Can Americans Think (Strategically)?

[@Didmasela]

Professor Kishore Mahbubani is a very brilliant Professor and is qualified to lead the UN as the Secretary General.

[@clement3718]

Kishore is one of the best son of Singapore and I sincerely hope that the Americans will sincerely put aside their pride and listen to him who is obviously a friend of USA.

[@tunissaadia8064]

Singapore LKY and this guy made the country well ahead of others.

The nine dash line was not a product of PRC, but ROC, which had a 11 dash line, and that 11 dash line was never challenged by US. They are only recently used as an anti China tool. Kishore was right about how important government is in many countries and are not impediment to the spread of human rights

[@lisa.e5776]

In one of his dialog with 3 guys each from India and USA, he scolded the Americans for trying to lure Indians and Chineses into War. He pointed out clearly that the big beneficiary will be USA .

[@darwindarwin7500]

Wow. Nice observation. Amaze to see 10 years ago analysis.

[@JamesKaifeiYao]

Kishore is very smart and sharp indeed. A great geo-political thinker.

[@Sam26412]

This guy is good; he makes a lot of sense.

The people asking about human rights questions repeatedly fail to realize that the west does not have the universal standard or judgement on human rights. Following Maslow's hierarchy of needs, things like rights and freedom comes after basic needs of physiology and safety. You place sanctions on countries, people can't trade, get poor and people suffer. Basic needs are human rights too, Russia suffered and lost their basic needs when they went overnight into democracy. The problem with the west is that they judge human rights base on their own current standard, they have already secured their basic needs they no longer consider that a right, they continually push political freedom even if it means intervention and invasion causing millions dead in the name of bringing democracy and rights. Again, the hubris fails to realize this and in 2016 the people have elected Donald Trump because people see their basic needs not secured and diminishing. Now America pulls out of Paris accord and undermining multilateral institutes, backing out of those supposedly higher rights and needs.

@Derrick Howard You are welcome =)

[@adrianmander3576]

Fantastic Q&A, just a shame that the questioner takes every opportunity to interrupt and disagree with the person everyone is there to hear from :/

[@summerroll7832]

Very old video. Watching it shows Kishore has been mostly right about all the things he has written (at least for the last 10 years). Why is the U.S. always look at everything as a zero sum game??? It is always about a "us against them" mentality. Oh man. It must be hard to speak to a bunch of old xxx who think they still live in the 1950s. Fox News is part of the audiences, how creditable can it be? The scariest thing here is that most of the audiences are suppose to be academics.

[@jkjkjk100]

Most of singaporean politicians have been right about the world. From lee kuan yew predictions of growth of china in 67 till all his mentees now.

[@donaldjoseph3903]

Kishore is a fervent and die hard communist China supporter.

[@yliang1688]

Human Rights in Asia 😄😄😄💪💪💪

[@patgoh4009]

10 years later, Kishore is more right than ever. But of course all those ignorant US “thinkers” are now replaced by even more ignorant n conceited self serving hangers on. Those who can think hv been beaten up to self restrain

[@kianhui86]

6:12 The answer is yes, you can think strategically, but you have not been doing so. 8:35 Your primary Geo-Political contradiction is with China. 8:50 China, not just have the potential but will have a larger economy than America as soon as maybe 17 - 18 years time. So this country China is the one that can challenge American influence globally. So logically, if you work on the basis of Geo-Political logic, 80% of your resources should be focused on handling China and maybe 20% on the Islamic world. But the last 10 years. you spent 80% of your resources in the Islamic world, fighting an unnecessary war in Iraq, getting bog down in Afghanistan, having a massive situation with Israel Palestine, and there is a potential military conflict with Iran. Now this is handling the secondary Geo-Political contradictions. And in this process, the biggest beneficiary is China. 26:25 Your internet just died on the day 26 February 2015 with internet neutrality. You are becoming more like China. China has more free markets, less regulations more freedom in comparison to US right now. They don't have NSA spying on their citizens. = )

Imagine genuinely believing that China doesn't spy on it's citizens

Great video.

[@YazdIsa]

I wish you guys would take notice of me already. I wish you would challenge me and see what my potential is. You're not recruiting anymore like you used to. And when you do, you invest in people who are normally vulnerable to weak points in society, and they turn their backs on themselves and their advantage points.

The answer is a resounding No. They never have and never will. They are a brutish shallow minded reprobates.
