  1. Peter Zeihan summed it up best: When we were living on the farms, children were free labor. In an urban environment, children are an expensive hobby.

  2. I think Ukraine has shown every country worth their salt that they need to be able to develop their own arms industry. No matter how small, it has become a national security issue to have your own supply of arms production in the case of invasion. Drones have changed the equation of modern warfare.

  3. This problem of caste discrimination extends into foreign countries like the US. We had cases filed in the US for discrimination between Indians of different castes in the workplace.

  4. SK diversifying their production outside the country means any strike by NK does not cripple the SK arms supply. They can simply import the same arms from partner countries.

  5. In some ways, Singapore is superior to HK and Switzerland. Singapore is independent and has water access. This is important because Singapore can diversify its economy while keeping its finance system.

  6. And the US who is always itching to get into wars immediately NOPES out of this one.

  7. Considering that Armenia got screwed when they requested aid from Russia when Azerbaijan attacked them and Russia refused, I can not see how Belarus thinks being aligned to Russia is beneficial. It is no different than remaining neutral.

  8. If Japan was serious about reform, do the following: Resolve its border dispute with South Korea. Start drilling for more oil in its economic zone. Have its oil companies explore for oil in Africa. Build more nuclear power plants and geothermal plants. Provide tax breaks for companies to invest in facilities in the rural areas of Japan where land is cheap. Incentivize workers to move to these lower cost areas with their jobs. This would boost the real income of the people.

  9. Sri Lanka's woes are not all China's fault. Yes, they accepted loans to build ports with overly optimistic projections. But they also went woke with unrealistic climate change policies like mass organic farming and 100% renewable energy goals. Their own government undermined their own food and energy supplies.

  10. The Russians were geared towards defensive war. Their supply lines were designed for this with their dependence on rail. The Russians can take over Ukraine, but it will be logistically inefficient.

  11. Ukraine should have never given up its nukes.

  12. I increased my purchases from Japan. It was glorious with such a favorable usd to yen rate.

  13. My money is on Vietnam considering the Vietnamese beat China once before.

  14. North Korea, Sudan and Democratic Republic of the Congo has entered the chat.

  15. Austin Powers is now running to be in charge of Argentina.

  16. People especially in CA have no will nor courage to make the necessary decisions to solve our water problems. They refuse to build more reservoirs and use more reclaimed water.

  17. Who in Russia thought having its nukes on the Kola Peninsula was a good idea?

  18. Exactly. The ATF needs to stop supplying the cartels with surplus law enforcement weapons.

  19. It does not help the Democrats when states like CA and NJ call Florida as bigots for their law and then get caught for violating their own laws for introducing inappropriate materials of a sexual nature in K-6.

  20. How do you get firearm deaths when you have the strictest gun controls? We were told time and time again that banning guns reduces gun deaths. Do you mean to tell me criminals ignore the law while leaving law abiding citizens defenseless!?

  21. France can make whatever decisions it wants. Do not cry for help when shit goes sideways. France should know this very well.

  22. Being helium cooled is a huge problem considering the world is going to have a helium shortage.

  23. I hope SK makes better military gear than washing machines and phones.

  24. Guam should also consider becoming a state.

  25. To be fair, the Russians were their own worst enemy. Their incompetence gave the biggest advantage to Ukraine.

  26. Russia should have invaded Afghanistan with the goal of taking over Pakistan to give it a warm water port in the Indian Ocean.

  27. It does not help the US is burning cash dealing with their Southern Border.

  28. The Soviets freaked out the West with its Foxbat fighter. You could say Reagan learned the trick from the Soviets.

  29. The moment the NK people see SK and what they were missing for decades, the Kim family and their associates would be hung in the city square.

  30. It is about time! Nuclear is not what it used to be in the 70's. Current reactor designs are very safe. Nuclear providing a stable base load means other renewables can succeed.

  31. I give China 5 years before they Nope out of Afghanistan.

  32. Even if Russia keeps what it took which is the land bridge to Crimea and Crimea itself, it paid a heavy price that will cause the country's slow descent to dissolution. They are still sanctioned and even if they are lifted, it will take a decades to recover. The Russian population will continue to decline and now at an accelerated rate with the deaths of all those men. It is the WW2 drop all over again.

  33. It is not homeless. It is drug addicts.

  34. What happened in the beginning of June in the US? Oh right, tens of thousands of people protesting, rioting, and looting while city leaders did nothing.

  35. Germany destroyed its nuclear power plants, became dependent on Russian gas and now they are burning coal while they have unreliable solar. All the while, they criticize other countries of not doing enough to reduce carbon emissions. Ridiculous.

  36. So the issue is the voters. They do not want pension reforms.

  37. When your flag has an AK-47 on it, buyer beware.

  38. Has anyone considered Haiti as a country should just cease to exist and merge with its neighbor, the Dominican Republic?

  39. Russia had to buy ammo from North Korea. Let that sink in on how ridiculous that concept is.

  40. Thank goodness! A non Russian or Ukraine video!

  41. The Soviets tried. The US tried. Let the Chinese try. Let them find out why Afghanistan is called the graveyard of empires.

  42. 60% failure rate still means 40% worked. You just need enough arms to compensate.

  43. I do not see a problem with strict vetting or even shutting borders to illegals. Just look at the US southern border. The second largest nationality group is CHINESE. There are Indian, Nigerian and Haitians, too. Let that sink in. These are not asylum seekers. These are economic migrants.

  44. This is not surprising. Does anyone think gold miners see any profits from the IPhones sold with their materials used to manufacture them?

  45. As an American, please stop equating police presence with discrimination. That is a blatant lie. Cops go where the crime is. Do you know what happens when you tell cops not to go where the criminals are? You end up with the situations like East Oakland, Los Angeles, and San Francisco's Tenderloin.

  46. Efforts to retake Crimea by the Ukranians will be a bloodbath. It has always been one historically. Nobody will give it up and neither side will waver. Crimea will be the quagmires of quagmires. The Japanese have a better chance of getting back their Kuril Islands than Ukraine getting back Crimea.

  47. The analysis is garbage. How do you have a problem with race when the police responds to calls made by the public? The only way that happens is if they screen for black offender which never happens. The looting and rioting are opportunists using the protests as cover to commit crimes. This is nothing new.

  48. Time to hand out rifles, ammo, Stinger missiles and launchers to every Ukranian citizen.

  49. The greens wanted this because they were fearmongering on nuclear.

  50. The one good service the Wagner groups is doing is clearing out Russian prison overpopulation and eliminating recidivism. Silver linings.
