  1. The US businesses did have a post-WWII advantage in West Europe from the Marshall Plan, easier access to global trade, and higher levels of government investment in military, technology, aviation, and the electronics industry.

  2. I don't think the impact of US extraterritorial sanctions and economic-warfare power is fully appreciated by most audiences. The amount of direct trade between the US and Russia, or the fact that Russia has access to an alternative market in China, is completely irrelevant. The sanctions come in many forms and have the ability to disrupt nearly all of Russia's foreign trade, weapons system deals, and domestic projects requiring international financing. The White House could also damage the ability of the Russian State to sell government debt to raise capital to finance their military and military-industrial complex. The US and its foreign interests aren't without risk. Russia is able to mount an effective defense and offense against the US, UK, EU, and NATO by using coercive tactics with asymmetrical warfare. They've used cyber and chemical-weapons attacks, disinformation, espionage, designing weapons to evade US missile-defense systems and interfering in elections and political discourse in the West. They're currently holding Ukraine and other former Soviet Republics hostage by bullying and threatening to use its conventional armed forces and weapons, its massive nuclear weapons arsenal, and its vast natural resources, which are in high demand.

  3. If they do decide to have a Jihad against Moscow, the US will definitely be sitting out of this one. Anti-terrorism are one of the few topics on which the US and Russia are still somewhat aligned against.

  5.  @LetsLearnEconomic  Then take China. I don't remember anyone asking you. The Pacific nations in the region have the option between the West and China, and other than Russia, Iran, and North Korea, the more prosperous nations choose America. a

  6.  @LetsLearnEconomic  I don't think you're familiar with the region, and I don't believe you have credible sources and evidence. You said " a lot of people," which leads me to believe you have no specific examples. Who are these "people" you're talking about? Why are you posting your own opinions and acting as if it's undisputed fact? If you don't know how to present an argument or add anything of substance, don't randomly tag people. You're cluttering up my notifications and behaving like either a "useful idiot" or CCP bot. "A lot of people" think climate change is a myth also, but that mean nothing.

  7. Russia's lost 25% of their forces. What good can the media say about that?

  10.  @LetsLearnEconomic  If you didn't post obvious lies and CCP propaganda, you would have been taken more seriously. You don't know anything about geopolitics or China, so why are you presenting yourself as an expert? You post vague comment about "a lot of people" are fine with China. That just shows you're not serious and you have no specifics. So yes. You wasted your time and ours.

  11.  @ShubhamMishrabro  Sanctions and technology-export restrictions. The US is already doing that with advanced semiconductor. The companies might own their businesses, but they can't take US-owned technology and IP overseas without government authorization.

  12.  @badluck5647  My reference had an actual historical link that established US corporate dominance and a form of imperialism in West Europe. I'm not sure how the CCP is relevant with their version of "Silicon Valley" is in Taiwan. China is a contract manufacturer of electronic patents own by US, Japan, South Korea, and EU. It's not an example of innovation or productivity compared to US technology giants. It's more comparable Soviet Union and East European socialist states. The Pentagon and defense contacts created the internet, space race, rocket technology, and transition from vacuum tubes to semiconductors electronics. If you had taken a little more time to read and comprehend my post, you would have gotten past the only reference to American brands used in rebuilding Europe and opposing communism.

  13. The Russian economy and government are littered with corruption and could never be competitive with the West. China would only benefit by cheaper prices for natural resources. It's too risky for any businesses or foreign investors to expand inside Russia. Regardless of any potential trade deals among China, Russia, and India, in the short term, it won't offset the lost in revenue from the European Union. Russia needs the European Union and trade with "the West" much more than the EU needs Russia. I get it that gas prices will increase, but it's worth it because it's essentially funding Putin's war in Ukraine. Europe is safer with Russia contained and cut off from trade. It's 2022, and they've invaded another country and have annexed new land. Why would a country sharing a border with Russia NOT want the protection of the US, NATO, or nuclear weapons? Putin's Russia is an existential threat to any democratic, former Soviet Republics sharing a border.

  15.  @GeneralCodyHD  I think the post might have been from a bot. English is clearly not his first language. I may have taken his bait because he ended his post with the so-called, "real news."

  16. [ 4:20 ] If the White House Oval Office is the most-important office in the world, then that would make the conference room, where the the Federal Reserve's Board of Governors meet to discuss monetary policy, interest and currency-exchange rates, GDP growth, inflation, and the stock market is a very close second.

  17. This comment didn't age well. China still has concentration camps, and Putin is blowing up Ukrainian maternity wards.

  18.  @andreasgregorfrank9057  Silicon Valley isn't in Europe because it's in the US and it's from American technology. I don't know what the "starter kit" is. American corporate dominance in Europe, Japan, and South Korea with trade deals; that's the same reason why post-war Ukraine will have more US and UK economic investments than from EU nations.

  19.  @badluck5647  I work in patent law for the semiconductor industry. It's clear that you're too busy trying to be heard on something you're clearly uninformed on. You probably think repeating CCP talking points make you sound smart, but any troll can copy and paste propaganda. I might sound rude, but I don't think you're employed. I referenced an industry and legal field I've been in for the past two decades. That's how I could easily tell you're confusing contract manufacturing and final assembly in China with the patent owners located out of China. If you're not in the industry and don't know what you're talking about. Why do you keep making it obvious that you don't know the tech field. I'm not attacking you personally. You just don't know what you're talking about and are claiming to know about Alibaba and Huawei technology when it's clear that you don't.

  20.  @badluck5647  What is your background and what country are you from? You named some random Chinese corporations without including a technology or specialization. It has nothing to do with xenophobia. You're naming the wrong technology owners. If you said something that true, I would consider it seriously but you made up too many lies and now it's obvious you're more of a CCP bot and not a person familiar with Silicon Valley.

  21. You're stupid if you think US tax dollars subsidize manufacturing job inside a hostile US adversary, but sense facts don't matter anymore keep believing that.

  23. How dumb do you have to be to think the missile cost $400,000, and the spy balloon $12?

  24.  @adamkg3215  They haven't confirm the sidewinder missile was used. That hasn't been fact checked and is only politically motivated media.

  25.  @eliso5973  You don't know how debt works, do you? The CCP's entire GDP is no where near big enough to cover US debt. The Federal Reserve, American companies, and Japan are the biggest holders of US debt.

  26.  @adamkg3215  Mainland China is definitely a communist dictatorship, but why would they start a war with the US without getting attacked first? It's a big country with a large economy, but they're not stupid (or reckless) enough to intentionally start a war while the US is still the dominate power in the region with enough allies to cut China off from international trade.

  27.  @adamkg3215  It is true that we should be prepared, but the obsession with war and conquest is mostly from a Western perspective. Unlike what Russia is doing with a neighboring Slavic country, China isn't going start bombing and killing millions of other Chinese people in Taiwan especially when they can just maintain the status quo without a world war. They have more to lose by going to war rather than maintaining peace.

  28.  @eliso5973  I buy debt. You're a clueless troll spreading misinformation. If you don't know how international markets work, don't pretend to be an online expert. You might not think it's important, but it's an annoying, boring waste of time to hear someone post lies and misinformation. What you post is the exact opposite of reality, so that means we would have to educate you. There's no reason to lie. Markets and economic indicators speak for themselves, so rather than you giving your confused interpretations; just cite a credible source. Problem Solved.

  29. ​ @DrNauseous  TL;DR I'm going to take a wild guess and assume you don't understand English either, or you're just a Russian bot. Sanctions are supposed to hurt. That's like complaining about airstrikescausing a fire. You're not the Soviet Union and deserve no sympathy for sanctions. Stop being arrogant and get out of Ukraine and you would be dirt poor.

  30.  @mpc72367  I did mistakenly leave the Magnitsky Act, but it did empower the White House with the majority of the sanctions authority against the Russian Oligarchs.

  31.  @LetsLearnEconomic  So. If they're so happy, then why are they militarizing and opening US bases? Australia, Japan, Taiwan, South Korea, the Philippines, India, Vietnam, and Guam are NOT happy with China.

  33.  @GraniteInTheFace  Dude, I don't even know what you're talking about. Can tag someone else because some how you the impression that we were part of a conversation?

  34.  @GraniteInTheFace  I get triggered when people pretend to be experts on topics they clearly haven't researched. If you made an intelligent and coherent argument, I could take you seriously. I don't even know what language you're speaking, or what point you're trying to argue.

  35. ​ @GraniteInTheFace  No problem. I'm working on having more sympathy for the poorly educated and uninformed, try not to take it personally because in a few minutes, I won't even remember that you exists.

  36. From glancing over contributions and stats of economic and military aid, it's easy to overlook the UK and sometimes overlap their delivery of weapons systems with the United States. The same happens with Poland and overlooking its humanitarian role and strategic location that enables weapons from the West to be delivered to Ukraine. It's not a direct competition between allies, but next to the United States and Russia (abandoned equipment), the contributions, military intelligence, and weapons donations by the UK dwarfed the contributions of all other European nations combined. It could be that the English-speaking nations are retaliating for the Salisbury poisonings and 2016 election interference; or possibly that they're less dependent on Russian energy products, but the US and UK have made this a proxy war of Ukraine defending against a historically hostile adversary of the West. When this conflict is over and Ukraine is being rebuilt, there will be a new market of 45 million pro-American and pro-British consumers. As a sign of appreciation, they should consider replacing Russian with English as their second language. The Americans and British should have the most favorable trade deal with post-war Ukraine and be given priority over the business and foreign interests of even the European Union.

  37. You're still fascist and Putin sympathizers. In 2015, people were trying to get to Germany and richer countries, but you made it about the one country migrants avoided. People starving won't choose to live in a country named after hunger. It would be like Mexico being hostile to migrants. People are trying to get to the US and Canada. Your country was just in the way.

  40. That's great. We need a strong and Democratic India in there area to counter China and Pakistan. The United States shouldn't have to be the only ocean police in the area. We need a NATO-type treaty to ensure the promise that "If you attack one of us; you'll essentially be at war with all us." It might sound militant, but have a strong military presence is enough to deter another foreign conflict.

  41. Saying that the politics and foreign policy of Warsaw are complicated would be an understatement. I was completely wrong about the Poles because I thought they would have closer ties to Moscow and the former Warsaw Pact states than to Berlin, Brussels, and Washington, DC. There's been coverage and reporting on Poland's interests in putting a US/NATO military base in their country. I'll have to do more research because Poland is nothing like Hungary or other conservative Eastern European governments. The country apparently has a velocity, too, and is able to move to different positions.

  43. Those teeth bother me.

  44. The harder problem is trying to sanction the United States, or interfere with the US dollar, without getting bombed, cut off from international, or a CIA-backed coup and regime change. For right now, the CCP is no where near as militant as the US.

  46.  @badluck5647  You have an appropriate username. Being born with poor reading comprehension, the attention span of a gnat, and unfamiliarity with basic English is "bad luck."

  47.  @badluck5647  I'm judging by your word use and assumptions, so it's clear you're not familiar with the word "silicon" and the connection to semiconductors. If you were up-to-date current affairs, you'd know Taiwan and not mainland China is the Silicon Valley of Asia. I'm very confident that you don't a remote clue of what the topic is regarding because you couldn't even read my original post without and making a fool out of yourself. Find out what the semiconductor industry is before you chime and make it obvious that you're unemployed and not part of the field.

  48.  @badluck5647  Stop trying pretend like you know anything about Foxxconn or anything that completes final assembly in China. You're still thinking that by using the word "tech industry" that makes you smart. You're missing the specialization of semiconductors and microelectronics. You don't know what those words mean, and don't realize how ridiculous it sounds to suggests that the country that specializes in low-cost contract manufacturing and general assembly is comparable to the most productive and innovative nation. China could be the future and have sustained growth for decades, but when that happens it will be obvious. Whatever industry you're in. Stay focused on that. You're presenting yourself as an expert on geopolitics, international economics, and the future of STEM. You're under the impression that the US, Japan, South Korea, and Taiwan don't manufacturer or design anything anymore. It's annoying trying to educate you on the fields you pretend to already know.

  49.  @badluck5647  Mark this off as a lost. You didn't understand the purpose of the video, my original post, and now you're talking about technology industry without the semiconductors and design patents. You don't have any electronics, computers, telecommunications, and technology without the chips. The iPhone is the example. China can't make iPhones without the chips designed in the US and fabricated mostly with automation in Taiwan and the US. Since you randomly mentioned a New York City analogy earlier, better analogy of the electronics industry without semiconductors would be like Wall Street without the Federal Reserve and currency. Stocks and bonds are worthless without money. Russia is cut off from US semiconductors and EU tech firms right now, and they can't even get China to help them evade the sanctions and purchase precision missiles because China doesn't own the technology and patents. It only performs the low skills final assembly aka the contract manufacturing you're comparing to the innovation in Silicon Valley and US tech dominance.

  50.  @bighands69  You're talking about the British Empire versus the US in 1900. I already know the US entered WWII already as the most powerful country. I'm a tad bit more informed about GDP than that. I only mentioned how American companies, including the one I work for, got access to the European Union. The former British Empire and now Commonwealth isn't part of the video. It's not even an EU member.
