  1. 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.

  2.  @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.

  3. 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.

  4. 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

  5.  @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?

  6. 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.

  7.  @e24news_KE  would South Korea today be better off it was controlled by North Korea?

  8. It's a tax on hope from the poor.

  9. 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.

  10.  @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.

  11. Good pun. I dig it.

  12. @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.

  13.  @SEBASTIANTRUJILLOGONZALEZ  also, I see you defending Russia and supporting them in other comments. No surprise you defend North Korea here

  14. Two of my favorite YouTubers doing a collab, Johnny Harris and Adam Ragusa! Also, interesting thing about MSG is that it had racial history behind the anti MSG movement and became engrained in US but then spread to China. Many in China are also hesitant about MSG!

  15. WHY ARE WE SCREAMING?!?

  16.  @Zombification23  I think it's fair to discuss the past atrocities but it's also fair to put everything into today's context. Today, the vast majority of Puerto Ricans want either status quo or closer ties to the US. A video like this might lead people to think that the US is today actively colonizing PR when PR now has a choice and they vote against indepdence by a huge margin. But still, this is a story worth telling.

  17.  @SEBASTIANTRUJILLOGONZALEZ  yes, no way that North Korea is actually making those threats? And South Korean army is preparing for it just in case. But sure, just propa ganda

  18. @ankidoom “this is what it means”. No, the video and title suggest Eastern Europe has no agency and were pressured.

  19. Very informative video. I knew about some of these details but wow, this was a lot more information than I knew about the whole history of the milk lie.
    6
  20. I couldn’t get more than 5 min into the video precisely for what is mentioned in this top comment. It’s Russian propagandist arguments that suggest Eastern Europe has no agency

  21.  @henrykwieniawski7233  “yes the economy was booming under Trump”. Except for his final year where the economy tanked and we hit a recession. But you are going to respond that the crash was because of the pandemic… which would be funny if you did because then you would be giving that excuse for Trump but not for Biden who has to deal with all the global issues that happened because of the pandemic

  22.  @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.

  23. @f-86zoomer why aren’t you fighting for Russia on the frontlines?

  24. Just an FYI, the video early on suggest europe was poor when they started exploring And colonizing the world. That’s not true. In 1500, Western Europe had a higher gdp per capita than China or India. By 1600, when only Spain and Portugal had any substantial colonies, Western Europe had 50% higher gdp per capita than China or India. What europe lacked in natural resources they had made up with innovation and better run economies.

  25.  @aaron284  I don't see JPY at all. ¥2,500 is what I see with a heard and a dollar sign before it.

  26.  @cosmicgregg  Actually, most polling has shown US has positive approval ratings in most countries around the world. In fact, in Vietnam the US has a his favorability and the same in Latin America where many coups happened.

  27.  @cosmicgregg  I’m left of center. But the people the consistently say that US is mostly disliked and used the argument falacies you used are often very left wing
    5
  28.  @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.

  29. Giving a voice to the worst and not fact checking them is dangerous. I like that he has all types of people, just dislike so much he doesn't challenge people who are spewing dangerous stuff.

  30. Mexico has a severe cartel violence problem but they don’t talk about it as much and just live their lives. Same with South Korea living on with the real possibility of a North Korean attack.

  31. @ @ankidoom “a couple of Eastern Europeans begged to joint USSR”. Most did not

  32. This was exactly why I couldn’t watch the video. Even before clicking on the video, I know Johnny likes to make very anti west or US videos. He criticizes others as well but when about the US, he often goes too far and too loose on the facts. I caught the first few minutes and gave up knowing it was just one bad take after another. And your post has much of the info I was thinking

  33.  @hegaliandialectics4289  "Literally the former president of Guatemala who actually wasn’t even communist" Ok, so not a communist. Made my point. "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.

  34.  @CJONTHEHOUSE  yeah, gdp is going to be a function of mostly population size. The point is that europe relatively yo India and China weren’t poorer peasants as described in the video. You’re logic is saying Singaporeans are poorer than Indians in 2022. Would you call India a rich country and Singapore a poor country?
    4
  35.  @CJONTHEHOUSE  that’s LITERALLY what you suggests when argued against gdp per capita
    4
  36.  @CJONTHEHOUSE  but the Singaporean on average are wealthier than the US. What are you trying to suggest from the comparison? Spell it out
    4
  37.  @CJONTHEHOUSE  huh, of course you won’t respond. You won’t say what you tried to suggest because you did try to suggest that people of india and China were richer than Western Europe in 1500 by trying to point to total gdp

  38. The video early on suggest europe was poor when they started exploring And colonizing the world. That’s not true. In 1500, Western Europe had a higher gdp per capita than China or India. By 1600, when only Spain and Portugal had any substantial colonies, Western Europe had 50% higher gdp per capita than China or India. What europe lacked in natural resources they had made up with innovation and better run economies. Italy, Netherlands and that region, and UK were already doing much better than China and India on per capita basis by 1500. By 1600 almost all of Western Europe was well ahead of China and India.

  40.  @Zombification23  If they are in support of being territories, I don't think that would fit the definition of colonialism. Certainly not what people usually mean by it. Most large countries have territories.

  41.  @vere9652  do you think these people understand any of this history?

  42.  @Malik-lh4jh  you do realize those lands never belong to the Palestn people? It was ottoman and British.

  43.  @cyberverse9141  there were hundreds of thousands before 1917 but how did the Arabs get there?

  44.  @Okay_justcallmekim  the economy argument doesn’t make sense unless ur Ruzzian. You’re saying that Georgia should remain a vassal of Ruzzia because of trade it does with Ruzzia? And it ignores that being part of EU will be much better economically for Georgia

  45.  @Malik-lh4jh  what’s the lie? Who attacked in 1948?

  46.  @NewsGuyFred  most certainly a Moscow type

  48.  @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.

  49.  @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
  50.  @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”
