Panama's never had a military just a national guard / police force when I was there in the late seventies carrying Tommy guns and wearing combat outfits kind of suspicious Chinese military police is guarding the Panama canal now.

There is a lot of misinformation in this video. It’s clear that this is more of a politicized video than a true study of what the history of the balkans really is. This is worse than television propaganda. The boarder of many countries around the world are a mess and just the idea of having boarders alone is Political propaganda mess that we will never see the end of. Its all a bunch of bullshit rules for some countries to keep the status of being above the rest, and we all know who are the winners and losers when it comes to all of these rules. Unfortunately all of the balkan is like a pies that the big powers can divide and do what they want with to have even more power and influence over them. Same can be said about the middle east and many more regions around the world.

Serbia must negotiate from position of power which means Russia defeats Ukraine, US goes down financially in 38 trillion dollars debt spiral, and Serbia takes what it belongs

Kosovars will never ever accept Serbian rule in Kosova again, regardless of world opinion. 8% Serbs cannot rule the 90% Albanians in Kosova. It was the British and the French who took Kosova and handed over to the Serbs. Kosova was, is and will always be Albanian land, irrespective of what some countries think or recognize Kosova.

He is trolling everyone. He puts ideas out there to see the reaction and remind people he's the most powerful person in the world.

If “ kosovo “ has right to secede so does Bosnian Serbs have the same right to secede from Bosnia and form new Serbian republic, Serbia rejects hypocrisy and double standards imposed by the U.S.

There are no muslims who see Saudia Arabia or Egypt as leaders of the Islamic world. There is a vast disconnect between Saudi/Egyptian leaders and their people, and certainly a disconnect between their leaders and muslims in other nations.

First of all, Kosovo was never part of Serbia. An autonomous province of Yugoslavia. In Kosovo, the vast majority are Kosovo Albanians, and the Serbian minority claims it because of a long-lost battle in a long-ago war. Serbs, as a militarized people, glorify their battles and claim everything they cannot. And rarely are they right, they destroy everything with their megalomania.

Unification of Ireland it might harm Ireland right now and not England. But yeah the Irish they wanted and there is legitimacy to their claim, by force they cannot realise unification .In the future perhaps a unified island well integrated with one central government could be good.At the end of the day they are same people, same race,same language, similar culture ,and if it is done probably with referendum why not?

How much money did you get from Vucic to release this BS?

We are Somali people will never get our sea ithiopia

wasted my time for this european garbage talk . as a prof you should KNOW to talk . crap .

Debt trap and Bribing may have played a big role in the Chinese influence in Panama. In both side of the entrance of the Panama Cana,l China has built Container transiting Yards which could bring more money then even the Canal. It has become a very complicated issue in bringing back under American control because of these Chinese investments.

On Irish unification- re-unification. I believe, and for all kinds of reasons, it is the direction of travel now. Majority of under 30's in RoI dont see any sense in partiton, on a small island. 'It's bonker's' as some in UCC said to me recently After Brexit Enda Kenny met Angela Merkel to discuss what Germany got wrong with THEIR unification. Merkel told Kenny not to rush or push. The snowball on the hill doesn't need to be kicked, It'll roll down in its own good time. Given how little British commentators/ politicians/journalists...let along the guy on the street, know about Ireland, I am not surprised how few over there know about the Shared Island Unit in Dublin, and the reason it was set up in 2022. I've abs. no doubt it was due to conversations with A. Merkel's team in Berlin. The Irish Govt set up the Shared Island Unit in the Dept of An Taoiseach (which to non-Irish readers means it's taken seriously and you can bet, under Micheál Martin, the next Taoiseach, it will be taken 'seriosuly'...It was he who set it up! Btw, I laugh at some who think FF & or FG don't or won't take the journey to unification seriously . You bet they do, EXCEPT they are being skilful and careful about the journey, as opposed to Maty Lou's overt statements. All political parties want unification, not just SF, think about that for a moment. As I say, 10, 15 or even 20 years...its the direction of travel Ireland is now a big FDI in the north (2nd after the US) That is not going to stop. But Ireland needs the North's economy to grow and keep developing, become more dynamic and entreupreneurial. They dont want what Merkel warned of. Brexit has changed the game. Unionism itself is a dwindling force. The majority in Scotland and England would like to see a form of a united Ireland. That writing is up on the wall now. The old arguments of Ireland not being 'able to afford the north, is gone, Ireland can well afford the north. And, re the NHS, the outcomes of the HSE are now better than the NHS. Many doctors are moving south. The NHS has always been said to be a reason for voters to keep the status quo...well, watch that space... like the old financial argument, the health service in the republic is already better in so many ways and with the investment presently happening, eg the state of the art children's hospital to cite just one example...the old NHS argument will be gone too. Problem is,, too many in the north still dont know about just how far the rebublic has travelled and how it has radically changed to be more liberal, tolerant, dynamic, wealthier per capita than the uk AND, not forgetting in the EU

Venezuela proved once again that communism and dictatorship are failures. I’m just sad for the brave and beautiful Venezuelans who have suffered because of these evil dictators.

Before I write my ideas about the subject , I read carefully many following comments and as I see that the muslim world well understood what Turkiye tries to do but the western people still did not understand or want not understand what is the muslim world think. You still want to see seperated muslim world with no leader so you can easily steal the muslim world 's wealth. Instead of united and powerful muslim world. We know you are still keeping ropes tie the muslim world's governments but inshallah all will change by the time. Turkiye only try to make trade agreements, united muslims against the christian-judish world for the foreign policy. Muslim world deserves peace and wealth.

That is a good news for Somalia and Ethiopia. Thanks professor

Mr. PhD please don't just look back and play the wise guy but rather consider this. When the catastrophe in Bosnia happened and everybode was frozen in shock over how such things could happen again in Europe, there was a broad agreement among Americans and Europeans to intervene in Kosovo in face of the acute threat of a recurrence of the disaster just a couple of years ago. So those are not two completely separate events. Yeah, and then one thing led to the other. So beware of subliminal historical revisionism because you're playing in the hands the wrong people. Especially in rough times like now.

Professor Ker-Lindsay, thank you so much for this candid Q&A. It was very interesting to hear your views on the topics raised, and your answers to each of the questions. I can only say a massive "thank you!" for all your hard work and effort. Yours is a truly fascinating channel. I love your videos, and as someone who's also self-taught on video creation, I can honestly say, it's always seemed like quite a lot of hard work. Because of that, I always thought you had a professional production company behind you due to the high quality of your videos and your excellent content. I look forward to more of your content for however long you are willing to continue producing these amazing videos. May you have a very Happy New Year! Best wishes for 2025.

Yurtta Sulh, Cihanda Sulh!!

Everyone who is genuinely leftist should mourn what the neo-imperialists did to Yugoslavia, with the help of nasionalists and traitors to the idea of “Brotherhood and Unity," in which values believed a lot of Albanians as well. These are just technical arguments aimed at justifying the breaching the sovereignty of smaller states through imperialism and hyper-capitalist Western supremacy mindset. This demonstrates the hypocrisy manifested by their geopolitical self-interest of Military-Industrial-Mineral Complex by sacrificing the lives of all of us who now live under the cruel reality of corruption and chaos in the balkans. Our state drew these borders for internal administrative functions. It wasn't meant to be exploited by war objectives of some military alliance. Now we have some 7 petty states, easily manipulated in the geopolitical arena.

For the USA and Britain to complain about the "Rules Based Order"....who's order?? Who says it's right, or moral, or fair? Was the illegal war on Iraq part of the "Rules Based Order"??? Hypocrisy is rampant in the West.

The 6 people: Proceeds with listing 5 only

Kosovo is and always will be Serbian territory. You claim Albanian presence there yet forget to mention that we were born there as a nation and have monasteries older than most nations on this planet are. In fact many didn't even have a name when we had Kingdom with language culture and terroritory there. We celebrated 900 years of Saint Sava, child of the King then that is in large part attributed to making people literate and is since patron of the education system. We fought ottomans there in 1389. Ottomans ruled for 500 years and it went back to its rightful owners after it fell apart. We will outlast the US one and get it back. Any other discussion is irrelevant to us. You can chase us from the land but you will never take land out of us. It is more precious to us than life itself. Patience is a virtue we little nations learned the hard way and we see life in far bigger time spans than most do.

Kosovo je serbja

What a lovely piece of mis/disinformation, bravo! Where did you study your history? Wikipedia? 🤣🤣

Somalia will grant a port to Ethiopia in Somaliland, and they'll wage war again Somaliland. They've already committed genocide, masking it as "tribal war" in Hawd region. More will develop soon, legitimizing war against Somaliland, labeling it a "terrorist" region.

Western powers destroyed the unity of Muslim nations and Muslim societies have been shedding blood for 300 years. With the abolition of the caliphate in the 1930s, Islamic states came completely under the protection of the West. It is time to stand up and unite.

thank you you told the history of the canal, but s.o. say USA gave permission to the Chinees company before they gave it to Panama , I learn so much about the world, but USA must send its police and army to China do what can do so wont bother many countries, sincerely

You didn’t mention the main reason why they got bombed and Kosovo got their support. The heinous genocides on unarmed civilians. There were around 400 mass shootings of civilians and then mass buried in other areas of Serbia so they wouldn’t be found, my grandfather being one of them. The issue isn’t complicated you just have to focus on that fact alone and it all makes sense

Dostum tespit ettiğin bazı şeyler yanlış.

OK, so Kosova independence is ok, so is Crimea and Donbas. The reason is reality and peace. Who is next? Taiwan? The only principle I see there is power. As long as there is a power to keep it one way, it does not matter what is the international law and order. The best example is Palestine. It is not recognised by UN in spite of just few states blocking it, so I suggest we see the solution for Palestine and start from there.

If trump dares come near the canal all of Latinamerica will defend it.

Panama broke the treaty.

In Kosova long before Kosova war very often Albanian soldiers in APJ were killed without any explanation or they just said they rebelled. Then the nerve Poison that was put on our schools I was affected . We have paid so hard with many Albanians killed from 1878 till 1999

KOSOVO IS PART OF SERBIA.PERIOD.

Everyone having any doubts check google images for Visoki Decani or Gracanica (two among hundreds survived or destroyed) and cry tears of revelation of CULTURE.

I don't think Trump knows where Panama is.

Very biased analysis

"Make Imperialism Great Again" -DJT

Well covered spectrum of points and views, shows depth of research done, jet unfortunately single layerd, at few points 2nd layer was scratched, namely in brief history intro, should be said that first kingdom of serbia is born on kosovo, and capital was built. Later during Ottoman invasion Serbia was on a way of conquest of eaurope and stood alone with all able handed man on land, and has been defeated, making huge losses on Ottoman army, while killing th Grand Sultan and effectively stoping the invasion...Serbian Ortodox Church was born on kosovo. Our songs and saints are all from Medieval Kosovo land..This is.just a few examples... Try to find the land of that significance in UK and try to think to let it go to ethnic groups that moved from neighbouring mountain nation, living on a tribal principles, with culture of big families on average 6,7 children operating as a small business where they all contribute and invest further...we newer had a chance, I know, but to just accept is hard too, not only the loss of history and culture, but suffer of surviving bombing campaign of modern European Capital City, and rest of country, always bullied and threatened, economic development denied, also joining EU and more by same west European countries who sponsored politically and financially that legal pressedan...Even now because of constant support from eu, albanians are treating Serbs like second class citizens, it is complet apartheid, arrests, removing from government positions. And offer of redraw of borders is not exactly agreed by kosovo, that just EU brain storming, so only one option on table, unconditional surrounder. As you said your self, no country ever has accepted anything like that. P.S. In demographic maps, Albanians are minority throughout good parts of 1900, and after WW2 mass migrations from Albania starts due poverty and totalitarian rule in Albania. They were welcome in Yugoslavia and given schools in Albanian language, and many other special rights...during that time population start to exceed Serbian and exodus becins for Serbians...That is the full story...

Kosovo is Serbia 🇷🇸

Kosovo is and always will be Serbia! If Albenians don't want to be a part of Serbia they are free to move to Albania!

Turkey is a greedy nationalistic country building itself on the expans of others.. Just as it was before

video is full of false maps, and false claims

Ha ha ha ha imagine being that deluded to think trump will attack panama. Many of you lot are war mongers

The PKK is a Marxist-Leninist organization and using this organization and Kurds in the same sense shows that you are biased. Kurds are Sunni Muslims and do not support the PKK.

It's like saying will `US Eliminate Black People's neighborhoods` when talking about gang violence. PKK is not only consist of the Kurds. Plus PKK is a Marxist Communist organisation. Religious Kurds are never aligning with PKK.

Ethiopia will never allow Somalia to stand on its own feet, and it does not want peace to occur on Somali soil....! It has never allowed Somali intellectuals to interfere in their country's affairs with the so-called front line states.

Invade with what? The military will not obey him and invade a country
