Who knew the Peloponnesian war would be a part of this commentary?? Why I admire and "universal love" Belle and Beau!! They always bring the historical subtext!!
I find it funny that Xi invokes Thucydides' Trap (but spells it unconventionally) which would make the US the rising power (Athens) that started and ultimately lost the Peloponnesian war against the established ruling power of China (Sparta) Although China did have a great ancient empire millennia ago, Xi might need to consider his own Thucydides' Trap since China would more correctly be considered the rising power. If history were to rhyme, that would leave the orange shit-stain playing the victorious part of establishment Sparta as an orange and very old cartoon Kirk Douglas in the wrong war.

It was well over a year ago that the subs suddenly stopped increasing at anywhere near the same rate immediately after reaching 800k, though the view count and comments numbers kept increasing at the rate they had been, if not more.

I've been talking about the similarities of the fall of the Roman Empire and the state of the U.S. since Reagan was in office. Nero fiddled, Donnie golfed...
It took, as I recall, about 300 years for the Roman Empire to fall. It was more akin to a river shifting its banks, over the car crash everyone seems to like to imagine in their head. So, which specific time period of the collapse are you imagining aligns closely with what's happening in the USA? When did our collapse begin? Because the only way we would be anywhere near our last gasp, is if the collapse started, oh IDK,.... about the start of the Civil War.
@@paolagrando5079 Nah, both fell, just at different times and ways. The Republic fell when Caesar took over following the First Triumvirate, which effectively ended the Roman Republic system, while the Empire fell with the deposing of the last Western Roman Emperor. Both were the result of centuries of instability and decline of both systems of government, as mentioned by another comment. It's tempting to look for exact parallels to historical events, but really, there's way too much nuance in such events to ever find anything comparative beyond the broad strokes. You can point to vaguely similar events, and there are certainly lessons to be learned, but to try and directly compare the political instability of the United States in this era of high tech information and misinformation to events that occurred millennia ago in an era before the printed word will mostly net you only the most simplistic of similarities. Also, as another comment here shows, a lot of people's understanding of history is often based on popular culture and not concrete facts (i.e: Nero fiddling while Rome burned, which never happened to any verifiable degree and was almost certainly satire critiquing his lack of effective leadership, as the Romans were somewhat exaggeration-prone).

The First World War started because everybody was more prepared for war than they were for peace, and the conditions that exist today are not entirely dissimilar to a century ago, nor have politicians improved in intelligence or ability over that time, with the current players at the table it is hard to see them doing the hard work that is required for peace when sowing fear and warmongering are so readily to hand...
One of the more terrorizing things to me is that Trump keeps mentioning how "OTHERS" would start WWIII, and we all understand Trump's propensity to continually project his own actions and feelings on to others. If there is a WWIII, it will be started because of Trump.
I took a class on the Peloponnesian War. Very intriguing. DT has been tasked with the goal of ceding America’s global power, by Putin or whichever overlord told him to. Perhaps it’s Musk? “A man who has everything has nothing to lose." -Baltasar Gracián
It's not Musk, although he has other goals he is manipulating Trump toward. It's 100% Putin who wants to see the United States smoldering in ruins, figuratively or literally. And Trump is the perfect Manchurian Candidate, and he doesn't even understand what the hell that means.
He'll do the same thing he did last time... Screw the economy, screw the people, screw the environment and wreck foreign relations. Completely unchecked, it'll take a decade to get back on track, and that may very well be too late for the environment and our standing at the poker game.
@@Lilrock2033 You're incorrect, but keep on voting for pedophiles I guess. Republicans have forever lost the battle on being able to claim morality after they cheered on a literal convicted rapist to try to get him out of the legal trouble he was in.
If he backs out of that 20% tariff thing I’ll scream. I know it’s not for the best but I want these people to know what they voted for when he said the most beautiful word in the dictionary was tariff
Funny how people with TDS only talk about tariffs and nothing else. I just looked at the Presidential Election Results map that is broken down by county in each state. Let me tell you that MOST of the counties in the U.S. not only voted for Trump, but it wasn't even close. We're talking double and even triple digits more than Harris. What people like you are thinking are in the SMALL minority and don't realize the true nature of how bad Biden and Harris was the past 4 years. Come on, you can't even answer why Harris is not doing what she said she wanted to do as President if she's already the VP! Biden is NOT coherent at all, we have seen it the last 4 years how bad his dementia is and Harris could have easily stepped up and lead the country but she didn't.
China explaining all this to the Mango Mussolini is probably like explaining to your pet why they can't have more treats -- they don't even understand the words you're saying, and they don't want to understand, either. Sigh. Go safely, all!
My guess is that Trump will respond to this by sitting down in front of a table full of big macs and diet cokes, yell "THIS IS SPARTA!!!", then eat and drink until he vomits.
"peaceful coexistence" reminds me of the doctor who ep "unicorn and the wasp" where it's definitely said pretextually/sarcastically by the alien invader
