  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.

  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.

  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.

  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.

  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.

  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.

  32. Why are they owed access? This is a war.

  33. Yep. People are so tired of constantly blaming the West, it is such an unintelligent analysis

  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

  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

  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.

  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

  41. Hahahahaha. South Africa has been in decline for decades, it barely functions. Who are you trying to fool?

  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.

  43.  @HumanBeingsRThinkingBeings  - Lol, Israel? You NPC's always throw around the same buzzwords, showing your education came from Facebook University, lol

  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.

  47.  @kerncountystorieskcs3693 - You don’t get to come here illegally anymore. We are sick to death of your entitlement

  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
