  1. South Africa is a failed state. But hey, diversity is our strength.

  2.  @alexyerena1751  - It is so annoying that Islam has been protected as a class in the West. We don't need to be aggressive with them, but we do need to be honest.

  3. @MSD Group - Hahaha, Russian trolls are so funny. If you haven't noticed, Russia is a tiny economy. It hasn't started the move away from the dollar, if anything it has started the move even further away from the ruble. The entire Western world us united against Russia. Countries like Finland and Sweden are now joining NATO, so he actually made NATO larger. His armed forces have been shown to be weak and ineffective from years of corruptions. Europe is now on the path to cemetery stop buying Russian gas, Germany within 2 years. Speaking of Germany, they just spent 100 billion on their army because of Putin. I hope you aren't getting paid for these posts in rubles, lol

  4.  @habilsubarqah  - No, Israel is an important ally in the ME. It is a geopolitical no brainer.

  5. Yawn. This simplistic "Oppressor/Oppressed" mythology has gotten very old very fast. It is basically just saying you have no accountability because you have deemed your cause righteous. I have another quote for you, "There is nothing more dangerous than a righteous man"

  6. Indeed. As an American, I know Germans tend to look down on us and think badly of our society, but thay is all the more reason to try and be better. Sometimes it gets on my nerves, but overall we are allies, and I expect Germany to do the right thing in the end. My Grandma came from Germany when she was a child, so I have a special like for the country. Glad they are finally beefing up their military!

  7. Are you equating Ukraine with Gaza? They are nothing alike, and the comparison is completely absurd.
    10
  8. This is all so dramatic. Many countries make deals to get support during a war. It is not our war, and most Americans hadn’t ever thought about Ukraine until the war started.

  9. Europe is used to freeloading off the US

  10. @@newmoon1448 - Hahaha, this is such a good comment. The guy you are replying to is living in lala land. They have no clue what Israel is dealing with.

  11. They are always the victims in their minds. Never their fault for anything. Quite sad

  12.  @Whitebeard1111  - No one is going to nuke anyone. That would be suicide. Russia is just as afraid of nuking us as we are of them.

  13.  @habilsubarqah  - Israel is our ally for a multitude of good reasons. What exactly is your question here? Are you honestly confused by what is happening? You can't think of the reasons Israel is a close ally?

  14.  @NataliaSolina  - No, they are allies. I know that is a foreign concept to Russians like you

  15.  @arindamchakraborty746  - Russia will be on par with African countries after its economy collapses.
    7
  16. @ - The inequality isn’t going away because it was never about land ownership. It was about a different culture fully modern in economics and industry going against a culture which never had the Industrial Revolution. This is why land reform often ends up with unproductive land and drives the country off of a cliff. For some reason, people thinking owning land is having prosperity. It isn’t, and that mindset has killed Africa before

  17. Could you clarify what you are referring to?

  18. I had to do a double take on that one. Europe is not in a good spot if a tax haven is their greatest claim to fame

  19. They have egos like you wouldn’t believe. They are convinced allah is going to give them Palestine because of their religion. It’s true insanity
    6
  20. Why don't they ever ask hard questions of Palestinians but they ask hard questions of Israel? Channel 4 is the worst with that, but DW isn't spotless.

  21.  @lunthang7453  - No, and cowardly China is supporting Russia because they also want to invade a democracy, Taiwan.
    6
  22.  @ela7893 - Yes. Either the Lebanese can’t control the militias in their won borders and their are a failed state, or they are responsible for what goes on in their borders. If they are a failed state, of course Israel has no choice but to go in. I think the entire ME needs to be taught remedial logic and consequences for their own actions

  23. Trump was a loser and the world was laughing at us with him as president.
    6
  24.  @coin9007  - You can't win them all. Libya has not worked out well, but ironically Iraq now has democracy which allows the Shia majority to actually have a say. Democracy is messy, it is hard to pull off, it can't always go perfectly.
    6
  25.  @SamAli2030 - You guys can keep repeating that until you die, it still won’t be true. Israel is our ally, and considering we have the strongest military, they aren’t ever going anywhere. Cry as much as you want, and oh boy do you guys cry, Israel will never be destroyed. We are never helping our enemies destroy our ally, get over it and grow up

  26. Reads like a bot or Trump tweet.

  27.  @Achilles-n4o - I get that many Westerners are reluctant to talk truthfully about the situation, but it is weird how you Russian allied people always downplay their actions. Can the US invade Russia because Chechnya’s population wants to secede? What Russia did was terrible, like we are back in the 1920’s or something

  28.  @habilsubarqah  - Nope, we are there to stop any foreign actors from taking advantage of the situation.

  29.  @WouldntULikeToKnow.  - What? That is the opposite of reality. Private companies won’t throw money at research unless it is targeted and verifiably true. The government just throws money at anything and barely cares if it is spent well. Government funded research is necessary, but it should be limited and precise

  30.  @nightking8490  - Much better than India. At least we use toilets, lol

  31.  @subfreakuent  - The US does have some good state funded channels like PBS. It is the corporate, for profit channels that are terrible.

  34.  @MetallicReg  - If they don't pay at all, literally every country on earth would charge astronomical rates to borrow even a dollar. That would ve very, very bad for the Russian economy. Instant depression

  35.  Filip Trendafilov  - No, Russia destroyed Ukraine because it is a corrupt gas station with an army.

  36. @EstaJeanette-nk7fj - How about the people themselves? Weird how you guys act like you aren’t responsible for the majority of your own lives
    3
  37.  @Kiyuja - European economies have seen paltry growth compared to the US since 2008. The US pulled away and is significantly richer now. Europe went all in on high taxes, unions, and government regulation. This has strangled companies and now their very social model seems to be on the way out. Not looking great for Europe, and with their demographics, it will get worse and worse
    3
  38. Ya, I love DW, American channels are so partisan. The two party system in the US is terrible, it poisons everything.
    3
  39.  @bz1222  - What is really annoying is people who support Russia in the US just because Democrats strongly condemn Russia. Our two party system has made some of our population drooling tards.
    3
  40.  @mnemonija - No, no they are not. Germany has lagged far behind the US over the last 10 years with basically no growth. The EU GDP is significantly smaller than the US GDP when they were roughly on par in 2008. The regulation, heavy taxes, and combative unions means that Germany is where innovation goes to die. Look at VW, they have far too many workers but they can’t do anything about it because unions won’t let companies innovate lest they cut down on workers. Turns out social democracy wasn’t really a great idea for long term prosperity

  42.  @Hshshdhbdksmsbdhdh - I was just reacting to the Indian nationalists who never let anyone criticize India. The internet is full of them, and it becomes annoying after a while. If I was with an individual, I would have a reasonable conversation about the strengths and weaknesses of India, but... come on dude, we're on YouTube, so I didn't try too hard.

  46. Indeed. But for people saying the US doesn't have this, we actually do. Look at PBS and NPR, they are quite similar to DW. Their only problem is that they have embraced identity politics, but other than that they are quite good.

  48. I agree with you, but this is a very hard task. Not likely to happen any time soon. Africa desperately needs foreign investment and help with their development. If left alone, they tend to splinter into civil wars and lose all progress.

  49.  @noirekuroraigami2270  - Lol, what? It's economy hasn't been a powerhouse for decades, it is a pathetic economy. Ever heard of the resource curse?

  50.  @bulthaosen1169 - That is like saying agriculture is the engine of an economy and factories are just “turbos” to get better economic numbers

  51. ​ @RebeccaTurner-ny1xx - You can always spit someone who has been educated on social media when they freely bandy about buzzwords. The word fascist has utterly lost all meaning because of people like you.
    2
  52. Yes, the "free palestine" people were celebrating after the horrific attacks, while Westerners with a brain weren't doing that while siding with Israel. The movement against Israel is straight up full of bad people, it manifests in all of their behavior. The losers of society coming together to rage at the Western values.

  54.  @nvmtt  - I know everything there is to know about this conflict, I wasn't educated on YouTube. I took a college course for an entire semester, going back before the Balfour declaration. You are being hoodwinked by islamists. Doesn't take much to manipulate some people, eh?

  55. Anyone else getting tired of this whole victim schtick you are seeing in the global south? They are latching onto our self hating progressives in order to advance the interests of our enemies.

  56. Man, you Indians sure have a hard time taking criticism and giving criticism of Russia.

  57.  @oluwaseunarogundade7916  - They aren't invading a democracy at rhe moment. You have to pick your battles. Or, you could be like India and just stand for nothing.

  60.  @julianpetkov8320  - Hey, I'm cool with being an ally of the British Empire. Problem is, Britain doesn't have an empire. But they are a good ally, even if they aren't in the EU. The EU has been toothless for far too long, it is time the EU becomes an equal partner.
    2
  61.  @julianpetkov8320  - Um, I'm not a red coat you weirdo, lol. Pretty sure my country wasn't exactly fond of the red coats. And the Anglosphere is not an empire, but an alliance. What country are you from where this is a foreign concept?

  68.  @MadDragon76  - Could you say that differently, I am a bit confused on what you said.
    2
  69.  @MadDragon76  - Thanks, I appreciate it. Some people are just hateful by nature, and they wouldn't think twice about the suffering of millions. I wish some people weren't like that. If I ever end up in a situation where I am a minority and oppressed, I would hope people around me would value my life.

  70. EU regulates, the US innovates. Europe is a dying continent

  71. DW does a halfway decent job except when it comes to social issues. Then they become progressive and illogical, listening to every sob story imaginable

  72. It's a war dude. Everyone is surprised people die in a war, lol

  74.  @TheFoki1403 - Europeans sure love big government. Too bad their demographics are going to bring it all crashing down. They were able to tread water by outsourcing their defense, but it is like partying on a credit card. Eventually the bill comes due
    2
  75.  @siphamandlamkhize9766  - Might want to check the objective data. The US is doing wonderfully as our GDP far exceeds the EU now. We have healthy demographics and healthy growth. The objective data is clear. Hopefully now we can focus on our own country instead of propping up European defense and making sure Palestinians are fed.

  76.  @cedar9607  - Maybe stop saying you want to erase Israel from the map?

  77. They just have to start using toilets and atop scamming old people in the US
    2
  78.  @shoutout3651  - No, there aren't call centers in the US dedicated to scamming Indians. I mean, it is partly because you are so poor it wouldn't be worth the time, lol. But seriously, I get so many calls from Indian scammers it's annoying. I like to ask them if their mother would be proud of what they are doing, and if they have indoor plumbing at their call center lol

  81. You Korean?

  82.  @Don_Puparo  - Lol, couldn't be more opposite. This guy is all about the economy. What leftists in SA never understood is that if you prioritize the economy, everyone is better off. Instead, they use populist measures to hand out welfare left and right. Mainly left, haha. Anyways, leftists have many problems, so I won't get too far into that.

    1
  87. @ - No, it isn’t possible. You have to have land on the European continent according to their own rules. Furthermore, it would require Canada to change all their standards and be incompatible with the US. You know, just 80 percent of its trade. That won’t be made up by the EU, it’s not even possible. What is happening is Canadians are all emotional about Trump and they want to feel like they have power over the US so they concoct this fantasy about joining the US. Canada is incredibly weak on the geopolitical scene, no one takes you guys very seriously as far as geopolitical ambitions go. I get that people are mad about Trump, but these fantasies aren’t helping you

  88. Opponents of Israel's actions have no solution, they simply want Israel to stop and they don't care or actually want Israel to be put at a disadvantage. Basically, just deal with the attack and sit there knowing there will be more in the future. No country would accept this, the US would have moved the whole population by now, Israel has been quite restrained.

  89. Why did anyone trust hamas to begin with? Clearly that side will do and say anything to further their cause.

  95. Germans are dependent on a welfare state. They have to work more, and still probably won’t be enough. Soon it will be, “Work, don’t work, we don’t care because you aren’t getting a pension”

  96.  @Sam-hd7iy - This is a conspiracy theory commonly peddled by Arabs. It would be like finding a conspiracy theorist in the US and saying that is the US plan.

  98. @SKBPM_ENIGMATIK  - Palestinians are anything but innocent. They want to destroy Israel, this is how enemies get treated. They can cry to people like you, but honestly people like you are fooled by the latest fad anyways, so not a big gain on their part.

  99. Yep. There is no more illogical a position than progressives and their border policy. It is all emotion, no logic. I’m tired of being governed by people like that
    1
  100. @ - It’s way past time we take control of our border. I am tired of hearing bleeding heart liberals promote an open border because of their fee fees.
    1
  101. Your welfare state isn’t sustainable. Either people work more or you slash benefits. In reality, it’s probably going to be both and it is going to be forced on you by material conditions. I can’t see Germans actually voting away their welfare state
    1
  102. Gazans live completely off of aid. They have literally made their entire existence as "We wont admit we lost a war we started in 1948" and somehow Western people think a functional country will ever come from this? These people have been radicalized from day one, and they draw in the entire islamic world. Such a sad existence, all for some misplaced hatred and pride.

  103.  @vornamenachname1572 - Childish insults like that is pretty par for course for people on the left now that the world sees their ideology doesn’t work.

  105.  @listener8228 - They complain all the time. They aren’t capable of building a prosperous society so they act like victims 24/7. No wonder progressives love them, sickening
    1
  106.  @algernonsidney8746  - It was a response to the war, the Arab states said they were going to crush the Israelis and Arabs thought they would be able to return. Some of them were forced out but for the vast majority it was a result of neighboring states refusing to recognize Israel’s existence. Time and time again those countries try something, fail, and then go crying to the West about being oppressed. It is comical how this cycle keeps repeating. No wonder it is only the young and naive in the West who buy it. They will learn like everyone else has learned as they get older

  107. I noticed in the last interview, the woman never once mentioned the history of Palestinians starting civil wars in literally every single country they have been refugees in. Why is that?

  109. It is actually crazy the entitlement people have to come here illegally. It’s all emotion, no logic. They just say you’re a bad person if you don’t have open borders. It’s insanity. I am sick to death of progressives and their complete lack of intelligence
    1
  110. @whitewinter4066  - Boston College. But there isn't that much to really know. There was no large scale displacement of Palestinians until after Arab countries attacked the nascent Israel. It's been a war Palestinians have refused to stop since that day.

  112. This isn’t true at all. The science is very clear, women have less kids because they don’t want to be a mom to a lot of kids. It’s a lifestyle choice. No government program is going to change that

  113.  @nadal1275 - No one takes Germany seriously when they call them far right. Deporting illegal immigrants is far right to many of the uber left Germans

  116. It’s funny how the guy basically passed over the real reasons. High taxes, high regulation, too much union power. He acted like those are afterthoughts when they are the reason Germany is in this mess. Germans haven’t realized yet that they can’t afford their welfare state. They don’t have the demographics nor the economy for it

  117. A cease fire is literally planned for by Hamas, it would be directly aiding their war strategy. What liberal democracy with any morals would deliberately aid a group like Hamas? War has causalities, but it is war, and suggesting Israel must do nothing for defense is insanity. I am glad my country is resolutely backing up Israel.

  126.  @mychannel3774  - No, you are talking about nebulous and vague concepts which, according to you, are the cause of all these problems. It would be like the US blaming Afghanistan for all its actions post 9/11 because they attacked. It is an immature viewpoint more worried about absolving people of responsibility rather than looking at reality

  127. @ - That’s the same misinformation from the famous Austrian painter. He thought growth meant taking part of a fixed pie, but that isn’t what economic growth is. Europeans make so many excuses for their bad economy it’s crazy. They are so nationalistic it blinds them

  128. Lebanon is already a failed state, it really can’t get more broken than it is. Also, why do you guys always throw around buzzwords instead of intelligent arguments? Well, we all know why, because you have been brainwashed and aren’t that intelligent, but could you at least be quiet and stop embarrassing the west?

  129. The model of social democracy isn’t looking so hot right now. It doesn’t work with a rock bottom fertility rate. Ironic that feminists are all about a welfare state while also encouraging behavior which destroyed it.

  130. Germany won’t be able to afford its welfare state. Pensions, unemployment benefits, something is going to need to be slashed to the bone. They have bad demographics, high regulation, and high taxes. Not a bright future ahead

  139.  @WillEede - Sorry dude, you don’t have any other options. You guys have been trying to come up with miracle schemes which don’t touch your massive welfare state for years now. There are none. You have to cut expenses and get a lot of people off the government tit. If you don’t, it will just make everyone poorer. You are letting your lower class ruin your country because they emotionally blackmail you. There are no other options, either Argentina becomes leaner or you should prepare for an entire lifetime of economic crisis

If you let the lower class hold the country hostage, that means you have your worst minds and worst workers driving the bulk of your country’s future. That is a horrible idea and one of the big reasons Argentina sucks so bad now

  144. The world is turning multi polar and you want to be the weak third bloc? Seems like a rather short sighted foreign policy idea. With climate change countries are only going to get more belligerent.

  145. ​ @blitcut9712 - You realize that just because there aren't clear boundaries doesn't mean races don't exist, right? How do you even think DNA ancestry sites work? Haplogroups are whats usually used to determine different phenotypes. It is the social scientists who say it's all a social construct. They say that about everything l. And they are wrong on just about everything

  148. It’s hilarious how some Europeans act like Hezbollah was attacking for Palestine and just being rational. They attacked before Israel even responded, their motivation has been the destruction of Israel the whole time. They don’t react logically, they take any opportunity they can get to try and destroy Israel. What has happened to the intelligence in Europe? So many Europeans are making fools of themselves these days

  152. @anshuraj4277  - No one wants that, even Israelis. But they have an enemy he'll bent in their destruction at any costs. All attempts at offering peaceful routes were denied because they still allowed Israel to exist. So, I really don't care if they cry about occupation, they are continuing a war they have been waging for decades, and part of their strategy is to gain sympathy from Westerners by cosplaying as "freedom fighters"

    1
  156.  @LouisLerouge  - Then why don't they ask Palestinians even the most slightly difficult question? Why are they never asked about what should happen to israel? I'll tell you, it's because 90+% of them would say, on camera, that they want to destroy Israel.

  157.  EJ Z  - China knew Russia was going to invade and asked them to postpone it till after the Olympics. In any event, they will eventually use their military to invade Taiwan.
    1
  158.  EJ Z  - Which is a bad move. If they are worried about security, they need to sign an agreement with Taiwan that they won't have any weapons which could threaten the Chinese mainland. But they should let Taiwan remain an independent democracy.

  160.  @DearProfessorRF  - He should though, his particular brand of leftism/anti-colonial thinking is extremely short sighted, not to mention completely bonkers. An incompetent enemy is not the same thing as an oppressed people, something a lot of people have a difficult time understanding.

  161. I mean, resources don’t make countries rich unless they have a tiny population. Adding value to basic materials is where the wealth is, and you need strong institutions and culture for that. The resource curse is real

  168. @ - Lol, then the Soviet Union must have been the best place on earth! No, median income measures the average person, and a country does the best it can for the most people, which is represented in median figures. So, nice try, but that is just coping dude. We are doing extremely well, as much as people on the left hate it. Economics has always been conservative, which is why SA has faced enormous problems since being ruled by a left wing group. Some people just don’t learn

  177. Ya, it is so sad how Western leftists think that they are doing something good. Palestinians literally rely on liberal weakness so they can attack, cry foul, get aid to rebuild, and attack again. They won’t accept anything less than the destruction of Israel. Yet they think trump is crazy?

  181. Palestinians branding themselves as oppressed anti-colonialists to gain western sympathy was a brilliant move. Now all of our mentally challenged citizens of the left do a lot of their work for them. Just like they did for the USSR. They haven't met wh enemy of the West that they don't love.

  187. @Roma Invicta  - This hasn't even scratched the surface of the collective might of the West, but unfortunately Russians are quite insane when it comes to nuclear weapons. They constantly threaten to nuke the US, so with people that crazy, it is better to take a subtle approach. Russia is already losing, their GDP per capita is pathetic compared to Western Europe let alone the United States. Their weapons are old and low tech. Sad country, it is like there is something fundamentally wrong with the essence of being Russian, like it is in their DNA. Too bad, they will continue to suffer under autocracy and relatively squalid living conditions.

  191.  @aegaeon117  - Iran is scared to death of Israeli casualties because it knows such an attack would force a response from Israel. Iran even warned the US before sending missiles at US bases so there were no casualties. Iran is crazy but they aren’t so crazy as to ensure their own destruction, they want no war with Israel as long as the US has its back. And we have their back for as long as they need, Israel isn’t going anywhere

  193.  @bamdadkhan - It’s called war, the endless crying about collateral damage rings so hollow when it comes from the aggressors. They thought they could try to destroy Israel and Israel would what? Agree to a ceasefire right after they are attacked but before they respond? It’s just insanity what Islamists and their left wing allies think, they have such a fundamental disconnect from reality

  194. They have much bigger problems than that. Their whole system is on shaky ground. They have sky high taxes and a ton of unions/regulations. Their entire business community is in a straight jacket. They also have a demographic time bomb. Since they are addicted to welfare they simply won’t vote to reform their system. It will just limp along until it all comes crashing down. This is why you don’t hand out welfare like candy, it basically breaks the steering wheel of the nation and it becomes committed to a destructive path

  195. @Johan Helberg Ancient History Secrets - Putin isn't nuking anyone. Doesn't matter how many underground bunkers they have, a nuclear war would kill millions of their citizens and destroy their country. Everyone loses In a nuclear war, and Putin isn't crazy enough to do it

  197. Isnt it pathetic that the gazans cant live without everyone giving them everything to live? They spend 100% of their efforts on destroying israel, still fail horribly, and then beg the world for an endless stream of help. They did one thing right, appealing to bleeding heart westerners who are basically a fifth column at this point. Check out who supports palestine, then israel. It is basically dictatorships vs democracy.

  198.  @김지연-w6r  - I can usually tell by your writing. Japanese, Korean, and Chinese all have slight differences, but you already know that. I just kind of picked up on it when looking at various writing samples. Mandarin seems way too busy, like there are too many strokes happening with each character. But anyways, I have had nothing but good experiences with Koreans here in America. I don't know if it is your culture or what, but you guys seem to be really hard working and really i intelligent. You make a fine addition to the American populace. Have you ever been to America? The only thing that I think is kind of weird about Korea, besides the entirety of North Korea, is that you have so many churches there. I know Americans spread them a lot when they went over there for the war and everything after, and I am actually a bit unhappy about that. I think we should have left you guys alone when it comes to religion, we should have spread Christianity.
