@josephpalack1440 How is it declining when her armies are pushing westward and the US has severely compromised its global position just to delay Russian progress? As soon as the US empire breaks or the oil market goes into global scarcity the Russian economy will zoom. Or in other words, why would anyone need a NATO, twenty thousand sanctions etc etc against a declining power?
@@josephpalack1440- The Russian economy is growing, the debt to GDP ratio is low, it has gained territory, and we now live in a multipolar world. Russia is on the ascendant.
@@wvhaugen Russia declining on many parameters! Population, especially educated, leaving the country. In another 25 years Russia will lose at list 10 million people as death rate surpassed birth rate. In Far East decline is more noticeable than in other regions and soon Chinese will take over. As state becomes weaker the civil unrest will flare up again and country will disintegrate. Inshallah
ROBERT D. KAPLAN is widely regarded as one of America's leading travel writers.... Mr. Kaplan should stay as just that... leave the rest alone... just go home and just rest.
Starting with historic examples to establish "credibility" which then evolves into biased arguments. Disappointing. Two small examples: 1- talking about the Ukraine war without mentioning the Soviet / Russian ongoing objections on NATO expansion is not objective to say the least 2- saying Gaza was an independent autonomous territory is again not objective then evolving biased
Nobody forced Eastern European, and now Nordic countries, to join. If Russia would have been stable and reliable, without imperialistic tendencies then we would not have seen growth in NATO membership
11:00 Kaplan's admiration for Nixon is as vile as his administration for Kissinger. Kaplan is also misinformed on the ancient Greeks. He deals in tropes instead of scholarly analysis.
Why tragedy? More countries are developing, are creating middle class, they cooperate. Asian and African countries (majority of world population) are optimistic for their future.
Very educational talk. But only 80 likes ?? Shows the lack of interest in geopolitics. Only 4 percent of the electorate consider foreign policy a priority .
I have some issues with Australia on such issues it being a historic and geographic outlier. Anyway, ideas are always valuable. Thanks for posting this.
At 30:00 about the decline of Russia because of lasting war. I think it is a credible point but the funny thing is that as of now, mid November, the main casualty was the US’s global empire with the revolution that just happened in the US, and the forces that want to transform US from a global empire to a nation state have just won.
To unite the world you only need one thing, YOU ! awake,respondant a loving, kind, and gentle you ! That's it ! Those who do not move, do not notice, their chains......
I am glad you know the Greek philosophy , should have thought That subject in all universities, but democrat the like of Obama and our Government has been highjuct by social elitists God help Us
It is true that democratic voters have a hold on politition; however, according to Plato, if the "pilosofer king" ever existed he would certainly feel a higher calling. It is unacceptable from Mr. Robert Kaplan to automatically brand every eastern polititions as somewhat free of feeling of burden. Robert Kaplan by his wrongful assertion has unjustifiably has put on the late Joseph Campbell's shoes. Some mistakes big as this is unacceptable from a well educated individual. I do not beleive he is such person. Using Suadi Arabia, libia and the likes as .. is ony a sign of ignorance. These givernments operate under the unreasonable pressure of unjust, undemocratic polititions of the west. Naming few characters in a mythical story so catualy is also a sign of ignorance and lack of respect for the audience. It is almost stupid to use the war in Ukrain so one sidedly as the Russia's aggression. Once again stupidity and ignorance.
Robert, nice job with Botox and fillers 🎉! 72 is a new 52! Any steroids or nootropics too? 😊 Your 72 look sexier than those of Putin.s… What.s the secret?
Kaplan has been predicting the "decline of the Russian Empire" every day for decades now.
Well it is clearly declining

There is no legal basis for NATO non expansion.
@Rogaline Gaza was an autonomous territory objectively, control was officially given to PA in 2005 which was overthrown by Hamas in 2007.

Insightful.
Thanks,
As usual, a great lecture by Robert

You don’t see the death and displacement of hundreds of thousands of people in Europe and the Middle East as tragedy?
Very educational talk. But only 80 likes ?? Shows the lack of interest in geopolitics. Only 4 percent of the electorate consider foreign policy a priority .
Show prejudice towards the lecturer. They just don’t like what he says although it’s a good analysis
What a wonderful presentation! Thank you

Excellent food for thought

Why you said it’s tragedy?!
Need to follow Thank you
Great information an almagation from different source for comparisons
I think at 15:00, Mr Kaplan is making the case for Christianity and why is it right but in a different way.
I read some of this drivel. If he was a writer I am an expert in Persian even though it took me 50 years to know a bit of English.
What a strange deluded guy.
I had listened for 25 minutes to get a meaningful statement from this guy but I failed … I give up 😂
False premises, false conclusions, (maybe lies...)
bravo, in short, he has become more and more delusional. he has some ideas in his head, he looks for events (and dreams if needed) to prove his ideas.

The champion of an empire in decline.

God help Us
Kaplan's talk is all lies and nonsense.
You are very wrong .
haha, he quotes kevin rudd as an authority, kevin quotes him as an authority. both have no clues

God said gather in Palestine not genocide the human being and steal their land this causes hate and violence

Same western propaganda and lies 😂😂😂
They have no Shame.
You should read more about history and politics to understand what happening nowadays
The is a lot of Russian trolls around here 😂
This man dies not stop telling good stories so stupidly.

Bed
lying
Fake guy
ill informed journalist
Agree, his opinions are not connect to reality of the other powers, particularly on both Russia and China.
