  1.  @PseudoProphet  greater India (what we now know as India Pakistan Bangladesh) was probably never undivided until the Brits. India we now know was rarely undivided and almost always a few different nations or whatever the appropriate term would be (state?).

  3.  @peterwarner553  it matters a lot what China says otherwise Australia gets bullied around. It’s in Australias best long term interest to form stronger alliances with pacific nations and to stand up to China.

  6.  @kurosai006ichigo3  Basically what your saying is that facts don't matter to Kurosai and made things up. The RMB (Yuan) is the 5h most traded currency. In terms of currency reserve, The RMB is also 5th at only 2.7% vs US 58%. The reasons nobody wants to use the RMB are detailed by OP. >China gets foothold in other nations just as US does (US gives military, US benefit lore military bases.China builds in construction and nation building China debt traps. Give bad loans then forces them to vote for them in UN all while IMF ends up bailing many of those loans.

  7.  @commie5211  " but yuan can actually buys everything people needs." No it can't. The RMB is controlled by CN in how much is available to be sold / bought and since others don't have faith in RMB, they won't accept it. US dollar is accepted everywhere in the world and that's why CN itself trades almost entirely in US dollars.

  8. This is not at all serving Saudi Arabia’s long term interests. This is bad for KSA. Dictators seem to be increasingly making bad decisions.

  9.  @hkchan1339  the decline in the ceiling was happening before social media but it seem to accelerate with social media / internet. In the 90’s New Gingrich began the culture wars and began the divisive politics that would morph into the tea party in 2009/10 and then the trump party of today. But around 2009 and after starting with the tea party it’s when everything just crumbled. Each side became more entrenched in their side.

  10. Coincidence? I think n..so.

  11.  @davidford3115  Let’s all ignore that the US has tariffs of 25% on steel, 10% aluminum, 25% on trucks, 15%-30% washing machines, 15% on solar panels, shoes (historically 37%+), and so much more. And also subsidize on many farm and agricultural products, oil, And also require the U.S. government to purchase American‐made materials for the purposes of public construction plus many other similar programs.

  12.  @davidford3115  Oh, so you're argument is that I am right about those tariffs from the US has but since the video says the US isn't entirely closed off or that it's still mostly free trade, it means you can criticize Europe for doing the same thing the US does?

  13.  @davidford3115  But like a typical American, you chose to ignore the dirty little details that destroy your narrative. This coming from an American

  14. If Ukraine gained experience fighting since 2014, who where they fighting and why didn’t they get experience?

  15. They weren't losing money for a while but now they are. They bought the lands from the government at a high price or bought lands from others at a high price. They then have to spend money developing it and then the market no longer wants to pay a profitable price so they the developers and buyers (home owners) are losing out.

  16. @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?

  17. Socialist, keep in mind cuba doesn’t produce oil and Venezuela even at its peak was producing far less than Saudi Arabia. I’m not sure the relevance of either to the topic especially Cuba.

  18.  @carlramirez6339  Yes, but I left those out because they are much smaller economies. Even Taiwan is not as big as SK but it's still about 50% the size at 24m or so. Singapore, Israel, Ireland all under 10m population. Makes me wonder what larger countries (if any) recently went into upper income without a decent automotive industries

  19.  @shotikoo  no way you’re Georgian. Blaming Georgia for everything and then criticizing EU but not Russia? Wow, how is Moscow today?

  20.  @subutai999  lol, nice catch. These Ruzzians are everywhere. What you caught with is like catching someone pretending to be Ukrainian then spells “Kiev” rather than Kyiv.

  21.  @davidford3115  " It's hard on the furniture, and hard on the people." I don't get it --hard on furniture? But yes, that was my point that that he's aged a lot because he's not only president but because he's been under seige for 6 months. He aged more in the first 6 months of the war than he did in the prior 2 years as president.

  22. So you think Germany is still like Adolph’s 1930’s and think South Korea is a dictatorship??

  29.  @valyshknee4203  " they did almost none compared to us and bosnia like, dude, our countries". What? All the research and investigations found that Serbia did the most. The fact you mention Muslims tells me you are a far right winger or Serbian.

  30.  @dustintacohands1107  “I don’t care for trump” is a lot like saying that you aren’t bothered by someone that cussed an insurrection, spread mis info on election results, and was a danger to everyone in congress.

  31.  @BOIOLA08  exactly. It’s only important as a back up route but it’s super expensive and not practical other than in time of need.

  32.  @BOIOLA08  exactly. And even then, it only provides some relief because no way it could replace even half of what Chinas has coming through those straights near Malaysia.

  33.  @RS-ls7mm  it’s kind of odd to disagree that relative to other large regions, Latin America isn’t the most homogeneous.

  34. This folks is Russian paid account, Navin KV. In other comments defending Russia in Ukraine and criticizing Ukraine while here he describes the US as if it’s still the Cold War. The US hasn’t sent troops into Latin America in many years.

  37. 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.

  38.  @Kevin-mk6jo  AQ was based in Afghanistan and most of their attacks were planned and financed in Afghanistan. However, Those that Carried out the 9/11 attack were recruited in Saudi Arabia

  39. Taiwan is recognized as a country in practice by the vast majority of the world. Just because they don’t recognize it in the UN in order to not upset baby bully China doesn’t mean they treat Taiwan as a country.

  42. What CN and Rus 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.

  43.  @JordanHarbingerShow  yes, the recipient gets the notification and can see the comment in their notification but no one else can see the comment. I’ve noticed many times my comments don’t show up if I spell out the “gen” “ocide” word. Only noticed it when I used desktop and logged off because if you don’t log off, the comment appears to be there for person who made it. Even talking about comments being removed often gets auto removed

  44.  @jeremygibbs7342  You're replying to someone who has no intent of having an honest discussion. He talks about the west as if it's still plundering the low income countries while his country (Chna) is literally plundering the seas and trying to take it away from low income countries like Vietnam, Philippines, and Indonesia.

  45.  @jeremygibbs7342  I'm mixed on whether those type of people will ever change their opinion. He's completely buying every CCP talking point so I doubt he cares about other opinions. That said, it still is important for other readers of these comments to correct these bad faith arguments

  46. 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.

  47. Just as I clicked on a video about how polarized US politics is, I get a pro Trump political ad using lies about Biden

  48.  @piruz3243  French Revolution eventually lead to democracy. As bad as Russia is today it’s much better the the even more oppressive USSR. Cubas and irán revolution weren’t a democrat one. But most democracies today became democracies through revolutions either small or large or fighting against their foreign government. Almost all the Americas for example. Much of Africa. Most European countries.

  49.  @ruleoftwo6174  I would say the China only cared about money before. With Xi, it’s far more nationalist and Chinas economic growth is shrinking fast so Xi appears to be trying to gain support like Putin — with aggressive foreign policies.

  50. No you won’t. There a HUGE differences between the two. Qatar was basically finding ways to trap them in Qatar. Do you work for Beijing or Moscow?
