More important the US has not only ended up victorious but came out stronger. Whereas countries like China does not have that experienced. However, what John Mearsheimer forgets to tell is that all these "American victories" took place on other people territories. America and Americans did not have to face the horrors of wars - the destruction, deaths, disruptions etc. One they face war on American soil, maybe John Mearsheimer won't be so "brave" about America being invincible!

It's the 5 eyes led by the US that is most arrogant. They always say they care about the freedom of speech of those people in the countries they are against. But in truth, they just want to hurt those countries because they are competing for some resource that they cannot easily take without paying full price. If they really cared about individual people, then they would start with looking after their citizens using their own resources without trying to grab at the resources of others. It's like ftx being able to be generous with other people's money. And at the same time pocketing some of it for themselves. When it costs them personally, they can no longer be so generous.

I have seen many Chinese commenters say this about Europe that it will decline. I know you are saying this because of the huge influx of migrants. You guys are something else. Europe would actually fall without the migrants. They are about to have a large aging population that needs care and people to fill up that void so that their pension system does not collapse. Then they are about to see some people leave when the global south starts developing another possibility for collapse. Then they have issues with their election system and rise of the extreme right which everyone knows the extreme right is nationalist and sometimes socialist. Socialist, nationalist, conservative regimes tend to stumble the economic growth of a nation, because their way of thinking limits creativity and thus people that want to create new concepts. So I do not even know what you are saying. Both Europe and the US will not collapse. If one collapse the other collapses. You are funny.

Why isn’t anyone talking about the elephant in the room - the current Ukraine conflict goes back to the fall of the Soviet Union, where the American-led NATO assured the Soviets/ Russians that NATO would not expand an inch eastwards towards Russia’s border. That promise was never kept (as the Americans have proven the can’t be trusted). Any country would feel threatened if a military alliance (NATO) that sees them as an enemy expands right up to their border. I used to think Russia’s actions were inexcusable, but I definitely see Russia’s point of view and why they had to invade Ukraine in 2014 and 2022. As a fellow Singaporean, I’m surprised Mr Kishore Mabuhbani doesn’t raise this crucial historical point in his various speeches and talks around the world. It does give context to this Russia-Ukraine war. Renowned American economist, Prof. Jeffery Sachs, brings up this historical aspect of the current war. I really respect Professor Sachs. He calls a spade a spade. The Americans have provoked Russia- pushing it to a corner and using Ukraine to engage in a proxy war with Russia.

The colonial Brits sure did emasculate the Chinese language willy-nilly. Hugely influenced by their Preachers the Comanders got their Wade-Gilles system translation of Chinese names. Hence, the language of Beijing area was codified as Mandarin, from Man-Da-Ren, meaning Manchurian Big Man ['s officials speak]. The Brits in a move to split HK residents from the mainland, insisted on teaching till 1997, Chinese teachings in HK using Cantonese rather than the Mandarin that was set as National Language since 1911 and has been for China as well as the KMT Taiwan. Western preachers had a good discipline of going to a village in China and for about 7 years concentrated on learning to speak fluently before starting to preach. Therefore, the Brits called the city Xiamen "Amoy" because that is close to the Hokkien pronunciation of the exact same words of the city. And Hong Kong was spelled by the British from the local Cantonese Hiong Kong, quite close except using the Brit light K, rather than the hard K pinyin as G, for Gang. Guangzhou was twisted to Canton, from the Cantonese sound Kwong Toong [Wade-Gilles] Side effect of this Brit parochialism is that in the Chinatowns of the world up till recently, the dialect used in retail business tends to be Cantonese. We who are wholesalers, other dialects, have a saying. "Why are Cantonese people born?" Answer:"Somebody has to pay retail."

[@Billck24]

There no such thing call "like minded", it just a catchy word by the west.

Shallow

[@mengsiongkheng113]

If you are working in Asia please correctly pronounce Xi. No excuse and Kishore has at least got it right now except the tone (Chinese is a tonal language and only ethnic speakers and keen learner of the language know what I am talking about).

[@60-second-HACKS]

To be fair, Chinese struggle with English pronunciation too. Westerners can do better ... but don't take it too personally. After 25 years in China, few Chinese have pronounced my name perfectly. It's not a problem.

“At Alaska, they shouted at each other, exchanged insult..”. Who are they? From both sides? Or one sided?

Singapore supported the sanction, really Singaporean happy ?

[@emotionalIntelligence2078]

He is such a puppet of a Chinese favourable system in Singapore. But, the same is true for analysts on the US side, always hiding truths, tweaking facts, setting a narrative.

14:00 ok this anecdote improved my opinion of macron a bit.

[@humbleforest]

No point talks after talks where those who are involved in any wars won't listen to good advice as each will claim to be mightier than the other. That's the ego where no one wants to bring it down.

[@jimwang6918]

The speaker is so realistic and professional with deep understanding of the history of the West and East .

Taiwan or any countrys in the world that had a deeply friendly with US, isn't matters with US government, because America's business is business, so when they are see the benefits a lot more than they are kept it, and they will transfer the things that customers want,US won't do losing money business

So now it's confusion?

[@MrGanbat84]

Good

[@rodrickdavidson6815]

How come this guy only talks about China, and not India? 🇦🇺

[@4-SeasonNature]

There shall be no two (or more) tigers on one mountain. That's the law of the jungle.

[@wnklee6878]

Only America obeys the law of the jungle. China and Russia are not against two or more tigers.

[@hoonai]

So the best thing to do is to stay out!
