Brexit, was your MAGA moment. The people of England, decided that they didn't want Christian European neighbors, and opted for, what exactly...?

Excuses are good but everyone can make excuses. :D Russia: We have to protect our southern border, so lets expand to the Northern Caucuses. Russia: We have to give ourselves a buffer zone, let's take over the Southern Caucuses. Russia: We have to protect our Southern Caucuses buffer zone from invasion, we have push into Syria and across Anatolia, to prevent Mediterranean threats. Russia: We have to protect our Southern border from invasion, we have to take over the Stans. Russia: We have to protect our Stans regions and create a buffer zone in Iran. Russia: We have to protect our Iranian buffer zone, let's push all the way to the Straits of Hormuz. And on and on and on. Russia will always find a reason to expand to 'protect' its interests and buffer zones. And the ethnic cleansings and oppression are just a bonus, free of charge. China makes up the same sort of excuses. Using this train of thought, the US should take over Mexico, in order to secure its Southern Flank. And then to make itself completely safe, just take over South America. And then to prevent a giant naval invasion of South America, all of Africa should follow. EDIT2: However its current largest land border is in the North so they should invade Canada. EDIT: 16:00 As for shaping of the Russian Empire. I wouldn't give a bunch of half literate Communists credit for the methodical expansions of the Romanov Dynasty, that's giving credit, where it has not been earned. Still, thank you for making this video, I love watching them and enjoy learning how Russia forms excuses, for its dangerous behaviors.

5:03 "Taliban's complicity yet to be established," really? I'm very curious, what would establish their complicity in your eyes? How about "The location of the Zawahri hit makes for terrible optics for the Taliban and exposes its hubris. Zawahri was killed in a comfortable neighborhood of Kabul, previously favored by officials of the fallen Afghan Republic and now replete with high-ranking Taliban members." Would that be evidence of collusion and complicity? Would Ayman_al-Zawahiri (2nd General Emir of A-Qaeda) living comfortably in the middle of Kabul with his Taliban friends and neighbors, be enough evidence? Would the Taliban government granting Afghan citizenship to him and Osama and all his Al-Qaeda friends in November of 2001 be evidence? I'm curious how you can suggest that their cooperation is still in question?

Africa is NOT a country, so it does NOT have plans for itself. Rowanda has plans for itself, South Africa has plans for itself, Ethiopia, Nigeria, Congo, etc... And just as Spain has African plans and strategies, African nations have European strategies, and Asian strategies, and South American strategies. For example Nigeria has strategies as to whom they will trade with and which resources they will trade and what benefits they intend to gain from said international relations. You pretend that Europe is racist because it has National Strategies for different Continents, while revealing that YOU are racist because you can't fathom the idea that each nation in Africa is capable of having its own agendas. Your racism is ingrained in the fact that you don't even recognize that there are a multitude of countries on the African continent, each of which has its own NATIONAL agendas.

Pakistan is a Feudal society. The Lords and Knights (Officers and Soldiers) extract wealth and obedience from the peasants. Not sure why this is a difficult concept, its been around for thousands of years. Just because the local nobility and their goons wear uniforms and a flag, doesn't change who they are or their form of government. The Pashtun and Baluchi people are ready to overthrow the occupiers and move on to a future of self-determination and the Feudal Lords don't like it because they won't be able to rule and extract future resources.

In Russia an oligarch can steal your business, in China a government official can steal your business, in Iran a Kuds force member can steal your business, in North Korea, the Kim family can steal everything, in Syria the al-Asad clan can take everything from you, and in each place they will do all of this through force or intimidation. The Pax Americana also known as America's Peace is for most but it is not for everyone, and that's 'ok.' You don't need to participate. The alternative of 'Mobster rule" is an option available to everyone, so if you want to be a mobster or have your hard work stolen by mobsters, the door is open. You are free to leave America's Peace and live in a world of mobsters and mobster intimidation.😀 Look at that, the door is open, no one is holding you from getting to realize your dream of living there. Common, git, go, I promise, no one will stop you from living the "Anti-American Dream." We in fact encourage you to travel & jump right into their open arms. They are waiting for you and we don't mind you leaving. It is the best of both worlds for you. 🤣

One single nuclear detonation, and Moscow becomes a crater and every oligarch will be hunted down like an animal. If a nuclear cloud enters NATO, the U.S. and NATO would end Russia and the Russian people once and for all. There will be no games or gamesmanship. There will simply be death. The U.S. has troops in the Eastern part of NATO (Poland, Latvia, Lithuania, Estonia,) if a nuclear blast were to affect American troops, it would be a declaration of war against the United States. All jokes aside, if Putin launches a single nuke, its go time for the West.

4:58 Wheat, maize, DATE, and COTTON production. el-Sis is a baboon if he wants to grow cotton and dates, in the the desert in a water starved nation. California is having a bit of a drought problem. Here are the top 10 most water intensive crops in California. Pay particular attention to #4 and #7. 1.Pasture (clover, rye, bermuda and other grasses), 4.92 acre feet per acre 2.Almonds and pistachios, 4.49 acre feet per acre 3.Alfalfa, 4.48 acre feet per acre 4.Citrus and subtropical fruits (grapefruit, lemons, oranges, dates, avocados, olives, jojoba), 4.23 acre feet per acre 5.Sugar beets, 3.89 acre feet per acre 6.Other deciduous fruits (applies, apricots, walnuts, cherries, peaches, nectarines, pears, plums, prunes, figs, kiwis), 3.7 acre feet per acre 7.Cotton, 3.67 acre feet per acre 8.Onions and garlic, 2.96 acre feet per acre 9.Potatoes, 2.9 acre feet per acre 10.Vineyards (table, raisin and wine grapes), 2.85 acre feet per acre People who don't want to destroy their own water resources don't grow cotton or dates. Just ask Uzbekistan and Kazakhstan how that's worked out for them, as the Caspian see slowly disintegrates.

@ArawnOfAnnwn They did not just fail to go forwards, rather they are going backwards. Decade after decade, they keep going further and further back.

The entire Russian narrative is we have a right to dominate, bully, terrorize and brutalize our neighbors into giving us concessions so that we can be lazy. The entirety of Russia's history is simply parasitic exploitation of its neighbors through violence and intimidation, a national model based on the Cosa Nostra in the 21st century. And while it definitively worked in the past, this is 2023 and the world isn't what it was 1,000 years ago but Russia still believes that the only way its people can thrive is to go and do a dark alley mugging against its neighbors. And pointing fingers at Putin is not all that fair, Russians support him, vote for him, and want him in power, so they support this narrative as a whole.

@Cbreezy510 When people were running around in loin cloths, it meant that they were not safe, from animals, from elements, from starvation, and most importantly from each other. Africa, Europe, Asia, the Americas, the story was always the same. 500 years ago the populations of these regions was very low for a reason. You can't feed a 100 million people with a spear and a fruit tree. You can feed maybe 100,000. When the number of fruit trees and hunting ground is less than the number of humans, humans fight over limited resources, and that is usually followed by famine, slavery, and genocide. So you think people where happier and healthier every time there was famine, slavery and genocide? Stupid much?

BRICS sounds fine, until you realize that most of the economies that want to support it are 'dogs' while the 'stars' are sticking to the dollar. Also, the idea that the dollar is somehow a privilege for the US seems to forget that the dollarization of the world economy has strengthened the dollar to such a degree that the US is unable to export as much as it could pre 1940s. The strength of the dollar has actually been more of a burden than a privilege for the US. This is why the US actually support the de-dollarization of the world economy.

12:09 I'm sorry but Navy Gross Tonnage doesn't really say anything, it is an empty statistic. How much water a ship displaces is not really an effective way of determining its naval capacity as a modern fighting ship. A modern US destroyer is about 8,000 tonnes while a US WW2 battleship was could be 45,000 tonnes. A modern destroyer would be able to wipe out about 10 of said battleships in a naval engagement and keep right on chugging along. So in a comparison 8,000 tonnes vs 450,000 tonnes, this is what is commonly known as "a paper dragon" comparison.

If you are going to form an Anglosphere, then you should start with the United States. It is going to be your CORE anyways. Australia's closest ally, the U.S. Canada's closes ally, the U.S., the UK's closes ally, the U.S. And I'm not sure the most Americans would be opposed to it either. But it would not be run out of London or Ontario but rather Washington D.C. and it actually makes sense.

Tonnage is like the number of ships, it is not the a good indicator of quality or capability. The US navy is 1/5th of the numbers post WW2, morons in America complain about this. The reality however is that one cargo vessel today does the job that used to be done by 30 cargo vessels in the 1940s, and Nuclear ships don't need refueling ships. So China has more tonnage, if half of that tonnage are refueling vessels for Carriers who run out of fuel 500 miles away from the coast, then that tonnage is just empty numbers. A 100,000 Chinese Marines is not the same as a 100,000 US Marines. And Tibetan civilians are not the US armed forces. China has a long way to go before it can look the US in the eye as a true rival. The EU (with the UK) could be considered the only 'rival' power and since those are allies, I use the world 'rival' very loosely.

I find Ukrainian claims on this land to be a bit ridiculous. Their control over the region lasted all of 23 years? From 1991-2014. The Crimea has been Russian real estate for most of modern history, when it was not a part of the Crimean Khanate. And while it would be expensive, isn't it possible for Russia to reroute the entire river or cut the Ukrainians off, much the way Ethiopia might do regarding the Blue Nile? So I find their behavior a bit perplexing as they are attempting to pick a fight with someone who can just cut off their water supply and then the Ukraine will become a desert.

The quality of your videos has really gone to shit. You spent the first 8 minutes of video talking about what North Korea could do, as if there was no one to oppose them. Who sponsored this shit? The CCP? The Dear Leader's youtube budget committee? What sort of a retard talk about 12,000 North Korean artillery pieces without mentioning that their ammunition is garbage (as shown by their use in Ukraine) and that the South Korean have 18,000 artillery pieces that are modern, deadly and more efficient by about a factor of 5. Who fails to mention the K-18 artillery that Korea is selling to NATO because their stuff is that good? And let's not forget that South Korean shells don't kill their own users and their equipment doesn't explode due to routine use. This is a weak propaganda piece and you've clearly run out of ideas if this is your best.

China doesn't have the world's largest navy. The Czech Republic could buy a 1,000 yachts, put them into its national navy and thus declare itself the largest navy in the world by that standard.

Your analysis about US carrier fleets being stretched thin, is wishful thinking or rumor mongering for those who don't know any better. The US only needs a single carrier group to deal with the Israel situation and it already maintains one in the Middle East so 2 out of 14? There are no carriers involved in the Ukraine/Black Sea. so mentioning Ukraine and Russia, seemed like filler material more than anything. Finally, the US always maintains a carrier group in its home waters off the Gulf of Mexico/East Coast, so moving it 100 miles south is no more than a training exercise on any given Tuesday.

5:04 Only the Russian Military Industrial Complex designs products to be destroyed. We make product to destroy Russian and Chinese products.

You could have also mentioned the difference between the Confederate States and the Union in the American Civil War. One was an extractive, repressive society while the other depended on free flow of labor and inclusion. Hence the difference in the ability to pursue a protracted war. But to say that North America did not suffer the affliction of an extractive economy is incorrect, rather the Extractive forces lost to the Inclusive forces.

I wanted to see where it all started and it is an interesting video, however the ominous music does make it sound more like, a propaganda video commissioned by a 'dear leader' type, than the objective reports, that you are currently creating in 2021. The substance is informative but the music choice could have been more effective.

Israeli police attempted to disperse worshippers inside the Haram al-Sharif area, using stun grenades, tear gas and rubber bullets. - May 5th, 2021 At least 45 people were killed and some 150 more injured in a crush at a religious festival of ultra-Orthodox Jews in northern Israel (Mount Meron,) where tens of thousands of faithful had convened in one of the country's largest events since the pandemic began. Despite warnings from Israeli health officials, local media estimated the crowd at this year's festival at around 100,000 people. - April 30th, 2021 My question is simple, why didn't the Israeli police attempt to disperse worshipers at Mount Meron using stun grenades, tear gas and rubber bullets? Clearly this is the modus operendi of Israeli police when dealing with ANY gathering of over 10,000 people, right...?

236 mil in 2022, 38 mil in 1950 When your population multiplies x6 but your land, mineral and water resources don't. Well... I'm sure its Global Warming that is the problem, right?

0:01 "Debt is the worst kind of poverty" Unfortunately these are the words of wisdom of anyone from a country that is impoverished. Debt has been in Europe and North America and Japan for most of modern history and its availability is why America and Europe and Japan are rich while Muslim countries are either 'oil/gas/minerals rich' or dirt poor without oil/gas/minerals.
