@JN-wr9he Europe has among the best human rights. You think Turkey has better human right? Or Russia? Or China? Who are you defending? You won't answer because you know I'm right.

@JN-wr9he "A matter of perspective" is exactly what someone who defends h0rrible regimes like Russia and China would say.

Good plan but ultimately it’s all about executions. Hope to see it work out

538 and NYT polling experts have reviewed the polling and found it decently legit number. Pre invasion, it was 71% and 538 polling experts said it was a good poll. Let’s stop pretending that most Russians don’t support Putin — Putin controls the media for a reason.

And how do they measure this? Easy, take one group and split them into two. Group 1 you ask “how many of the following 3 things do you support”. For other group, add one additional question yo the original 3 so ask “how many of the following 4 do you support”. That 4th question is is asking if they supper Putin. The difference between the two groups tells you how many people support Putin. So if In the control group they answers on average 2.2 out of 3 and in thr other group they averaged 3.0 out of 4.0, it means Putin has the support of 80% (.8 out 1.0 from asking if they support Putin).

@victormacdougall6395 You: “If you’re looking for a Taliban supporter look at Ronald Reagan” More ignorance from you. We are literally in a thread of a video that described how the Taliban formed in Pakistan with Saudi money and Pakistan support them who went into Afghanistan to defeat the mujahideen who where the group givin funding by Reagan. Why do you lie so much? Oh, to defend your Taliban.

@aj2228 What a great joke!! It's so....so much a signal of your Russian support.

@aj2228 Afghanistan attacked the US. Libya operation was a UN approved mission and the operation was lead by Europe. But hey, Russia defended Assad in Syria as as Assad was dropping chemical weapons on civilians and Russia was purposely targeting civilians and hospitals.
1
@aj2228 There is complexity in my thought. Defending Russia's invasion or refusing to admit t was wrong is 'pro Russia'. And I understand to some degree why many Indian nationalist support Russia -- it's a history of ties going back at least 50 years. But that doesn't mean these nationalist aren't making up things, aren't defending Russia, aren't constantly attacking anyone that criticizes India's government or policies.
1
@aj2228 You offered nothing of substance. You just make comments but don't support your argument. That's probably why you are complaining about me actually giving details to support my argument.
1
@aj2228 That's the response I expected of someone who don't support their arguments because they can't.

In a world where communism is dead, China can't rally support around their 'communist' beliefs. So they have will need to be friendly with nations -- but almost no country trusts China. Thus China will have a hard time making strong alliances just like Russia. Russia has only a handful of close friends but even most of those would drop Russia if the situation changes.

@nikomann88 the protectionisms and tariffs, especially export tariffs in the long run, prevent industry from growing. it just maintains a status quo. The export tariffs are 100% a bad idea as they kill exports, which means local industries will not be able to grow. Import tariffs are mostly a bad idea, because industry requires the import of many goods To produce something. Import terriffs are also responded to in other countries by tariffs from on that country. I just don’t understand why people stick to failing policies when they can just look at what many countries in Asia have done over the last 50 years to have much better success. one can also just look at Chile in the past 30 to 40 years or Panama and the Dominican republic in the past 30 years..

At 14:00 and after you criticize the US not only for inaction but that they would threaten the region. At the same time you praise China as if the are a good actor. You ignored to mention the numerous bribing scandals China is involved in with many countries. Vice News actually caught one such bribing operation on film as their reporter went undercover. It was with Brazil's neighbor, Guyana. It was a pretty deep operation so to believe there isn't one such operation in the rest of latin america would be foolish. I do agree the US needs to fix what Donald T messed up in the region.
1
@ccdsds3221 "They are literrally together in BRICKS... you are clueless on the issue" BRICS is not a military alliance. And India is also in QUAD so your point is moot. You are clueless on the issue ". India is not really a rival to china... it is if you read western media tho. Divide and conquer." Really? Because India banned lots of Chinese stuff and there was border clash and China ranks high in polling of countries Indians hate the most. Go back to ur see-see-pee

US doesn’t have a true universal healthcare but it’s not because of money — the US spends more on healthcare as percent of gdp than every country In Europe

@thewolfofswingthat2035 this explains anything. I don’t think you care for France. You just are some anti American person possibly in favor of China or Russia. The US is not nor ever going to invade China. If they wanted to invade they would have done so before China built up its army in the past 5 years. And no country has ever invaded a nuclear armed nation. Nothing you say makes sense so it’s obvious you will make up whatever anti American statements you want.
1
@thewolfofswingthat2035 So you're defending China, again? It's China that's trying to steal the South China Sea, right? So you have problems with the US keeping the freedom of navigation going? It's China that is threating to invade the peaceful country of Taiwan, right? So you have a problem with the US trying to help Taiwan?
1
@thewolfofswingthat2035 So land can be stolen but water cannot? explain yourself? Are you saying that if japan began drilling for oil 100ft from China, Japan isn't stealing anything from China? " The problem with you is you believe everything the politicians/media tells you " So you're saying the videos and pictures of of China building artificial islands with military on it in the South China Sea are fake? Then what's your source about the US blockade on China? Are you also saying that China isn't threatening to attack the peaceful country of Taiwan even when they say force is on the table and even after they shot missiles over and around the island?
1
@thewolfofswingthat2035 if there is a misunderstanding, you can clear this up by saying "Yes, China is theatening force on Taiwan and yes, I support the US helping Taiwan" and you can say "Yes, China is currently attempting to illegal take the South China sea by claiming parts of the sea that don't belong to it and creating artificial islands in the sea with military bases on it and Yes, I support the US enforcing the freedom of navigation by sending ships through that region". It's that simple. You can clear this up if you think I misunderstood you.
1
@thewolfofswingthat2035 I googled it. I found a picture of you. You had a chance to clarify but you won't because I am right --you are defending China's actions in the South China Sea and threats on the peaceful country of taiwan. Otherwise you would say China is way in the wrong on both.
1
@thewolfofswingthat2035 Seems I got you. You can't clarify anything because I was right.

@VersusARCH Japan is a U.S. tributary state? Wow, it’s been great for them! Maybe more should follow Japan!

@mitonaarea5856 you’re given credit to edo for the policies of the Meiji. That I can’t agree with. There is little to no connection — the Meiji reforms basically undid 200 years of Edo style policies
1
@mitonaarea5856 during Edo period, the only trade allowed was one city / port in the very south. There is no credit to give EDO, Japan was among the poorest in 1860 when the Meiji restoration began
1
@ramonandrajo6348 spoken, like a typical leftist that subscribes to other leftist. Argentina spends like crazy, which is why they keep having in inflation. They also have very protectionist policies that don’t encourage business development.
1
@mitonaarea5856 you’re sort of agreeing that Japan was among the worst in trade under Edo and then under Meiji became actual traders.

@baronvonlimbourgh1716 I agree new metrics need to be used. Gdp per capita is the best SINGLE piece of data that is EASILY collected. Where available, median incomes are the best single data points.ultimately it’s a collection of data points that help but GDP is the only one that seems available for all countries.

@LaowaiDaveJCP being an enemy of the US is better than being a friend of the US? Yet japan South Korea and Taiwan became rich as friends of the US?
1
@alexlazar4738 really? Because Chile grew. So did Panama and Colombia the last 20 years. And so did Dominican Republic in the past 20 years. They all embraced more free market principles and allied with the US. Funny, huh?
1
@alexlazar4738 " if left to its own devices without the US interference Entire generations and hundreds of millions of people had been kept in poverty and suffering by the US Empire." But the countries that have done the best in the past 20-30 years have been those aligned with the US and who have embraced more free market principles so you're argument makes no sense. Add in South Korea, Taiwan and Japan all who were very tied to the US and have excelled. How is that?
1
@alexlazar4738 That was my long way of saying that ur post was trash and u r a troll
1
@alexlazar4738 Yes, Japan did stagnate for last 30 years as their working age population declined. But they reached great heights as did South Korea. Meanwhile, Venezuela, Cuba, Bolivia, etc. All those you defend are stuck in poverty. Why do you like people in poverty?
1
@JonasPrudas Argentina failed because of their own terrible policies they continue today. Where do you get your news? Chile went from among the poorest in Latin America to among the richest over the past 40 years and they aren’t near Russia.

@ramonandrajo6348 You're a leftist populist, right? They are a problem in Latin America

@ramonandrajo6348 You're a leftist populist, right? They are a problem in Latin America

@ramonandrajo6348 In Argentina, right wing populist and left wing populist are the same. Literally why Argentina continues to struggle -- populist politicians, left or right. And they both blame OTHERS for Argentina doing terrible.

@ferdinanddaratenas3447 levada isn’t Russian state. It’s a private firm that is considered trustworthy by 538. Russian state once called Levada an enemy of the state

Export tariffs are one of the worst mistakes of Argentina that it continues today. Baffling. This is why populism can be dangerous.

Serbon Resurrected he said USSRA collapse was in part due to Afghanistan. That is true. The underlying cause for the collapse is communism doesn’t work which lead to economic problems and then with the Afghanistan war financial cost and reputation costs, it lead to the fall. Add in Chernobyl as well.
1
@KaiserFranzJosefI no economist or historian says Afghanistan was a contributing factor to the fall of the USSR? Wikipedia says your wrong and has sources to back it up. From Wikipedia: - The war caused grave destruction in Afghanistan, and it has also been cited by scholars as a contributing factor to the dissolution of the Soviet Union and the end of the Cold War.
1
@KaiserFranzJosefI OP never said “(Afghanistan) was the single largest factor in the collapse of th le Soviet Union” so why make it up? They just said “ The difference is the USSR fall apart after the defeat of Afghanista”. That’s all they said. They would expand on that in the next comment saying there are multiple factors. Never did they say it was the only factor. But you did say no historian agrees with OP who said Afghanistan was a contributing factor.
1
@KaiserFranzJosefI he never said “Afghanistan was the single largest factor”. You made it up. And if you edit your comments after this, your comment will have an edit that everyone can see. You can’t even be honest.

@mrbonanza2606 zyp repeated the same talkings points in other videos about China. I Believe I saw him in Johnny Harris recent vide. zyp always brings up Peter Zeihan (new CCP talking point) so no surprise he responds to someone who mentioned Zeihan and Zyp will not be able to say one bad thing about China. Will even defend what’s happening to Uyghurs.

Caspian Report videos are increasingly defending bad actors by ignoring lots of relevant information while seeming to try to blame the west as much as possible. No mention of the corruption and bad decisions by Pakistan that lead to the sitution? He didn't even mention China until the final couple minutes despite China being the biggest single owner of Pakistan debt. And the IMF gave a $6 billion bailout in 2019 wit half already paid but Pakistan didn't meet any of the changes it promised so it's understandable that they put a hold on the rest of the bailout.
