When was this lecture recorded? It feels a bit outdated not mentioning the Ukrainian Russian invasion of 2022

[@mortydavisthevoiceofwisdom]

[@Wolfen443]

It seems that it was recorded before February in 2022, the whole presentation seems to have been questioned or vindicated by the whole madness and escalation of that war. As far as the Nuclear deterrent goes, there are now nuclear weapons of limited capacity or tactical weapons that are able to be deployed with limited fallout even.

He throws up a chart around the 2-3 min mark showing the history of conflict and 2020 is the most recent bar, with the line noting conflicts stopping just shy of it. My guess is this was done around 2018 or so.

This video is presenting a realist view of the geopolitics on the Chinese USA confrontation. How does the Ukraine war and the USA NATO commitment to it change the correlation of forces regarding Taiwan ?

Trump would certainly use nukes. His political thought is strictly about himself.

13:30, This is a common mistake: You assume that Putin will act rationally, as in some examples of game theory. And, while "past performance is not a guarantee of future performance", it certainly can be a good indicator.

[@bobmorane4926]

Putin did act rationally in looking after Russia's interests. But did the West act rationally by ignoring all the red signals about the unintended consequences of their sanctions ? I guess not. All of them were ignored and they're still waiting for Russia's fall while their world crumbles around them. Inflation, housing market, stock market, food shortage etc...

5:56, I think that eliminating the data which indicate that well established democracies don't fight each other is equivalent to "throwing out the baby with the bath water". Perhaps isolating and simplifying the first principles from these relationships, past and current, might provide the ammunition needed to convince some that peace is the best option.

[@Ravi9A]

The first princples being, countries under the thumb of the same westoid oligarchies don't fight. That's it. there is no mystery here.

[@KRYPTOS_K5]

How are you, yankee friend? I didnt understand your point. But I got to be curious. First principles? Thucydides? Marcus Aurelius? The bible? Evolutionary Psychology (a branch of neo Darwinism), Marxist ideas (war as a disguise for social class struggle), Peter Turchin (social violence of any kind is a seesaw constant) etc etc What is the positive declaration you are positing here upon your "first principles" argument? By the way, who is the author of the video text? Brasil (I am a Brazilian baby boomer, I need text not images)

Russia is determined to regain control of the Baltic and Black Sea coastlines, which they lost at the end of the Cold War. If so, watch out Romania and Bulgaria.
