  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?).

  2.  @SeeLasSee  I'm referring to the recent war with over 600,000 fatalities. And the famine from a few decades ago was in part to the govt making it difficult to get food to the people -- it's happening again. From AP >The United States Agency for International Development suspended all food assistance to the northern Ethiopian region of Tigray “until further notice” while it investigates the theft of humanitarian supplies. The U.N. confirmed earlier reports that it was doing the same.

  4.  @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.

  5.  @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.

  9. 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.

  12.  @junkeatng  “the rhetoric of EU and US has also faded as Russia is making gains”. Wow, spotted a paid account. 3 high profile leaders of the EU just visited Ukraine last week, that includes France Germany and Italy leaders. And they recently passed an EU bill to ban all Russian oil by the end of the year. And the US just approved another major round of aid to Ukraine. No surprise the guy who subscribes to Chinese govt paid YouTubers is also not being truthful about Ukraine - Russia

  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.  @Bill-zp2mt  Donald trump is a case of its own. This channel is hard on the Bernie types and Trump types. So if it’s strongly left, why are they hard on Bernie and AOC? Lots of right of center in Europe also dislike trump. Iirc, around 30% of conservative voters in the UK would pick trump over Biden and 70% chose Biden

  17. 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.

  18. @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?

  19.  @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.

  20.  @neldenscarlet9570  if you make a comment about China, you will have CCP trolls responding to you.

  21. 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.

  22.  @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.

  25.  @lvd8122  there is video from Vice news of a massive bribing operation of China inside of Guyana so the future doesn’t look good. Right now it’s easy go spend on the easiest infrastructure projects but a decade from now, such corruption will eat away at their potential.
    3
  26. 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.

  27. 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.

  31. 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.

  32.  @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.

  34.  @jeffs4483  but why do you defend Castillo coup attempt? Authoritarian leftist are the w0rst. I see you in other comments calling it a coup against Castillo

  35. This is much worse than trump. Trump just tried to suggest to his supporters to do a coup — Castillo actually tried It himself.

  36.  @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.

  37.  Chí Phèo nguyễn  bro, you dumb or what? Covid19 is 2020 and we are talking about the Soviets and communist China (before they turned capitalist). What’s going on with you?!? Communist China and USSR were not governments that cared for their people. Stalin and Mao each killed tens of millions of their own people!!

  38.  Chí Phèo nguyễn  you aren’t very smart if you think communist countries like the USSR, China etc didn’t interfere with capitalist nations. Both sides did the same...and who easily won? The capitalist west because their economic policies were more successful

  39.  @mclilzenthepoet2331  the economic policies are also very different among the two though but the social issues are the much bigger divide now. Economically the Democrats support higher taxes and bigger government spending than Republicans

  45.  @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.

  47. 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.

  48. 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?

  49.  @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.

  50.  @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.
