This episode is so well rounded and is a good addition to the episode Amit talks about. There is nothing better to watch and learn on youtube than this show. Ajay and Amit - Thank you!
Every episode feels like the best one yet. Keep up the fantastic work! Thanks for the knowledge, the intellectual stimulation, and for you guys’ company for a long TV dinner. 😊
Hi Ajay and Amit. Love the show and kudos to both of you! I think it might be a good idea to do a follow up episode on this now, given it’s been almost a year - and see what has gone as expected and what hasn’t. And the current state of play
Awesome as usual, Amit and Ajay! One small complaint - once we finish an episode, the next one should automatically appear on the last page as a recommendation; but, it doesn't. Not much of a geek, but am sure youtube will have some function in settings to do it!
Amazing as always. One genuine question I do have is that how is Putins war different from Americas war in Afghanistan and Iraq from the lens of powerful countries bullying less powerful ones ?
Well said that a great functioning country is where people can criticize and report the flaws with its solution. But what are the right channels or medium through which a citizen can do that?
Half way through the episode but can't hold my question for long. So... How much of the episode is scripted? I see on the Amit's computer that there is large text doc with pages and pages to scroll. (FWIW, scripted or not, it doesn't change how much i enjoy the show. So just curious...)
Zero scripting. I have broad themes and the structure in my Roam Research. You can see my process in chapter 6 of episode 11: th-cam.com/video/-RHpE-B89Qg/w-d-xo.html
The worst part of Indian social media people that they celebrating war more than Russian people till now , I see very less video like your who criticize war
I understand this is a very dense topic and maybe you touched upon this in the Seen and Unseen episode. But doesn't the same fraught political moment that makes this war important also make the NATO powered defence potentially fragile? The medium term sustaining of this defence depends on far right actors not grabbing power in Europe and, more importantly, the US. At least two GOP candidates, other than Trump, have already suggested the war is not America's business. The centre is holding by a knife edge in Germany and France. Upcoming elections will test how much Putinbros are able to infiltrate Eastern Europe. In hindsight, Europe may come to regret the virtue signalling rhetoric they resorted to against anyone expressing skepticism about the war, especially when this skepticism arose from the Global South. They have lost friends in the process and allowed Putin and Xi to build bridges to a new alignment. It's not yet too late but that's assuming European leaders can get off their high horse and seek out allies. Using Khalistan to attempt regime change in India is not going to help either.
There are simpler explanations about the liking for Putin and Russia in India. E.g. Old notions of foreign policy. Lack of depth in the principle of freedom. Susceptibility to information warfare. Resentment towards the west.

I’m now curious what are those 16 things that Ajay knows. That could be a great episode in itself or 16 great episodes :)
We promise to go till Ep 104.
@@ajayshah5705I was about to ask about 16 but now I am intrigued about 104.
I do agree the 5 hour plus episode on Ukraine is a masterpiece.
It was like a revision and update of the Ukraine seen and the unseen
Beautiful minds. Excellent analysis
Awesome as usual, Amit and Ajay!

Great episode. Learned a lot .
Ajay goes from joyous to a professor with folded arms in a second :)
Outstanding
Brilliant and concise !

To begin with, the overt imperialistic intent.
Such a wonderful episode!
That pettiness aptly described in a Border movie: Hum hi hum hain to kya hum hain, tum hi tum ho to kya tum ho
Wonderful episode
Masterpiece
Pls pls pls do an update on - state of Indian liberal democracy - as the prior ones need an update with lots going on closer here.
🙏🙏🙏

I feel that conversations with 5/15 trusted people are the most important.
Zyada samajh nhi aaya par sun ke achha laga

Can we expect a deep dive into Israel Palestine issue from both of you guys
Why reupload??
A part of the earlier video was frozen because something went wrong during the YT processing.

Great discussion ❤❤❤.
