    As a panamanian it is pretty accurate how the USA-Panama relations were presented. Although in recent times, many more panamanian workers and engineers were present for the daily operations and the expansion of the canal locks. The canal isn't just an american waterway, it's for all countries in the world

    Hi hoser, a random nicaraguan guy, i just came here to explain that the idea of a canal here is now twice as impossible, since the canal would go on thru lake Nicaragua, something that could actually screw the whole Rio San Juan Mini basin, and thus some species, but one of the reasons of why the canal is so hated here is because that would imply moving anyone and their properties that are on the projected path, in certain way, the canal was also one of the factors that would lead to the Political Crisis from 2018-Present, other factors, include that the project was proposed by the central government without asking to the provinces, especially the autonomous ones, so, a canal now is basically impossible, not only due to the economical crisis, the lack of funding, but also to how controversial the idea is.
    Btw i love how amazing and short the explanation was, nice work.

    Looking at all these canals, I'm sure you can see that they are always in crisis for some reason.
    Why don't we, gentlemen of the hoser channel, create our own canal through the center of the earth so it's extra time efficient.
    And we ban all crises from ever happening, this will be a very successful venture for sure.

    10:10 Hey @hoser I think you are mistaken here, more than 500 million tons of freight move on the Mississippi every year, much more than through Canada. The reason there are few ships show is because this is almost all done on barges driven by tug boats, which are not ships. This is also even cheaper than using foreign ships.

    • @TurboLoveTrain
      @TurboLoveTrain 3 หลายเดือนก่อน

      I bet international shipping laws have more to do with that than cost... in fact the American barge workers are probably more expensive than the Indonesian ship workers for example. I know there are strict laws involving where passenger ships can and can't dock that have nothing to do with anything but taxes and tariffs.

      To briefly summarize for those curious: US child-prodigy-turned-mercenary starts out by invading Baja California to relegalize slavery and ends up becoming the dictator of Nicaragua, relegalizes slavery (again), pisses off Vanderbilt, then gets in one of the biggest wars of 1800s Central America, "accidentally" killing like 10% of the Costa-Rican population via germ-warfare in the process. And I'm skipping over a whole lot of other stuff.

    No the Jones act isn’t the freaking reason ships aren’t in the Mississippi. The canals are too shallow, that’s why tug/barges (that can transport as much as any ship), flood the Mississippi.

    I don’t wanna be that guy but just FYI at 14:42 the picture used is actually depicting a meteorological event known as Yellow dust in which sand from the deserts in Central Asia are carried eastward towards China, Japan and Korea, you can tell by the yellow tint in the picture. this phenomenon happens year round but is especially bad in spring. It is true that China has a ton of pollution and air quality problems but using a picture of a sandstorm to represent their air pollution is misleading and quite disrespectful

    I have no idea what definition of navigable peter zeihan uses for rivers. It depends on what draft you set as the bottom limit. The fairest way to compare it, would be either total tonnage of goods, or total value of goods moved in the river system in a given year. I'd love to see a comparison of the us/canada one VS the chinese one VS the european one.

      You have to dig into the figures yourself, since different countries use whatever definition of navigable waterway they want. Zeihan's is at least 9 feet of draft at least 9 months of the year.

    Hoser, you seem to have missed the main point of the Jones act, which is not trade or shipping protectionism, in fact its closer to Brits eating fish on Fridays. The point is to make sure that the US has a merchant marine to move its military equipment around in time of war. The Navy doesn't have a huge fleet of cargo ships to shuffle all the goods around that a big war would require. So they depend on having US owned, US flagged, US built, and US crewed ships around to make up for that logistical shortfall.
