    The video oversimplifies the political systems of Iran and Turkey, portraying them as straightforward dictatorships. It fails to recognize Iran’s complex system with both elected officials and the Supreme Leader’s influence, as well as Turkey’s semi-authoritarian landscape where elections and political opposition still exist. The video also frames authoritarian regimes as a monolithic threat, emphasizing Western democratic superiority without acknowledging the flaws in democracies .it also doesn't acknowledge how American democracy is being manipulated by autocractic organization like AIPAC.or the complexities within autocracies. By focusing on selective examples and not including alternative viewpoints, the narrative is being biased and one-dimensional.

    • @fuelforyourthoughts
      @fuelforyourthoughts 28 дней назад

      I think that’s fair criticism. I do absolutely think that the power of the Supreme Leader in Iran is absolute, and the elected part of the government is picked by him and to some extent the Guardian Council. So in the end the people’s power over the election choices is near zero. And regarding Turkey, I am not trying to say it is an authoritarian state, I hope that is not what the video comes across as doing. I actually have a video about the lobby industry in Washington, I’d love to hear your feedback on how you think i covered that topic. I am still learning how to cover these topics in a fair way, so thanks for the feedback!

    In today's age of technology, dictators and their loyal puppets are using the media to influence public opinion, to alienate society from democracy and the free world. Infultrating weak minds and filling it with 'anti west sentiment'. They are using public opinion to target global bilatiral partnerships such as NATO, EU and G7, organizations which they believe is strictly "pro western". Blaming the west for their own mistakes. In 2014, Ukraine (an independent country) wanted to join the EU, the reason Ukraine was seeking this partnership, is to strengthen their economy, trade and workforce, NONE of what they wanted was "politically" motivated in any way whatsoever. But Putin treated it in a political context, he interfered with ukraine's internal politics (which he had no right to do..), and brainwashed the ukrainian president to betray his own people in favor of becoming another eurasian puppet state. You can imagine the outrage of the proud ukrainian people at his last moment betrayal. When they spoke up and thought back.. Putin threw a tantrum and invaded its southern region. For three years they have been making excuses for Putin, protecting him through bilatiral manipulation in the UN and economic coersion. Now that Ukraine is gaining momentum and pushing back towards russian borders, now russians are playing the "victims", accusing them of aggression and calling for peace. Why did the russians not call for peace three years ago..? What changed..? If the russians truly want peace, then here is what needs to be done>, withdraw all russian forces from illegally occupied ukraine territory, stop making nuclear threats, call for Putin's resignation, and apologise for the losses that ukraine has had to suffer. And stop using the media to manipulate public opinion. Allow Russia to have free and fair elections, with terms NOT exceeding 5 years in office (per term, with a maximum of two terms in total> 10 years or less). That is a similar approach to the actual dialog that Russia agreed to in 1991 when they signed the accords, recognizing ukraine's independence in writing. Since they are in breach of this agreement.. they are not entitled to "peace talks" unless they abide by the original terms
