  1. Great video. I agree.

  2. This is the October Surprise. According to reports, Netanyahu wants Trump to win and so is refusing to participate in ceasefire/hostage negotiations until after the Presidential Election is won. To help Trump and hurt Harris (someone actively calling for a ceasefire), Israel is gambling on escalating to win. Iran doesn't want to escalate and doesn't want Trump to win; so if Harris loses, Netanyahu sees it as a win-win. After all, Trump/Vance have actively called for war with Iran, either way.

  4. Since the war began, the phrase "Special Military Operation" has been cycling throughout my mind. It started out as a bad joke, then an internet meme, and now words that haunt me and overshadow the rest of 2020. It honestly brought me back to a phrase from two decades earlier, in 2002. Both false flag pretexts; following unprovoked military invasions; lead to humanitarian abuses and even wider destabilization. Essentially, "Special Military Operation" is the new "Weapons of Mass Destruction".

  5. Putin is soft boy. He is obvious not a hard-boiled MAN! So he probably eats his eggs soft-boiled. Edit: TEN EGGS, scrambled!!?? That's too much for a human. (But he is still not hard-boiled!)

  6. That's a good thing. Wagner should just keep going and leave Ukraine alone!

  7. US said 'how come Hamas won't come to the table?' Gee, maybe because Israel killed all their negotiators. Also, most experts think that Netanyahu won't agree to a ceasefire until after Nov 5 to hurt Harris's chances.

  8. Yeah. Precision-guided missiles aren't necessary accurate all the time. It was bound to happen.

  9. Everybody keeps saying that, during WW1, Italy was in the right and that it didn't abandon its alliance. BUT: Actually, the Austro-Hungarians and the Germans saw the assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand by a Serb (Serbians were backed by the Russian Empire) as the start of the war. Therefore, the Kingdom of Italy was obligated to join in on the war as the defensive pact was triggered. Instead, Italy broke that promise, declared "nEuTrAlItY" and only joined in 1915 for its own territorial interests -- ultimately switching sides, again for its own territorial interests. These are the objective facts.

  10. First and foremost, Ukraine will never surrender. Kyiv would simply transition from positional to guerilla warfare and start checking off to Geneva "suggestions". Second, even if Kremlin-lover Trump wins by some miracle and stops all aid, other NATO members like France & Poland are dedicated to the war. Given how the whole world is Trump-proofing in, I'm sure Ukrainian war planners have such drastic contingency in mind.

  11. Definitely. I think Merk is a goat but she really made the wrong bet by getting too economically entangled with a country hostile to you.

  12. Great video and very objective reasoning. Also, it seems like you have a solid understanding of a gambler's psychology. LOL I like that outro. I can't believe I still remember that funny ass story about the Olympics. 🤣 Thank God we're using the same calendar now!

  13. I'm honestly sick of the narrative that the United States contributes the lion's share of aid going to Ukraine. That is just flat out false. Europe contributes more than us. Yet, we are about to hit $30 Trillion in GDP.... These last six month we sent ZERO while everyone else ramped up aid. Trump's GOP is making the US commit alliance abandonment as he accuses Europe and Asia of the very same thing.

  14. Exactly. And quite frankly, it seems to me like Ukraine has better war planners than our government. Also, Biden is a hypocrite. He refuses to restrain the way Israel's fights, but Ukraine is constantly getting second-guessed by his Administration.

  15.  @advancetotabletop5328  Excuse me? Little to no support from the West. I WISH! We are financing their genocide with taxpayer money and arming them with American weapons. When they got attacked by Iranian barrage, WE defended Israeli airspace. Israel is the favorite child that is spoiled rotten and can get away with doing anything.

  16. Dread and terror from possible nuclear detention starting in Europe then spread + great power backed civil wars and/or coups all over the globe. It's funny how the US is not responsible for half of the aggression this time like the used to be. Now they are trying to mediate everywhere and epically failing.

  17. One thing that wasn't noted is that, if or when the dam is destroyed, most of the flooding will happen on the east side of the river, due to geography. Do with this information what you will. I just wanted to share it.

  18. TikTok's response to the "secret" voting on the divestiture bill -- organizing users across America to influence their representatives -- was its 'Mask Off' moment and it totally backfired. More importantly tho, that just goes to show how power these social media apps are. Can you imagine the immense potential for sociopolitical change that these platforms could bring by simply organizing people and resources across states and maybe even countries? Yet, that type of great power is in the hands of companies like ByteDance and Zuck's Meta. Crazy world we live in.

  19. For Putin, what's in the middle of general mobilization and 'Special Military Operation'? "Reports of Putin signing a decree on partial mobilization for citizens."

  22. ​ @letao12  Your talking about just lines. Lines on maps are a social & state construct unique to humans. AI would be horrible at the political calculus needed for reaching an end to the war based on abstract costs and benefits. (I know you're (probably) joking btw.)

  23. I like that but we just finished warning America about Project 2025 as best we could and they said we were "fearmongering". People just won't listen until it is too late.

  25. What kind of war will Trump wage against Iran. Will he make Israel fight it? Will he order a direct naval war? Or a bomber war? Because even Trump-Vance can't be crazy enough for a direct land war against a million-man army in some of the most mountainous regions in the Middle East.

  27. You might be underestimating partisan activity. If Ukraini really wants to, helped by the US backchanneling, it could discretely communicate with partisans in occupied territory (most likely what happened with the explosions in Crimea). The most likely reality is that Kyiv has factored in the risk-to-reward ratio. So, objectively speaking, they probably decided they shouldn't destroy the Crimean bridge -- at least for now.

  28. ​ @spyofred1791  You're entitled to your opinions. But here is a fact: the only dictators that have caused more damage to humanity than Hitler are Stalin and Mao. When talking about the Soviet Union's actions in and leading up to WW2, you HAVE to talk about Stalin's Holodomor, Stalin's military/political purges, how Stalin got in bed with Hitler, Stalin's gulags, ​Red Army's war crimes, Stalin's gentrification and prosecution of minorities; you get the idea. Because of him, Poland was dismembered and Eastern Europe became one of the worst fronts in the entire war. Stalin is (indirectly) responsible for the siege of Stalingrad by trusting the Nazis. At least the Allies' appeasement was so they can get more time to militarize...

  29.  @eaman11  momentum* One; The Crown Prince of Saudi Arabia, a major OPEC state, has already made a deal with Biden to increase supply (not by drilling but by process existing reserves). Two; For Tehran, the West lifting sanctions would give it much-needed breathing room in its foreign policy -- which it needs if it is to become a great power.

  44.  @Aloo_Dum  That's the thing tho. Douyin is not TikTok. Douyin is a seperate app for meant just for Chinese users. ByteDances's international app is TikTok and that is the one that has been banned in China. Douyin is allowed but TikTok is not.

  46. Xi will emerge as the premier superpower by 2028 as long as he doesn't do something stupid. MY fear here is that Trump's unexpected love for Putin and Netanyahu will tempt Xi to finally test the theory of Strategic Ambiguity. And at this point, even we Americans don't think Trump will defend Taiwan. Hell they might get shaken down by Trump himself.

  47. I completely agree. The Battle of Hostomov/Antonov Airport was the critical point that decided the fate of the war that the Russians started in 2014. And it probably also decided the final outcome of the invasion that started last February, too. On another note: Damn. It hasn't even been a full year since Putin launched the invasion. But President Zelenskyy looks like he has aged as much, in one year, as Obama did in 8 years of the Presidency.
