    Kim is like your little brother: he knows that jumping out from behind the door will only startle you a few times before you just roll your eyes and say “oh, it’s you.”
    So he has to change tactics to scare you… he hides in the shower, or in your back seat. Eventually, jump scares just don’t work so he pretends to grab the wheel while you are driving.
    And then you end up driving off the road and killing both of you. When you get to the afterlife, he explains he wasn’t serious.

      @@thomasdriggers759 There's actually more math and science suggesting intelligent design than there is against it. Actually there isn't any scientific evidence that indicates a lack of God. You think people haven't tried for hundreds of years now? The most advanced mathematics we have (Quantum Physics) all suggest intelligent design. Some extremely high level intellectuals consider this entire reality to be a simulation. Because the same patterns and ratios exist in all observable matter. And that is not an accident. It cannot be. It is mathematically impossible. Basically a 1/100,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 chance this wasn't designed down to the last atom.
      I pose the simple question.
      Designed by what? _The answer becomes simple._ God is very real. Realer than the reality you experience. Don't be decieved by your senses. When you die that veil will be ripped away, whether you are ready or not.
      The gentlemen above me told you to "prove it", but I'm telling you as a fact that you cannot. Because all the evidence points to a creator. It doesn't confirm any religion as correct. But it definitely confirms our reality was designed, and whatever did it, we exist at it's mercy when we die. We know the conscience procedes death, but we don't know where it goes.
      Basically what I'm saying is, aside from what happens when we die, and who is in control of that, there's solid evidence for everything else. Ignorance is bliss, but blasphemy is unacceptable. The universe is a beautiful thing when you take our impact on it away. How dare you deny it's creator exists. 🖕

      @Hyperlingualism 4 месяца назад +55

      This channel released a video last week about how new intelligence reveals that an invasion of Taiwan might be impossible now.
      Even despite that, it's also much more predictable. Take Russia's war with Ukraine: two weeks before we could see exactly what equipment is being moved out of which bases and setting up outside of borders just from GPS, you can spot every ship movement. Big nations going to large scale war isn't something you can hide nowadays.
      The build up needed to invade Taiwan would be much slower and much more noticeable than that. If they were preparing to invade, you'd know.

      On what logic? If China strikes first then I'd agree the likelihood of Kim moving in is high, but if it's Kim who fires the first shot, I suspect Beijing would rather have the US ensure there's a buffer zone remaining between them and SK afterwards but otherwise leave him to himself; the cost of a potential US blockade just because their pet decided to bit rather than bark is too high, and it's not as if the theaters would be too far apart.

      And 33:15 Is Congress talking about any of this? Cause the House of Representatives has their hands full just now getting ready to impeach the one guy that could have done something to curtail this BS before the carteles turn them on our border protection assets. The fact that he's practically done the opposite underscores the importance of the House's grim duty presently.
      What we really need in the area are the CIA and SOCOM. Nobody else wants the job, that's clear as fccking glass. They need to find and fix the cartels' command and control assets and send target coordinates, and then we can show them exactly what our drones can do.

    On the issue of North Korea, Kim will wait for China to make it's move on Taiwan before he does anything rash. As for the Houthi's you can almost guarantee the U.S already has special forces on the ground in Yemen. The U.S is likely reticent to crush them in one operation in order to avoid a wider conflict with Iran since they are currently dealing with the proxy war in Ukraine while also trying to counter China in the Pacific. One thing anti-western nations would do well to remember is that they aren't just dealing with the U.S. If a major war breaks out, they are also dealing with NATO and potentially other nations like India (specifically in the case of a conflict with China).

      @@ravenlordgoat2157 If you watched the video, the essay that's being referenced stated that North Korea has a 'use it or lose it' policy for its nuclear weapons, pretty much it states that North Korea is likely to use nuclear weapons on cities, military bases and American military bases in South Korea, Japan and Guam within the first hours of a conflict.
      Its all well and good saying that the US has an mutual defence agreement with South Korea, but the point is that this has never been tested. If North Korea were to hit this hard initially, then it might be likely the US will simply decide to abandon South Korea. Its just like NATO, the treaty exists, but it isn't a video game where its guaranteed countries will go to war in support of the attacked because of it.
      There is also a reason why all of this is happening now, in 2024, Israel, Ukraine, talks of Russian attacks on the Suwalki Gap, Iran and now North Korea and likely China too. 2024 is a global election year, and from current analysis of the political scenario it seems likely Donald Trump will win in the US. Donald Trump is ultimately a populist politician and the populist opinion is of America First and a new isolationism. Trump has already stated that he is looking to pull the US out of NATO if he is victorious. With this sort of rhetoric, it seems that 2024 and 2025 will be the opportune time for the Western World Order to be undermined, or as Trump has talked about with abandoning NATO, completely destroyed.

Then there was the stark congrats between the level of development on both sides. the NK side looks like is dotted with some fake buildings which look impressive. but only slightly beyond the other larger buildings were these two story buildings which barely resembled concrete shells. there was little or no human traffic on the NK side and all we could visibly see was some construction machinery moving around. The Chinese side however? several multi story apartment blocks. Lots of small shops and businesses. A massive contrast otherwise to what looks like an almost abandoned village.

      @@user-iz7ky7vx1u How can it be worse than this? You have thousands of casualties in the drug wars. You have billions of dollars wasted on policing. For what? So that someone would not be able to get high while parting? Like it has stopped the drug trade. Like you cannot find cocine in any major country. (Maybe not in N. Korea but you can find all the drugs in any European country or USA)

    Second Korean War? No, no Simon, the first war did not conclude. The war is still on-going with a cease fire in place - the longest cease fire in recorded history.

      The Korean war may have not ended technically but it's a new war in all but name.

    The thing most forget is the US has had troops in active combat around the world more than any other country, add to that the highest expenditures on military technology. There’s a reason why Ukraine has had some success, they’re using what we call last generation tech. It would be the greatest mistake to believe the US is getting weak.

      The USA is currently in peacetime. Imagine if the USA ramped up to total war production like in WW2. We and our allies would be unstoppable.

      Yeah , the US as an army is the strongest in the world ,the problem I'm seeing is that with so many conflicts the us might run out of this old equipment and they end up with the option of either stop giving support to Israel , Ukraine or possibly Korea or they start sending modern equipment, something that would be expensier for the us
