What If Russia and China Win? | Dr. Hal Brands

[@medeliworld]

It's naiive for Dr. Brands to assume that America could decouple from China when he talked about the supply chain that the US relies on is based on Vietnam, Taiwan, Japan and South Korea without mentioning China. In reality those countries rely on China for its supply chain. Pretty biased view of the world and delusional.

In progress, reshoring, near shoring is happening. Mexicans are a small part of the illegal aliens right now. Even with the cartels, a lot of areas are building cars and other similar jobs in manufacturing as part of the effort to bring affordable "Stuff" back. 3 new chip factories that will be capable of the sub 10nm processes will also be built in Illinois, Texas, and Arizona.

[@dicksonluiakitperday2532]

that's how it is with these 2. Always thinking about the US as the center of everything without even knowing what Eastern countries think.

As an ex left leaner, I really love Crenshaw's nonideological educational podcasts. Maybe one day we will be lucky enough to have a one eyed president.

[@correykrickeberg4254]

Too bad he wasn't born in the US

[@sashamcleod1]

@@correykrickeberg4254have you ever actually read the Constitution?

[@correykrickeberg4254]

@@sashamcleod1 according to the U.S. Constitution, only a "natural born Citizen" of the United States can be President. This is stated in Article II, Section 1, Clause 5 of the Constitution, which sets forth three requirements for a person to be eligible for the presidency: They must be a natural born citizen. They must be at least 35 years old. They must have been a resident within the United States for at least 14 years.

[@correykrickeberg4254]

@sashamcleod1 I stand corrected. My whole life, I didn't think there was an exception for the naturally born stmt in the constitution. Still don't know what that exception is, but now I know there is one. My question to you is , why not educate me instead of making a response like that?

[@sashamcleod1]

I like that guy. I like him a lot. I agree with everything he said. That’s rare these days for me.

Don't trust anything to him. 2 Faced he is

If we look back to the start of covid, even though 3M is an American company all of it's production is either based in or reliant on China. The USA can't even make a facemask without Chinese manufacturing, it's a serious problem trying to "deglobalize", there would be an extreme collapse in living standards.

[@hollywoodlibertarian]

Couldn’t we just keep raising tariffs on China until it’s no longer economical to source from there?

[@jimjohnston8827]

I believe Trump wants and wanted to do that but, way too many crooked and sick politicians in office that line their pockets. As a Conservative I wouldn't trust my dog with Dan Crenshaw He is a grifting politician whichever way the wind blows he goes. Nancy Pelosi has his balls in her hand.

Hal Brands always a great guest, ty for your podcast series!

Funny how you discussed this utopian world that the US created post 1945 where everyone lived happily... Until the "bad actors" came out of the woodwork because they "hate your democracy". Only the world was not all rosy for countries of South America that the US declared to be their resource feeding trough: Guatemala coup (54), Dominican Republic (65), Chile coup (73), Panama (89) or for Iran (oil coup of 1953), not to mention the war in Vietnam, support for the Khmer Rouge in Cambodia which led to a massive genocide. Funny how you never mentioned that Russia desperately tried to "be liked" by the US in the early 90s and follow the path to "Westernization" only to find out that there was no desire in the State Department to offer Russia any support on that path (watch Jeffrey Sachs' recollection of the events), quite the opposite - the US did everything to turn Russia into a "petrol station masquerading as a country". In other words, you gentlemen are completely lacking self awareness

Too many American kids are thinking that sweat is an injured immune system response to over work. I watch the way physical fitness is taught in school, and the way people expect any job to provide for them instead of climbing a skills ladder into more profitable work... Too many people just do not get it.

DAN, We need help. Our best, most balanced KZbin creators on the Ukraine conflict are getting demonetized. Why can't the US government help us figure out why Google is demonetizing the best information source we have about Ukraine v Russia?

[@andrewlim7751]

Balance? The most spin KZbinrs narration here. 😁😁

Hal is an actor that played me in second hand lions. 74119 is a zip code. 33rd degree is something a cult called me when I was a child.

I think I’ve about had it with politicians

Russia has enough internally going on to have a semi-functional economy regardless of embargo. China, Russia and Iran share borders, neighborhoods figure out how to keep functioning under stress. Sanctions would have to be placed on China and the current ones actually enforced on Russia.

14:29 “It (the us-led International System or Pax Americana or whatever you want to call) has been so effective in making the world a relatively decent place to live in that we have kind of forgotten how nasty the world gets when it's not structured by American leadership.” This is just pure narcissism. The slavery system before the Civil War was once samely effective in making the US a decent place to live in that the US people had kind of forgotten how nasty the US would get if it's not structured by the slavery system.

[@watchthe1369]

Slavery was a Moslem/ Arab thing. Coastal tribes raided interior tribes and sold them to ship owners at the ports. You have been sold a loot of Woke. Go to a library and check books written before 1980 or so about the slave trade.

[@bobmorane4926]

Like China would blow up Nord Stream 2 if Germany wouldn't agree to cut trading ties with Russia ? Is that the kind of influence anyone wants ? Have you ever considered win win instead of Win by coercion strategies which make everyone utter hegemon instead of respectful partnership .

American propaganda and lies 😂😂

Taiwan could relocate manufacturing and workers when we take back the CCP own land in the USA.

A country 35 trillion in debt with wide open borders is telling an oil rich country with secure borders how they need to handle things..?????????

What is China and Russian thinking like how do you answer that you only know the surface of these inferior enemy countries.

[@DebbieOnTheSpot]

You get paid more?

[@Yosef-i8z]

He's talking about how America threatens and manipulates countries in Asia now we wouldn't want china to do it to us 😂 we have to be the ones doing the manipulations and threats via sanctions 😂
