  1. That's how Poland felt in 1939.

  2. There are too many of them in the US. The US is "old money," and corporations and special interest aren't openly corrupt like in the Russia.

  3. The Western Sahara is gone? They might as well show Crimea as part of Russia. None are recognized.

  4. You do know the exact is happening, right? Russia is the one fighting, and the US and Uk are observing them. How do you think every move and strategy was already known?

  5. That's a good point. For a second, I thought you were blaming the US. The US is not completely lawless like the host suggest, and could shut the pipeline down with its sanctions power.

  6. Aren't England, North Ireland, and Wales the biggest trading partner of Scotland? The remaining members of the UK aren't going to be too eager to make the transition painless. It's going to be difficult accessing the European Union and international markets for an independent Scotland that hasn't been assured EU membership.

  7. You can't be looking out for your own country when the military blunders and economic sanctions are from Putin decisions.

  8. Guess we know who's America's new best friend in the region now.

  9. Containing the US would require a larger military alliance, and China doesn't have enough allies to credibly threaten to contain the US and Nato.

  10. If they add the US and India, it would be a superduper power.

  11. Monroe Doctrine applies to a new European empires expanding in the Americas. It would likely include China now.

  12. We should give henceforth designate the Russian Federation as a global superpower, and geopolitical leader of the world island. The USA, CCP, and eventually the German-led European Union will now be designated as global hyperpowers. NATO, will be renamed as, "The Warsaw Pact."

  13. What are the alternative numbers from Russia?

  14. You think you're worried? I'm your neighbor to the South. Imagine how worried we are after seeing how fragile our democracy is.

  15. I don't think this strategy will work either. Ukrainians won't surrender, so the Kremlin should be the one prepared for a defeat and surrender.

  18. How can it be "fear mongering" when Russia has openly invaded a sovereign state under the pretext of de-nazification? Your post just shows that you would rather use Kremlin propaganda and misinformation than think for yourself.

  19.  @brunokunz1000  I'm not watching the video again and not reading another novel-length post from you. I'll happily agree to disagree and not retract anything I've posted because I don't English is your first language.

  20.  @brunokunz1000  I argue for a living and get paid for it. This is a freebie, so I'll be more careful in choosing the proper words. My official response is the following: "No response." I neither agree nor disagree with anything you have posted in this thread. I could be in complete agreement or disagreement with you and the position you hold on the relevant topic. Also, I neither agree nor disagree with anything I've posted above. My position on the topic under discussion could remain the same or changed. The purpose of the neutral statements are only to ensure that you're not mislead into assuming that I'm interested in continuing the conversation. Rather than "agree to disagree," the contentions shall remain but the discussion will end with no closing remarks.

  21.  @brunokunz1000  I never said you were a troll, so there's no reason to slay you. That would also give the false impression I'm interested in engaging. Regarding the other remarks, my same response and position of "no comment" still stands.

  22.  @brunokunz1000  TL;DR My response is still "No comment."

  24. Hopefully! A war crime and genocide is never right. The US wasn't trying to make French Indochina into the 51st American state and there weren't enough cameras to show what was happening.

  25. Just because a promise is assumed or exists in a politician's head, doesn't make it international law, a treaty, or an executive agreement.

  26.  @factanonverba7547  It never happened, and the gentlemen's agreement you're referring to was between Bush 41 and Gorbachev. NATO is mostly a market for US-made weapons system, and to have access to the EU economy, which the US rebuilt with the Marshall Plan. The threat to Russia is that they'll lose potential customers to sell their weapons, and have to compete with the European Union in trade. There's no US plans to invade Russia from Europe; it's Putin's own actions that are pushing former Soviet Republics to the EU and NATO.

  27. If that's so, he's playing a dangerous game. US and the Philippines are close allies, but being a CCP lap dog to tantamount to a declaration of war against the US.

  28. This is the problem for China @ [3:31]. I'm not making light of war, but the PRC would NOT come anywhere close to winning. Out of all the listed country's military spending, only China, Russia, and India are not part of mutual-defense treaty with the United States.

  29. They'll negotiate. They're using their leverage as a NATO member. We still need Türkiye to control access to the Black Sea.

  30. India is more aligned with the values of US/EU/UK. China is ruining it's own reputation, and needs democratic competition.

  31. India is the world's largest democracy, and naturally, as Americans and also a former British Colony, we'd assume India has more in common with the US and Europe than Russia and China. Both the US and Russia will still have a friendly relationship with India regardless of their stance on sanctions against Russia. There are some sanctions that have strict international requirements, but most of them are voluntary and only applicable to corporations doing business with both the US and Russia. If India or China used the lower cost of Russian products to benefit themselves, that's one of the key aspects of capitalism. The present conflict in Europe is completely different from the Cold War ("East versus West" and "Private versus Public Ownership"), or the strategy to contain/sabotage the recent economic growth and regional influence of the CCP. There is no wider ideological divide, religious dispute, or different economic systems between America and Russia. The US and EU have sanctioned Russia for attacking Ukraine, and the intention is to cause a recession and devalue the Ruble. The target is primarily Vladimir Putin and Russian Oligarchs who do business with US and European corporations. The sanctions have already done economic damage to the Russian economy and international reputation that will take years to recover from. India isn't being forced to decide between the US, Russia, or be nonaligned. It may impact India's relationship with the Ukrainians, but the US needs Indian political and economic alignment to counter the influence of China. The sanctions against Russia are only one specific issue and won't impact the wider importance of India being the largest democracy.

  34. Are you okay? There's a safer route to Ukraine via Belarus. Why would they send troops through the Chernobyl exclusion zone? There's only wildlife there, and Russia's in an offensive posture.

  37. The fact that they recognize each other is a foreign policy.

  38. If China signed a mutual-security pact with Washington, DC, it would at least give them a few years before the US breaks the agreement.

  39. Stop living a lie. The number of destroyed tanks and vehicles is greater than the KIA numbers from the Kremlin.

  40. The British Commonwealth is essentially the British Empire, but each of the nations are sovereign and equals. There's no official free trade or common currency. Britain agreed to open up its international markets and made the US dollar the global currency.

  41. Focus more on confronting China instead of the neighbor you share the subcontinent with.

  42. It's been going on since the Cold War. If you're not familiar with military strategies and proxy wars, quit mentioning nukes. NATO already have them, and Russia's not going to use them without getting destroyed.

  43. Okay. Well you saved me 11:37. At least the quality is high.

  46. Facts aren't "anti-Russian." Maybe they should learn to recognize borders. It could have saved many young Russian soldiers.

  47. The Aussies and Kiwis should create a USUK-associated alliance in the Pacific that is comparable to NATO (Military/Security) and the European Union (economic, political, and geopolitical union). The US already has independent mutual-defense pacts with Japan, South Korea, the Philippines, Australia, and New Zealand. If the arrangement expands and/or protects the US access to foreign markets, while at the same time containing the CCP, it would quickly get approved and ratified.

  48. It's definitely a feasible strategy if done carefully, but I'm not sure why the adversaries in Beijing and Moscow would openly admit to targeting the dollar. If the US went to war over access to oil and international markets, why would they expect a non-hostile response to challenging the supremacy of the US dollar? If America's soft power is weakened, the alternative will be to use the Pentagon and CIA to resolve disputes and sanction enemies.

  49. 1. Why didn't the CCP cooperate by being transparent on Covid-19 and the Muslim concentration camps; 2. America created League of Nations, UN, NATO, rebuilt post-war Europe and Japan, and conducts peaceful space exploration programs, and unlike the CCP, it has allies which makes so strong; 3. India's the world's largest democracy and more popular than China; unlike China, they also have allies.

  50. If they're bankrupt, how are they buy in the weapon systems killing Russians?

  51. Impressive. There are NOT many people who know about the Budapest Memorandum on Security Assurances or America's interests in the Ukraine-Russia conflict. They just assume the US is playing the world's police.

  52. Are you saying Britain should end its mutual security and intelligence treaty with the US?

  58.  @bhagyeshkotian1747  The West would have brought more Russian gas and oil had Putin not invaded a nation that never attacked him. A rational statesman looking out for the interest of Russia wouldn't have to censor the media and lie about the special military operations that's killed over 15,000 soldiers. Putin's looking out for himself and has become dangerously irrational, and the sanctions are likely to be permanent regardless of a potential cease fire. The West wouldn't have started an economic war without calculating the risks of an oil embargo and blackmail with Russian gas. His plans are to find newer markets in Asia. Those won't replace the lost European revenue, but Putin need Europe a lot more than Europe needs Russia. Gas and grains are the only commodities from Russia.

  59. Sorry to see the devastation from the Covid-19 pandemic. I hope the country quickly recovers from the present disaster.

  60. The quad are the territories and client states the US protects. If the US's imperial status in SE Asia were on the decline, the CCP could get the Quad to end mutual assistance treaties with the US. That's the only legal authority putting US and China into an inevitable proxy or direct war. Even though Taiwan is part of China, the US will go to war if it's invaded. There's no way around it because the US has to honor its treaties and international agreements. During the Cold War-era, the US risked nuclear war to prevent West Berlin from collapsing.

  61.  @brahmkash  That's not a problem. Britain handing the keys over to the US, and we can hand it over to India rather than China. Why is Eazy E your picture? Are you Indian?

  62.  @brahmkash  Well good luck with that. If you're strong enough, you'd be able to take your own keys and set your own terms. Not all countries are interested in global superpower. The US is only interested in expanding markets and corporate power. India is democratic and we can always buy influence. Japan, China, Germany, and Russia screwed up with other countries first, not the US. The European Union has an economy of equivalent size of the US and there are no wars.

  63.  @user-jt3dw6vv4x  I'm not familiar with the IT threat. I'm in Texas myself, and when PM Modi came here, he was treated like a rockstar. I think a relationship between the US and India will depend on the US threating India as an equal, and not a colony, or pawn in our Cold War against China and Russia. As far as geopolitics and economics, the rise of China will depend greatly on its international reputation and domestic affairs. I doubt there's much we could do to stop China's economic progress, without harming ourselves. The system is still communist and there is a lot of corruption. I agree that EU isn't a single nation, but its powers are becoming centralized, and Germany appears the by far the most powerful and influential member. I think this will interesting, but I doubt much would change in the world order. The permanent members of the UN Security Council will continue to be powerful and stable countries. We need more representation from emerging great powers, i.e., India, Africa, and maybe replacing the French seat with the European Union.

  64.  @user-jt3dw6vv4x  The veto rule is from Joseph Stalin, and it has made it virtually impossible to authorize military action against a permanent members. Are you in India?

  65.  Bot MFs You have a best reputation and are more respected than US, China, Russia, UK, and EU combined. I think India's more likely to replace US, and the only one who disagrees in Pakistan.

  66. *REGIONAL FOE The US would still be its most threatening region foe as well.

  67. The British Empire wasn't a centralized as it appeared. I could see it reuniting since there's already a commonwealth. Adding the US and India as senior partners would make it more appealing.

  68. We know. Although they worship Putin, I think they're still pissed that he took the "Trucker Freedom Convoy" out of the headlines. He showed China a little more respect by holding off the invasion until the Winter Olympics were done.

  69. He had enablers managing US foreign policy on his behalf. His biggest weakness in geopolitics was confronting and understanding the US role and responding appropriately to Russia. He struggled with reassuring our Europe allies and utilizing Nato and Nato-style alliances to contain Russia and the CCP.

  73.  @golagiswatchingyou2966  They totally are what? Apple has massive influence over the government, but you will never see Tim Cook in the White House telling the president how to conduct foreign policy. For the most part, it isn't done openly. They do it by lobbying, campaign finance, placing business friendly regulators in agencies, and via super PACs. Despite that, the US economy is too large and diversified for a single executive to control the White House. The US will intervene and use its soft and hard power to defend American business interests throughout the world, but that decision is made in the White House and not on the yacht of a billionaire.

  77. Russia's invasion and the war on Ukraine could expand, but it's highly unlikely. Although Putin appears to be a dangerous tyrant with no regard for international law or European borders, that's not 100% accurate. Neither the Ukrainians nor NATO ever attacked Russia, so this invasion will be considered a major blunder. The war could have been easily prevented by maintaining the status quo while negotiating with the West. Things could change at a moment's notice, but despite the nuclear threats and the "Special Military Operation of 2022," Putin hasn't crossed the red line that would bring the US and NATO into the war. He also hasn't given any indication that he wants a war with NATO. If he did, he'd invade the Baltic States or Poland. The Russian military is struggling with Ukraine alone, so bringing in 28 countries with fresh troops would likely end with Putin getting removed and put on trial for war crimes. Hopefully, the Russians will come back to their senses and realize how foolish this is. The WWIII references are nonsense because modern geopolitics and international law have drastically changed since 1939. A Cold War II is much more likely than a WWIII. The five powers on the UN Security Council have no reason to ever declare war on each other because the post-WWII history and precedent has been to indirectly fight via proxy wars and economic warfare.

  78. It's better to just keep the "special relationship," mutual security, and have free movement of people and goods. Britain is a sovereign nation, and in order to become an actual state, the US Constitution would have to be amendment to permit a state with a monarchy, aristocracy, and its own church.

  80.  @kevinp4449  I'm in the US, but I thought the British Empire, much like the British Commonwealth, were loosely connected colonies and dominions; and the Queen-Empress was a constitutional figure head. Weren't Australia, NZ, South Africa, and Canada already dominions? Regardless of what happens, if the deal involved trade, oil, and a counterbalance to the China, America and India will almost inevitably join it.

  81. You mean why they don't feel threatened with US/NATO troops stationed that close to the Border?

  82. Putin hasn't crossed the line and attacked a NATO country yet. It's possible for the Ukrainians to fight and win without NATO. The West is fighting on the economic and int'l finance front to collapse the Russian economy.
