THUGR, I question AGAIN whether you even listened to your video.

It is, once again, A GUY OPINING over a bunch of distracting pictures (meaningless charts, USA soldiers in exercises, bigwigs sitting around a table) ...

And in it, like the previous video, he makes a number of assertions withiut a shred of data to back it up.

For example:" China has hollowed out the less developed countires of their resources and the more developed countries of their manufacturing. "


He makes this statement without reference to anyone's ACTUAL GDP TRENDS AND ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT.

It's true that manufacturing in the collective west has been hollowed out. But that's not CHINA'S doing. It was the CEOS of multiple manufacturers who decided to relocate there.

What about the less developed world?

I dunno. China is investing huge amounts of money in infrastructure development ... roads, railways, ports, communications .. in central and western Asia (AKA the 'stans and the mideast) and Africa in exchange for raw materials. I understand China's model. They need to keep their population busy and out of trouble, and one way they can do that is import raw materials and export finished goods. They have turned away from the USA and the EU as a market and are turning to "the global south".

Whether that turns into a net positive for these less developed nations depends on whether the benefits are soaked up in internal corruotion and whether the leadership is forward thinking.

But Iranians, Syrians, and many African nations are currently in the midst of an economic boom. That's not "hollowed out". (BTW, not a big fan of China, but reality is is what reality is.)

His next topic is LACK OF FORWARD THINKING BY OUR POLITICAL CLASS.
Something I've been bitching about for decades.

Congress, he says, is a bunch of dummies.
Jeez, no shit.

He then says China is a landlocked country.
Has he not even looked at a map showing Chinas ginormous coastline???


OMFG, how can you trust anyone who makes such a boneheaded statement????

He says: "China is not our enemy. The DOD uses it to justify their budgets"

AT THAT POINT, I GAVE UP.

He hasn't even looked at a map, much less doing research into facts on the ground, for ANY of his statements.

No facts, no figures, no data, no thought.

For your own understanding of the world, you should insist on better, MUCH better, sources of information. Information that can be verified. Not somebody's glib blather.







I keep telling you comrade to pay attention. He never said China was landlocked. 5 minutes into the video he talks about Afghanistan being landlocked and how us trying to set up a regional government there would never have worked.

Good for you though, you must have actually watched the video to notice that; even if you did hear it wrong.

Your whole complaint rests on the fact that you mistook what he was saying. I suggest you watch it again.

I have posted many videos of him now laying out the facts showing how and why America is poised to plunge into prosperity, while most of the rest of the world is faltering. Included in that are tons of good paying blue color manufacturing jobs. Pay attention comrade.

And back off the laughing when you are so obviously wrong. It makes you look like an idiot.

Listen up people...Signym, you're nothing but a bad news propaganda machine. A sad and anti- American commentator that mostly sources anti-social hate sites. And you're posting shit that has been disproven again and again. China's infrastructure spending is what's

Oh, fuck off THUGR.

I misheard one sentence.

But that was not my MAJOR concern, it was ONE EXAMPLE of my concern, not just with this video but EVERYTHING that I've heard so far from him:

NO DATA.
NO EVIDENCE.
NOTHING TO BACK UP HIS ASSERTIONS
PUSHING ASSERTIONS I KNOW ARE FACTUALLY WRONG.

His whole approach is contaminated.
He may by wrong.
He may be right.
How can anyone tell?
Can you, COMRADE?

So yeah, harp on one issue, but ignore the main problem.
It just makes you look dishonest.

*****
BTW not a fan of China. I have long criticized their economic and financial policies. One of their boneheaded policies is throwing their not- inconsiderable national wealth, provincial bonds, and individual savings into The Next Big Thing, whether that is Belt and Road, EV manufacturing, infrastructure over- development, or real estate speculation. Also, their dependence on being an exporting nation with a positive balqnce of trade (the Japan and S Korea model). I think those are stupid decisions based on expediency. So, yeah, China: good luck with that.

But don't we see a lot of expediency here, too?

Again and again I have to show you how what you post is always wrong. Here I go again comrade. Pay attention signym. And I posted the ghost cities in China video to show how Peter Ziehan is correct. This belt and road video is in response to your posting how it was a good thing.

OMFG.

Are you being stupid on purpose??????

I never posted that it was "a good thing!"

In fact, I criticized it, along with China's other Next Big Thing projects.

YOU EVEN QUOTED IT IN YOUR RESPONSE!

Here, let me help you with your reading comprehension!
