  1. @broederbond60  I think I've heard the short version. You think Ukraine doesn't have the right to put missiles on their side of their border with Russia, right?

  2. There's a monument in Buenos Aires that looks a bit like the Washington Monument.

  6. One question that so far I don't think Briggs or anyone in the peanut gallery has adequately answered: what exactly does it mean for a country to collapse? For just the government and its institutions to shut down? As several commenters have noted, life often goes on for the common people in a lot of countries with nonfunctioning governments like Somalia and Yemen. For a country to get militarily invaded like Ukraine? Whatever your thoughts on that war, Zelenskyy and his government are still hanging in there, at least for the moment. For a country to de-facto split up like Somalia, have areas it doesn't fully control like Mexico, or be contested by a bunch of overlapping claims from other countries like with Western Sahara? Again, life for the common people can get miserable to the point where a lot give up and try to migrate to (somewhat) more stable surroundings in the First World, but a lot still manage to tough it out.

  9.  @Stang_Gang_8  Maybe not imminently, but political polarization has reached gridlock stage, poor areas of the country are basically 3rd world status, liberals and conservatives both have growing distrust of our federal and legal institutions (if for different reasons), and the middle class has basically disappeared. Like I said last time, if pundits and the general public are seriously wondering if there's going to be a Civil War 2 or just a USSR-style breakup (Marge Greene called it "a national divorce") then no, I don't think the US is in a good place right now. Ditto for Canada (which has similar socioeconomic issues as well as Quebec perennially threatening to secede along a movement for the western provinces to secede) and the UK (where the Scots have been speaking more strongly about secession).

  10. @Stang_Gang_8  By "last time" I was actually referring to a comment I made for the previous video on this subject. Sorry for the confusion.

  11. So we'll split into a bunch of independent countries? I'll take that over Civil War 2.
