0:40 Glad you mentioned the US overthrew the Iranian government, but you forgot to mention the Iranian government at the time was a democratically elected government. By starting a coup and toppling the democratic government in Iran, US killed the nascent democracy in Iran and the middle East, and sowed the seeds of hostility towards the US for generations to come. And, of course, after the US straggled Iranian democracy, it installed a despot and a US puppet in office, who in turn brutally murdered and tortured tens and thousands of Iranians

[@Hathur]

He alluded to it, when he said the US ostensibly violated its democratic values, just moments after referring to Iran.

I am a Pakistani American it’s fascinating all this back and forth. The US foreign policy sucks at best. It has a big strategic component and a week long term goal. Mossadiq the elected PM of Iran was replaced by the autocratic Shah just because the Iranians told British petroleum to understand that this refinery and oil fields belonged Iran now. The British came crying to the US and CIA installed the Shah. Read all the Shahs men an account how it happened Then take Pakistan it was a CENTO & SEATO member alliances the US created against USSR. The US had the biggest listening base in the world in Peshawar Pakistan this is pre satellite era. 4000 Americans lived at Bada Bair from where the U2 would fly across the USSR to film the vast country and land in Norway every week. Till on May 1, 1960 Francis Gray Powers’s U2 was shot down over USSR. That was the end of the base in Peshawar as K series satellites went up to do the spying. Pakistan broke away from the United States in September 1965. Every armament that Pakistan military possed was US made. The war with India Pakistan was left high and dry as the US refused to supply arms in its fight with this 6 time larger neighbor. That’s when it turned towards China. The rest is just bad policy of the United States of America. Even then Pakistan helped fight the Afghan war 1979 to oust the Russians. Then again to get Osama. Sure Pakistan got money but the Afghan refugees 4.3 million never returned brought guns drugs and host of other things into Pakistan. 45 years later things are not so good in Pakistan with US interference in the democratic process. The US policy has failed for the long term across the globe, Iran Cuba Venezuela Libya Pakistan Afghanistan and many more in Africa.

Yes no doubt. From subcontinent millions of dollars, from Afghanistan lithium, oil from Iraq and Syria, and also stilling from south Africa.

Glad you mentioned that it’s important for the Chinese to build a base there to protect its people participating in the BRI routes. Too many have been killed from the horrific terrorist attacks in the region of Pakistan.

Ryan is such a good source of knowledge for all things geopolitics. His analysis and breakdown of deep and important historic issues is second to none. I’ve learned so much from him and he has such a humble and friendly demeanor at the same time. He must be protected at all costs.

Wouldn’t Ryan say he’s against “American imperialism?” so why frame it as an American loss?

[@beenright5115]

He's saying that the American imperialist agenda is so stupid that it's actually working against America's interests... If we actually stood by our rhetoric and alleged beliefs, have up on the imperialist meddling, then both America and Pakistan would be in a better place.

[@tap_water872]

@@beenright5115 This is contradictory. If the USA built a base in Pakistan, all things being equal, Ryan would throw a fit. Theres only the ends and the means that matter. China gets a base, then Ryan says the US hurt its interests…well, how, Ryan?

[@szahmad2416]

@@tap_water872 Ryan's saying that even as an empire - which the US government strives to be - the US is in decline. He's against the empire, of course, and he's also pointing out the incompetence.

[@redfordrn]

Honest insite Ryan and Emily. Thank you. You are spot on, with regards to political games being played with Pakistan. It is sad. I am a Pakistani American, and would like a good relationship between the two Nations, and at the same time, would wish Pakistan to be more independent and not be a client state of any Global power, particularly US, which has used and dumped Pakistan time and again. China on the other hand has genuinely helped Pakistan on many occasions. No country should be used as a pawn. Looking at India, with similar history as Pakistan, they are very independent and do not fall under a "client" state category, so Pakistan should be same way. And IMRAN Khan, was the best hope for Pakistan's independent foreign policy and ultimately its development and well being of its common citizens.

[@umarpuar]

We being Pakistanis of Pakistan can see how your current country US wants Imran Khan in power so bad now.

[@vervetech9395]

The problem is that China goes too soft on countries. They give flexibility to countries to have relationships with the other side too. Unlike the US that deals in absolutes. ie. "You're either with me or against me".

That is a feature, not a bug.

[@vervetech9395]

@@danielch6662 Sometimes when countries find you soft, they take you for granted and push you away for the side that's hard on them believing that they can still come back to you and you'll accept them because you're soft.
