Can we get a video on the West's huge push to "go green" and how that factors into the overall geopolitical landscape and shifts in business/trade relations we currently find nearly every nation on earth navigating through? I believe that both occurrences are closely intertwined.
The future is america will be an advanced civilization in 40 yrs, along with their allies. The global south will be going back in time,if they do not starve too death in the near future.
Yeah I love how everyone in the West is trying to cut down emissions while allowing China to fire up new coal plants literally weekly. The West could have 0 emissions and still we'd completely fucked because of China
@@Bayard1503 China is but one country and there are many aspects of their economy and society in general that are a far cry from being considered "green". Especially their economies massive appetite for foreign imports, consisting largely of fossil fuels and food stuffs, which won't be changing anytime soon as they're investing more and more in these areas. Gobbling up what the collective West has been walking away from at an ever increasing pace. Going green hard and becoming self sufficient from countries with resources, you say.... Regardless, I was speaking of what is considered the West as a whole and the East as a whole. In regards to "going green" and the endless new policies being enacted by western nations to take it further, faster. There are stark differences between the collective "West" and "East" with this push. Even countries that have historically had economies solely based on the export of fossil fuels, which has made them extremely wealthy, like Saudi Arabia have begun investing heavily to diversify their economies and wean themselves away from their traditional fossil fuel based economies. They see the writing on the wall and don't want to be left out on what will soon be the basis for a new global economy. When the moment becomes most opportune, we'll see the geopolitical levers being created today, used tomorrow, as yet another means of collective influence on the global stage.
That is true, EU and US will get back buying energy from Russia once the Ukraine issue gets cold. There is a reason why Germany didn't wanted to make 20 year contract with Qatar
It is Putin"s despair that drives this "marriage" of convenience. This is clearly demonstrated by his previous reluctance to enable his fellow, but more powerful, warlord (Ji) by agreeing to a series of free flowing arteries between the two countries.

One of the most common misconceptions. Chinese could own this region 1000 years before Russians even stepped foot there. But they didn’t. Guess why? Climate. Chinese don’t like to live up North. Mild weather Vancouver is the most they can handle. Look at the population density map of China.
@@artbasss The Qing government banned the Han Chinese from entering Manchuria from 1600s to 1800s, only after Russia annexed Outer Manchuria in around 1860 did the Qing gov lifted the ban, and millions of Han Chinese migrated to inner Manchuria, otherwise the Russians could have annexed the entire region
Interesting to note the 2022 Aus. exports of grain to China were 6.3 million tonnes, so if they are getting 7 million from Russia by 2024 that's the entire Aus market.
Vladivostok is pretty low on the chinese territorial expansion priority list. It wants Taiwan first then SCS then India's Arunachal Pradesh then comes Vladibostok
China & Russia should also take Guam, Hawaii, Diego Garcia, Porto Rico, Guantanamo Bay & every other American invaded territories during its expansion. What do you think?
@@4tress300zx hawaii has fully american population, puerto rico has been given chances to do what It pleases and picked its status pretty as it is now, and guam the population there tends to like having the us
China doesn't really want territory, for the same reason America doesn't. They don't need it. Influence and power matter more, land is more of a headache as you have to manage it and its people. A 'friendly' govt. is far preferable. Even Russia was happy with Ukraine back when they had a friendly regime, and the US invades nations for that express purpose, not claiming territory. China has claimed Taiwan for over half a century, yet done little about it. Until 2017, when the number of incursions skyrocketed. Guess what changed then? It wasn't China (Xi came to power in 2012), it was America. Trump came to power and launched an anti-China crusade, which Biden has continued. Now for China the issue is Taiwan is the same as Cuba was to America when the Russians put forces there. The US isn't even keeping it secret - Taiwan is part of their 'first island chain' aimed directly at China, just as NATO is to Russia. Hence the uptick in tension. Just as America wouldn't stand an enemy nearby, neither will China. In fact they're likely more interested in kicking America out of the Philippines and Japan, even without claiming the islands those bases are on, than Vladivostok or AP.
I love the little nuggets that these video's always end with... "Since politics is the world's second oldest profession, it closely resembles the first..." Brilliant one today lol
So in summary, these two are only dominating their central Asia backyard and their own territory. That's not Eurasia. EU and India on Eurosia means a full dominance will always be a pipe dream.
@@LeadLeftLeonin which terms? I think most citizens of Asia would agree that the average European citizen - with such luxuries as a stable electrical grid, clean drinking water, a living wage that typically starts in the dozens of euros per day and a relative lack of widespread government corruption is doing pretty well compared to China where we regularly get video of men fighting off bulldozers from their shacks with fireworks, India where the country only made a wide electrification push in the last 10 years or Israel where a police state brutally represses a religious minority to stave off a civil war that would likely see millions dead across the broader middle east. Europe has a lot of problems but in the whole the average European citizen is doing very well for themselves compared to the hundreds of millions of Asian citizens still living in conditions that have barely surpassed 3rd world level.
Central Asia, Syria, Mongolia and Iran are firm on their side, the Arabic Nations and Israel have warm relations with both Russia and China, India and most of South East Asia have a good relation with at least one of those two nations, only Japan, Korea, and Taiwan are completely opposed to both Russia and China.
@@thecactusman17ol What you said about China is contrary to what the real China is now. Europe, the US and their controlled media in their allied countries keep on painting China as this poor country. I used to have that impression until I went to a few of its cities. China's poor cities are even better than the highly urbanized cities in my country. Meanwhile their large cities are surpassing the European cities in wonder. They even have a city in Tibet, developed by the CCP, which features are similar to Switzerland. But of course, the Western countries would not want that because they want China to be poor.
@@diegonatan6301 Central Asia? Assuming you mean the Stans - Kazakhstan, Turkmenistan, Uzbekistan, Pakistan etc. And outside the main hubs those places are 3rd world in governance if not finances. Mongolia is one city of 3 million in a country of 4 million and that last million is not evenly distributed either. Iran is a theocracy where the Spanish Inquisition said "woah dude that's not cool anymore." And none of them - not a single one of them - is sending troops to fight in this "existential" war against "NATO." In the meantime Ukraine is about to encircle a city only taken by 9 months of fighting in less than a month because the Russian military is intentionally kept incompetent by the Tzar.
I find sentences including the phrase "Russia and China" somewhat hilarious, like the two were comparably politically stable and economically powerful.
More like Chinese dominance rather than equal Russia-China relationship 😂 China is being China. Remember China learned from Moscow then antagonizes Soviet Union (Sino-Soviet Split).. remember China learned from US then China antagonizes US. Basically China only cares about itself.
Lol, neither china, nor Russia avoided default by a few hours. Their banks aren't defaulting. Their curruncy is on the rise. Rouble was named the best performing curruncy of 2022 from 1=141(24th Feb 2022) against dollar to 1=53 ( 1st September 2022) against dollar. They had to force devalue their curruncy to make it more affordable lol. The Chinese yuan is replacing dollar in many countries as a forex curruncy. Even saudi is trading in yuan and roubles now. And most of all, neither putin, nor xi talks about having hairy legs and childern jumping on it. Its biden and the other things i talked about is usa
It might be worth watching this channel solely for the amazing "one liners". This one cracked me up: "Since politics in the world's second oldest profession it often resembles the first."
Been watching your channel for a while and one thing that I have to say, as a native English speaker, is how impressive your command of the language is. Flawless steucting of your sentences and a lot of sayings and phrases that normally only native speakers would use. Amazing job 💪
i think ive figured out the problem i have with an otherwise wonderful channel, its all about aspirations and plans rather than what is actually happening
Yeah, half of the money is going to be stolen, the other half will be lost. What they will manage to build will crumble in 5 years. Few people will go to jail. More money will be dedicated to the project. Half of it will be stolen, half of it will be lost….
Yeah imagine thinking Russian projects gonna work 10 years in advance while they're on the brink of civil war "China will replace EU by 2067" thing is just a cope and propaganda to feed the Russian population just to give them false hope in the long run
South Korea, Taiwan, Japan, and most of Europe are in a similar spot. The United States and most European exceptions would be too without immigration, which causes issues of its own (as France is seeing right now).
1:04: China's new foreign policy focuses on being proactive and achieving goals, while Russia is signing deals with China to strengthen their alliance. 2:20: The Chinese-Russian alliance was previously believed to be unlikely due to historical and ideological differences. 6:49: Construction of a gas pipeline from Mongolia to China will begin in 2024, providing an outlet for gas fields and potentially replacing North Stream by 2030. 7:23: Bilateral trade between China and Russia has led to an increase in cross-border transactions settled in Yuan, with the Yuan's share of trade on Russian currency markets rising from 1% to 45%. 8:36: China's regional development plan in Central Asia focuses on trade, investment, tourism, and cultural exchange, aiming to strengthen security cooperation and address concerns regarding China's practices in Xinjiang. Recap by Tammy AI
Caspian does some incredible closing lines but you've outdone yourselves today. "Because, since politics is the world's second oldest profession, it closely resembles the first." 🤯🤯🤯
Weird how this channel tries to provide complicated analysis in a well spoken manner, but most of the audience seem to be military fan boy dorks from the developing world who barely speak English, judging by the comments.
I wouldn't call it "complicated analysis" since this channel only pushes western imperialist point of view on everyone. China, Russia are imperialist countries okay, but why he's not covering imperialism from NATO and US.
It’s simple You fight anyone who dares to say ‘no we aren’t your puppet’ Just ask Ukraine what happened when they didn’t want to be Russia’s puppet Same way Russia ‘uses nuclear weapons to de escalate conflicts’
horrible translations including the ones from Deng Xiaoping. A lot of the meanings can not be direct translated, even for direct translation, they are horribly wrong. 韬光养晦 is an idiom, Deng xiaoping quoted someone from 1000 years ago.
"Like all healthy marriages, it is enabled by strategic concessions in Asia and the Far East." Well, that explains my dad's frequent trips to Thailand.
China and Russian's energy block mirrors that of North America, with US sourcing the majority of their energy imports from Canada and Mexico. Should both blocks fully achieve energy independence, both would be much less restrained in their confrontations.
The absolutely best thing about this channel is- it leaves you with a lingering thought to ponder over in the hope that one sees the world more clearly. This is what RUclips should be about.👌
Not only are your reports highly interesting, but your one liners are amazing. The line about politics being the second oldest profession and closely related to the first is absolute gold
There are significant similarities between what is happening in Russia-Chian to US-UK relations at the turn of 20th century eventually leading to UK ceding hegemony, dismantling her colonial empire and taking a back seat as a junior partner. It is rare that a hegemonic power gets to retire gracefully, perhaps it could be an option on the table if Russia survives for another 50 years.
Yeah, look, their next 50 years won't be graceful at all. Maybe if you start the clock in 50 years it will be. And post WWII, the Brits committed war crimes to keep their Empire. Ask the Kenyans. So there was no grace involved overall. After WWII the US could pretty much dictate the relationship and the way for the UK to keep relevance was to be the junior partner. They could say "don't worry, I'll talk to the big guy".
To be fair, the empire probably wasn't going to last much longer regardless of the relationship with the US. WWII had pretty much financially ruined the UK, it didn't have the money to prop up an empire in the long term, especially one that in the modern economy was increasingly a libaility and not an asset. It needed to downsize to be able to rebuild itself.
@@Croz89 UK was allowed to shed her imperial responsibilities and colonial possessions in an orderly fashion largely thanks to US support. It was a dignified end.
@@Croz89 I'd say the First World War already wrecked the empire financially. Look at the ships they build in the interwar period - clearly budget models.
Why did he fled? Because he was about to be killed. Thats called being overthrown. Who said htta nonsense? I keep hearing it over and over and its an awful take.
They're not going to be the ones suffering from that for sure. When was the last time they suffered because of something they did? Even Ukraine war is their fault but I didn't heard Biden and Putin ever being without milk in their fridge so far. I currently am, and I ain't done nothing :-))
I always thought that millions of people dying would get average folks to question what was going on. Nope. Millions of new disabled people? Nope. People under 40, people under 30 dying of stroke & heart attack? Nope. Look at how Europe responded to millions of climate & war refugees caused by NATO strikes in Libya. They got mad that the people they displaced wanted somewhere to go. Millions more will die, and the rest will still struggle to get to work, pay bills, raise kids. It's all anyone *can* seem to do...
Excellent research. I follow these areas extensively and am impressed. There are so many transitions taking place in solid link-ups between Russia and China. Oil pipelines, grain corridors, natural gas shipments, using their own currencies. It is a relationship that has large benefits for both countries for many decades to come. China will have cheap energy for its ascent as the center of manufacturing for the world. And Russia will have a solid gold partner which it will share development of technology, airlines, nuclear power, tourism and so on - and so on! They both will be key players in expansion of the SCO, BRICKS, a common currency and in combatting global warming.
@@widodoakrom3938 yeah, with nuke, but Russian economy can't afford to maintain efficient nuclear weapons for decades, Russia loses the possibility to become a world-class industrial power, it will be very hard yo catch up, if Russia only export wheat, oil and gas, it is impossible to stay a superpower,
Did Caspian just claim "Biden did not fall asleep at the wheel?" That is the understatement of the century. Biden represents more of a 'Weekend at Bernie's' type situation at the very least.
It wouldn't have taken much to say "The Biden administration" instead. Joe, however.... yeah, when he couldn't even recall he'd just returned from Ireland. zzzzzzz......
That whole section is bizarre. He segues from the annexation of Crimea (2014) to sanctions on Nord Stream 2 (2017) which was done under Trump, ignoring the first wave of sanctions under Obama, and then he attributes it to Biden.
@@hybridarmyoffreeworldзачем ты пишешь это под каждым комментарием? Ты думаешь, люди на столько глупые, что не смогут сами разобраться, где правда, а где навязаное мнение?
Hi, I have questions about the graph you show at 7:44; can you clarify that the difference in Yuan and Dollar trading volumes tracked in this graph is strictly in terms of bilateral trade between Russia and China? The title of the graph is somewhat vague.
Another inaccuracy - you say Russia and China has responded to AUKUS with "their own alphabet soup arrangements, including BRICS..". But how can the BRICS organisation be a 'response' to AUKUS when it already existed for several years before AUKUS? The latter wasn't even announced until 2021, while BRICS had been going since before 2010. I don't know if these inaccuracies are made out of ignorance, or worse, deliberately misleading (I suspect the latter).
China has already won this game: Russia has isolated itself from the West and its trajectory is downwards, ending with it entirely dependant on China and with the status of a vassal state similar to North Korea.
@@theloniuspunk383 Ya, Predators never attack what they thonk will fight. The quotes from Czar Nicholas and Putin a'like before their debacles in Japan and Ukraine are Hy-Larryous
man...i hope someone makes s video with all your parables. "when someone says you can't put a price on principles, maybe the offer was too low" fantastic
The E.U are buying Russian Gas from the Indian's at double the price. U.S is also selling their Gas to the E.U at triple the rate of Russia's pipelines. Now it is lucrative for the third party and more costly to your E.U Governments which will directly effect your entire economy. You can thank NATO for that. Just don't forget to pay them 2% of your annual GDP or Trump will be very upset. 😛
@@basilmagnanimous7011 You think if the west will stop trade with China and the CCP will just take it ? No they will invade the rest of Asia and the first island chain and blockade the the ports they can't. So the west couldn't trade with the rest of Asia. This is why the ocean will become a war zone
This video further highlights how stupid Russia was to throw away Europa as their primary business partner over some Lebensraum in Ukraine. They could have continued to squeeze out German Euros for decades with all the necessary infrastructure already in place. Instead they are losing hundreds of thousands of men in a foreign country without anything to show for it. Now they have to bend over for the only remaining country that still wants to play with them. 4D chess indeed.
They somehow managed to find the worst possible way to do it, too. Shutting down pipelines in the spring of '22 would have actually created a survivable but painful recession in Europe. As it is, they dithered for months, which allowed the continent to fill its storages and adapt. Combined with a warm winter, this meant that the economic hit was fairly minor. Long-term consequences to Russian economy are, of course, anything but that.
@@theloniuspunk383the funny thing about top down regimes is that the guy at the top doesn’t have all the information. He wants to, and you are persuaded to think he does, but his subordinates lie to him and paint a rosy picture so that the truth does not make them look bad. It’s a system that operates on lies, it can confuse the enemy but it will always confuse themselves more.
If the Arctic is expected to be "ice-free", as your presentation narrates, then A LOT of the coastal infrastructure and cities that China is investing in, will be UNDER water - that's not a very promising environment for business investments...
@@useodyseeorbitchute9450 According to the United States Geological Survey, if ALL the ice of both polar caps melted, along with all glaciers, ocean levels would rise by 70 meters. Assuming that the northern ice cap would account for half of that, then a rise in sea level of 35 meters might be expected - exceedingly more than 50cm.
Good point. A lot of Chinese cities are inland, but the one major city that stands out in this regard would be Shanghai. Still, Shanghai could completely sink and China can just move everything up-river, to Nanjing or where-ever.
Its actually amazing how much more powerful China has become over ruzzia since the end of the Cold War, to the point that russia has effectively become a second-tier power next to it. It will be interesting to see how this new geopolitical dynamic will play out in the decades to come and how long russia will be able to stomach its subordinate position!
Sorry but your facts are way off. russia still supplies Europe with 25% of it's Natural Gas and the destruction of the Nord pipes barley made a difference to that. The new pipes weren't even opened and were supposed to increase supply, so effectively it was only one pipe less. Germany gave up russian Gas completely through choice, not because of necessity.
The Ukrainian war united the West under the leadership of the United States, but it also united more and more the rest of the world under the leadership of China and also increased the isolation between the West and the rest of the world
@@pal-vx2mn the "large West" is the US , EU with Norway and switzerland and UK , Canada , Australia , New zealand , Japan , south Korea , Taiwan , Israel ; all the rest is the rest of the world
No. Most of ,,rest of the world" just dont care about this like Latin Ameica. They do their own businees. West is united but Russia is mostly isolated even by its own allies (CSO countries) who dont want participate in costly invasion on Ukraine. Only Belarusian dictator really support them.
@@konanpl8936 it's not about the war itself but about the future of the whole world , The economic sanctions arbitrarily imposed on Russia by America made many countries not trust the US economically, and also this war weakened Europe which made it compulsively submit to the US which no longer accepts any dispute at this sensitive time
I don't think either Russia or China have the competence and capabilities to build new oil pipelines going from Russia to China. Operating oil pipelines in the permafrost isn't easy; the conduits will seize permanently if the flow of oil is stopped. The existing pipelines were all built from Western oil companies on behalf of the Russian State...
well they already have build and operated those gas pipeline last year, connecting russia with china. it's called power of siberia. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Power_of_Siberia
A perspective to consider: The rise of new superpowers that have about equivalent might and strength would certainly bring new perspectives, new dissimilar values to be considered at the world stage, as well as fresh new lines of thought. People will have a more balance viewpoints when studying and comparing various aspects and approaches, be it in diplomatic, policy-making, way of governing, cultural approach, global issues etc. Previously, under a single sole dominant world’s superpower, such balance would be hardly possible as there are no other good & proven distinct alternatives to be reviewed at and contemplate on with serious intent. People would only emphasise the sole superpower’s views/ ideologies/ values/ methods/ belief at the expense of others, as there could also be a possibility of external pressure to do so. As such, the path to success seems to just follow the sole superpower’s pathway. However, in a multi-polar world, thinking of new alternatives for things that seem not working well are inevitable. While it could lead to short-term conflict/debate as different cultures tend to have contrasting viewpoint angle, such differences could increase overall human wisdom when people could deal with it wisely and gracefully. In addition, for many countries this also open door to greater negotiating power and new alternative routes/markets which have the impact of giving greater gain for the locals than the superpower in the form of better deals and reduction of excessive dependency or reliance on the sole dominant superpower. It is hoped that such multi-polar world will increase human wisdom, knowledge, as well as humility for they realise that in this colossal world, what they know of is rather limited than what they don’t know of
Yeah thats the good bright side. On the opposite Russia and China are colonial powers that treat their citizens like shit. I dont think a world full of cheap goods is good when the workers have no protection. I dont think a world with different approaches to policy making is good when one of those policys is having the entire population under camera surveillance.
I disagree, all countries on top make many irrational choices that are harmful to their societies and the environment, ex: Germany abandoning solar in favor of coal “because jobs!!!” when subsidizing solar instead of coal would have preserved the same amount of jobs while being cleaner, or the US treating corporations as deserving more rights than humans, or the innumerable civil rights violations in Russia or China. Considering how undemocratic a lot of the world already is I don’t think the latter two rising will make it that much worse, but for sure it won’t make it better.
This euphemism: "...While it could lead to short-term conflict/debate..." glosses over possibly millions of people dead due to this new emerging new multipolar global order.

Vladivostok is pretty low on the chinese territorial expansion priority list. It wants Taiwan first then SCS then India's Arunachal Pradesh then comes Vladibostok
China & Russia should also take Guam, Hawaii, Diego Garcia, Porto Rico, Guantanamo Bay & every other American invaded territories during its expansion. What do you think?
@@4tress300zx They should also invade the moon before all of that to secure orbital cannon positions.
But Vladivostok seems the easiest.
@@4tress300zx hawaii has fully american population, puerto rico has been given chances to do what It pleases and picked its status pretty as it is now, and guam the population there tends to like having the us
China doesn't really want territory, for the same reason America doesn't. They don't need it. Influence and power matter more, land is more of a headache as you have to manage it and its people. A 'friendly' govt. is far preferable. Even Russia was happy with Ukraine back when they had a friendly regime, and the US invades nations for that express purpose, not claiming territory. China has claimed Taiwan for over half a century, yet done little about it. Until 2017, when the number of incursions skyrocketed. Guess what changed then? It wasn't China (Xi came to power in 2012), it was America. Trump came to power and launched an anti-China crusade, which Biden has continued. Now for China the issue is Taiwan is the same as Cuba was to America when the Russians put forces there. The US isn't even keeping it secret - Taiwan is part of their 'first island chain' aimed directly at China, just as NATO is to Russia. Hence the uptick in tension. Just as America wouldn't stand an enemy nearby, neither will China. In fact they're likely more interested in kicking America out of the Philippines and Japan, even without claiming the islands those bases are on, than Vladivostok or AP.

Concessions in central asia and Vladivostok is how my wife and I have stayed together this long.
Instructions unclear.. Are we talking hotdog and popcorn stand concessions?
So in summary, these two are only dominating their central Asia backyard and their own territory. That's not Eurasia. EU and India on Eurosia means a full dominance will always be a pipe dream.
Asia > Europe
@@LeadLeftLeonin which terms? I think most citizens of Asia would agree that the average European citizen - with such luxuries as a stable electrical grid, clean drinking water, a living wage that typically starts in the dozens of euros per day and a relative lack of widespread government corruption is doing pretty well compared to China where we regularly get video of men fighting off bulldozers from their shacks with fireworks, India where the country only made a wide electrification push in the last 10 years or Israel where a police state brutally represses a religious minority to stave off a civil war that would likely see millions dead across the broader middle east.
Europe has a lot of problems but in the whole the average European citizen is doing very well for themselves compared to the hundreds of millions of Asian citizens still living in conditions that have barely surpassed 3rd world level.
Central Asia, Syria, Mongolia and Iran are firm on their side, the Arabic Nations and Israel have warm relations with both Russia and China, India and most of South East Asia have a good relation with at least one of those two nations, only Japan, Korea, and Taiwan are completely opposed to both Russia and China.

What you said about China is contrary to what the real China is now.
Europe, the US and their controlled media in their allied countries keep on painting China as this poor country. I used to have that impression until I went to a few of its cities.
China's poor cities are even better than the highly urbanized cities in my country.
Meanwhile their large cities are surpassing the European cities in wonder.
They even have a city in Tibet, developed by the CCP, which features are similar to Switzerland.
But of course, the Western countries would not want that because they want China to be poor.
@@diegonatan6301 Central Asia? Assuming you mean the Stans - Kazakhstan, Turkmenistan, Uzbekistan, Pakistan etc. And outside the main hubs those places are 3rd world in governance if not finances. Mongolia is one city of 3 million in a country of 4 million and that last million is not evenly distributed either. Iran is a theocracy where the Spanish Inquisition said "woah dude that's not cool anymore." And none of them - not a single one of them - is sending troops to fight in this "existential" war against "NATO." In the meantime Ukraine is about to encircle a city only taken by 9 months of fighting in less than a month because the Russian military is intentionally kept incompetent by the Tzar.
I find sentences including the phrase "Russia and China" somewhat hilarious, like the two were comparably politically stable and economically powerful.
They have a the capability of delusion and destruction and a common enemy.
More like Chinese dominance rather than equal Russia-China relationship 😂 China is being China. Remember China learned from Moscow then antagonizes Soviet Union (Sino-Soviet Split).. remember China learned from US then China antagonizes US. Basically China only cares about itself.
Lol, neither china, nor Russia avoided default by a few hours. Their banks aren't defaulting. Their curruncy is on the rise.

Caspian does some incredible closing lines but you've outdone yourselves today.
"Because, since politics is the world's second oldest profession, it closely resembles the first." 🤯🤯🤯
Not his phrase though. It has been around for a while.
Weird how this channel tries to provide complicated analysis in a well spoken manner, but most of the audience seem to be military fan boy dorks from the developing world who barely speak English, judging by the comments.
I wouldn't call it "complicated analysis" since this channel only pushes western imperialist point of view on everyone. China, Russia are imperialist countries okay, but why he's not covering imperialism from NATO and US.

@@looinrims Thankfully, the age of tyrants is over. Ukraine will break Russia, and East Asia is getting ready for China.

horrible translations including the ones from Deng Xiaoping. A lot of the meanings can not be direct translated, even for direct translation, they are horribly wrong. 韬光养晦 is an idiom, Deng xiaoping quoted someone from 1000 years ago.
"If you can't put a price on principals then the offer purge was simply too low". Hitting hard in this video.
Your last one liners are always excellent, but that one was next level. Bravo

"Like all healthy marriages, it is enabled by strategic concessions in Asia and the Far East."
Well, that explains my dad's frequent trips to Thailand.

There are significant similarities between what is happening in Russia-Chian to US-UK relations at the turn of 20th century eventually leading to UK ceding hegemony, dismantling her colonial empire and taking a back seat as a junior partner. It is rare that a hegemonic power gets to retire gracefully, perhaps it could be an option on the table if Russia survives for another 50 years.
Yeah, look, their next 50 years won't be graceful at all. Maybe if you start the clock in 50 years it will be.
And post WWII, the Brits committed war crimes to keep their Empire. Ask the Kenyans. So there was no grace involved overall.
After WWII the US could pretty much dictate the relationship and the way for the UK to keep relevance was to be the junior partner. They could say "don't worry, I'll talk to the big guy".
To be fair, the empire probably wasn't going to last much longer regardless of the relationship with the US. WWII had pretty much financially ruined the UK, it didn't have the money to prop up an empire in the long term, especially one that in the modern economy was increasingly a libaility and not an asset. It needed to downsize to be able to rebuild itself.
@@Croz89 UK was allowed to shed her imperial responsibilities and colonial possessions in an orderly fashion largely thanks to US support. It was a dignified end.
@@Willys-Wagon It probably helped, yes. It wasn't without strife, just look at partition, but it could have been a whole lot worse, I agree.
@@Croz89 I'd say the First World War already wrecked the empire financially. Look at the ships they build in the interwar period - clearly budget models.

We should be really alarmed about the notion of the Arctic becoming ice free as something most world leaders are counting on.
They're not going to be the ones suffering from that for sure. When was the last time they suffered because of something they did? Even Ukraine war is their fault but I didn't heard Biden and Putin ever being without milk in their fridge so far. I currently am, and I ain't done nothing :-))
I always thought that millions of people dying would get average folks to question what was going on. Nope. Millions of new disabled people? Nope. People under 40, people under 30 dying of stroke & heart attack? Nope. Look at how Europe responded to millions of climate & war refugees caused by NATO strikes in Libya. They got mad that the people they displaced wanted somewhere to go. Millions more will die, and the rest will still struggle to get to work, pay bills, raise kids. It's all anyone *can* seem to do...
Excellent research. I follow these areas extensively and am impressed.
There are so many transitions taking place in solid link-ups between Russia and China. Oil pipelines, grain corridors, natural gas shipments, using their own currencies. It is a relationship that has large benefits for both countries for many decades to come.
China will have cheap energy for its ascent as the center of manufacturing for the world. And Russia will have a solid gold partner which it will share development of technology, airlines, nuclear power, tourism and so on - and so on!
They both will be key players in expansion of the SCO, BRICKS, a common currency and in combatting global warming.

Thank you for all of your hard work.
I can't get over the amount of praise for your reports, which are dubious at best.
It sometimes disturbs me how much political news I get is sponsored by video games.
Did Caspian just claim "Biden did not fall asleep at the wheel?" That is the understatement of the century. Biden represents more of a 'Weekend at Bernie's' type situation at the very least.
I think he said that because Biden normally acts as if he's asleep at the wheel, but not this time
Biden responded pretty well to the invasion. No idea what you are smoking.
It wouldn't have taken much to say "The Biden administration" instead.
Joe, however.... yeah, when he couldn't even recall he'd just returned from Ireland. zzzzzzz......
That whole section is bizarre. He segues from the annexation of Crimea (2014) to sanctions on Nord Stream 2 (2017) which was done under Trump, ignoring the first wave of sanctions under Obama, and then he attributes it to Biden.

Thanks for your work Shirvan.
Another inaccuracy - you say Russia and China has responded to AUKUS with "their own alphabet soup arrangements, including BRICS..". But how can the BRICS organisation be a 'response' to AUKUS when it already existed for several years before AUKUS? The latter wasn't even announced until 2021, while BRICS had been going since before 2010.
I don't know if these inaccuracies are made out of ignorance, or worse, deliberately misleading (I suspect the latter).
BRICS is for economy cooperation only. SCO is the organization countering NATO and AUKUS.
Top-tier ending
China has already won this game: Russia has isolated itself from the West and its trajectory is downwards, ending with it entirely dependant on China and with the status of a vassal state similar to North Korea.

On the other hand how is the relationship between Russia and China effecting the local pop culture?
Looks impressive, but China won't pay as much for Russian gas as the EU did. EU market was far more lucrative.
The E.U are buying Russian Gas from the Indian's at double the price. U.S is also selling their Gas to the E.U at triple the rate of Russia's pipelines. Now it is lucrative for the third party and more costly to your E.U Governments which will directly effect your entire economy. You can thank NATO for that. Just don't forget to pay them 2% of your annual GDP or Trump will be very upset. 😛

This video further highlights how stupid Russia was to throw away Europa as their primary business partner over some Lebensraum in Ukraine. They could have continued to squeeze out German Euros for decades with all the necessary infrastructure already in place. Instead they are losing hundreds of thousands of men in a foreign country without anything to show for it. Now they have to bend over for the only remaining country that still wants to play with them.
4D chess indeed.
they probably had more information that you have provided here
Yeah, biggest geopolitical mistake i have seen in my life
Who said Warfare is about rational thinking? Ukraine mess is a case in point.
They somehow managed to find the worst possible way to do it, too. Shutting down pipelines in the spring of '22 would have actually created a survivable but painful recession in Europe. As it is, they dithered for months, which allowed the continent to fill its storages and adapt. Combined with a warm winter, this meant that the economic hit was fairly minor. Long-term consequences to Russian economy are, of course, anything but that.

Good point. A lot of Chinese cities are inland, but the one major city that stands out in this regard would be Shanghai. Still, Shanghai could completely sink and China can just move everything up-river, to Nanjing or where-ever.
Splitting hairs, but predicted.
Its actually amazing how much more powerful China has become over ruzzia since the end of the Cold War, to the point that russia has effectively become a second-tier power next to it. It will be interesting to see how this new geopolitical dynamic will play out in the decades to come and how long russia will be able to stomach its subordinate position!
Sorry but your facts are way off. russia still supplies Europe with 25% of it's Natural Gas and the destruction of the Nord pipes barley made a difference to that. The new pipes weren't even opened and were supposed to increase supply, so effectively it was only one pipe less. Germany gave up russian Gas completely through choice, not because of necessity.

A perspective to consider:
The rise of new superpowers that have about equivalent might and strength would certainly bring new perspectives, new dissimilar values to be considered at the world stage, as well as fresh new lines of thought. People will have a more balance viewpoints when studying and comparing various aspects and approaches, be it in diplomatic, policy-making, way of governing, cultural approach, global issues etc. Previously, under a single sole dominant world’s superpower, such balance would be hardly possible as there are no other good & proven distinct alternatives to be reviewed at and contemplate on with serious intent. People would only emphasise the sole superpower’s views/ ideologies/ values/ methods/ belief at the expense of others, as there could also be a possibility of external pressure to do so. As such, the path to success seems to just follow the sole superpower’s pathway. However, in a multi-polar world, thinking of new alternatives for things that seem not working well are inevitable.
While it could lead to short-term conflict/debate as different cultures tend to have contrasting viewpoint angle, such differences could increase overall human wisdom when people could deal with it wisely and gracefully. In addition, for many countries this also open door to greater negotiating power and new alternative routes/markets which have the impact of giving greater gain for the locals than the superpower in the form of better deals and reduction of excessive dependency or reliance on the sole dominant superpower.
It is hoped that such multi-polar world will increase human wisdom, knowledge, as well as humility for they realise that in this colossal world, what they know of is rather limited than what they don’t know of
ROTFLMAO
Yeah thats the good bright side. On the opposite Russia and China are colonial powers that treat their citizens like shit.
I dont think a world full of cheap goods is good when the workers have no protection.
I dont think a world with different approaches to policy making is good when one of those policys is having the entire population under camera surveillance.
I disagree, all countries on top make many irrational choices that are harmful to their societies and the environment, ex: Germany abandoning solar in favor of coal “because jobs!!!” when subsidizing solar instead of coal would have preserved the same amount of jobs while being cleaner, or the US treating corporations as deserving more rights than humans, or the innumerable civil rights violations in Russia or China. Considering how undemocratic a lot of the world already is I don’t think the latter two rising will make it that much worse, but for sure it won’t make it better.
This conclusion assumes that the "rising superpowers" are interested in negotiations, cultural exchange, and wisdom.
This euphemism: "...While it could lead to short-term conflict/debate..." glosses over possibly millions of people dead due to this new emerging new multipolar global order.
