Its sad my phone has been to more countries than me.
I think it's kinda amazing. No one has to be a world traveler to be able to get their hands on some of the most useful material goods the world has to offer.
@@MrRyanholder It goes to show how dominate humanity is over this planet. Be that a good or a bad thing. I can talk to someone on the other side of the globe within seconds.
@@jaridkeen123 What about my statement makes you think I think people shouldn't have the freedom of movement?
@@jaridkeen123 Lol i see the communism in your comment, but our world won't change to this system in the next decades. It's just not possible that everyone can do what they want because we in the first world would have to lower our standard of living and that will definitely not happen.
I think you misunderstood you both make valid points why the internet is amazing but at the same time we spend our lives staring into a screen would you not rather be out seeing the beauty of the world or just seeing it projected through a screen in your room
Wow, that plan to nuke a canal through Israel has got to be the most American thing I've ever heard of. Super fascinating explainer!!
Read my name
I just watched your video about the Suez canal. :)
Am surprised why you not verified?🥺
you should be
Lol Imma big fan.third btw
how tf are you still unverified with over 4 million subs
Johnny must have had this video ready and just waited for the Suez canal to be in the news because this is too good
Good editing and putting pieces together takes time. Collecting materials , research, video editing. You can’t just run a camera and yak away.
jajaja true

No he had this video after he Quit at Vox And i love this guys works

"and the US sent in this Canadian guy" damn Canada keeps getting glossed over 😔 he won a nobel prize for that
Also that “Canadian guy” is Canada’s former Prime Minister...
@A. Null Lou Bricant as a Canadian, agreed. This is how we got our 'Your'e all so nice!" shtick. While this was going on, we were also murdering and r**ing Indigenous people and women left right and centre. placing them in 'schools' .... ya not very nice... very hush hush
He does it often. In another video, he mentioned a German guy that had maybe the most significant invention of all time (his words) FERTILIZER. But he never bothered to mention his name. In the Guano video.
Jews didnt attack or invade. They were attacked by Arab coalition and won in 1967.

@@maazkalim ?
spanish speakers who follow the six continent model with the Americas combined as a single continent called America wich is totally not the US: ._.XD
@@mauriciomontiel280 Well I grew up being taught 7 continents. America (in English) is generally referring to the country USA. North and South America are seperate continents at least that's what I believe
@@GhostRider-jk4eo yes, I know in the english speaking countries people are taught that, I was told there´s only one continent called "América" but I realized that it might just be a supercontinent with North and South America being the actual continents
But it is true that the US got "America" from the continent, since they got independence earlier I guess they declare themselves the US of A, they brittish probably refer to their colonies in North America as "America". Th spanish also called their colonies "América" but we got independence with our own names
As an Egyptian, this is mind blowing and explains so many things going on in Egypt right now.. Hats off 🎩
like what?
(really interested to know)
Like what do you mean by "going on in Egypt"? Because I am in Egypt and everything is going fine to me😐
@@Idk-wm6gk also one more thing, you know my friend that the government has a grip on the media thus, everything is always fine, consider reading some foreign newspapers (with a grain of salt obviously), because things are never really "just fine" not here and not anywhere else (ok maybe Switzerland)
@@johnadams4486 will that's how you survive look at Israel their neighbor with how the Mossad assassinated more than 3500 targets and media says every single one is hero and necessary to piece that's how those people in the Middle East maintain their "peace"

Johnny: We live in peace.
Me, a neutral Swiss: Your country is literally At. War.
The US? Are you talking about Afghanistan?
@Ravin Obama took the 2 wars that Bush bequeathed him and turned it into 7.
Sure, congress hasn't 'DECLARED' war but the war powers have been taken away from Congress and they are happy about that. They don't want that anymore because they don't want the accountability.
We are at war in Afghanistan, we are bombing in Syria, we are assisting Saudi Arabia with their genocidal treatment of Yemen, we assist Israel with their ongoing war with Palestine..... Need I go on to Central and South America?
You were also neutral and actively trading with the Nazi's while my people were killed in death camps (and stole our wealth after the fact), sometimes neutrality is cowardice :)
@@ayylmao2190 I am by no means meaning to defend what happened (especially after the war, there is absolutely no excuse for that), but most countries that were in the war were not in it "for noble reasons" they were either directly attacked or allied with those who were (which includes America which gets so much credit for joining 3 years into the war after being attacked at Pearl Harbour). Would it have been the noble and right thing to do to actively fight the Germans? Absolutely. Would it have resulted in a lot of Swiss people dying and probably very little impact on Germany? I expect so, though I am no historian by any means, so I will gladly take criticism in that regard. And semi-related and part of why I am not 100% sure of my statement, I will absolutely agree that my school system somewhat failed me and I think we could have dug deeper into our past, though that is hardly a Swiss-specific issue...
And just for context, my original comment was mostly meant satirically in relation to the fact that an American of all people would talk about living in peace and less about what the Swiss did and didn't do.
@@CamCamCamCamCamCamCamCamCammmm My point was that neutrality isnt de-facto good. Many Europeans love to hate it but some of our nations interventions have been positive (Korea, Bosnia, Kuwait). Compared to world history we certainly do live in an era of peace.
Also, if you were to ask, most Afghani's actually want us to somewhat stay to deter the Taliban. Funnily enough, Biden's withdraw has been an unmitigated disaster on that front. So the narrative of everything we is bad doesnt hold up in that regard either.
Has johnny harris actually uploaded twice in 2 days? This is a good week seriously
thanks comrade
Yo what's up lenin
@Justin Y. ew fake justin y gulag for u
I was doubting whether this was an april fool video or not.

Fun fact: The Suez Canal wasnt the first canal between the Mediterranean and the Red Sea, ancient Egypt dug out a canal between Suez and the Nile known as the Canal of the Pharaohs, which was the inspiration for the canal. First found by Napoleon after ancient rumors about it.
Yep it was called sizostris canal built by the pharaoh senosert the third*
So interesting thank you :)
Very interesting, I never new about that 😎
Pharoes om water 😂
Sometimes, history repeats itself in a way nobody would expect.
This connects many dots regarding the US support for Israel today...
It's a little more than that.
You might want to look into the US congressional makeup and current presidential cabinet as a first step.
I've been through the Suez twice. On my way to Iraq and on my way home. It is shockingly narrow. Good job Johnny.
The story about the ships that were stucked in that canal for 8 years is actually a fantastic story. I recommend learning about it.
yes
yes
We need a Michael Bay movie about the ships that were stuck for 8 years 😆
Same lmao
I agree same too.
That Canadian guy at 7:49 was Canadian prime minister Lester Pearson and he also won a Nobel prize during negotiations
Found the Canadian 😆
@@oxox491 haha I gotta do my country proud :)
Indeed, and he deserves a lot more praise than he is getting here. Yes, the US was unhappy about the way the Suez Crisis was going, and yes, they did thoroughly backstab their European allies, but the idea to resolve the crisis the way it was eventually resolved was Pearson's own idea, not something the US thought up and simply used him as a conduit for.
@@rjfaber1991 it was also looked at as a stab in the back for Pearson to be the moderator since he was a complete anglophone and an ally of England
@@TheBoyer19 True, but at least he was aiming for a peaceful solution, and it wasn't just a power grab on his (or Canada's) part.
Fun Fact: The Canadian guy’s name was Lester B. Pearson. He won a Nobel Peace Prize for his role in resolving the crisis in 1957 and was the Prime Minister of Canada from 1963-1968. He was also the person who introduced the Canadian flag as we know it today, and rolled out universal healthcare nationwide, among other things.
Put some god damn respect on the man’s name.
another fun fact: Lester B. Pearson initiated the process of redesigning the Canadian flag in 1964 after the misconception by Egyptian officials that the Canadian flag at the time was identical to the British one during peace talks in Egypt. On February 15th, 1965, the iconic red and white Maple Leaf design was adopted as the official flag of Canada.

Ever Given captain was probably watching a Johnny Harris video and got distracted by the stunning visuals
why is it called evergiven when the text on the ship reads evergreen
Fun fact: the ship was under the charge of an Egyptian pilot when it went aground.
@@tryingtomakesenseoftheverse evergreen is the shipping company, they name all their ships ever G...
@@tryingtomakesenseoftheverse pause at 0:16 clearly says Ever Given 😎
@Mike Wazozki Yes it might be a statement of the bleedin' obvious to you. But most of the media reports I've seen have only mentioned the Indian crew. Many have also speculated that the grounding was human error.
Many people will have put 2 + 2 together and think - it was a reckless ship captain trying to rush through the canal. As opposed to a local pilot who should know the route well.

The last line you put is the first thing that came to my mind when I heard about the canal and its value. It is really bad to have such a choke point in international transportation, I thought it was either really smart or really dumb to have a single canal that ships 18% of the entire world's shipment.

How was any of that mundane 💀?
I dont really like some of the bias there are in some of these videos about certain subjects, its a very clear feeling of animosaty towards economic powers and whilst i dont disagree entirely with that feeling i think it comes of of johnny in a way i dont really enjoy (hard to explain, English isnt my main language)
Its almost like he is mocking "how obvious big powers are evil, of corse" and i dont find things to be that simple
That Said, love the videos and they are extremely well put together, i really apreciate the effort and there arent many channels with content so well made
@@ruipedro97scp I feel like he's better in removing his bias from the facts in these videos unlike others like Secound Thought
@@ruipedro97scp I think its just the reality of the situation,there were no exaggeration or made up lies, just his reactions and...well anyones reaction to what happened, and how it happened. Big economic powers in tgis world today are evil, thats just the reality of it, its not very complicated. But no one needs to create undertones in youtube commentary videos for that, if you leave the white world(North America, Europe,Australia) almost all the world's countries have not so good things associated with that world. Its what everyone already knows....just some can't accept

To add to the international mix of this one ship: it was the Dutch company Boskalis who tugged the ship out of the canal.

The Suez Canal is a great thing, no wonder it's so important. It significantly shortened the travel time for ships going from the Mediterranean to the Indian ocean and vice versa. Before it was made, ships had to go around Africa. It really made the world a smaller place.

The most frustrating thing about all of it to me was the fact the ship is called 'Evergiven' but has 'Evergreen' written on it.
Evergiven is the name of the ship , Evergreen is the name of the Taiwanese company that owns the ship
They knew they were gonna get this ship stuck but they didn't want to deal with the backlash of comedy that will ensue due to the "Evergiven it a thought" memes

Sisi so far is one of the most patriotic persons to rule Egypt and the country is flourishing.

I have never heard such a brief explanation of Lester B. Pearsons Legacy: "The US sent in some Canadian guy." Nah bro, that's when the UN peacekeeping force was conceived as an idea in the first place. From a great Canadian prime minister, Lester B. Pearson. Way to just kinda brush over that and not cover that fact that changed how the UN worked forever.
It would have been great to have this explanation featured in the video
UN peecekeepers, ahh a dream of every nation in trouble
Yeah, there's quite a lot he's brushed over or simplified. The British/French/Israeli invasion was wrong (it also bought down the British Prime minister- Anthony Eden), however the canal was built and mostly owned by a French company in a joint agreement with Egypt who also had shares (Egypt later sold it's shares to Britain and it became French/British owned) and was leased until 1968. Nasser force nationalised it (breaking agreed treaties Egypt had made), taking everyone by surprise, and then blocked Israel's access to it. He did it in part for geopolitical reasons - he was playing the west against the Soviets. Initially a lot of people were against Nasser's actions but when Britain/France/Israel secretly sent in invasion forces attitudes changed toward those countries positions. It should have been resolved diplomatically (as other countries were attempting to do), but neither side comes out of it well.
Another important aspect to this - which I'm surprised wasn't mentioned - is that while Britain was slowly starting to de-colonise post WW2, the Suez crises really marked the end of Britain as a major global power.
UN is and has been a joke btw

Excellent content. You failed to mention that the British invaded Egypt in 1882-1956 primarily to control the canal.
He doesn't want to show people that Britain is a vile country. 😹😹😹
@@Idk-wm6gk it's clearly mentioned in the video
@@Idk-wm6gk But everyone already knows that they are vile. Everyone with an iota of geographical and historical knowledge of the world. Its mostly just the British who are oblivious to it because they are taught a very different version of history.
he literally mentioned it multiple times. it’s not his fault you don’t pay attention
The fact that if you imagine that you are a crew of s seaman inside of a ship inside the Suez Canal where the war is just happening and just stuck in between the middle of it for like 8 years literally, it's such a unique but also terrifying experience isn't it?
The shipping companies rotated the crews by flying them out. The same people didn't stay from 67-75
Man I just love the way you explain stuff.
Having traveled the Suez, in both directions, on a warship, I can confirm its disconcerting to be shadowed by tanks and APC’s on both sides for hundreds of miles 👍

I'm so glad I found your channel. Keep up the great reporting Mr Harris :)
