First at Teutoburg Forest, then the British Isles, and then Rome itself. Byzantium repeated the mistakes. First through palace intrigue that halted Belisarius, then defeat at Manzikert, and finally the walls of Constantinople. Korea repeated itself in Vietnam already, so it's easy to see how another Ukraine could be imminent.

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.

Problem is, I think Trump might still pull super from NATO countries that DO meet the quota, if push came to shove. All of the countries that are most vulnerable to Russian attack are spending well above 2% of their GDP, as per the recommendation. The countries that are still slacking are not the countries in which these conflicts would begin.

Taiwan's value in that respect is paramount and its willingness to work hand in glove with the US on overall strategy further enhances this even if it is for its own benefit. Taiwan is a beneficiary of US policy and planning to put its weight against china not for Taiwan. a similar way to look at it is voters in 2016 voted against Hillary Clinton and not for Donald Trump, Trump still benefited from the same outcome but the reasoning was different. an none of this even mentions the elephant in the room that is TSMC that is the worlds foundry for high end chip manufacture that most every device in the world uses including military's high end weapons.

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.

Are you saying that Kosovo should became part of Bosnia and Herzegovina (everyone forgets the Herzegovina part, but I'll stop using it for the sake of simplicity) if they are willing to give up the Republic of Srpska to Serbia? That's not a bad idea, but unless I'm geographically illiterate I don't believe Kosovo actually borders Bosnia. 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?

Here's how it works: Country or group says "we are going to start fighting". Trump sends a clear message "You could do that, and we could launch a few missiles and really mess you up, or you could just chill out and get along". Pretty much how it worked last time, and sometimes there were a few missiles, and sometimes there was diplomacy. But you don't have to go to war to send the message literally or figuratively.

I guess y’all forgot this was almost the exact same scenarios in play before the last Trump Administration. It was difficult then as it will be now. This just exemplifies how great his Foreign Policy was. Thank you for remembering.

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."

You do realize we’ve stabbed Poland in the back before right? They’re also on of the nations that was angered the most by Trumps rhetoric about abandoning allies to Russia. They’re also one of the largest supporters of Ukraine, who Trump wants to abandon.

As a history buff with an autistic focus on the World Wars, I have been waiting for this for nearly ten years now.

I have to laugh years ago I listened to various protestors and politicians in Europe and Asia basically saying "YANKEE GO HOME!!!" So now that the USA has a President that is willing to pull back and protect his countries interests suddenly its "OMG. We weren't serious about you leaving." Saw this when the USA started closing bases in Europe in the 1990s suddenly the same EU people that protested wanting the Americans to go home turned around and demanded that they stay. 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

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.
