This is the one time that i actually disagree with your video. Specifically the topic of Taiwan. There is no threat to taiwan from the trump administration infact its probably the opposite with the trump administration having a stronger stance against china than most other administrations it makes no sense for them to give up ground by abandoning Taiwan. I mean, just listen to many of his cabinet members that he's been picking. They all genuinely believe that china is the biggest threat in the entire world. Sure, trump likes other nations to pay their dues, but thats mostly a threat to the eu and probably ukraine.

Sadly your videos about Balkans are often one-sided and anti-Serbian. You forgot to mention the troubles Serbian civilians face in Kosovo and the fact that Kosovo is not a UN recognized country, so it's still a part of Serbia. More countries recognize Palestine than Kosovo as an independent country. When it comes to Bosnia, I think that conflict is most likely there but I habe a feeling Trump will offer a Kosovo for Republic of Srpska swap, though I may be wrong here. What Trumo doesn't like about Serbia is Chinese influence, so this may not be as good as it seems for Serbia. The whole 90s mess could've been dealt with much better and Balkans would've stayed calm for a long time.

Montenegro is west of Kosovo so Serbia would have to give up even more territory than just Kosovo to connect it to the border of Bosnia. Also, would Kosovo even be willing to give up its quasi-independence to join Bosnia?

It very much wasn't as difficult then as it will be now. He put a Fox News host in charge of the army and has fallen out with the most competent people in his prior administration, and in his first term there was no realistic chance that NATO's mutual defence clause would be put to the test. As attested by multiple people in his first administration, Trump repeatedly had to be talked out of using or threatening nuclear force to deal with North Korea, China, or _hurricanes._ This does not form a reassuring picture. He's hiring people based on loyalty, he's got a far more tense geopolitical climate to deal with and he holds a grudge when people tell him "no."

Past time for the EU to pay for itself. I feel sorry only for Hungry, Poland, and the Baltic countries who are spending the time and money to protect themselves while the EU in Brussels lectures them on climate change and LGBTQ+ rights and fiddling away as the world burns.

In what way is Trump getting Europe to strengthen itself a bad strategy that can help Russia? Everyone wins. Europe becomes independent over time, whether through arming itself with American arms or through its own development like France wants. If the American mil. Ind. complex gets less tax money and more export orders, the gov can spend more on the things Americans ACTUALLY need

Trump plans to massively increase defence spending, so those last two things are definitely not happening.

I find that bizarre, Europe is well armed 😂 Christ population is 600 million vs USA 350 , Britain and France have as many nukes as the USA and Frances are completely independent of the USA while the UK uses trident which is a us system.

He will pull all support for Ukraine and Haiti. Not only that, it is not completely out of the question that he lends military support to Russia.

12:17 in that case i hope the chinese planes ships etc are the same crap as my ex chinese made smartphone. Putin doesn't need any to invade any country. He has his own twisted perception of things, and if not he builds one as he has already done so often

Also, why is every other country in the world aloud to have terrifs, but if America want to use terifs, we must be punished with more terifs against us? We always get the short end of trade deals, which most people don't know, but when we want to improve our deals to benefit us more, we're bullies.

The purpose of tarrifs is to protect local production. If a country does not produce something, putting a tarrif on that thing doesn't protect anything, it just makes the product harder to buy for the locals.

The US isn't punished by tariffs. It's punished by the fact that US foodstuffs are filled with toxic chemicals. For example, here in the UK, it's illegal to import fruit loops from the US because the artificial blueberry colour in them has been linked to brain cancer. The UK has sought a trade deal with the US for the last 4 years but it's impossible because our food safety laws will not allow the importation of US agricultural goods on the grounds of how it's processed. Stop using growth hormones in beef and stop chorine washing chicken then we will buy it.
