Yeah, even trends have more exceptions than rules and while his content is entertaining, he sprinkles in completely unfounded statements and opinions- one that I can speak to was Tsarist Russia. It did have potential, but would not have lasted long due to Nicholas' inability to rule. The policy of aggressive Russification was breeding mutiny among minority groups, and Russia had failed to embrace liberal values and update their military. There were simply too many problems, and 'not communist' = 'better' is a huge simplification. He does this in pretty much every video, and it starts to annoy me

@milanvitu3963 That's all true but I meant 'liberal' from Tsarist times. He didn't allow the Duma to do anything and the serfs and peasants rose up against him. If Nikolas followed Western values of freedom and let the serfs free they would keep working for him happily, just with better conditions and pay. Then Russia economy would grow in 1910s and they could have been stable instead of revolution.

No, that was the Baby Boomers. We're in the first steps of decline, unless we make it to space and start another historical thread entirely

@FazeParticles Bruh, science was the one thing they excelled at. C'mon They bitchslapped the Americans with Sputnik and raced ahead in nuclear so fast that every modern fission design is still based on the Soviet tokamak

@sparkxrl5163 Sure, but it was developed by Soviet informants and spies within the Manhattan Project itself- and the Soviets took nuclear tech to new heights. I mean the Italians stole silkworms from China but that doesn't discount their later textile achievements because of it. Not to mention the Americans were only able to develop that tech in the first place because of captured German tech. They secretly pardoned Nazis to help beat the Soviets --Cruel even by Russian standards. Certainly by supposedly American ones
