Didn't expect the Hong Kong plug lol especially when I'm from Hong Kong
@Aditya R oh of course, because they're not fighting for anything important, just their freedom, right?
@Aditya R
四五天安门事件发生在1976年4月5日，中国北京的天安门广场。该事件发生在南京事件之后的传统哀悼日清明节，是由当年早些时候周恩来总理去世引发的。一些人强烈反对拆除哀悼的陈列品，并开始聚集在广场上以抗议中央政府，然后主要在四人帮的主持下，该四人团伙下令清理广场。
Good luck fucker

@Aditya R Yes because russia doesn't exist anymore apparently.
@Aditya R I mean if we wanna talk about violence why not have a chat with your police

China: Exists
British Raj: It’s free real estate

USA: No, we’re good. We’ve got plenty of land already as it isssswwwwwwait a minute, is that bird shit on the island!!??
Australia: *exists*
China: *it's free real-estate*
Yep. This is funny.

good thing Australia doesn't exist
I'm watching this from Sydney Australia, and that is what I'm worried about. 😱🌏👽🇦🇺
username1nmillion me too we Australians need to take back our ports, airports and airfields that China “bought”. We won’t be under commie rule
The Dutch: we just build our own lands and islands, no need to create fuss when you can just steal clay from the sea lol
China: can I copy your home work. There's a sea with my name on it
Except we mostly did it to inland seas and lakes, compared to China, which justs builds theirs in the middle of the ocean.
Atlantic Ocean: *Exists*
Netherlands: "ALL RIGHTFUL DUTCH CLAY!"
shut up you racist
Always good to see a nation reclaim some land from the sea. You show Poseidon who's the boss!
I would imagine that any island that pops up in the exclusive economic zone of any country would automatically be theirs. The question would be what would happen if it popped up in international waters?
China would still claim it lol
@@ysnbg Unless an American gets there first and finds bird poop, in which case it becomes an American island. Because reasons.
@@leftfootfirstpolitics Plot twist a British dude had land on it first.
If it pops up in international waters than their likely won’t be universal recognition of their ownership
Scenario A: It somehow was a 5 metre long atoll at any point in the 19th century, then it belongs to the British
Scenario B: It has oil/gas reserves. It is American
Scenario C: It is neither A or B, it is now Chinese territory and google ceases to exist on an uninhabited island. Also this tiny island will become an archipelago just because.
How many Islands do you want?
China: Yes
All ur islands are belong to us
@@User31129 Made my Day
How many Islands do you want
*Winnie the Pooh: Yes
LB Intenew except the spratly islands. Those are filipino. They are ours
In the case of Iceland the island is in its EEZ so of course it's Icelandic.
EEZ isn't the same as territorial waters, so it's not so obvious. If it was outside territorial waters, you could argue the journalist had the rights to it and what Iceland did was stealing
Thank you some one understands International law!!
But does it extend their EEZ?
L Haviland perhaps but I would like to say if there is enough land created in an eez to fill the eez then any more land found would then double the size of the eez if found outside the eez
@@lhaviland8602 Once it became part of their territory, I would imagine it extended both their territorial waters and their EEZ

Everyday I get to watch videos like these in HK without being genuinely worried about my life is a simple virtue that we should all be grateful about.
Its time to play everyone's favorite game:
HOW WILL SAM MAKE THIS ABOUT PLANES?
As a Tanzanian, I'm so happy to hear my country even being mentioned in a video. That made my day =)
Same here!

Idea: The most states you could walk through if you walked in a straight line.
All of them if you just keep going
If you allow for crossing rivers, lakes and artificially created canals, I managed to find 22 countries in a straight line (although some of them just baaaarely).
Start at almost the westernmost point in Guinea Bissau and walk 12.766km to Ninh Binh, Vietnam!
Guinea Bissau, Senegal, Gambia, Mali, Mauritania, Algeria, Libya, Egypt, Israel, Jordan, Saudi Arabia, Iraq, Iran, Afghanistan, Pakistan, India, Nepal, Bangladesh, Myanmar, China, Laos, Vietnam

"Especially in Hong Kong" 😂
In Hong Kong "peaceful" protesters beat the lawful police authorities... and Trump approves of that crap, coz U know, US is the den of hypocrites :(
Андрей Третьяков pee pee poo poo China bad self determination good
@@creounity sadly i dont believe in Chinese as their government don't want them to know the truth. The crazy amount of censorship in that country and the lack of freedom have brainwashed so many people

@Rahul Khanna lol when Chinese tried to upload video footages of the HK protest TH-cam bans them. apparently ur democracy country aren't that democracy after all
HAI: wHo OwnS nEw iSlaNdS?
Me, remembering the everything I learned on this channel: Britain!
@HO LAM YIU China is the new Britain
You could also do what Italy did with Graham Island, which has risen and sunk beneath the Mediterranean multiple times since the mid-1800s. Just in case it popped up again, the Italians sent a diving team down to plant a flag on the island underwater so it’s automatically theirs if it re-emerges and manages to stabilize.
New Island: *Has oil*
The US: It’s literally free real estate
Gotta bring them freedom.
Copied
More like, Earth: it's literally free real estate
coolkid5760 That island needs freedom!

"Somebody just claims that they own it, and if they get enough people and countries to believe them, then they become right."
You basically summed up all of human politics in a single sentence.
Where's alternate history hub, what if Tanzania claimed Surtsey
Lmao, I'd love to see that
@@Fractal821 Same
NATO erupts into chaos due to the fact that an African nation claimed a strategically important island that could be used to conquer Iceland and destroy NATO. Tanzania built a military base there and soon, the news broke. The government of Iceland freaks out and declares war on Tanzania, followed by NATO. The African Union would declare war on Iceland and NATO, to back up Tanzania.
short answer: the ocean
Good point. Many new islands won't last long, thus, most of the time the issue addressed in this video just resolves itself.
Lone Starr exactly. they'll appear, disappear and reappear again until they finally submerge completely.
Please make a second channel called 1/4th as interesting
Quarter as interesting.
Would actually be a third channel
his main channel is wendover productions, this is his second already
edit: welp i forgot about Sam From Wendover, so it would be his fourth channel

"Rock beats scissors, and country beats a man. Especially in Hong Kong" 😂😂😂
That was brilliant 👍
All you gotta do is find some guano on it and *boom* new US unincorporated island.
I’ve already listened to the first episode of Extremities S3 and it’s ABSOLUTELY BRILLIANT! Keep up the good work Sam :D
The HK reference is just to the point. Love it
Petition to rename all of Sam’s channels “WEEE AIRPLANES HHHHYYYOOOOO”
0:49 I didn't expect to see That Japanese Man Yuta in the list :D
Damn, no one is safe from the scathing burns of the airport logistics guy.
Great video
Love the side cut ins - really funny
One of the few times I hear about my home nation Tanzania in a youtube video.
Shuaib Mohamed you should be proud! It’s a beautiful country. Love from Canada 🇨🇦🇹🇿❤️
Yes. You got Mount Kilimanjaro, the highest single free-standing mountain in the world. That's makes it something like the real world Erebor.
Short answer:
Whoever gets there first
Senkaku/Diaoyu Islands: *exists*
Japan: We got there first. Here are some historic documents.
China: No, we got there first. Here are some historic documents.
The other China: We got there first, but it's this we and not that we.
That short answer can become reeeaaaallllyy long disputes.
Your snark has taught me more history than 8 years of history education in the States.
New island: exists
Every country: it's free real estate
World's most unoriginal person
3:07
*Bougainville: hold my land*
Not gonna lie, that space heater theory sounds pretty good
The amount of shade being thrown around in the video is amazing
Island: exists
UK: it's free real estate!!
Oh, I thought “New Islands” was the name of an island chain that was disputed territory.
“Country beats man... especially in Hong Kong” 😮😂
Loved your St. Helena airport special!!
Sam, in all honesty: Extremities is such a great Podcast. Been listening since the first episode and enjoyed every single minute of it. Thank you so much for your work!!
I love that Sam's recommended TH-cam videos are exactly the same as mine
the brutal Hong Kong reference! Its actually sad that its true in this case.
loving the background music
Gerard Gray was also a Frenchman, and as everyone knows, he had the legacy of surrendering in his bones.
Islands that form out of nowhere should be given to landlocked countries so they can taste some ocean.
Well that answer's easy--they're claimed in the name of Halfasinteresting-stania
HAI: "Country beats man, especially Hong Kong"
me: *audibly inhales*
"Country beats man" especially in Hong Kong - genius:). regards
I honestly kinda wanna claim an island in the name of the Vatican, just so they don't have to be the smallest country.
pedo island
The only country with 2 Popes per square km.
@@WildBluntHickok actually it would be around 2.27 popes
South China Sea : *Exist*
China : *Im gonna do what's called a pro gamer move*
Other SEA Nation : *Wait* that's illegal
3:57 I just had an out of body experience
The shade is strong with this one.
0:48
Hol up, my boi been watching Swiss001!
Lets goooo!
NOICE 😂
Came here from a swiss001 vid haha
Thank you for the Hong Kong shoutout!!!
Imagine just being in a helicopter just waiting to claim a new island
3:33 - that guy is headed for a rude awakening when he discovers that revolver isn’t loaded...
If the guy whom planted the flag had stayed on the island and started building a settlement (and used his own flag instead of a company’s) he would have been given the right to create his own country.
*and country beats man -- especially in HK*
You have my subscription
I like your style, knowledge + hilarious taunts 😂
It depends on who has stronger navy
1:31
*everyone except Chile, Argentina, the UK, Norway, New Zealand, Australia and France
They own it but also technically don't, the only country that can still claim land in Antarctica is the united States but they choose not to
Seriously your humor is great
2 videos in 2 days?
*Hmm....*
But I get half the time to enjoy each video
“Everyone agreed that nobody would own it” That didn’t stop Argentina from claiming land that isn’t theirs
Hello Kim
So is this your stance Mr. Kim?
Great Britain:
*THE SUN NEVER SETS*
The way you talk for your sponsors tho👏👏👏👏 i mean look at the way u end every video giving a situation and then relating it with ur sponsor 👏😂
Coool two HAI eps in one week, Black Friday special, 2x1!!

China: *I Will TaKe Your ENTIRE stock*
That moment you realise that brooklyn is on an island
Lumberjack 2016 you’re too late i claimed Brooklyn two weeks ago
@@coyotedomino aha but I claimed long island 3 weeks ago
Unclaimed island: exists
The British: *Breaths heavily*
2:49 add every country and people that has existed on earth to that list
Countries beat men, especially in Hong Kong.
Tears down
(a comment from a Hongkonger)
This guy should collaborate with Wendover Productions!
3:33 the part where he said someone just comes along and takes it and shows a Cowboy put his .44 revolver on the table: priceless
"Country beats man, especially in Hong Kong"
*The Chinese Government wants to know your location*
4:22 that's actually a good and accurate joke. Well done!
Tri Tran But that is a painful joke. (I'm from Hong Kong)
@@bryanwong1766 so sorry to hear that. I support you guys
It all comes down to how much blood a particular government is willing to spill for it.
Bird: * Poops on island *
US: It's free real estate.
An island could also be formed by artificial construction (which automatically claims it, unless Antarctica, Bir Tawil or Liberland constructed it, or if it is the Principality of Sealand)
2 posts in 2 days??? ARE YOU SURE THIS IS LEGAL??
We own the islands, we’re the best
LOL Thanks for the shoutout to Hong Kong, which makes this HAI clip extra interesting.
Lol your jokes crack me up each time…especially the france jokes…I’m french
Love when they stim out about climate change like it's a thing
Last time I was this early, [REDACTED] didn’t know who Joe is
What's an early?

2:53 india is messed up lol or not lol
Don't ever try to fully know what's going on... Cause 90% of Indians don't know what's going on there... LoL 😂
It's not - that's the world in 1914, and India, Pakistan, Bangladesh, and Burma were all British colonies, with a few coastal cities under Portuguese control.
shenmueIII suporta o PNR e Chega e Mario Machado Yes I am a Joke channel, but climate change is real, it's no joke. I would like to see how you feel in 10,000 years when you see that a large portion of land is now gone. Some people honestly are too wrapped up creating fake conspiracies and not saving the environment. Wake up.
I liked the video in the very moment you mentioned Hong Kong. It's like the old phrase: the enemy of China is my friend.
My favorite island is Sark in the English Channel because it's a dark sky preserve, and Enya made an album inspired by it.
sooo... the answer to "who owns new islands" is "whoever can enforce their ownership"? that's a lame video
Haven't been this early for ages
Can't wait to start browning safely. Thank you Dashlane.
If Tanzania would've claimed Surtsey I think Iceland might have cod war 4 on their hands
Where they just claim the entire Atlantic ocean
