Interesting but India is even more diverse but they don’t need such centralized non democracy like China. I think your explanation makes sense for a historical reason it wanted to a single centralized state as far west as Tibet and Xinjiang but as a nuclear power, defense isn’t a reason it needs it anymore.

So many issues with this video. First, the US isn’t the only supplier of weapons and aid to Ukraine. Europe has provided just as much as the US yet no mention of European aid. Second, for months already Ukraine has been shooting down drones with the German-made Gepard system, a vehicle that can send dual streams of 35mm rounds ripping into the sky to hit the drones. They are not using $100,000 missiles. Third, the video doesn’t seem to describe the consequences of all the actions mentioned that Russia is undertaking. The video suggest that Russia could put up with even 10:1 (10 Russian losses to 1 Ukrainian loss) ratio of losses for a long time. Each round of mobilization will make the war less popular In Russia. You cannot use WW2 as an example of how much Russia is willing to lose in terms of people’s lives because WW2 they were fighting to preserve the existence of the country – so Ukraine today would be a better comparison to Russia in WW2. In addition, the video mentions that mobilization of the poor, minorities, and disenfranchised communities wouldn’t pose big problems for the Kremlin. But it will, certainly for the minority regions where approval for Moscow is lower than the rest of the country. This could lead to potential revolts.

This channel makes way too many excuses for russia. It almost never mentions the underlying problem - russia itself a a very aggressive country that all its neighbors fear. Instead, this channel tries to portray Russia a victim as much as possible. He’s from Azerbaijan which is friendly with Russia so maybe that’s where his bias comes from.
2
I don't believe the video was saying it would happen this year because it most certainly won't. What it laid out would take a while - maybe 2 years at a min. But what you describe with such a besiege of the peninsula is more likely and would also not happen in 2023.

How does if resonate in rich nations today? You’re just another wumao — even blaming Ukraine for Russia invading them in other comments

@zeninsight5606 the Arab spring was a result of authoritarian non democracy control. China or any country could avoid it with democracy.
2
@dfhwze Seems like the US was right to not have NS2 as it would give RUS to much power. But RU did not have 'good relations with EU', RU just did business regarding gas with a few countries. There was certainly zero interest in RU being part of the EU as RU was and is too corrupt. Perhaps interest in the 90's and early 00's when the west believed RU might change but certainly not by late 00's.

Exactly. It's not the best video because it suggest there is no democracy solution to their problems. There is one indeed. But it requires a lot of work and it requires the powers in the west of Russia to give up some of their powers and wealth and have some of that political power and wealth spread to the east.

@arrow1414 that didn’t actually answer the question. Do you see Vichy France as allied to Germany? Simple question — no trick question. Maybe Norway during that period should have a label like Vichy France that is more accurate?

@untitled6391 vpn is legit though

@rosswasonabreak7002 so many Indian nationalist online since Russia invaded Ukraine. Even saying that India is partially supporting Russia leads to Indian nationalist saying either 1. No, India isn’t doing that. India just does what’s best for India. Or 2. Yes, because the west the bad. Indian nationalist can’t take any critic just like trump supporters and CCP supporters

@jonson856 Also, European nationalist are very different than Russia, China, India, etc. They tend to be more focused just on keeping immigrants out. You don't see the same strength of nationalism when it comes to foreign policy unlike these other countries. I think you make a great point on why its like that. All those wars lead it to value peace and cooperation. The US (I'm from the US) is kind of in between. Not being so close to all those destructive wars of Europe, the US doesn't have that strong push that Europe got to value peace & cooperation as much as Europe. But being in the same western sphere, a big share of Americans do value that. On the right wing where the US nationalist are found, they are split between more libertarian views and nationalist opinions on foreign affairs. I'll be checking out those videos you mentioned.

@文雯-o6o are you from China? Sounds like a Beijing reply. “Unify Taiwan”, so you mean five China back the government of Taiwan? The government that actually fought the Japanese in ww2?
2
@文雯-o6o also, Japan has apologized for ww2. Even a Wikipedia page of the many times it’s been done. The page is titled “List of war apology statements issued by Japan”
2
@文雯-o6o In regards to Taiwan, so you agree the ROC did the vast majority of the fighting? I also know that people of China are (or were) taught that it was mostly the Chinese themselves with USSR 2nd in stopping Japan. When in reality over 2/3 of Japanese deaths were from the US. Not sure if that's what still is taught in schools. but 30+ year old people I know said that.
2
@widodoakrom3938 Why is a st-p1d decision? You mean it's better they hold on to the past so they can oppress it's people and threaten it's neighbors? How does that make them better?
2
@文雯-o6o my ex is from China. About 4 years ago we were watching a world war 2 documentary on Netflix (8-10 episodes). About 3 or the episodes are on the pacific fighting and she was surprised how little she knew that the US was the main reason for defeat. She told me she had thought it was china first, Russia 2nd, and US was the 3rd best factor in japans defeat. She said they mostly focused on Russias very late entrance when the foreign country support came up and the atomic bomb at the end by the US. She didn’t realize how many American lives were lost and how most of japans losses were to the US.
2
@文雯-o6o It wasn't just her but many other Chinese who told me somewhat similar stories. They all basically reduce the US importance to the two atomic bombs while they were much more aware of the USSR coming over in 1946 to fight Japan for a few weeks. Again, I'm talking about people who are in their 30's, mostly mid to late 30's. It's possible that they don't teach the same in more recent years.

And Johnny Harris. 3 videos on China in less than 5 days.

@Sayfullah570 what a lïë. First NATO had nothing to do with invasion of Iraq - later some members did go but not as NATO. Second, Libya was UN sanctioned. It was a few members NATO, not actual NATO as a whole. UN doesn’t have any military.
2
@thelikesofus324 y u people lïé so much? Afghanistan was a US invasion, not NATO. They did get some NATO support later because 9/11 was considered an attack on a NATO member so there goes your argument
2
@thelikesofus324 Libya was UN sanctioned operation and only some members of NATO were involved. It was not a NATO invasion. Get your facts straight comrade

@victormacdougall6395 you have the most ignorance I’ve seen on the topic. The fighters don’t agree with the Taliban just because they didn’t fight. You even said the country is mostly tribal. Since it’s mostly tribal, the government fighters don’t have much allegiance to the federal government thus weren’t willing to die for the government.
2
@victormacdougall6395 saying that the Taliban Believe in The Quran and others believe in the Quran so therefore Taliban has the support of most afghans is the dumbest thing I’ve read. You already agreed in your other comment that most of Afghanistan is tribal. Most of the country doesn’t want to be ruled by other tribes and the Taliban tribes are a minority of the people. Hey, let me guess…you’re ignorant to believe that most Indians supported the British empire since British empire controls India?!?
2
@victormacdougall6395 You: “sometimes that takes a lifetime. Sometimes it takes 6-7 lifetimes. What is your point?” You’re arguing that those who rule have majority approval which is pure ignorance and your way of defending the Taliban. You’re saying people will rise up against the Taliban if Taliban doesn’t have majority support. By your dumb logic, the British were extremely popular in Indian 19th century because British ruled and did so for 200 years. You clearly make these lies to suggest Taliban has majority support since you support them.

@nikomann88 I do not agree with your statement that the wealthy and well connected will invest in the agricultural or financial sectors, but never in the more complex industrial sector. in fact, agricultural sectors are probably not a sector that the wealthy usually want to invest in. In Argentina, they probably avoid the industrial sector because they don’t have trust in the government And the economic policies. Argentina is remote, but so is Australia, and they are very rich and chile is right next to Argentina, and had very strong success in the last 30 years. Deregulation is how Asia has gotten rich and yet you think it’s bad for Argentina? It seems to be that there is a lot more going on. I do agree that Argentina’s demand first world worker rise and salaries, but had to compete with for example, Brazilian society, and other such countries . This is what I mean that Argentina’s economic issues are related to populism where the government gives everything that the people demand which then turns into issues, which they try to correct only to return back to populism. Rinse and repeat.

@cseijifja Argentina is too small of a market to have such heavy tariffs. Only works with large domestic market, such as the United States and China, and a couple of others that have enough local buyers that you could theoretically have tariffs and improve industries for the most part. most countries that succeed in building industry will have low or no tariffs though may protect an industry or two in which the country will focus on developing.

@Emmett-Shearer9886 Simon Kusnetz made that statement decades ago and it was true. It’s still true today if you Change the wording — “Japan is a surprise it has grown so much and Argentina is a surprise it hasn’t grown much”.
2
@Emmett-Shearer9886 I think you misunderstood the comment from the economist several decades ago. It was using a little hyper bole to make a point that Japan does not have the conditions to have grown so much while Argentina has the perfect conditions to grow tremendously. Of course he is an economist and would know that economic policies were the difference.
2
@KaiserFranzJosefI you know there is a huge difference between you saying “single largest factor” vs him saying “there were lots of factors, this was the nail in the coffin”

You are right, should have mentioned nukes as defense but…This channel makes way too many excuses for russia. It almost never mentions the underlying problem - russia itself a a very aggressive country that all its neighbors fear. Instead, this channel tries to portray Russia a victim as much as possible. He’s from Azerbaijan which is friendly with Russia so maybe that’s where his bias comes from.

@MB2.0 you have no source that Jeannie Añez arbitrarily executed large number of indigenous Bolivians. And to call it a coup after proceeding with elections and then losing just destroys any credibility you Beijing worker had.

@Goluboi, yeah it’s actually good for someone that clearly doesn’t speak fluent Spanish.

@orclover2353 It's not 2x the support. It really matters what you are measuring. For example, you were misleading by using " EU institutions ". A lot of the aid from Europe came outside the EU. Also, Just weapons? Total amount that includes financial support? Weapons plus physical goods such as medicine, generators, etc? And it matters if you are comparing what has already been given or are you measuring given + pledged? In terms of total aid, US has about 2x that of the "EU intuitions". But UK has given about 20% of what EU institutions has givens. Germany has given 15%+ of what EU has given. Poland has also contributed heavily. So lots of countries have given aid in addition to the EU aid.

@TheAkkerman228 Your whole post makes no sense. Ukraine does not have over 1 million soliders. they have 500k total military personal and only some fraction of that are soldiers. And many of those soliders aren't in the frontline -- they are defending other areas. But Russia did send 500k just to the frontline! And there is literally videos of Russia just sending unprepared troops to fight just so they can gather info on Ukrainian positions. One video even shows over 100 dead Russians in field.

@Bayard1503 China is in a better position to go green since they are growing economically and needing more and more energy. North America and Europe already built up their power plants and infrastructure so going green often means having to ditch some infrastructure already built or it's only going to go green on some of the more limited new power that is needed.

Why do you need to wonder? It wasn’t just the French in Europe that took issues.
1
@thewolfofswingthat2035 you lot don’t understand. they don’t have to support the US in any aggression or perceived aggression. France wants individual power. It’s that simple that. It’s funny you complain about the US aggression against a Muslim country (how many years has it been since the US invaded iraq?) while France is basically providing some level of support for Russia after they committed perhaps the worst war violation we have seen in a long time — invaded a sovereign country that wasn’t making any threats to it nor threats to anyone else in an attempt for a land grab and committing SEVERE war crimes in the process. Edit: I see in another comment your defending China and saying the US is planning to invade China. So you don’t care about France, you are just anti American.

@tim3440 Except it's something that gets repeated A LOT and thus I don't think it's a joke that most people know is inaccurate. People get it's a joke, they just think it's a "it's funny because it's true" joke.
1
@tim3440 A lot of jokes aren't true. And a lot of jokes are based on truth. And I know many people think that joke is based on truth so I was just providing some facts and context for those that think it's based on truth. It's just facts I'm providing. Dont take it too serious mate.
1
@lookingforsomething Exactly. It is extremely inaccurate -- the opposite is actually true. Americans pay about twice that of Europe for healthcare so money isn't the issue. It's ideology of the right wing in the US that is holding it back.

@sailormatlac9114 Canada on a per capita basis is top 10 not including small populated countries. And Mexico is also in that Region but very poor. Portugal and Spain are much poorer than Canada despite their proximity to Europe.

@bignuts4943 you make no sense comrade Ivan.

@bignuts4943 “obvious decline of the US vs China”. China has 1/4 the gdp per capita the US does and this will be the 2nd year in 3 years where China has under 4% gdp growth. China is in decline and barely reaching middle income status. Also, gdp nominal vs ppp isn’t just relevant to China and Russia and whoever you said. That’s why I called you comrade Ivan (or should it be comrade Zhou?) because the same argument can be said of any other country such as Mexico, India, etc. But you wanted to defend your precious Russia and China. Slava Ukraini! Free Tibet! Free Xinjiang! Free Hong Kong! Free West Taiwan!

@MB2.0 what law states that Taiwan is territory of the PRC? Not having a seat in UN isn’t evidence that Taiwan belongs to PRC. And we all know why Taiwan doesn’t have a seat…your precisos oppressive China would start a war if that happened. So just because big baby PRC needs to be appeased to save lives doesn’t mean all the countries believe Taiwan belongs to the PRC
