The So-Called "Axis of Evil" Explained

Use code tldrnews at the link below to get an exclusive 60% off an annual Incogni plan: incogni.com/tldrnews
A 2002 speech by President Bush coined a new phrase, the "axis of evil;" a list of countries that are considered to be undermining the US. But, in the past few years, that list has seemingly silently expanded, so, does this new list now make sense?

CORRECTION: At 4:29, we describe Iran as the least popular country in the Middle East. As some commenters have fairly pointed out, Israel is probably the least popular country in the Middle East at the moment, although Iran isn't far behind and the general point - that Iran can be described as a "pariah state" - still holds.

Even without selling them weapons, China is still Russia's closest and most important ally. In 2021, before the war, China-Russia dollar-denominated trade was around 68 billion. Last year, it hit 240 billion. Russia mostly replaced all of its trade with Europe with China instead, it's the whole reason why their economy is still doing fine. So acting like Iran and North Korea are closer to Russia just because they sold them weapons feels really disingenuous.

[@luishernandezblonde]

China is the source of Russia's survival. In the past, China played a key role behind the collapse of the Soviet Union by helping the Afghan mujahideen fighting the Soviets while besieging the USSR economically, so the Chinese knew so well what kind of leverage they have with Russia.

[@giantWario]

@@luishernandezblonde I actually think it really goes both ways, the main reason why China's real estate collapse hasn't destroyed their economy is because they now have exclusive access to cheap Russian oil and natural resources, some of which they use to fuel their industry but some of which they just re-sell at a higher price to people who sanction Russia. Hence why China stopped advocating for peace between Russia and Ukraine a while ago, they realized the war was good for them.

Don't get me wrong, I don't like many of the policies from China, but they are nothing like Russia, North Korea or Iran, and when it comes to China, it's far more of an issue for the US because of the balance of power around the world, for the EU and for a lot of the world, it probably makes more sense to play them both off each other for their own benefits, probably why the EU or a lot of the world isn't as hawkish on China as the US would like.

The fact that everyone is just now getting aware to this is so surprising to me on how little people actually listen to experts. Full disclosure, I obtained my degree in political science with my focus in foreign affairs and military studies between 2013 and 2018. During that time, political scientists and experts since the early 2000s had been saying that Russia, China, North Korea, Pakistan, Iran, Syria, South Africa, the (stans region of Asia), and possibly Brazil would form an alliance designed to counter NATO and Western allies. It was predicted that between 2023 and 2028 is the most likely time in which the war would occur. Mainly because China and Russia have shrinking populations and these are the years which they have the most military power and dominance before their military and economic capabilities start to deteriorate. Political and military scientists for decades have been raising the alarm bells, but it's gone unheated, now that these facts are unfolding, people are shocked and acting like they've never heard this before. This just goes to show why we should listen to experts. We don't have to blindly follow what they say, but if you've got experts continually proving that something is going to be an issue, we need to be proactive not reactive

[@catdogmousecheese]

If you're expecting some Red Dawn style invasion of the USA, I don't think that's going to happen anytime soon. Russia has it's hands full fighting Ukraine and China is focusing on taking Taiwan. Also, in terms of economics, the USA would survive even if it was cut off from the rest of world. The continental US has no shortage of resources like food, water, and oil.

[@supersoldierrcp]

A Red Dawn scenario never happen. There is no Navy or combinations of Navy's currently in the world that possess such a capability. Also the main point that I was making was the fact that we have been preparing for this for decades. If you look at the last 10 to 20 years political scholars have been calling for increasing naval capabilities, Air Force capabilities, increasing expeditionary forces. When I was in school and what I was taught. The US would be forced into a ground war in Europe. It would be required to spend significant stealth air capacity in the Middle East in order to keep the Middle East secure and to protect oil shipping lanes. The bulk of its naval capacity would be used to fight within the South China Sea and the Korean peninsula. The US has always had a doctor in to be able to fight two high intensity wars simultaneously, however over the last decade military experts have been saying that a three front war is incredibly likely by 2030.

TLDR, you did something misleading in your ad segment. You said that data brokers can compile days from information beaches. While this is technically true, information brokers collecting information that way is highly illegal. Given that any such broker is unlikely to follow other laws (or may be unable to be held to them due to their jurisdiction being different), any removal requests are unlikely to be taken seriously. If the argument was that proactively removing data from brokers and anyone else one wouldn't want to handle their information reduces the risk of a leak of their information in the first place, that could have some legitimacy, but as stated, that argument for an information removal service makes no sense.

The most fundamental issue is that when you treat a group as enemies, you give them no choice but to see you in the same light. Normally, you at least don't want your enemies to be too sure that you have ill intent towards them. Plus, the globalized world was turning out so promising... I used to think that the Chinese government was really bad at managing perceptions and communicating with the world. But over time it's become obvious that most countries' politicians don't have much sense of what ways of thinking people outside of their own countries have. In essence, the conflict with China is not fundamentally different from a religious / ideological war...
