I think atrioc should try a mid tapor fade rather than being so high
China has 27% of global manufacturing and the US has 18%, according to UN data. China does not make up anywhere near 80% of global manufacturing as he said at 3:10.
He makes a lot of dumb statements
Interesting commentary and video (although I wish that Atrioc gave RealLifeLore time to cook), one thing I would personally disagree with Big A about is that overseas bases do help provide security to hosting countries by increasing the ease, proximity and thus likelihood American soldiers will become involved as if they are physically present, they will most likely respond with the local defenders or just come under attack due to being deemed a hostile opposing force by the invaders, and thus directly entangling America in the conflict, even if primarily due to interest in keeping their own forces safe and/or defending/advancing their strategic interests/investments, in a way that forces/guarantees (or at least puts immense pressure on the American government for) America to respond.
This provides a more concrete implementation of a security guarantee beyond relying upon the nuclear umbrella, which may not be invoked or be desirable to invoke due to fears about an international mass nuclear exchange or the precedent of more widespread, conventional military use of nuclear weapons should the nuclear genie be let out of its bottle (as well as in light of the immense collateral damage, short- and long- term, which even a one-sided highly targeted tactical scale application of nuclear weapons would cause to both the defending and aggressor countries).
If there were US/NATO bases in Ukraine before the invasion, then a Russian invasion would have been much less likely to have happen due to the risks of directly involving the US and NATO in the war and thus risking escalation into nuclear war. This is why so many of the eastern-most members of NATO (think Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania and Poland) are pushing for more NATO troops to be deployed in their territories, to act as a greater deterrent against Russian aggression.
American forces ARE the invaders. Nobody feels more safe in their neighborhood because of a platoon of men carrying automatic weapons and driving armored vehicles. American bases exist in other countries solely as a show of strength to the countries they reside in.
If there were US bases in Ukraine, they would have been evacuated before Russia invaded. Like has happened in countries where US bases DID exist prior to conflict.
@@robert-zr1kx Possibly, but if they were combined NATO base it would be much more politically difficult for the US to unilaterally withdraw as at least some NATO members would be extremely reluctant to just withdraw at the first sign of invasion as they would very much not want to set such a precedent (that its acceptable to ignore NATO as a concept and just abandon member nations whenever its convenient) for if their own country is invaded. Not to mention that as every successful invasion emboldens Russia to carry out further invasions every abandoned nation increases the likelihood their own nation will be invaded.
The US would also be more reluctant to abandon a NATO member because the US' role as primary security provider in NATO is a huge source of US legitimacy and soft power/influence over Europe, especially those European powers under direct threat of Russian hegemony and even annexation.
I disagree again. The US has shown it does what it wants, when it wants, where it wants, regardless of how the rest of the international community feels or how they may vote in NATO or the UN. See: Israel. @@mitchellmcgoldrick7945
we got a little chatterbox over here
Mfg is on an uptrend
I wanna know where this guy got this info lol. A lot of the things about Canada are just wrong. The Hudson Bay basin strstches far and helps with farming, aswell as Canada's energy independant and accounts for 90 percent of the imported energy for the US.
What's up with the gas prices? Almost 2024, we aren't slowing down yet. But I love these gas prices under 3$ lol
They raised it so high for so long so that when it came down to 2:80$ you would learn to accept that as the new 1.25$ they been doing this forever.
@dmandipper9102 yeah that's kind of how it works. Just look at American oil production over the last 2 decades, and it makes sense. How cheap do you think gas prices should be to be profitable at current levels of production?
And yeah when everything else has been rising artificially also and not fallen, having gas be artificially high and actually falling would generally be considered good for anything you would compare.
@dmandipper9102 by the way, prices aren't "artificially inflated" when beginning a new industry. The investments and start of any industry will need to charge more to make back investment costs, at which point once it is recovered you can bring down prices to maintain profitability and increase sales.
@@benjamies4136 regardless the gas prices alone indicate the value of the dollar. 2:80$ is the new 1:25$ and yes it’s because they say it is. And when they say it is. He who prints the money determines it’s value.
@dmandipper9102 that doesn't sound bad. I'd prefer that over almost 4$ a gallon that we had a couple years back. Especially with inflation. I don't know who you know is simply believing the prices are actually cheaper now for most things lol. No one needs to tell most people that everything is generally going up, yet gas is still coming down.
While I agree that the USA's military power is overblown by many people, the US armed forces&intelligence are THE BEST in the world. The intelligence helping achieve military and financial goals. And while the USA's ground game isn't the best, we could lose a war to china just due to numbers, our air force and blue water capabilities are actually 10x the next best, comfortably. By tonnage/number of aircraft, AND a significant lead in technologies, meaning that our lead is greater than the 10x1 numerical advantage. We rule the skies and sea, any package can be stopped by the USA if we decide it's worth it. So in a total war, the USA would look like it is at least 3x the next best, which is china, and from there it's a STEEP drop off to what, Japan? Germany? maybe Russia or India? Yeah. Decidedly the USA is OP, militarily and economically.
Isn't it funny how we exported our inflation to our allies and the 3rd world? lol. Kinda nice, tbh. We're still not getting off scott free tho.
