1:39 I really don’t understand why you continuously repeating the same mistakes in many of your videos..?? Why you call Mosaddegh government in Iran, a democratically elected…? It wasn’t… he was a prime minister selected by the Emperor of Iran and was kicked out by him according to the constitution of Iran then…But Mosaddegh tried to stage a coup against the shah with the help of clergy and USSR that was initially successful but after the coup he dismantled the parliament and the judiciary and wanted to start his own dictatorship that with the help of the US money, all the same clergy that initially supported him, all the members of parliament, the generals that didn’t want him as their new leader, and judges, he was kicked out eventually…!! In the Iranian constitution of the time, Shah selects and kicks out the prime ministers not election..!! Mosaddegh himself was against the elections since the constitutional revolution during the dynasty before Pahlavi…
After watching countless videos from him. There is only one conclusion I got. He’s joke. If not so, he is definitely justifying U.S rule over the world.
Should do a video on if mermaids are real ? , That would be an interesting story especially if you look at first hand sources near Bangladesh that have these legendary tales of seeing them
When one loses blood, the first one to be sucked is an ally. Even rabbits won't eat the grass next to their nest. It seems that some people have no intention of considering it for a long time
Honestly, as a Russian, I am very skeptical of this and believe that this 'New cold war' topic is inflated. I mean, the world is too globalized and interdependent right now. In the real cold war time, there was virtually no trade and closed borders between two blocks and now more than half of China's trade is with the West and vice versa. Every political move discussed is in my view hypocritical, since everyone keeps trading with everyone regardless of these 'alliances'. And that Brics are developing a new currency is just laughable, they aren't even an alliance (SA's president was to arrest Putin if he comes)
Even in the original cold war there was some trade and relations between the blocks. Maybe not for the people, but for the governments and the powerful at least. The interdependency is keeping things from collapsing, but we see in the last years that the new blocks are trying to cut this dependency. But at the end of the day, global politics is just the result of thousands of small decision by people with conflicting interests, who will cooperate for some time if it helps them all.
Too right. The idea BRICS could compete with the G7 is complete delusion. China and India being best friends, South Africa a growing economy. Lol next joke
Also from ideological point of view, China or Russia don't provide any solid and self-sufficient ideology or vision of better future as Soviet Union did. Economic growth of these countries was nurtured and empowered by the West, and politically China and Russia are way too corrupt and unripe compared to Western Democracies. Thus, to call it a new bipolar world is exaggerated. Most countries still see democracy as their ideal and only lean towards the East in some specific matters.
I just feel like compared to G7, BRICS still have a far way to go, Russia is entwined in a war, India and China still have trash relations with border issues, Brazil and South Africa aren't the booming tigers they were 20 years back and showed signs of slowing down
You're correct about BRICS, but damn, as a South African it bugs me that it's the only country you didn't capitalise in your comment lol. The economy, due to a incompetent and corrupt political party, is in massive decline...but we still deserve an upper case 'S' :p
Ya his understanding of the BRICS countries is soo far from reality lol, none of them are seriously talking about a new currency and Indian and Chinese troops are litteraly killing each others with spears in the Himalayas right now.
it's absurd that this man stood in front of the COUNTRY and said NUCULAR weapons literally unable to say the word properly @1:56. NUCULAR WEAPONS? are you in the 5th grade? seriously someone please explain this to me.
There's a lot to be said for old school effects and other "old school" additives/techniques that went underappreciated and have slowly become lost in the modern media landscape. Slowly we're learning why they were so good and ubiquitous to begin with. Look at the cinema. It's the one place where many young people including myself and even some of the older generations might listen to a piece of really traditional classical music without even noticing it, because it just works!
I completely HATE the sound effects & music. Amusing that I just wrote how much it drove me insane & that couldn't even stand to watch the rest of the video. I'm old & this was NOT how videos used to be. It's new & something Millennials or younger stuff into their videos. It's distracting, annoying & makes hearing the words harder (for old ears).
I'm obsessed with all of your videos. I've almost watched 20 videos in a day and now i feel so intelligent for the last three month i can almost throw a word in any political conversation
We’ve been in a new Cold War for several years at this point. Considering trade wars and militarization of the South China Sea, things could and likely will get significantly more serious. The Cold War with the USSR has a debated start date, and this one will too when we look back on it.
@@EBBEBBEBBE Working on your "social credit score"? There's an Indian Ocean - India doesn't own it just because it has the same name. . Taiwan is properly called Republic of China, the Communist Chinese do not own that, either.
8:00 BRICS is not some rival to the West or NATO. To make a single currency or military alliance between such disparate far-flung countries would take a lot more unity and mutual co-operation than these states are capable of. The EU is geographically and culturally linked through their proximity to one another and even they haven't managed to spread the Euro to all members, or establish a formal alliance that isn't NATO. China and India are always skirmishing over their border, Russia's a global pariah, and South Africa is nearly a failed state that recently threatened to arrest Putin if he stopped by for the BRICS summit. NATO they ain't. And a mutual trade currency can't have garbage economies attached to it (South Africa, arguably Russia). Look what Greece did to the Eurozone.
@@FunfacksIndia sees US very favourably, almost as favourably as they see Russia according to surveys of the population. And it’s undeniable that US- India ties are increasing exponentially, with the two holding the same enemy (China) and holding similar values.
The EU also had centuries of infighting between todays member states, there was also a "military" consensus that something had to be done regarding cooperation in the EU
this is such a nuanced take- so often we see china being portrayed as something of an aggressor but seeing it from a more neutral perspective you can kinda see why they view the west as hypocritical
Yeah china hasn’t been aggressive compared to any other world power since they came into power really. The only things that come to mind of them sending troops to other places: Korean War, invasion of Tibet and the sino-Vietnamese war. One of which also had American troops, and they have also invaded Vietnam. And China haven’t invaded Iraq, Libya and Afghanistan
while China is being the biggest hypocrite. I cannot agree more. What China is portraying as a global peace maker, but in fact its policies is straight out imperialism while the US is at the very least keeping a façade of capitalism. While claim to be a non-aggressor to the world, it has been threatening Taiwan for decades. I guess your neutral perspective is more of a copium sadly.
@@waltuh2.3bviews3secondsago3I thought us participated in both Korean war and vietnamese War. Therefore, instead of “one of which”, it’s actually 2/3. Beyond that, tibet was under serfdom before China step in. So, with modern social agreement that slavery is bad, I believe it is not a intrusion for the people of Tibet, but only a intrusion to whoever in power of Tibet.
If theres a conflict it will be very limited due to MAD. Naval warfare is possible, if both parties deem it containable. Im more worried about lack of cooperation on climate change and ai, and negative economic effects
Speaking as a Chinese who studied in the US, this saddens me greatly. There is nothing I can do because the movements on the current trajectories, were set in motion a long time ago. The only way to get out of this is time taking its course, there is no going back, globalization as I knew and grown up in, is doomed.
This saddens me as well, as I am a US student who will study in China this coming January. I think these types of exchange programs and experiences can help foster greater understanding and empathy between US and China, and I wish there were more.
@@bobzavon Sorry to upset you, but alas, mutual understanding between people will not help prevent conflicts between China and the United States. This is a conflict of authorities who are trying to get more power. Even if the US chooses a politician who will try more to negotiate with China, China itself will not give up the idea of expanding its influence. The conflict can only be resolved if there is a third party that can contain both. Previously, there were such hopes for the EU, but its forces are not enough to influence it as a full-fledged single country

@@blizzard1198As an American I have a bad feeling about the next couple of years, any wrong move between NATO/Japan/SK/Australia and Russia/China/Iran would be 20 times more bloody than ww2 ever was.
@@blizzard1198 yea but right now its likely for BRICS to fall since China rules due to them being the de facto superpower, and they all have very little in common, their goals and ideologies are different, Russia and China are historic communist states, Brazil are just there to take as much as they can and are historically US allies. South Africa is riddled with problems, not to mention the US and NATO could starve China to submission if they could blockade the South China Sea but it’s means nukes over America and China, so it’s a lose-lose
Regarding to Brazil, the country will always pursue good diplomatic relations with all countries, not picking any side, unless certain country acts against Brazil specifically. This is what it has been since the country's independence, and politically tries to keep in this way. That's not only for "best deals" as mentioned.
It is for best deals and there’s nothing wrong with that. There is no idealism in international relations, there are only national interests. And Brazil is allowed to have them just like the US, Europe and other developed countries.
As the Roman poet Juvenal once said, "Quis custodiet ipsos custodes?" (Who will guard the guards themselves?) The problem with a unipolar global order is that sooner or later, the superpower that claims to be the guardian of justice will misuse that power.
I agree. Hopefully a bipolar world will make Americans realize there is a greater enemy than each other making liberals and conservatives cooperate. I hope.

Hungary under Orban has further isolated itself from its allies. He is playing power politics to enrich himself, make no mistake about it. If you think for one second that Hungary is benefitting themselves with these actions, you are in for a big surprize.
Super interesting that you used Brazil as an example! As a Brazilian living in Brazil, one of the main topics that we discuss in international politics is not what side to take, but rather which areas we should do an alliance with China or US/EU.
@@matthewhearn9497 Brazil doesn't really need a military alliance with any country. That said, both the US and China are important trade partners. It is worth pointing out that to a certain extent those two giants also depend on Brazil for trade.
Honestly, as an American, This reality of a modern day “Cold War” is a bit frightening. I find it amazing that despite humanity going through the bloodiest war in history just 80 years ago that another war is transpiring on the global position for economic hegemony over the most countries. Whether or not the US remained on top is not my concern. My concern is, are we gonna make it past this decade?

the answer is no. This year alone already have so many escalations that could easily trigger World War... if this keep happening we are not gonna make it past 2030. Many will perish for sure
A rare Johhny article i vehemently disagree with. The BRICS currency is not realistic or close to coming to fruition (and many of the countries don't get alone), China's economic power is in decline as it's cost goes up and countries look internally after Covid, and their population is aging rapidly and will weaken both their economy and their military. Saying it's a new cold war is a glitzy headline, and China has gotten way stronger and more economically involved with it's neighbors the last 20 years, but saying they will truly compete with the United States in the near future is simply false and overlooking the reality of the situation
Hi Johnny , just to clarify , Brazil didn't sell 40mm anti aircraft ammunition , 5,56 automatic rifles , small arms ammunition and armored vehicles to Ukraine because by Brazil's constitution they can't sell arms to countries that are in war , Brazil is a neutral country as per it's constitution .
I'm a Cuban living in Cuba. The tight ties our current government has with Russia in the middle of the Ukraine war and the secret bargains and contracts being signed without the Cuban people's concern resemble to those in the worst and most dangerous moments of the cold war. The missiles crisis comes to my mind every time military generals visit each other's country, we don't really know what they are talking about. In addition, the Army celebrates the birth of the North Korean army with top North Korean leaders. I don't support any of that, and yet, I know I could pay the price.
As a Chinese person, I've never seen a more "passively subjective" video on China Vs. USA. I mean, there are channels that present very obviously which side they partake, and then there is this video, pretending to be objective while it is clearly Chinese sided. I think it's very false of you guys to imply that while what the west does is hypocritical (which I agree with), that China is supporting a system of independence. This is clearly not what we have witnessed throughout China's history as well as modern affairs.
@@thatamericangamer7230I think you may be misunderstanding the original post. They are saying the video is claiming to be objective but is actually biased towards China. China does not support a system of independence. This is shown throughout history and modern affairs.

12:56 The US Treasury secretary just prohibited/restricted US investments in Chinese entities in three sectors: semiconductors and microelectronics, quantum information technologies and certain artificial intelligence systems. Everything aligns perfectly, like clockwork.
Ideologically US and most of the non-aligned countries are very different. If US not only want them allied with them but also want them to follow all their ideologies, then China will definitely get the upper hand with transactional alliance based on benefits without any need to change their ideologies.
That's true, but there is a long game the US can look forward to. That is 'universal values', the values that will develop naturally as nations get more educated and wealthier. Unless these third world countries go down the path of North Korea, and strictly keep their people perpetually poor and uneducated. This is also brewing inside China and Russia as their educated Middle class are increasingly unhappy with how things are going. Brain drain and disloyalty from the middle class will hurt them bad.
@@isunlloaoll that's what it was thought about China when they got into the WTC, Chinese middle class is the biggest in the world and yet the party's power is stronger than ever
@Caxacate significant numbers of the educated Chinese middle class have already adopted universal values. Why do you think feminism is big in China right now? Why do you think the Chinese government cracks down on it? They might not be protesting on the streets on mass, facing bullets and tanks, but they also arent willing to die for the Chinese regime. Look at the "lie flat" and the "let it rot" movements inside China. These are all new sparks that the Chinese civilization never had before it came into contact with universal values. This is why the CCP has a firewall on its internet, why everything is heavily censored, and why they're pushing for internal circulation. They are afraid of their people awakening.
@@Caxacatethat’s because people living inside China actually enjoys low crime, no drug abuse, high speed trains, no homeless tent cities, and affordable healthcare and all made possible by their government. What reasons would they have to hate their government? Are people in the US happy with all the gun violence, carjackings, smash and grabs, tent cities, unaffordable healthcare, unaffordable rent, and inflation? Are we (I’m a US citizen) happy with our government?

Over 600 million Chinese have a 140 dollar a month income. That is low and way below the actual poverty line. Also, I’m surprised Johnny didn’t get into chinas crumbling demographics and that it is entering into a balance sheet deficit. Every metric of the CCP is in decline right now. Wake up dude.

Do we have to constantly think about things with a "war" mindset? China is pursuing its own economic interests but doesn't want to actually have a conflict with the US - and has stated so multiple times. From what I've seen, this "new cold war" language mainly comes from the US side. Are countries allowed to pursue economic projects independent from the US, without this being classified as being a "war"? I think people are willing a war into existence where there needn't be one.
That is exactly what this video was addressing because basically the US says if you do not follow my rules and my floss optical principles, you are waging war with me and that is where the issue comes into play and that is what they're trying to fall as a group
It was pretty much the US that created this "everything is a war" mindset. And as US economy needs to be based on sanctions, and an eventual new currency won't allow that, united states will have to fight that as their economic system will eventually collapse.
Love the way you tell stories man. Really inspires me. I hope that I can get as good at telling stories as you someday. I'm just about to launch my own animated channel finally. Very excited.
Great analysis. Just one thing to add. India isn't peaking sides not so that we can benefits from both China and US. Infact we are still military confrontation along the border area with China. So not planning to benefit from China at the very least. Now coming to our engagement with the US. India doesn't approach US so that we can get some aid like Pakistan. Infact we are the fastest growing economy this year. And due to our population size, we are to a large extent independent economically because our own consumer market can ensure economic growth. US India engagement is just because of the fact that we both have common rival and that will be China. So it pretty much serves mutual interest
Whilst I agree with your points on India not approaching the US for aid, it's far too simplistic atm to say that India is only engaging with the US for 'mutual interests'. There has been a slew of investment from American companies as of late, with billions of dollars to flow into the country. Whilst this is probably also to benefit the US, the 'de-risking' of US's dependence on China is leading to a great deal of advantages for India. The role of the Quad can't be understated as well. So yes, while India is looking after their own interests especially with China's looming presence, it's too simplistic to say that it's 'just because we have a common rival'. India and the US agree on many frontiers and it seems likely to grow in the near future.
Dude, this is such nonsense. Yes new cold war etc... but chinese economy is already collapsing after covid. From brics countries, only india is the one stable and growing, how is their alternative currency going to work? SA is literally a failed state, china and russia have quite few problems at this moment, also brazil is having their set of issues. India is relatively stable, brasil is relatively transparent at least but who would trust currecy controlled by russia, china and SA? The reason why US dollar is being used for global trading is, that it is trustworthy. The reason why russia uses dollar for trading is not because they love america so much, but because it works. All dollar monetary policies are very transparent and predictable - which can not be said about countries such as Russia, China or SA - where their monetary policies are both non transparent and also unpredictable. There is not going to be a time anytime soon where BRICS will have a successful currency until they will be able to make their finances transparent. Their monetary policies must be trustworthy before they will be able to have a currency that other countries trust. Yes dedolarisation is happening, but even british pound will be more likely to be a competitor than some BRICS alternative, at least until they manage to be transparent enough to build trust in their currency - which i can not see coming anytime soon from russia or china.

As a chilean, i'm glad to see the superpowers to fight each other on trade mainly. While the mayority of our history we depended on one foreign superpower (Spain during the colony, the UK in the 1800s, and the US in the 1900s), today we can trade with all the major actors, and progress and advance with liberty to trade with the ones we wish and decide to trade, regardless what the "superpower" at the moment can dictate.
It is very astute of you to recognize this. Your understanding of Chile's history paints a clear picture that the current world order is "the best it ever has been" for the majority of the Western and developing world. While this US has been overly aggressive in many places over the decades, the system that it upholds allows nations, that would not normally have a chance, to trade with one another.
@@tiagogomes3807 I think its important to point out that this wasn't the case in before WW1, Britain and the US maintained an exclusivity with trade in the Western hemisphere. However, this changed after WW2, where the US guaranteed open trade by patrolling the global oceans as part of its grand strategy to contain the Soviet Union. After the cold war this has been a status quo largely out of lack of vision on what to do next and a domestic politics that is allergic to any coercive foreign policy that doesn't show clear benefits to global security. Leaving this here in case someone thinks the US policy hasn't changed since Teddy Roosevelt.
It is essential to express opposition to China's naval expansion, given its primary objective of controlling the Taiwan Strait (and the South China Sea). As it's a vital waterway through which half of the world's global trade flows. This dominance could grant them the ability to block access to any country's trade at their discretion, endangering international commerce and sovereignty.
They are not talking about creating their own currency, as per vice president of the Development Bank. Also, loans through the belt and road initiatives are already like 60% failed. Italy is gonna withdraw this year and most countries aligning with BRICS right now are in default

Well researched, and the narrative is precise. Excellent editing makes it easy to follow. Despite the ongoing different views between the two superpowers and their respective agendas, everyone wants a peaceful world for our children and their children.
It has already been laid bare by the war in Ukraine war that Russia's military is not even close to superpower status. They have nukes but it is mutually assured destruction to use them and is nearly a moot point. We have been providing Ukraine our scrap and without putting a single boot on the ground, Russia is being defeated. They are using World War II era tanks and after a year and a half don't even have any substantial air superiority. Russia doesn't have a blue water navy and their airlift capability is lacking. We have the best blue water navy in the world and have the best airlift capability ever seen. We have bases all over the world which gives us a huge leg up. In no sense of the word is Russia a superpower, whether economically, militarily or technologically. What does Russia produce for the world that is of value? They have a lot of oil but what innovations do they create that help humanity? Russian women are lined up to marry American men so that they can come here and escape that backward, second rate country that is run by a tin pot dictator. All of the Chinese military which we hear so much about is stolen American technology that isn't being perfected like the way that we do it. China has an excellent area of denial capability, but we have a wartime reserve capability that hasn't been seen yet and hopefully won't be needed. Also, China doesn't have any recent combat experience which plays a huge role in military effectiveness. We have many decades worth of combat experience. We don't have a near peer adversary as we are meant to believe.
Cold war officially started at the winter olympics last year which occurred in China. Putin was invited as a special guest of honor and on the first day of the games, China and Russia issued a joint statement asking for multipolarity and offered worldwide nuclear peace treaty.

@johnny. Thank you for this video. I really appreciate your factual, non-biased POV on the state of the world and the rising competition between China and the US. One critique: when you overlay images over the map of the US, you typically show its people and its politicians. However when you overlayed images over the map of China, you more often only showed Xi, and his military. Might I suggest you also highlight the people and the society within China?
Just like DW when talking about western covid vaccine they showed scientists working at lab with fancy technology, but then its china and russia they showed us images of military soldiers, planes, tanks, and warships 😂😂😂😂
I think this conflict is going to be way more of an us vs them like it was in the Cold War. Russia and India will both play significant roles and both have very different ideologies than both the and China. Japan is also diverting from its past if it’s nature and many European countries have long since decolonized but are forming new relationships that include trade and diplomacy to their former colonies. It will be very interesting
I don’t think ideology is gonna matter much more in this new Cold War like it did in the previous one. If you notice, China and Russia have very different ideologies but similar interests (which will be the theme of the new Cold War). The US needs to stop forcing everyone to be democratic and start pursuing its national interests on a new level. If you want to be successful in this new Cold War, you need to focus on nationalism being the only theme in your country (so no globalism) and shared interests and objectives with your allies.
As a South African, we are much more culturally aligned with the West, however, economically, we are much more aligned with China. I can see future cooperation being along the lines of, "we support you guys in the West, but we can't afford to not support China in this matter." Also, regarding BRICS, most of us don't know or don't care much about this association, and it has potential to cause more pain than benefit in the short term by isolating us from the West, but could have long term benefits if the world order does shift.
That's sort of like how it is in New Zealand. Our government does side with the West on things like Ukraine, but we're importing tons of stuff like medical equipment, fertilizer and textiles from China so "picking a side" would be difficult because of this arrangement. It always seems that our government has been, not taking two steps forward and one step back but instead "spreading their legs" as the two sides drift apart.
Sorry. You need to stipulate "as a white South African". You must surely acknowledge that you have little understanding of how the *vast* majority of South African's align culturally.
@@Imbalanxdhow presumptuous of you they was no suggestion that they are white (although they may be) You attach race to thoughts if you have a independent thought that differs please feel free to share
I really love your modern history videos. This is my go-to channel for this kind of content, as every video is well made and high quality. Thanks for the awesome content!
Its a complicated order where one caveat is that bunch of countries not going along with the US does not equal them being together against the US. Its super easy for alliances on weak foundations to break and while countries like China and India may not necessarily like the US, it would be a shock if they get along with each other as well.
The issue with China is the heavy focus on nationalism. It's been difficult for them to make real allies because of that. For example, they refuse to concede on their South China Sea claim. And they are still in conflict with India over border disputes. Depending on how the Ukraine war goes, they may be less likely to be as nice to Russia
if you think, for one minute, that the VP of the US is "the problem" and not the scathing scumbag Republicans in the House and Senate that are literally holding up legislation out of spite; Than you are the reason why America is under the control of so few people in power. They literally outsmart you into voting for someone that will hurt you financially.
You should have mentioned one European country that also balances well between China and America, and that is Serbia. In Serbia, the Chinese are building a network of highways and high-speed railways.
I was just watching a video of Johnny's about Mormonism, and in the middle of it it switched to a different video. When I tried to go back and find the video that I was watching, I couldn't. Was the video deleted while I was watching it??
I am an Indian who watches all of the videos uploaded in the Johnny Harris YT channel and I really appreciate your work and strive for bringing out real world issues and wars we never see in news tabloids. But whenever it comes to Geopolitics videos, we always see China and USA and Russia behind China. But there is not a single one of your 239 videos solely dedicated to the country of India, the world's fastest growing country in the world. Under the leadership of PM Modi, India is rapidly improving infra, and the world's largest start-up ecosystem, along with massive software companies like Infosys and TCS based in more than 50 countries. Many westerners have an impression of India as a poor and very cheap country, basically a bad impression, But under BJP (ruling party), we are soon going to pass Germany and Japan to be the third largest economy with a gdp of 10 trillion by 2030. I really want you to write this tremendous success story in a positive way to change India's image among the western world, and India is actually portrayed as the major leader and representative of the global south. @JohnnyHarris
Trust me, as a European, no one is seeing India as a poor country. We generally have a really good postive view of India. Would be nice to have a video tho, since I would like to learn more about India!
Yea no one really sees India as a poor country anymore. No offense but the amount of Indians coming to America and having entire neighborhoods in the south is crazy! They live lavishly and people consider them smart. But I would love a video on Indias tremendous growth & economy.
delusional nationalist,modi has ravaged the Indian economy by excess taxation on the middle class and only helped his billionaire friends like Adani. World's largest startup ecosystem are in usa and china,who said it is in India?
Regarding India, they’re leveraged by Russia due to previously purchasing military equipment that only Russia has replacement parts for. If India cuts off Russia, Russia stops sending India the parts needed to maintain things such as parts for their fighter jets. This puts India in the predicament that could be exploited by China and Pakistan who already have border conflicts with this country.
That's why India started building own weapons and some how signing MoUs with different countries for technology. Like US just gave jet engine technology for fighter jets. It gonna replace Mig 21 soon with indigenous fighter jet.
India Russia partnership is much much deeper than weapons. It's not about weapons alone. However, as far as future is concerned. India-Russia relationship is not in good shape. India needs USA and Russia needs China.
So China chose to regulate the Internet and not be induced by rumors. LGBT on the surface is for human rights, in fact, the United States to break the traditional cultural cognitive psychology brought by new immigrants, while destroying the traditional education of other civilized countries, after all civilization and culture are destroyed, it is easier to control the mind, a video can make people believe that a country that has not been at war for 40 years is an aggressor
Hot take: the sponsored segments are a complete buzzkill. I was totally onboard and engaged with the video, the exposition, the artwork, sound design, the visual eye candy; up until the sly transition into the advertisement. Don't get me wrong, I understand the financial dynamics involved with producing high quality content, but there are other ways. Do channels this large not earn enough through ad revenue and supporter donations (Patreon)? I just feel like the uncanny plug of a sponsor is not in line with the quality or value of the content you are producing. It's somewhat antithetical to the philosophy of the art form, in my personal and somewhat jaded opinion. I say drop the ad segments and explore other avenues for revenue generation (or at the very least, just plug your own merch line/online store, preferably at the end of the video). The result will be a much less adulterated form of creative expression, higher audience retention, and more respect from your viewers. I'll totally understand if you and your team feel the need to delete this comment due to its perceived negativity, but at least someone will have read it. Cheers to you and your talented team.
All this epistle would have made sense if you actually sponsored the video. But you can’t, cause you broke.😂 so don’t chat to him about how to get his bag up if you won’t do it for him
@@DejiNova I did sponsor the video; by clicking on it and watching it. I can't speak directly for Johnny, but I think its safe to assume to he appreciates everyone who spends their time consuming his content, thereby generating ad revenue for his channel.

Great video! I’d love to see an extended video about global alliances and how they’ve evolved over the last three centuries, including more about BRICS. You are doing really great work, thank you!

Great video! I especially love the animation in this video. Whit such a complex topic this would be way harder to absorb (and less entertaining) without the pedagogical animations! I noticed that Sweden was categorized as a neutral country. I would like to ad that Sweden is far from a neutral country in this conflict. We were (at least in theory) a neutral country up until recently. But Sweden is heavily influenced by European policy, have openly been criticizing the BRICS countries for years as well as supporting Ukraine both military and economically in recent times. Our upcoming NATO membership is just the final step that puts our “neutrality” to rest. We have now sided, also in practice. And the first video on SP was awesome btw!!
All wars are fought over resources. Long story short, if war is cheaper than trade then war becomes a likely outcome. Mankind will only work together if we find aliens to go to war against; especially if they find us first.
TH-cam has made the word journalism a joke. Call yourself a youtube opinion and that’s perfectly respectable. Journalism is actually a big word, it involves a lot of study and authenticity. One key thing is just like science, journalism is about checking your ideas and opinions with other journalists in professional environment. Where as any guy with a table and webcam calls themselves journalist these days.
Very good video. It’s scary when the “big names” we throw at the problem are all seemingly incompetent though. We lose our place as global currency and we are in deep trouble. Our most recent regime changes seem to be for sport, which really could motivate other countries if you think about it.
Once you started imposing your ideology on others it was the beginning of the end. History has taught that since the beginning of time, once you force others into something, it’s a matter of time before you see the people you forced revolt against you. Even if people don’t like China, it’s the lesser evil and people will gladly switch sides.
No body wants to take on the global currency because no one wants to run budget deficits. If china were to run budget deficits, their manufacturing would be lost and hold no value. They don’t want to lose that. The dollar, for now, is safe.

Hey man, loved the presentation style and storytelling. Quite engaging. But there’s still a long way to go for it to be called a “journalistic piece” imho. For eg. the Chinese debt trap narrative has been debunked quite comprehensively by a lot of researchers and nations themselves. Or for eg. when you say india is buying half its oil and weapons from Russia, it comes across as if that is a result of the war. But in fact Russia - India relations go all the way back to India’s independence and the reason India trades with Russia is because the west had sanctioned India for the most part of history. There’s more like this. But I’d say these details matter more than the presentation style. You guys have already nailed that.
He didn't exactly use the word debt trap, to be fair. And also, it's not entirely false to say China will use the debt as leverage, but what is missing is that western countries have done that for decades. IMF have plenty of loans, US using the monetary system and financial system has control over most of the world (SWIFT banking, for example that they kicked Russia out of). These are all leverages
After everything we as a species have been through in the last 100 years, with all the different wars and conflicts that took millions of lives and created millions of refugees. You would think that we can learn from everything that has happened, but no... history just keeps repeating itself. What the heck is wrong with us? Seems like we are just destined to keep destroying ourselves again and again. 🤔
So long we spiral into oppressive mindsets like Russia where mistrust, stealing and oppression of others is commonplace.. There will always be another individual seeking world conquest.
Humans are a selfish species with pride and egos. Some of us are good but we are forced to coexist with people who lack moral values. So it isn't surprising we are like this.

Why you call Mosaddegh government in Iran, a democratically elected…?
It wasn’t… he was a prime minister selected by the Emperor of Iran and was kicked out by him according to the constitution of Iran then…But Mosaddegh tried to stage a coup against the shah with the help of clergy and USSR that was initially successful but after the coup he dismantled the parliament and the judiciary and wanted to start his own dictatorship that with the help of the US money, all the same clergy that initially supported him, all the members of parliament, the generals that didn’t want him as their new leader, and judges, he was kicked out eventually…!!
In the Iranian constitution of the time, Shah selects and kicks out the prime ministers not election..!!
Mosaddegh himself was against the elections since the constitutional revolution during the dynasty before Pahlavi…

When one loses blood, the first one to be sucked is an ally. Even rabbits won't eat the grass next to their nest. It seems that some people have no intention of considering it for a long time
Honestly, as a Russian, I am very skeptical of this and believe that this 'New cold war' topic is inflated. I mean, the world is too globalized and interdependent right now. In the real cold war time, there was virtually no trade and closed borders between two blocks and now more than half of China's trade is with the West and vice versa. Every political move discussed is in my view hypocritical, since everyone keeps trading with everyone regardless of these 'alliances'. And that Brics are developing a new currency is just laughable, they aren't even an alliance (SA's president was to arrest Putin if he comes)
Even in the original cold war there was some trade and relations between the blocks. Maybe not for the people, but for the governments and the powerful at least. The interdependency is keeping things from collapsing, but we see in the last years that the new blocks are trying to cut this dependency. But at the end of the day, global politics is just the result of thousands of small decision by people with conflicting interests, who will cooperate for some time if it helps them all.
Has someone got balls to arrest Putin?😂😂
Too right. The idea BRICS could compete with the G7 is complete delusion. China and India being best friends, South Africa a growing economy. Lol next joke
As long as China and Russia lose, I'm fine with whatever order.
Also from ideological point of view, China or Russia don't provide any solid and self-sufficient ideology or vision of better future as Soviet Union did. Economic growth of these countries was nurtured and empowered by the West, and politically China and Russia are way too corrupt and unripe compared to Western Democracies. Thus, to call it a new bipolar world is exaggerated. Most countries still see democracy as their ideal and only lean towards the East in some specific matters.

We’ve been in a new Cold War for several years at this point. Considering trade wars and militarization of the South China Sea, things could and likely will get significantly more serious. The Cold War with the USSR has a debated start date, and this one will too when we look back on it.

8:00 BRICS is not some rival to the West or NATO. To make a single currency or military alliance between such disparate far-flung countries would take a lot more unity and mutual co-operation than these states are capable of. The EU is geographically and culturally linked through their proximity to one another and even they haven't managed to spread the Euro to all members, or establish a formal alliance that isn't NATO. China and India are always skirmishing over their border, Russia's a global pariah, and South Africa is nearly a failed state that recently threatened to arrest Putin if he stopped by for the BRICS summit.

this is such a nuanced take- so often we see china being portrayed as something of an aggressor but seeing it from a more neutral perspective you can kinda see why they view the west as hypocritical
Yeah china hasn’t been aggressive compared to any other world power since they came into power really. The only things that come to mind of them sending troops to other places: Korean War, invasion of Tibet and the sino-Vietnamese war. One of which also had American troops, and they have also invaded Vietnam. And China haven’t invaded Iraq, Libya and Afghanistan
while China is being the biggest hypocrite. I cannot agree more. What China is portraying as a global peace maker, but in fact its policies is straight out imperialism while the US is at the very least keeping a façade of capitalism. While claim to be a non-aggressor to the world, it has been threatening Taiwan for decades. I guess your neutral perspective is more of a copium sadly.

A rare Johhny article i vehemently disagree with. The BRICS currency is not realistic or close to coming to fruition (and many of the countries don't get alone), China's economic power is in decline as it's cost goes up and countries look internally after Covid, and their population is aging rapidly and will weaken both their economy and their military. Saying it's a new cold war is a glitzy headline, and China has gotten way stronger and more economically involved with it's neighbors the last 20 years, but saying they will truly compete with the United States in the near future is simply false and overlooking the reality of the situation
Hi Johnny , just to clarify , Brazil didn't sell 40mm anti aircraft ammunition , 5,56 automatic rifles , small arms ammunition and armored vehicles to Ukraine because by Brazil's constitution they can't sell arms to countries that are in war , Brazil is a neutral country as per it's constitution .
I'm a Cuban living in Cuba. The tight ties our current government has with Russia in the middle of the Ukraine war and the secret bargains and contracts being signed without the Cuban people's concern resemble to those in the worst and most dangerous moments of the cold war. The missiles crisis comes to my mind every time military generals visit each other's country, we don't really know what they are talking about. In addition, the Army celebrates the birth of the North Korean army with top North Korean leaders. I don't support any of that, and yet, I know I could pay the price.

As a Chinese person, I've never seen a more "passively subjective" video on China Vs. USA. I mean, there are channels that present very obviously which side they partake, and then there is this video, pretending to be objective while it is clearly Chinese sided. I think it's very false of you guys to imply that while what the west does is hypocritical (which I agree with), that China is supporting a system of independence. This is clearly not what we have witnessed throughout China's history as well as modern affairs.

Ideologically US and most of the non-aligned countries are very different. If US not only want them allied with them but also want them to follow all their ideologies, then China will definitely get the upper hand with transactional alliance based on benefits without any need to change their ideologies.
That's true, but there is a long game the US can look forward to. That is 'universal values', the values that will develop naturally as nations get more educated and wealthier. Unless these third world countries go down the path of North Korea, and strictly keep their people perpetually poor and uneducated. This is also brewing inside China and Russia as their educated Middle class are increasingly unhappy with how things are going. Brain drain and disloyalty from the middle class will hurt them bad.
@@isunlloaoll that's what it was thought about China when they got into the WTC, Chinese middle class is the biggest in the world and yet the party's power is stronger than ever

Why do you think the Chinese government cracks down on it? They might not be protesting on the streets on mass, facing bullets and tanks, but they also arent willing to die for the Chinese regime. Look at the "lie flat" and the "let it rot" movements inside China. These are all new sparks that the Chinese civilization never had before it came into contact with universal values. This is why the CCP has a firewall on its internet, why everything is heavily censored, and why they're pushing for internal circulation. They are afraid of their people awakening.
@@Caxacatethat’s because people living inside China actually enjoys low crime, no drug abuse, high speed trains, no homeless tent cities, and affordable healthcare and all made possible by their government. What reasons would they have to hate their government? Are people in the US happy with all the gun violence, carjackings, smash and grabs, tent cities, unaffordable healthcare, unaffordable rent, and inflation? Are we (I’m a US citizen) happy with our government?
@@Caxacate over 20 percent unemployment for the 16-24 age group and a nose diving economy. Plus, debt to gdp ratio is out of control and that doesn’t even get into consumer debt.

Do we have to constantly think about things with a "war" mindset? China is pursuing its own economic interests but doesn't want to actually have a conflict with the US - and has stated so multiple times. From what I've seen, this "new cold war" language mainly comes from the US side. Are countries allowed to pursue economic projects independent from the US, without this being classified as being a "war"? I think people are willing a war into existence where there needn't be one.
The US wants to remain on top and will persecute anyone Who threatens The US empire just by growing and choosing to play by its own rules
That is exactly what this video was addressing because basically the US says if you do not follow my rules and my floss optical principles, you are waging war with me and that is where the issue comes into play and that is what they're trying to fall as a group
It was pretty much the US that created this "everything is a war" mindset. And as US economy needs to be based on sanctions, and an eventual new currency won't allow that, united states will have to fight that as their economic system will eventually collapse.
That’s the point. They’re not if it replaces the US dollar

Great analysis. Just one thing to add. India isn't peaking sides not so that we can benefits from both China and US. Infact we are still military confrontation along the border area with China. So not planning to benefit from China at the very least.
Now coming to our engagement with the US. India doesn't approach US so that we can get some aid like Pakistan. Infact we are the fastest growing economy this year. And due to our population size, we are to a large extent independent economically because our own consumer market can ensure economic growth.
US India engagement is just because of the fact that we both have common rival and that will be China. So it pretty much serves mutual interest
India is not the fastest growing economy. India's 5% gdp growth rate is still much lower than China or US's 4% gdp growth rate.
@dodododododododo8216 Keep yourself updated with latest data.
Jai Shree Ram❤
Yeah and also QUAD
Whilst I agree with your points on India not approaching the US for aid, it's far too simplistic atm to say that India is only engaging with the US for 'mutual interests'. There has been a slew of investment from American companies as of late, with billions of dollars to flow into the country. Whilst this is probably also to benefit the US, the 'de-risking' of US's dependence on China is leading to a great deal of advantages for India. The role of the Quad can't be understated as well. So yes, while India is looking after their own interests especially with China's looming presence, it's too simplistic to say that it's 'just because we have a common rival'. India and the US agree on many frontiers and it seems likely to grow in the near future.

Dude, this is such nonsense. Yes new cold war etc... but chinese economy is already collapsing after covid. From brics countries, only india is the one stable and growing, how is their alternative currency going to work? SA is literally a failed state, china and russia have quite few problems at this moment, also brazil is having their set of issues. India is relatively stable, brasil is relatively transparent at least but who would trust currecy controlled by russia, china and SA?
The reason why US dollar is being used for global trading is, that it is trustworthy. The reason why russia uses dollar for trading is not because they love america so much, but because it works. All dollar monetary policies are very transparent and predictable - which can not be said about countries such as Russia, China or SA - where their monetary policies are both non transparent and also unpredictable.
There is not going to be a time anytime soon where BRICS will have a successful currency until they will be able to make their finances transparent. Their monetary policies must be trustworthy before they will be able to have a currency that other countries trust. Yes dedolarisation is happening, but even british pound will be more likely to be a competitor than some BRICS alternative, at least until they manage to be transparent enough to build trust in their currency - which i can not see coming anytime soon from russia or china.
Actually the rise of the American empire did not lead to a reduction in global poverty. It led to an increase in GDP a metric that does not reflect poverty levels. Poverty levels have actually been rising for the last 100 years

As a chilean, i'm glad to see the superpowers to fight each other on trade mainly. While the mayority of our history we depended on one foreign superpower (Spain during the colony, the UK in the 1800s, and the US in the 1900s), today we can trade with all the major actors, and progress and advance with liberty to trade with the ones we wish and decide to trade, regardless what the "superpower" at the moment can dictate.
It is very astute of you to recognize this. Your understanding of Chile's history paints a clear picture that the current world order is "the best it ever has been" for the majority of the Western and developing world.
While this US has been overly aggressive in many places over the decades, the system that it upholds allows nations, that would not normally have a chance, to trade with one another.
You are seeing it completely wrong.
Its the American power who allows you to trade freely with anyone you want.
@@tiagogomes3807 I think its important to point out that this wasn't the case in before WW1, Britain and the US maintained an exclusivity with trade in the Western hemisphere. However, this changed after WW2, where the US guaranteed open trade by patrolling the global oceans as part of its grand strategy to contain the Soviet Union. After the cold war this has been a status quo largely out of lack of vision on what to do next and a domestic politics that is allergic to any coercive foreign policy that doesn't show clear benefits to global security. Leaving this here in case someone thinks the US policy hasn't changed since Teddy Roosevelt.

It has already been laid bare by the war in Ukraine war that Russia's military is not even close to superpower status. They have nukes but it is mutually assured destruction to use them and is nearly a moot point. We have been providing Ukraine our scrap and without putting a single boot on the ground, Russia is being defeated. They are using World War II era tanks and after a year and a half don't even have any substantial air superiority. Russia doesn't have a blue water navy and their airlift capability is lacking. We have the best blue water navy in the world and have the best airlift capability ever seen. We have bases all over the world which gives us a huge leg up. In no sense of the word is Russia a superpower, whether economically, militarily or technologically. What does Russia produce for the world that is of value? They have a lot of oil but what innovations do they create that help humanity? Russian women are lined up to marry American men so that they can come here and escape that backward, second rate country that is run by a tin pot dictator.
All of the Chinese military which we hear so much about is stolen American technology that isn't being perfected like the way that we do it. China has an excellent area of denial capability, but we have a wartime reserve capability that hasn't been seen yet and hopefully won't be needed. Also, China doesn't have any recent combat experience which plays a huge role in military effectiveness. We have many decades worth of combat experience. We don't have a near peer adversary as we are meant to believe.

However when you overlayed images over the map of China, you more often only showed Xi, and his military. Might I suggest you also highlight the people and the society within China?

I think this conflict is going to be way more of an us vs them like it was in the Cold War. Russia and India will both play significant roles and both have very different ideologies than both the and China. Japan is also diverting from its past if it’s nature and many European countries have long since decolonized but are forming new relationships that include trade and diplomacy to their former colonies. It will be very interesting
I don’t think ideology is gonna matter much more in this new Cold War like it did in the previous one. If you notice, China and Russia have very different ideologies but similar interests (which will be the theme of the new Cold War). The US needs to stop forcing everyone to be democratic and start pursuing its national interests on a new level. If you want to be successful in this new Cold War, you need to focus on nationalism being the only theme in your country (so no globalism) and shared interests and objectives with your allies.

As a South African, we are much more culturally aligned with the West, however, economically, we are much more aligned with China. I can see future cooperation being along the lines of, "we support you guys in the West, but we can't afford to not support China in this matter." Also, regarding BRICS, most of us don't know or don't care much about this association, and it has potential to cause more pain than benefit in the short term by isolating us from the West, but could have long term benefits if the world order does shift.

That's sort of like how it is in New Zealand.

Its a complicated order where one caveat is that bunch of countries not going along with the US does not equal them being together against the US. Its super easy for alliances on weak foundations to break and while countries like China and India may not necessarily like the US, it would be a shock if they get along with each other as well.
The issue with China is the heavy focus on nationalism. It's been difficult for them to make real allies because of that. For example, they refuse to concede on their South China Sea claim. And they are still in conflict with India over border disputes. Depending on how the Ukraine war goes, they may be less likely to be as nice to Russia

You should have mentioned one European country that also balances well between China and America, and that is Serbia. In Serbia, the Chinese are building a network of highways and high-speed railways.
Kosovo is Albania
Other countries like Hungary and Montenegro also does that. Even France’s Macron said publicly he doesn’t want to get involved in a US-China clash.
@@capitalm6438What?
New Zealand also does this. Our economy is dependent on China, our biggest exporter, while the US has been a subtle ally since WW2
And... Serbia matters why?
It’s crazy how the people who are fighting to control the world have never even fought for their own country or even their right to speak
I was just watching a video of Johnny's about Mormonism, and in the middle of it it switched to a different video. When I tried to go back and find the video that I was watching, I couldn't. Was the video deleted while I was watching it??
Very well summarised and beautifully visualised! I've been waiting for an awesome video like this about China for years!
I am an Indian who watches all of the videos uploaded in the Johnny Harris YT channel and I really appreciate your work and strive for bringing out real world issues and wars we never see in news tabloids. But whenever it comes to Geopolitics videos, we always see China and USA and Russia behind China. But there is not a single one of your 239 videos solely dedicated to the country of India, the world's fastest growing country in the world. Under the leadership of PM Modi, India is rapidly improving infra, and the world's largest start-up ecosystem, along with massive software companies like Infosys and TCS based in more than 50 countries. Many westerners have an impression of India as a poor and very cheap country, basically a bad impression, But under BJP (ruling party), we are soon going to pass Germany and Japan to be the third largest economy with a gdp of 10 trillion by 2030. I really want you to write this tremendous success story in a positive way to change India's image among the western world, and India is actually portrayed as the major leader and representative of the global south.
@JohnnyHarris
Trust me, as a European, no one is seeing India as a poor country. We generally have a really good postive view of India. Would be nice to have a video tho, since I would like to learn more about India!
Yea no one really sees India as a poor country anymore. No offense but the amount of Indians coming to America and having entire neighborhoods in the south is crazy! They live lavishly and people consider them smart. But I would love a video on Indias tremendous growth & economy.
I mean, you could make your own video about that. Yes, the audience is not gonna be huge but you gotta start somewhere.
delusional nationalist,modi has ravaged the Indian economy by excess taxation on the middle class and only helped his billionaire friends like Adani. World's largest startup ecosystem are in usa and china,who said it is in India?
Godi media pe dekhle bhai tareef hi sunn ni hai toh, ab Western TH-camrs ko b majboor karega kya?
Regarding India, they’re leveraged by Russia due to previously purchasing military equipment that only Russia has replacement parts for. If India cuts off Russia, Russia stops sending India the parts needed to maintain things such as parts for their fighter jets. This puts India in the predicament that could be exploited by China and Pakistan who already have border conflicts with this country.
That's why India started building own weapons and some how signing MoUs with different countries for technology. Like US just gave jet engine technology for fighter jets. It gonna replace Mig 21 soon with indigenous fighter jet.
India Russia partnership is much much deeper than weapons. It's not about weapons alone. However, as far as future is concerned. India-Russia relationship is not in good shape. India needs USA and Russia needs China.
I absolutely love the animation and entertaining tone of video despite the topic of it. Just appreciate your work on your videos, man👏
Don’t forget the psychological war on the internet aimed at all of us.
So China chose to regulate the Internet and not be induced by rumors. LGBT on the surface is for human rights, in fact, the United States to break the traditional cultural cognitive psychology brought by new immigrants, while destroying the traditional education of other civilized countries, after all civilization and culture are destroyed, it is easier to control the mind, a video can make people believe that a country that has not been at war for 40 years is an aggressor
yup. put your phone down for a week and youll feel the difference right away
Hot take: the sponsored segments are a complete buzzkill. I was totally onboard and engaged with the video, the exposition, the artwork, sound design, the visual eye candy; up until the sly transition into the advertisement. Don't get me wrong, I understand the financial dynamics involved with producing high quality content, but there are other ways.
Do channels this large not earn enough through ad revenue and supporter donations (Patreon)?
I just feel like the uncanny plug of a sponsor is not in line with the quality or value of the content you are producing. It's somewhat antithetical to the philosophy of the art form, in my personal and somewhat jaded opinion.
I say drop the ad segments and explore other avenues for revenue generation (or at the very least, just plug your own merch line/online store, preferably at the end of the video).
The result will be a much less adulterated form of creative expression, higher audience retention, and more respect from your viewers.
I'll totally understand if you and your team feel the need to delete this comment due to its perceived negativity, but at least someone will have read it.
Cheers to you and your talented team.
All this epistle would have made sense if you actually sponsored the video. But you can’t, cause you broke.😂 so don’t chat to him about how to get his bag up if you won’t do it for him
@@DejiNova I did sponsor the video; by clicking on it and watching it. I can't speak directly for Johnny, but I think its safe to assume to he appreciates everyone who spends their time consuming his content, thereby generating ad revenue for his channel. Did you think creators were doing us favors by uploading content to this platform? TH-cam is a buyer's market.
Great video!
I’d love to see an extended video about global alliances and how they’ve evolved over the last three centuries, including more about BRICS.
You are doing really great work, thank you! I’ve been talking to family and loved ones about your channel. Encouraging them to watch your content instead of the nightly “news.” Much more reliable, informative, and thought provoking. Thanks for all you do!
Where's the Mormon video 😮 something sinister is happening
What was the video about?
I know you are not a fan Johnny, but long live the West. For all its errors and taking account the skeletons in its closet, it is objectively the greatest place to live in the world. And you reading this know it even if you won't admit it
eat the bug
The west have more crime rate than most country in asia,political correctness and multiculturalism also have damaging western society
@@Neldonax That's Global South behavior actually 👀

Great video! I especially love the animation in this video. Whit such a complex topic this would be way harder to absorb (and less entertaining) without the pedagogical animations!
I noticed that Sweden was categorized as a neutral country. I would like to ad that Sweden is far from a neutral country in this conflict. We were (at least in theory) a neutral country up until recently. But Sweden is heavily influenced by European policy, have openly been criticizing the BRICS countries for years as well as supporting Ukraine both military and economically in recent times. Our upcoming NATO membership is just the final step that puts our “neutrality” to rest. We have now sided, also in practice.
And the first video on SP was awesome btw!!
Korrekt! 👏
Sweden was neutral with COVID-19, but decided in 2021 they were gonna lockdown people and shops as well.
I hope we all make it, there's no reason any country has to lose when we can all win
All wars are fought over resources. Long story short, if war is cheaper than trade then war becomes a likely outcome. Mankind will only work together if we find aliens to go to war against; especially if they find us first.
TH-cam has made the word journalism a joke. Call yourself a youtube opinion and that’s perfectly respectable. Journalism is actually a big word, it involves a lot of study and authenticity. One key thing is just like science, journalism is about checking your ideas and opinions with other journalists in professional environment. Where as any guy with a table and webcam calls themselves journalist these days.
Us citizens of the world need to eliminate our “leaders” who could care less about us. Just who do they think they are.
Very good video. It’s scary when the “big names” we throw at the problem are all seemingly incompetent though. We lose our place as global currency and we are in deep trouble. Our most recent regime changes seem to be for sport, which really could motivate other countries if you think about it.
He's from big media. Fear mongering and pretending to predict the future is his tool to get views. Go touch grass
you already ended up in deep trouble as soon as your politicians abandoned the founding principles.
Once you started imposing your ideology on others it was the beginning of the end. History has taught that since the beginning of time, once you force others into something, it’s a matter of time before you see the people you forced revolt against you. Even if people don’t like China, it’s the lesser evil and people will gladly switch sides.
No body wants to take on the global currency because no one wants to run budget deficits. If china were to run budget deficits, their manufacturing would be lost and hold no value. They don’t want to lose that. The dollar, for now, is safe.
@@aurele2 sadly people actually think America is a democracy. the founding fathers would be rolling in there graves right now if they saw what was happening, we are a constitutional republic.
I just hope my country (New Zealand) can be the voice of reason and ensure peace continues between the bigger countries. War does not benefit anyone, except the military industrial complex.
bro the majority of people forget to even out new Zealand on a map. it's not gonna end this cold war
War benefits the aggressor when they think their opponent is weak. They see Democracy as weak. I think you should get ready for you and your children to spend most of their years in uniform.
So, maybe, NZ could be ONE OF the voices of reason - together, at example, with Italy and EU - and ensure for peacekeeping.
@@alessiocallegari1924 yes definitely we are stronger together than alone
I somehow feel like Australia is like the middle child in this scenario

Hey man, loved the presentation style and storytelling. Quite engaging. But there’s still a long way to go for it to be called a “journalistic piece” imho. For eg. the Chinese debt trap narrative has been debunked quite comprehensively by a lot of researchers and nations themselves. Or for eg. when you say india is buying half its oil and weapons from Russia, it comes across as if that is a result of the war. But in fact Russia - India relations go all the way back to India’s independence and the reason India trades with Russia is because the west had sanctioned India for the most part of history. There’s more like this. But I’d say these details matter more than the presentation style. You guys have already nailed that.
He didn't exactly use the word debt trap, to be fair. And also, it's not entirely false to say China will use the debt as leverage, but what is missing is that western countries have done that for decades. IMF have plenty of loans, US using the monetary system and financial system has control over most of the world (SWIFT banking, for example that they kicked Russia out of). These are all leverages
After everything we as a species have been through in the last 100 years, with all the different wars and conflicts that took millions of lives and created millions of refugees. You would think that we can learn from everything that has happened, but no... history just keeps repeating itself. What the heck is wrong with us? Seems like we are just destined to keep destroying ourselves again and again. 🤔
So long we spiral into oppressive mindsets like Russia where mistrust, stealing and oppression of others is commonplace.. There will always be another individual seeking world conquest.
Humans are a selfish species with pride and egos. Some of us are good but we are forced to coexist with people who lack moral values. So it isn't surprising we are like this.
“There are two ways to conquer and enslave a nation. One is by the sword. The other is by debt.”
― John Adams 1826
The Mormon vid is still on Nebula if you guys have that.
Do you think he moved it to be a nebula exclusive?
If I had to guess I recon it got copyright striked by LDS for the clips he used. It will probably get reuploaded to YT with those clips edited out.
