  1. @Ian Patrick It's not a huge conspiracy. Those in charge are afraid of losing their grip on power. So they make a concerted effort that people in critical positions agree with their point of view. AKA indoctrination. This is a very common tactic by the ruling elites in literally every single society the human race has ever had. The fact most of our institutions were by in large not politicized was an amazing achievement by our society but looking at human nature and human history, it was an outlier that simply couldn't last.

  3.  @ghosthunter0950 it is all developed there with American rnd money and American technology. It is essentially another form of welfare setting it up there, sending the tech there and having them build it there. That nation literally wouldn’t survive 6 months without us arming it, defending it financing it and giving political cover for it. It is like an anchor sinking us deeper and deeper into isolation from the world. Having 80 percent of the world hate your guts is not in the national interest

  4.  @newmandydy how is anything you psychos do in our interest? Also why belittle America by claiming it has shared values with an apartheid state. No thanks

  7.  @SacredCowStockyards  I’m not so sure I agree that everyone before ww1 was “roaring to go” Most simply got roped into it. Kind of like how Israel is trying to rope us into war with Iran which will then cause Russia to be roped into it. It isn’t that different. I’m not saying WW3 is coming for sure. What I am saying is that it is possible

  8.  @TiggerTheRed  this is true to a certain extent. I wouldn’t say nations though, it is more like a few of the royal families. They see any popular political movement backed by the people a threat to their legitimacy as kings in their own nations. We’re basically talking about Jordan, Saudi Arabia and the UAE. All three in policy are pretty pro Israel. Which is a dangerous position for them as the vast majority of their people are not pro Israel

  9.  @florianfasquelle5212  "With good politicians we would be a great power." I think I've heard that phrase from so many people from so many countries. I've heard it from nearly every eastern European I've ever met, heard it from Iraqis, Syrians, Egyptians, Libyans. Now I've heard it from a Frenchman. Perhaps your decay is happening a lot faster than I had imagined?

  10. @Sumol Laranja, the politics of the region today are irrelevant when projecting 100 years into the future. All the nations you mentioned are in heavy demographic collapse. That American might not know the culture and politics of Romania, Moldova and Serbia but unlike you he understands math.

  12.  @sandwitchi7  You might want to read your post again. Claiming XYZ won't happen to Romania and Moldova. Again less emotions more reason and logic please. You surely shouldn't put yourself in a position where you're debating against your own post. (Which you're about to do)

  13. @Watty once civilizational and economic collapse hits, you'd be surprised how many parts a nation can break into.

  14.  @watty7029  A demographic collapse which always lead to an irreparable economic collapse will most likely lead to a civilizational collapse. We've seen it play out this way far too many times in history. Not sure why anyone would be immune to this.

  15. Declining influence of Islam in that region ? Hmmm Quite the opposite bro. The 1960s and 1970s were when the influence of religion was at its lowest in the Middle East. Has seen a slow and steady increase since. It is nearing a critical mass where it is about to take over. When this happens few of those regimes and monarchy families will survive. The Saudi regime will be one of the first to go

  16.  @muninnsays9296  Or you have no idea how demographics work.

  17.  @ObiJohnKenobi67  actually birth rates are quite predictable. For example not civilization known to man has ever reversed the decline after birth rates drop below 1.6. As far as tech for birth I also disagree. People aren’t having children because they don’t want children. Tech that makes birth easier won’t magically make people want to raise a child. Even if the tech had magical properties to make people want to raise children it still won’t work because it won’t happen in time. We’re too deep in low birth rate to have enough time to have the tech reverse it. The economic collapse will come well before the 2100s. No money no tech.

  18. @Karol Golofit, when the international order breaks down, Poland is bound to expand once Russia collapses. Not all expansions are military expansions but it will expand.

  21. The concept of a civil war is outright terrifying. I can't even imagine the levels of horrors our nation would be subject to. With that said I agree with the video's view that if a civil war were to break out, the right would completely and utterly demolish the left. He who can get a larger share of aggressive young men filled with testosterone to fight hard for them will win. I have a hard time seeing young men driven to the current rallying cry of the left. As far as the military joining the right in a forgone conclusion I'm not so sure. Most of the leaders in the military are heavily left leaning. So you'll basically have the higher ups giving orders to join the right. Some soldiers will follow their superiors and others won't.

  22. @G0timan, people who actually know a lot about Russia are the ones who know Russia won't survive much longer. Look at where all the ethnic Russians live. Look at where all the non ethnic Russians conquered by Russia live. Then look at the birthrates of those communities. What do you think will happen when groups like the Chechens, Tatars and 100s of other ethnic groups who want independence from Russia outnumber ethnic Russians? You think that country stays together? If you believe that, I have some wonderful ocean front property in Moscow I'd love to sell you at a very cheap price.

  26. @Demetri, demographics is destiny. Demographics isn't simply how many people you have but a healthy increase in population year on year decade on decade so on and so forth. Look at Britain's population boom between the 1200s and the 1900s. Then look at it's population slow down then bust (right when they lost their expansive energy and got forced back into their shell.)

  29.  @Rivar23  most states borders aren’t drawn artificially. There is usually some ethic or religious reasoning behind borders. I don’t call Iraq artificial as an insult. Artificial as in it was drawn by people with zero regard or knowledge as to who lives where.

  30. @Taleh Abbaszade, Azerbaijan as it stands now will probably survive because it has fairly high birthrates. Although if Russia collapses and America pulls out of the international system I don't see Azerbaijan surviving as a nation state. It will probably be gobbled up by Iran or they'd have to join Turkey to save them from Iran. Either way I don't see an Azerbaijan on the map in 100 years. Armenia probably won't exist in 100 years either, if you look at their birthrates coupled with how many people are leaving the country. Georgia, their birthrates are bad but not so bad it can't be reversed. It's unlikely they'll be around in the next 100-200 years but unlike Armenia they have a chance.

  31.  @michaelweston409  China vs Taiwan? Yes it will probably happen Iran vs Israel, A full blown war between them is a pipe dream. Not gonna happen. North Korea vs South Korea? God I hope not with all those nukes there. India vs Pakistan? Again terrifying with all the nukes. Russia vs EU, EU doesn't have the ability to fight back. It would then be Russia vs USA/Turkey/U.K. Which like the others is terrifying due to all the nukes.

  32.  @radamirabdulle3559  Long term the Turks probably won't allow these military bases to be used to squeeze Ethiopia. UAE and Egypt are trying to buy their way into Somalia which isn't a sustainable strategy. The Turks themselves are pretty entrenched there.

  33.  @Defective1313  There have many many cases of governments turning to war to smooth over internal issues they have. It makes sense and happens all the time. The trouble with Egypt are that the top brass simply do not trust Egyptian soldiers to fight a war without turning on the elites. It's worse than just simple internal problems, it's serious structural problems which prevents Egypt's dictators from waging war to keep power.

  34.  @gwestcot  Depends on the type of war and where. If we're invading them, yes they'll either win or we'll pay a price far too high to get it done. Outside of their region, the Chinese military doesn't have the logistical capabilities to fight a war far off their shores. They're using their resources for regional conflicts not global.

  35.  @gwestcot  You can't win a war with a Hypersonic weapon from a far if you don't have the logistics to actually bring your military there. China is well ahead in hypersonic weapons but that is more a deterrent than an offensive weapon.

  36.  @gwestcot  If we fight them in their theatre I agree with you that we're in for a world of hurt. I also agree that we're falling apart as a society 😢. I'd imagine the Chinese will simply wait us out until we're completely broken. They're not dumb, they see what is going on over here.
    1
  37.  @gwestcot  Having a weak China is an anomaly in world history. China certain has massive demographic issues along with many other concerns which will certainly make it impossible to keep up the level of growth they've been having. With that said and with all it's ups and downs China will probably continue to be a global economic power for a very long time. With the problems you stated we probably won't see them either become or even sustain a hyper power like the United States was. In fact I'm not sure we'll ever see a nation ever again with the reach and power the United States had for a good 4 decades. What's more likely long term is for extremely strong regional powers in competition with other regional powers, rather than one soul super power to rule them all. In the coming decades we'll see nations like Brazil, Poland and Turkey flex their muscles in their respective regions.

  39.  @moonmelons  In general terms America was able to reach super power status due to the quality of life here. If the quality of life is going down, so will our ability to project power internationally. Which is already being seen in many theatres around the world. Could you have ever imagined a nation like Saudi Arabia which has outsized influence over world energy prices telling us to take a walk 20 years ago? That is one small example, I can go on and on. We're not what we used to be and for obvious reasons. Our leaders seem detached from reality are seem hell bent on driving us into the ground. We were so powerful that it will take them a long time to do it but by god they're trying.

  40.  @moonmelons  Yes but you have to admit that level of influence you speak of isn't even close to what it was 20 years ago.
    1
  41.  @moonmelons  Actually some American "Allies" are wielding more influence than ever. Former yes men like Mexico are giving the middle finger to the US president and following their own regional foreign policy. Another yes man like Turkey is also giving the US the middle finger and doing as it pleases in it's region. America remaining strong in places doesn't disprove my argument that we used to be stronger.

  42.  @moonmelons  Turkey isn't in the EU and is quite happy the EU is being weakened. Why do you talk about things you obviously have no idea about. A normal person would say "I don't know and move on." You really are a special piece of work aren't you. Turkey upset the EU is weaking? Seriously?
    1
  43.  @moonmelons  Actually since they werent' let in the EU has turned into an adversary for them. In what world do you believe an adversary being weakened to be a "bad' thing for a nation? Turks are more than happy to see Europe weakened and Europe having an energy crisis which makes them dependent on the pipelines running through Turkey. This isn't mind blowing stuff, it's common knowledge for anyone who knows anything about this part of the world. You need to read more before spouting insanity.
    1
  44.  @moonmelons  I think it's fairly obvious Turkey used to be a yes man, again common knowledge. It's also very obvious Turkey is no longer a yes man that is also fairly obviously. You're literally debating things you obvious know nothing of. That is akin to me talking about how to perform brain surgery. It's straight up insane.

  45.  @moonmelons  There were plenty of times they didn't have similar interests yet America always got them to do what America wanted. That is the definition of a yes man state. The fact you're trying to debate this is like trying to debate the world is flat. You're relentless in your ignorance to a point it's kind of impressive. Normal people when they don't know something, simply say "wow I didn't know that." You on the other hand, a real piece of work.
    1
  46.  @moonmelons  Yet we armed them to the teeth to commit those war crimes and bullied other nations to leave them alone about it. Does that sound like someone who didn't want them to do it? Again you might want to read up on an issue before attempting to talk about it.

  48.  @nothing-of5yc the problem is a foreign entity runs America. Think through the logical conclusion of how your nation will “feel” in the long term when globalists and a nation 1000s of miles away control our policy. This is on us for sleeping for 30 years and allowing this to happen

  50. @Hybrid Forces of The GDL, when Egypt almost swallowed the Ottomans, it was actually Ottomans who took over Egypt and attacked the Ottomans themselves. Their leader Mohammad Ali was an Albanian trained as an Ottoman officer. His military were all Ottoman trained as well, they simply decided to start their own country and attack their bosses. The indigenous Egyptians you speak of had nothing to do with that.
