 700 who were sent there. Xinjiang has had 2,000,000 or so sent to the camps and most for “crime” of practicing Islam such warning certain Islamic clothes, praying too much, having long beards, etc or simply for being related to someone who was already detained. How is that the same as GITMO?

  2135.  @Telemarthon  when China and Russia are not the same side, you know your on the wrong side. China has concentration camps and committing genocide, they is no free speech or press, they are trying to steal the south sea. Russia just invaded a peaceful non threatening nation and have killed tens of thousands. It’s clear you know Russia is horrible but you like that. Remind me again, what happens if you protest the war in Russia or protest against the CCP in China?
    1
  2136.  @Telemarthon  “Russiaphobia”. You are right, we should praise the Russians and any criticism of invading a country and destroying it just because Russia wants to keep it a puppet state is “Russiaphobia”. I guess it was just “Naziphobia” when Germany was committing atrocities and invading nations, right?
    1
  2137.  @Telemarthon  active meddling in Ukraine? You mean because people in Ukraine don’t like Russia and wanted to be more west aligned, it’s the US fault and not Russia? And all of Eastern Europe also has feared Russia and wanted to be closer to the the west but yet it’s not Russias fault?
    1
  2138. The gist of all the theories are the same though — Putin want to reclaim the USSR or Russian empire, wants to keep former Soviet states as puppets of Russia, and believes Ukraine is a fake country that belongs to Russia.

  2139.  @kshen7485  "Remember, now China has 70% of world 4G internet coverage with more than 900 million active," It also has concentration camps, genocide and hundreds of millions living very poor. There's a reason why some cities have housing costs that are 50x higher than incomes yet services are super cheap -- millions in the city are living very poor. That's the hukou system for you!! Millions in a city will never be able to use the public schools or their public healthcare in that city

  2159.  @MilenioAgosto  "Destroyedtl the World?!?! LOL... " But you said " lol this country has only destroyed the world". So you already admitted Russia is the one destroying the world. - " I'm not a Communist but that Man has more Pride for his people than our Whole "Democracy" " That's an interesting way to describe a man who assassinates political opponents, arrests tens of thousands of protestors, bans media that doesn't support him, controls the state media, and has caused the death or injury to 200k Russians by sending them to an illegal war for a land grab so he can be remembered like Peter the Great. So you believe he's destroying the world but also you believe he loves his people and shows it by arresting or killing people who speak out against him and sent 200k to get killed or injured for an illegal war?

  2165. All the Trump supporters online are saying this will start WW3….while they support giving Israel more and more as it fights Iran and its proxies. Hypocrisy much? But they also said giving Ukraine weapons aid on day one would lead to WW3
    1
  2166. Having such a tight control of the news/media/info makes it much easier for the dictator to do what he wants as the populace is 🧠 washed and I.gn.orant. All Putin has to do is take care of the obvious in the populace face issues like price of gasoline. U can’t fool a consumer on the price of gasoline as they can clearly see it and feel it but if Putin reports 80,000 casualties when the real number is 300,000, the people can be fooled as they have no way of verifying for sure
    1
  2167. Belarus invading is EXACTLY how Ukraine will be giving far more weapons and far less constraints on how to use them so I don’t think Russia actually wants Belarus to invade.
    1
  2168. Unless I missed it, one big thing that I think is missing is if red lines move more with smaller incremental steps taken by the opponent vs going directly to the same spot and skipping steps. So if a true red line is at 60 out 100, would moving in increments of 10 move the true red line to 70 as you get closer to 60? And if in day one you move to 60, would that actually cross the true red line?
    1
  2169.  @Darrellbythelake  I think People of Gaza have confirmed that Gaza is mostly Osama types so we should not feel sorry for them. 72% think Oct 7 was good…those people also put Hamas into power. And those people do not want Hamas to surrender but to keep fighting which means they don’t care for their lives but only care to inflict damage on Israel
    1
  2170.  @btolley100 ​​⁠I agree (as an American) that Europe should prepare for and except USA to be unreliable because it won’t just stop with Trump if he were to stop living. Half of the republicans in the US have little interest in helping Europe or any of our partners except Israel. And only reason that half of the republicans support helping Israel is because they do not like Muslims. Even if Biden wins, we can still see the limitations due to republicans in congress. I’m not sure another big aid package for Ukraine like the $61 billion package will happen again.

  2175. @ hilarious to mention Obama 2012 statement when his opponent highlighted russsia as a threat thus showing there was big concern. It wouldn’t have been a question at the debate if it wasn’t for the fact Russia had already gone into Georgia.

  2176. @ obamas statement was also well before Russia taking crimea. Romney said Russia was the future progres, Obama said China. Turns out both were right but Russia first then China!
    1
  2177. @stafer ”Minor misdemeanor because of the reaction.” Yeah, because US surely wanted to engage in war with Russia while still in Afghanistan and Iraq (or beginning to draw down troops depending which year). Just make things up and or avoid All the context!
    1
  2178. @ “in comparison between Ukraine and US, they weren’t much different in their attitude towards Russia”. So that’s why Ukraine voted in a pro Russian president that pretended he was going to sign the EU trade deal and then ignored it and signed a deal with Russia? Then fled to Russia?
    1
  2179. @ you even quote how NATO relations with Russia deteriorated as early as 2004-05 orange revolution and further with the Georgia-Russia war in 2008. I was a full grown adult when Orange the revolution happened so don’t say these thing were “minor misdemeanors”
    1
  2180. @Stafer Georgia invasion was not seen a minor misdemeanor. Why make thinks it up? It happened during the Olympics, it was invasion of a country that had make no thr3ats on Russia, and Russia in effect broke a country in two.
    1
  2181. @ what was in direct response to Russia invading and annexing Crimea?
    1
  2182.  @stafer3  imagine arguing the west didn’t see Russia as the “other side” before 2014 when Russia had fought Georgia, defending Al-Assad in Syria, and US accused Putin of rigging 2012. What’s with you guys? Zero honesty in the arguments.
    1
  2183. 16:00 Russian weapons and equipment are being moved out of Syria and there is footage. However, it’s still possible the naval base is staying. No word on that

  2188.  @rjfaber1991  The reason I don't think the shared interest in a port and railroad would suffice is that Ethiopia came out aggressive on this. if the request was that simple, I think they would have avoided such an aggressive approach.
    1
  2189.  @rjfaber1991  I think shared interest in a port and railroad to it would be fine BUT I highly doubt Ethiopia's leader want's that little. I'm hoping he does but that did come to mind but I just don't think it's a realistic option.
    1
  2190.  @rjfaber1991  It's tricky because unless Ethiopia pays a lot of money, Somaliland is giving up land and it would get Ethiopia in better position to attack Somaliland if it ever decides to. But, if Ethiopia pays a lot and or offers some other great benefits, a possible narrow strip to the coast might make sense. It would reduce the threat compared to a bigger land area. I believe Bosnia and Herzegovina have such a small strip of access to the sea through Croatia. This only works if Ethiopia can be trusted.

  2194. The HTS leader keeps acting and talking a moderate game. We are in for the one or the biggest changes we have ever seen…or the biggest con of all time. I’m choosing to be optimistic as I hope this demonstrates to many in the region that moderate rule is the future.
    1
  2195.  @beyondEV very bad response that seems like it’s written by Xi. There is a MASSIVE difference if our own government has access than if a hostile nation has it. I’m addition, the govt usually does need some Type of warrant even if it’s secretive court. The point is that it would be extremely difficult for a US govt office to say use it to influence the elections compared to Russia or China if they were the ones with access to that info
    1
  2196. Ukraine is in danger of losing future military and financial aid if the gains will be just a few km each offensive. I think this analysis didn’t focus on much on “gains needed to keep funding from the west coming and to keep support for the war domestically”. Explaining just what the expectations should have been based on military situation is only part of it and IMO not as important as explaining what gains Ukraine actually does need to win the war. If this war will just be a few small km each year, Ukraine will lose support for continued financial and military aid from its allies.
    1
  2197. Great work. I really hope that you continue to do content beyond Ukraine Russia as you do a great job of explaining things. Of course Israel Hamas is the hot topic right now but I’m sure there are other similar topics (conflict) that you can do
    1
  2198. Alright, I’m strapped in and ready for 90 min doc movie. And on a very interesting topic. At about 4 min mark there is a reference to how over 60% identify as strictly Taiwanese and only a couple % as strictly Chinese. My old work was owned by Taiwanese company and I met many of them from corporate HQ. All the under age 50 people I met identified as Taiwanese. Probably a sample size of 10 that i asked that question to or that they just mentioned it on their own There is no chance of reunification

  2199. That’s a long way to say guy support f-scist Russia and it’s war crimes while it does a land grab because they wanted a puppet state in Ukraine

  2200.  @katieee4915  so I can see both of your comments. The “tr0..” word did lead to the comment not being visible. And I have abused the system basically as you stated — someone was being gnome (tr..l) and I called them out on it and added words I knew would lead to it not showing up!

  2207.  @UGNAvalon  They both do that and they both have some arguments...but a major difference is pro-Hamas information has refused to acknowledge Hamas eliminated the lives of over 1,000 Israeli civilians and that Hamas uses their own civilans as human shields by building tunnels under/near hospitals, schools, and residential buildings. Israel is producing a lot of evidence. Of course Israel also ignores some things or twists some facts but no where near the level of Hamas and its' supporters.
    1
  2208.  @putra4101  You mean how pro-Hamas types refuse to acknowledge that Hamas eliminated the lives of over 1,000 Israeli civilians and that Hamas blocks evacuation to use Palestinian civilians as human shields? Israel at least is producing lots and lots of evidence....even if they are still being too brutal in their response.
    1
  2209. 🇵🇸 is certainly not a good Guy. Can’t feel bad for them when 72% support Oct 7 and they put Hamas into power. But this video is garbage as we know 🇮🇱 often doesn’t care about civilians

The same india they have had border clashes with. China is also bullying Philippines and Vietnam in the South China Sea. They are also threatening South Korea and Japan. There’s a a reason China has very low approval ratings in all those countries.

  2279. The value of the ruble is artificial at this point. While in the short term, it was needed so that import prices don’t go even more wildly crazy, it comes with major long term impact. Interest rates shot up to 20% which will greatly reduce spending and ability to take loans — most economies are about 50% consumers driven so with interest rising tremendously, that will lead to major economic decline from far less consumer spending. The sanctions will continue to make imports much more expensive thus also declining consumer spending (power). All of this is why Rus is now estimated to decline up to 15% gdp this year.

The strong majority of Russians support the war. Levada also tested the polling by separating the group into 2 —- one gets asked how many of the 3 times do they support (gay marriage, monthly allowance for the poor, abortion) and another gets those same 3 plus one extra question — support for the actions of Russia in Ukraine. The difference in both groups will give you the % who support the war.

You people are complaining about click baity titles but have little understanding of how YouTube works. Quality keeps viewers coming back but titles are extremely important to bring in new viewers which this Channel needs. And most importantly,, this title is about as weak of click bait as you will see. It’s the wrong video to bring up click baity titles. I follow man my other news type of programs and they all are forced to use some click bait titles. This is barely even one compared to what is normally seen on YouTube. I read all the comments above you and I don’t think one offered valid constructive criticism. Just complaints like yours.

  2328.  @thomasherrin6798  That sounds like the perfect response that captures the problems and the changes. Yes, EU was very dominated by Germany & France before 2022. But they have been basically on the otherside of most of the rest of the EU. If just simplification sake, Germany and France each have 15% of the power of the EU for a total of 30%. They will need over 20% to get majority of the total EU power in their direction (20%pts out of 70%pts thus 29% of remaining power). Usually that 30% is enough to get a few others on their side to get the EU to do what they want. But almost everyone else is in disagreement with Germany and France and I think that's causing both to lose power within the EU where it once was 15%, it's now 10% each. And it's not just on Russia, much of the rest is also worried about China. >, it is with little suprise that France cannot see the danger in a petulant and hostile China towards Tawain and how that might be disastrous for Europe at present because as with its dependency on Russian Energy and it's subsequent scramble to an alternative, Europe is also heavily reliant on Chinese and Taiwanese exports Yes, even if they wanted to be neutral, a military conflict there would disrupt not just supply chains from these countries but critical components. And the issue goes well beyond just exports reliance on China and Taiwan. It would also disrupt supply chains from other countries. And that's not the whole of it --- if China gets or attempts to get Taiwan, that means they are danger for far more especially when you consider they are allied with Europe's biggest near concern, Russia. The US leaks showed there was communication between China and Russia planning possible sending of árms. They are just trying to figure out how to do so without China getting caught which would lead to sanctions on them. Does France and Germany think that China will just stop after it gets Taiwan? Even if France and Germany don't support sending troops to defend Taiwan, you don't publicly say it (want to keep China guessing) and you most certainly don't say you won't be involved in anyway becuase it's none of the EU's business. All why they want others to help join at least economically against Russia.

  2339.  @XiaoPangZi  Great famine. Holdomor and Soviet famine. Gulags. North Korea famine. >When it comes to Vietnam though the only mistake was giving up. No one today would argue that fighting with SKorea was bad, today NK is a horrible place Yes. But also, it was too much of a cost for Americans. It dragged on for far longer than the US involvement in Korea. Defending SK also had more justification -- there was a treaty and it was broken by the North when they invaded. >If USA had not given up and kept on defending SVietnam there might today have been a very rich, technologically superior souther Vietnamese ally. I agree. I have been having this debate for over a week on this channel with a person from Vietnam that defends Russia. It was the weakest arguments I've seen. He will say he's not defending Russia in Ukraine but each time brings up things to blame the west. He says he overall supports Russia because they are an ally -- but even after I pointed out that Russia will support China over Vietnam in a conflict that is number one concern for Vietnam, he acknowledged that was true and yet says they are some he has faith in. At the same time, when I pointed out all the US is doing to contain China and defend Vietnam and others in that region, he was ungrateful and said 'So? they are still expanding so US cannot be tr1usted". He also tried to defend his support for Russia by criticiing the US and saying "they don't have their allies back. Look how they didn't help Argentina in 1982 Falkland". I pointed out to him that Argentina wansn't the ally, the UK was. I also pointed out that Russia cannot be counted on at all because they have a defense agreement with Armenia and didn't come to their defense. Then he just pivoted to "US didnt' come to support the UK in 1982 and UK is part of NATO, so how can any have tr1ust in them?!". Then I pointed out that the UK didn't ask for support and NATO specifically says that nothing in the southern hemisphere will be included in article 5 clause where members are to help each other if attacked. That exclusion of the south and some other areas was because it was not meant to defend colonies in 1940s when it was written. After a while I asked him he likes that northern vietnam won over south vietnam despite the fact that northern vietnam from the 1950's until the end of the war in 1970's were specifically "eliminating" (from life) 220,000 civilans and the fact that by the late 1980's, Vietnam started to ditch actual communist policies. He said he supports NViet because he is glad Viet didn't become a p^^üpp^^et of the US or any other nation. Which I then point to the fact that if Vietnam would have been alied with the US, they would have been as rich as Japan, South Korea, and Taiwan plus have all those rights. He just said Vietnam is better off but no longer able to keep finding excuses. That's a long way for me to say that 100% sure Vietnam would have been better off yet the people just follow whatever their government says because their government is one responsible for all the news they get. >When it comes to Afghanistan again the only mistake was pulling out the troops. Going in was not a mistake but I do think it was too much cost for the US to keep going once Taliban made a resurgence around 2010. The government was just too c0rrupt and the country is too fractured into tribes. >Iraq was a mistake. I agree. I was against it then mostly because I kept thinking if our allies in Europe are not that sure Iraq has WMDs, then maybe Bush is wrong and we should start a wár with that much uncertainty. Huessein was bád and I do think in the long run it will be good for Iraq they they no longer have a brütál dictátõr. They already are better off today than 2002 but it did come at a big cost for the US and Iraqi people.

  2350.  @skydragon23101979  Based on Kiat logic, it's right to hit the CN bases in the disputed sea because the whole world doesn’t think it belongs to CN. And CN bu.ll8ying neighbors is good, US helping those b8ullied is wrong.
    1
  2351.  @skydragon23101979  Look, the main takeaway is that every argument you've made has been to take China's position as valid and that everyone then has to ask permission or negotiate from China. If they don't ask for permission, CN can use force. In addition, while you defend CN using force you are against other using force on CN or even preparing for defense. There is also a repeated argument you have made that anyone asking US for helps is being coerced by the US thus no agency when they cooperate with the US but when they cooperate with China, those countries are doing it under no coercion from China. The same China that has military in the disputed waters and hitting other boats.
    1
  2352.  @skydragon23101979  And why are you trying to ask questions about Europe as if Kiat actually hopes the best for Europe? Defending CN on everything including CN helping RU with arms is exactly why what Kiat says isn't in the best interest of Europe. I also didn't say Europe should put troops in Asia so nice strawman.

  2353.  @skydragon23101979  In summary, here are the contradictions and bad arguments made by Choon: New to the list: 1. States that my point in asking why ASEAN and EAST Asia want support at least in a part to defend against CN because I didn’t state why they wanted protection. Thus arguing that they do indeed all want US prescensse and support but you are not sure if it’s for CN or someone else. At the same time you said it wrong for US to be in the region. 2. Argued that anyone seeking support from US is v@ss@l and not acting out of their own interest. Thus no one has agency if they ask for help unless it’s help from CN like RU is doing. 3. US leaks show CN is doing arms deals with RU 4. Choon agreed with Marcon was describing how Europe is pressured (i.e. coerced) to cooperate with the US but then say ASEAN could not be coerced because cooperation means no coercion. Choon literally argued Europe needs more self-autonomy which is suggesting they forced to cooperate. Otherwise, Europe is doing EXACTLY what it wants. 5. Unable to provide me source that ASEAN said they clearly do not want external interference regarding their affairs. And could not explain why they are working with the US or have US bases if they don’t want external interference. 6. Argued that if someone doesn’t literally admit to using a certain tactic or doesn’t admit to saying a specific thing, it means they are not doing that at all. Thus Choon is 5 yr old brain – I’m not arguing anything about intelligence, right? Because I didn’t use the word intelligence. 7. Continues to argue that all CN positions are valid and must be respected. Anyone tht does not respect that position, CN is in the right to use force. But others cannot do the same and for example destroy the bases of CN in the West Philippine Sea. 8. UN ruled against China’s claims and actions against Phillipne. Yet Choon thinks CN is in the right to continue to @tt@ck anyone that goes in that area. 9. Choon argues that SK, Japan and Philippines have no agency and can not ask for US support so the argument Choon makes all the time is no one can ask for help, it’s only forced on them. You are right thought that the US doesn’t have a base in TW, they just have troops. 10. Singapore allows their base to be use by US, UK and India – all countries trying to contain CN. But they don’t allow CN. Why is that? And also: 1. Unable to say why all those countries in East Asia and ASEAN want support against CN. 2. ASEAN is cooperating and not coerced into cooperating with CN because cooperation only happens if not coerced....but Europe is forced into cooperating with US because cooperation can be coerced. 3. Without a source or quote from ASEAN, ASEAN said they are clearly do not want external interference regarding their affairs all while ASEAN is indeed working with the US. 4. Argued that the starting point to the East Vietnam Sea is whatever position CN takes and THEN one has to discuss/negotiate with CN. 5. Blamed Philippines for CN attacking their boats even thought an international community voted against CN. 6. Is interested in defending CN & RU while pretending to care what’s best for Europe. 7. All of your arguments are that CN is right about everything and thus anyone that doesn't bow to their demands, it will be their fault if CN acts with military or other means. 8. Says that the US and world should not get involved in other countries issues while CN is allowed to become THE issue for other countries. 9. still refuses to say why SK, Japan, Taiwan, Phillipines and Singore have US bases and why Vietnam is working with the US -- all in part to contain CN.

  2354.  @skydragon23101979  > Your number one point is invalid you never pointed out why they wanted protection against the chinese. Invalid because Choon said so. And you just confirmed that they do want protection by asking me why they want protection. Can Choon make up his mind? You’re now agreeing they do want protection but disagreeing on why? And your argument is saying that if someone wants help from the US, they are a vassal? Wow, what an easy way to ‘win’ a debate! > best evidence for that is the recent leak The leaks that showed CN is working with RU regarding CN sending them support such as arms? Okay, good that you agree. I don’t know how you got that the US coerced them by eavesdropping but considering Choon said Europe is coerced to cooperate while at the same arguing that ASEAN isn’t coerced because cooperation means they aren’t coerced. > Nope I never said Europe is being coerced I said Europe is blindly following the position of the US without consideration of their interests. Marcon, who you defended, literally argued they are pressured to follow the US. Are you saying Macron is wrong? You literally argued that Europe needs more self-autonomy which is suggesting they forced to cooperate. Otherwise, Europe is doing EXACTLY what it wants. > ) I already said Asean made a statement clearly you can google I told you I did and was not able to find it. Why can’t you find it? Your VPN is clearly working. > Nope i never said starting point is whatever China said You’re right, if someone doesn’t say they did something, it means they didn’t do that. So If I said Choon is 5yr old brain, don’t reply back that I said Choon is not smart. > without diplomatic communications, it always reverts to law of the jungle whoever is stronger militarily gains No it doesn’t. It means that Choon believe that CN positions are valid all the time and if anyone disagrees, they have to negotiate with CN. So if CN declares tomorrow the Sea of Japan belongs to CN, then anyone that wants to use it must get approval from CN. Which other country is hitting fishing ships in the region at the rate CN does? This is also the CN that illegally sends it’s fishing ships into the economic waters of South America. > International community voted against China? where did you get that info? I have not heard of any international organisations that voted against China. Maybe because SeeSeePee doesn’t allow coverage of that. It was from the United Nations. Specifically from the Law of the Sea Treaty… is an international agreement that establishes a legal framework for all marine and maritime activities. As of June 2016, 167 countries and the European Union are parties. > That’s your perspective No, you are literally defending everything about CN. > why don’t you tell me from Europe’s perspective why does it benefit for Europe to be involved in the affairs of the south China sea or Taiwan and making an enemy of China? Why didn’t you answer how CN benefits acting as part of the axis of ev1|. 80% of world trade goes though the East Vietnam Sea including lots of trade that ends up in Europe. TW also has 80% of Chips and war would cause a major shortage leading to economic disaster. And last, EU is asking the world to help against RU so EU needs to help others in order to ever get support. > )Nope my arguments are based on facts and pragmatic solutions You mean based on the assumption that any position CN takes must be accepted and if one doesn’t, CN is in the right to use force against them. > Nope what I am saying is that you let the countries involved decide for themselves No, you have consistently argued that the US should stay out of the region. So, CN is allowed to be bully but US or anyone else cannot or should not help those bullied – that’s the argument Choon made. > South Korea, Japan, and Philippines have US bases those bases are there since after WW2 Yes, literally to contain CN. And SK, Japan and Philippines are free to kick the US out but instead they have continued to allow the bases and even expanded. Philippines just did a few weeks ago. > Singapore does not have ZuS base Changi Naval Base is open to the US and UK and just this year they opened it up to India. No China. Why? Funny how US, UK and India are all 3 countries trying to contain CN. Coincidence?

Great argument. >Where did you get info that many want protection against China First, you already pointed out the various military bases in the region so it's an odd question. Second, maybe in CN they don't allow you see a the evidence? That US is gifting and then later selling Vietnam ships to help patrol the East Vietnam Sea. That Vietnam has ran naval exercise with the US. That Indonesia has raised serous concerns about CN and has been in communication with the US. Or the Philippines giving the US more bases. Or that Singapore allows US military ships to use their ports but not China. Also, I'm coming from the world perspective. Unlike Choon, I care about the people of Vietnam, Philippines, Taiwan, South Korea, Japan, Indonesia, Singapore. Why cant Choon answer why all those countries seek protection against CN?

  2358.  @lycanthoss  Moko Moko is defending CN so he's not interested in what is best for Europe or the world. CN taking TW not only effects the world due to advance chips but it puts them in position to take the South Sea where maybe 80% of world trade passes through.

  2359.  @anacolakovic4201  The easy way to defeat Moko Moko argument is to ask him "so then you support all the countries trying to cointain China so that China doesn't succeed in "1) Taiwan will get invaded, 2) that some other democracy than Taiwan will get invaded 3) that all those invasions will be succesful"

  2360.  @mokomoko-el6li  " That is presuposing that 1) Taiwan will get invaded" The only way it doesn't happen is if the obstacles are too difficult for CN. I.e., the US and other Taiwan allies support Taiwan. " 2) that some other democracy than Taiwan will get invaded They are trying to take the East Vietnam Sea (also known as the West Philippine Sea and the South Sea). They are also trying to take territory from India. >that all those invasions will be successful So you support containing China so it isn't successful?

  2361.  @skydragon23101979  The fact Choon is unable to state why so many want protection against CN while also making arguments that whatever CN says is right and those around CN should then come to negotiate with CN or else risk att@ck is very telling that Choon will only defend what CN says. So now I'm curious how you think it's good for CN to have most of it's trading partners begin to decouple or reduce trade with China, how the sanctions they have received is good, and why taking Taiwan by force with presumably hundreds of thousands of (CN) people dead is good for CN? Do you also think it's good CN doesn't allow free press and speech where all info is determined by the government?

  2403.  @khiem1939  to add to your comment, Russia has a long way to supply its troops as well. Not only are they short in supplies but also getting the supplies to the frontline are harder for Russia which is why Ukraine has been targeting their supply lines with ease. There Aren’t many routes for those supply lines unlike for Ukraine where they have so many routes unless they get cutoff in an area which hasn’t happened in a whole (Mariupol?).

He does Shorter form (15-20min) videos about the russia Ukraine war and discusses strategy, news inside of both countries related to the war, etc. one of the videos that got me hooked was his video on why Ukraine hadn’t yet attacked the Crimean bridge and discusses pros and cons and and the difficulties Ukraine would have if they tried to destroy it. He then did a follow up video after it was attacked.

  2408.  @himanshusingh5214  almost every expert agrees a major reason China doesn’t fully support Russia (by providing weapons) and doesn’t invade Taiwan is the impact it will have to Chinas economy. So trade doesn’t 100% guarantee peace but it does greatly reduce chances of war.
    1
  2409.  @LizardSpork  Yeah, except you did a blanket statement on a whole group when it was a small subset of them. So you made 1% apply to 100% of capitalist..and that 1% didn't even say it 100% eliminates chance of war.
    1
  2410.  @LizardSpork  And just to illustrate my point of you taking things out of context, here is more on Thomas Friedeman that should end this conversation: - Thomas Friedman also warns that the Dell theory should not be interpreted as a guarantee that nations that are deeply involved in global supply chains will not go to war with each other.* It means, rather, that the governments of those nations and their citizens will have very heavy economic costs to consider as they contemplate the possibility of war. Such costs include long-term loss of the country's profitable participation in the global supply chain.
    1
  2411.  @LizardSpork  Those are some extreme positions from a few. You're saying that a few people saying that means that you can apply to all capitalist? And people often use hyperbolic language to emphasize a point.
    1
  2412.  @LizardSpork  lots of things increas chances of peace and trade is one that increases peace the most that can be done from the outside rather. Liberal democracy comes from within — but trade certainly helped Eastern Europe became mostly liberal democracy. Same with Japan, South Korea, Taiwan, etc. I didn’t say you said trade doesn’t increase peace. I said you created a strawman by saying “capitalist say trade prevents war”.
    1
  2413.  @LizardSpork  "What does lack of globalisation have to do" Literally means that international trade was no where near as big as it would later become. You are aware of that, right? This isn't rocket science -- it's well established that trade has increased a lot over the years and that before economies were much more domestic oriented. > not something that guarantees peace. and like I said, you keep creating this strawman. It INCREASES the chances of peace. Or, it REDUCES the chances of war.
    1
  2414.  @LizardSpork  Germany's largest trade partners may have been those countries -- but international trade was a much smaller part of their economy than post WW2. The world was not that globalized. If it was already as high as after WW2, then the powers wouldn't have created a globalized trade system to promote more trade if it already was exceptionally high.

  2417.  @LizardSpork  > I never said "stop trading", I said "trade does not prevent war". Maybe the fact you worded your original comment in a way that is more of a strawman might be the problem. Those 'capitalist' don't say it will ALWAYS prevent war. What it does is highly reduce war. > it's not just trade that brought peace to Europe, Europe had plenty of trade just prior to WW1, Actually, trade between nations were very minimal before WW2 relative to trade afterwards. Trade actually helps foster closer relations as well, which you didn't mention. Before Ch1na went a bit crazy starting 2020, a lot of the world had at least somewhat positive opinion of China. It was only starting in 2020 for the reasons mentioned in this video that they started seeing their favorability numbers drop. " liberal democracies don't war against each other." is a given and cannot be changed from the outside, but trade is something that one country can do with another that greatly reduces trade.
    1
  2418.  @LizardSpork  "There's a tendency for capitalists to think that trade will prevent war.' It works ONLY if the other nation you're trying to change relies heavily on that trade. But if that other country is very natural resource rich, they can sell their resources to anyone. Or if they are very big market like China or India, they know you will need their trade. But Eastern Europe is a great example of it working.

  2421.  @ShubhamMishrabro  "Those people don't think they're acting racist" No racist thinks that. ".

The same people insulting other countries are often the least educated in the US who also grew up in pockets of 'their tribe'. Those that are more educated and more informed and more experienced with other groups and cultures aren't generally the ones making insults of other people/countries. You have leaders like Modi who actually enact horrible policies to make Muslim minorities a second class and trying to evict millions of them. You have Xi who is actively trying to erase Uyhgur & Muslim culture and sending millions to camps. These leaders are very well informed and not i-g-orant.

  2428.  @brianmulholland2467  "but I don't think it is." But it is. You cannot get something that you cannot get. My point is Ukraine does want crimea and will try it's hardest to get it but there MIGHT be a point where they can't make much more progress and therefore they have no choice but to give up Crimea. Donbas and Crimea are both going to be difficult to get. Donbass is right next to Russia so supplying it is the easiest. Crimea will be hard to invade as it acts like an island. > On top of that, Crimea has always gotten the majority of it's water from the Dniper river via an aqueduct. It's agricultural water, sure. But Russia will let the fields wither away to keep it. They only need to hold out for a few years before Ukraine is forced negotiate. I'm not saying Ukraine won't or can't take Crimea, just that the water is not a problem for Russia.

If Ukraine at some point has trouble with reclaiming more of it's land back, it will have to negotiate. I think they can live with giving up Crimea if they get all other territory back...Of course if Ukraine is plowing through Russia's army over the next year, they won't stop until they get it all back. And Ukraine will need certain security agreements such as being allowed to join NATO and Russia allowing it without further aggression.
    1
  2432. Ukraine says they would only go to pre-2014 borders but they need to say that for barganing reasons. I think they are willing to let Crimea go in a negotiation but they would need the rest of Ukraine back, probably some compensation, and certain security agreements. Of course if Ukraine is plowing through Russia's army over the next year, they won't stop until they get it all back.

NATO now is adding another country on Russias border and it strengthened NATO. He lost the war already

  2444. Yeah, not likely the US. Too much to lose and too little to gain for such an action. It would backfire extremely bad and cause a major rift with European countries if the US was caught. It also wouldn't be too difficult to know who did it or who didn't do it for the intelligence communities in Europe. I'm fairly certain the EU and US know who it is and there are only 2 options: 1. Russia did it. But EU & US cannot admit they have solid evidence as it might escalate the situation. 2. Some European countries and US agreed to do it for whatever reasons. But they must keep it a secret.

Besides the problems of making china wealthier just so it can use that against the west, the other problem is the unfair conditions. China heavily subsidizes many industries and makes it difficult for foreign competition to enter the market while the west doesn't do that anywhere to the degree China does.

  2470.  @basiltozer9078  fighting o the cheap? Well, sort of — they know the sanctions will make it hard to obtain main components. $1 billion a day for Russia or over $350b a year is a tremendous amount. That’s roughly how much the government spending was in total before the invasion. So they have doubled their spending cost. That would similar to US spending $4 trillion a year if you look at US government spending or also $4 trillion if you just took the war spending as % of total gdp. $4 trillion for the US would be extremely difficult long term, maybe one or two years would be okay.

  2478. There's many reasons Ukraine keeps fighting for Bakhmut. By most accounts, Russia is losing far more people as they are just sending large number of troops into the battle often just to try to overwhelm Ukraine and make small gain after small gain but at a huge costs. But also, if Ukraine just gave up Bakhmut, Russia would just be doing the same in the next town. Third, it's very likely that Ukraine is waiting on the next batch of more powerful weapons so this is a way to deplete Russian forces and weapons while Ukraine waits for the weapons to do their own surge.

Either is good for Ukraine but I would think exhausting their forces would be the better of the two. UK or some other intelligence group recently said that Russia was running into problems with supplies and weapons in Bakhmut. Maybe Russia's forces did get exhausted in terms of supplies and manpower and thus unable to continue fighting. Wagner even said they were short on weapons.

    1
  2496.  Esphaeras Praestans  most countries use a partial private - public model for energy. You mention “ you are basically exposed economies to fluctuations that have disasters consequences”. Well, that’s what it’s highly regulated. Put price caps or profit margin caps. This has worked well because it takes the business of operating the industry away from the government and gives to the a company but it is highly regulated so that the company will have to appease the government. In addition, it allows for more innovation in the industry. Lastly, if prices go up due to outside sources, the consumer is still paying that costs either though the bill (private model) or higher taxes (to pay for the higher costs energy). The fix for the private is if it goes too crazy, the government can subsidize company on the increased cost thus keeping the bills capped to the consumer and what’s left to over the rising cost will be subsidized by the government. There are fixes to all your concerns and they already exist.
    1
  2497.  Esphaeras Praestans  most nations have some levels of privatization energy and it helps a lot. But it’s not treated like a regular industry but like healthcare in Europe— heavily regulated with lots of government involved in it.

  2506.  @XMysticHerox  why though? Your suggesting the European countries that have mixed private business within healthcare, infrastructure, and education are wrong? I’ve taken the private company high speed rail in Italy and it was better than the state. Not by much but it was better. And you put it into private hands but heavily regulate it. - you give incentives to the company to innovate while also regulating it heavily so it accomplishes what you want. This is also why many energy companies are often partly public and partly private such as Frances nuclear companies before france bought it out completely or norways oil and gas company

But the person above want everyone to receive the SAME pension amount or lower income people to get more.'" I was looking at clarification from both of you and I think I got it. I certainly disagree with him on that specific argument there. " laws are not based on whats "best for the people", its based on what we want them to be " Same differences. Maybe I should reword it so that you can understand the point. Laws are based on what the people think is best for the people. At least in a democracy. So why are you talking about fairness or equal treatment of finances? The logic you used would suggest all welfare (or financial support to the poor) is wrong.

  2510.  @JustPeterSteel  what country are doing your math for? Are you factoring in that 120k after taxes is a fraction of that? I'm not sure exactly what it would it be in France but let's say it was 80k. That's only 5k per month. The house and all the bills cold be 3k. That leaves only 2k food, clothing, other bills, entertainment, etc. and that individual would have 2-3 kids.

  2511.  @asusdvh7265  There are many problems with the OP (Antoine Aublin) using productivity gain. Productivity is measured by the number of hours worked by a population. If there are fewer workers and more retired people or if workers are working fewer hours, a productive increase might still result in lower GDP and lower tax revenues. And guess what, in 2000 France dropped the full time work hours from 39 hours to 35 hours. That means that an 11% increase in productivity and no other changes (same exact number of workers / retired) would be required to just get back to 2000 levels.

  2512.  @johnsamuel1999  ' If you contribute more to the pension system, you deserve more pension amount to maintain your prior lifestyle. Its about fairness, the more you provide, the more you receive. " You must agree though that there is a cap on payout of a government pension, right? And many laws and policies are not about 'fairness' as you define it. it's about what is best for the people.

  2513.  @JustPeterSteel  one million euro/dollars is not that much these days. It's nice but you aren't living rich without a constant flow of high income. But either ways, 120k euro or dollars is not that much if you have a family and the spouse makes a lot less or doesn't work. It's a good amount if each makes 120k though. and many people only start making 120k late in their careers so it's not guaranteed they will have a lot of saved money.

  2514.  @JustPeterSteel  I’m confused. Are you saying that the more you make, the less you get in pension? That makes no sense. The US does cap how much anyone can get from social security so it doesn’t matter if you make $150k or $1,500k a year, you’ve hit the cap.

  2515.  @antoineaublin3812  I Just highlighted a major issue with your argument. I didn’t say you said the whole video was wrong.

  2516.  @antoineaublin3812  "productivity has been rising while the worker/pensioner ratio decreased, so were still producing enough wealth even with less workers in proportion". But then this assumes that people are not materially improving their lives over those decades. HEAVILY flawed argument. A lot of that productivity gain went into people buying more stuff. By your logic, the payout of the pension should be the same as it was 40 years ago.

  2517.  @phillipmamouf-wiffarts1840  correct. Poland is as bad as Hungary and they have each other’s back because most important votes like kicking someone out of the EU requires unanimous vote

  2521.  @JoffesThoughts  Great rebuttal. He's going to be seen as pro-Russian exactly for those reason,,,.he wouldn't send troops or weapons to help Russia. He was basically arguing for a neutral stance. It reminds me of a quote from a movie (Article 15 from India, great movie BTW): "Staying neutral when a fire is raging is standing with the ones who lit it".

  2522.  @moravianlion3108  "If you refer to Babis, he's only pro-Babis, nothing else." That would make him pro-Babis in regards to the rhetoric used.
