The world towards China is full of malice and danger. Even in countries that do not have a conflict of interest with China, many of their people hate China and are willing to hurt the Chinese if they get a chance because they trust the propaganda from the West. The lie repeated thousands of times also becomes the truth
Yan Xuetong did not try to persuade Westerners to stop thinking "China is evil". But he tries to convince people to think "Gen Z is evil"
The Russians have their hypersonic weapon, that missile that can be launched from the air, ground, and submarine I believe. That missile will take out NATO command and control centers.
Then the Russians have the S-500 which is suppose to be the best anti-air system around, including defeating stealth according to the Russians.
As for ground forces, amour and putting boots on the ground. Forget about it.
If it happens, Russia will wipe out Ukraine forces all the way to that river, and maybe go beyond that if necessary. NATO will not arrive with amour and infantry for that fight.
Just my opinion, but this seems like a fake out.
The whole point is still that Nordstream-2 pipeline, that is what all this posturing and deflection is all about.
Maybe that sly fox decided that since they would not play nice with a pipeline, increase the stakes.
If it should go wrong, Russia still wipes out Ukraine and grabs buffer territory, and they can sell everything that was for Europe, sell it to China.
Putin and Russia have a plan, and it can go either way.
The United States and NATO, nothing but hot air.
Europe is like a free society. Any signs of troop movements?
At 18:00 onwards, I agree that sometimes Democrats try to "one-upp" their Republican counterparts on who can hate Russia more, or who can be more hawkish/right-wing on foreign policy. This leads to Democrats/Republicans generally agreeing on a imperialistic policy, with Democrats of the more "work with allies"-style of imperialism, and Republicans the more "you are either with us or against us"-style of brute force imperialism. So I agree that it's almost CARTOONISH how American politics devolve to who can hate Russia or China more, like it's a pissing contest for domestic consumption.
RE: NATO tanks vs. Russian tanks. So what if Russia can deploy tanks quicker? US/NATO can outlast Russia in a prolonged war, so even if NATO is much much slower to mobilize it's force, it will eventually bring overwhelming firepower at some point in the future. Never understood the point? Is it that Russia can win a quick war and NATO submit?
RE: Nuclear weapons... I don't like the guys posturing about nuke. Yes, there is a possibility of nuclear war, but that is weapon of last resort. We all know they can blow each other into ashes, but I don't see that as any real analysis of the situation, just low-effort fear mongering.
RE: Ukraine as the ultimate loser unfortunately, the Biggest Loser. Yes. Ukraine becomes divided into buffer zone between West/Russia, just like Korea is a divided buffer zone today. A Western-aligned Ukrainian state, and an Russia-aligned defacto independent breakaway state.
I personally don't believe this whole US-vs-China narrative. In my opinion, the biggest problem with the modern world is the death of the USSR, and the inability of the West to realize that the very existence of the USSR was the balancing force that prevented the internal degradation of the Western World.Yeapp, at that time foreign agents were everywhere in China and at that time we hardly heard any criticism or attack on China, atthat time China was a "good" guy with rampant corruption. Now the corruption is very much under control, China is a "bad" guy according to the USA
It is because of the great Cold War, that people from both side are truly doing the best to prove to humanity that their system is worthy of being the universal system. Without the existence of the Soviet threat, who is there to threaten the big capitals of the West to not oppress the people? When the US and the West no longer has an enemy and great competitor, why would they need to curb their internal inequality? When the USSR is gone, why is there a need to keep on give money to NASA to make great stride in science and technology?
Almost forgot, there was a reference to "Boris and Natasha," which is a couple of characters from a old cartoon, The Rocky the Squirrel and Bullwinkle Moose Show.
The way I look at it. I am happy those sore-loser Koreans are yelling "go back to China". In fact, the more angry they are, the more gleeful I get. Hahaha, yes, Chinese people only kneel to parents, ancestors and gods. Let the Koreans bark.
Actually, to be honest. These kneeling and bowing culture originated in China. They were heavily influenced by Chinese culture to have these customs. The word "拜年" literally means "bowing for the new year".
