  3. 24:20 This is accurate. China uncensored did a video on it and basically it's a purge of the faction still aligned with the previous chairman who still holds a lot of power. Honestly it seems like Xi is trying to become the next Maou at least in my eyes.

  4. Yeah I take issue with the statement about the "more technologically advanced Germans" as they weren't really ahead and in some ways were behind. The biggest thing they had was coordination and the initiative to move quickly which is how their early victories and all successes of the war came. However you can see the deficiencies with such things as getting to the semi-auto rifle last, the fact that their tanks were worse than the French and even Soviet tanks (but had radios and had better economics) and weren't industrially capable of actually fully motorizing. They were certainly great at engineering and invention but honestly it was only to a certain point. It was really rough technological parity the whole time without any significant advantage. It's not like the soviets were 10 years behind. This really isn't comparable to the US who is ahead and always attempting to be ahead and if you keep up with any of the military stuff seeing that it's once again making a leap ahead.

  5. To be fair, that's a bit more realistic to think of weeks when things change so quickly

  6. So you're telling me that religion is necessary for longevity? Hmm... then the only thing I can say is: "deus vult"

  7. Another point I'd like to add about more numbers winning with technological parity: Vietnam with China. Also worth noting that the US didn't win in Vietnam since they couldn't change the lines on the map and the American people simply wanted out. A few more weeks after the Tet Offensive and the Vietnamese would've collapsed since they were on the verge of it. This is compared to a completely bungled invasion in Vietnam and 0 experience. Honestly I'm half expecting the Chinese to try to annex Vietnam again before they try something so that they can try to figure out how to actually war since the Russians did that with Poland and Finland figuring out what their issues were (though mostly on accident)

  8. Could someone tell me what he means by "inbuilt cultural submission to the Chinese"?

  10. 25:13 well Yellow and Dark blue is generally a good sign. Uh... everything else there kind of spells trouble as long as "far right" here means ultranationalist and not just like anarcho-capitalists or something.
