When you listen to the g7 when they meet its all about confrontation when you watch the leaders in Kazakhstan it's all about diplomacy and cooperation or it me seeing something different It seems to me anyone in media or government in the west as soon as they open there mouths they either flag off russia or china, but the western economies that are failing It needs real leadership and diplomacy if they can find that on the west We in uk have just elected a new Labour government and starmer the next prime minister can't tell you what a women is, it frightening
That's it. Im done watching. Stopped when he said Russia is desperate and needs china to help. Also when he said "without china Russia would not be prevailing in this war. Never seen this guy before but think he's bias and that distorts his view.
The two worst "rogue states" on earth are Israel and the United States Of America. They literally give zero fucks about international law or morality or diplomacy
The Yanks still don't understand what their role is and their position within the Empire. They will go down talking from a very indoctrinated, self-aggrandizing perceptive, right up until the end.
Lyle, I love your knowledge and I concur with your views on North Korea, Russia,Central Asia and China but not South Korea and Japan where I think you need to revisit.
Seems the biggest element being overlooked by all the historical analysis views. Is that today is not the past. Todays relationship is more about “Putin and Xi”, more than any history of “Russia and China”. It is also more about the new global shift away from the end of the U.S. 20th century hegemony and its geopolitical economic power. To start with Putin’s Russia is not Stalin’s or other Soviet Union leaders. China is not Mao’s China. Nor is todays Putin’s Russia, Yeltsin’s Russia. Nor is today’s China 1990’s sewing /junk sweatshop U.S. factory. Seems all the U.S. analyst on either Russia or China, or the typical U.S. personal vilification of leaders (Putin a thug, Xi a dictator) or the made up U.S. propaganda media campaign created out of made up lies. Russia/ Crimea/Ukraine invasion. China Uyghurs genocide, or Tibet cleansing. Todays Putin’s Russia and Xi’s China are not about the historical past. It’s about the 21st century global shift with BRICS away from the U.S. / West, dollar, swift, western military colonization (US bases), Western exploitation, invasions, theft, warmongering, destruction and death. Putin and Xi are looking at a global cooperation of trade, commerce, industry, investment,development, energy, natural resources, commodities free of any one (US) control and dominance (bullying, sanctions, coups, puppet governments, military base colonization, interference of sovereignty, confiscation of resources, etc. All these geopolitical analyst need to stop looking to the past. Todays world is no longer the past world. Technology, energy, industry, manufacturing, new or shifted wealth, and the global transition of humanity that never existed before in human history has leaped today’s world so far apart from the past. It’s a brand new world and we should be looking at it from that perspective not from the past
Unfortunately, the analysis on North Korea was way off. Look, the first lesson about geopolitics (if you want to talk about truth, that is), is learn to stop associate with "I don't know about the place" with "repression". Repression does exist, but nowadays it has become so abused that people generally default to the word when they don't understand the situation. So just for the sake of avoiding saying things wrong, it is better to wane yourself off the habit of using the word. There was a bit about how Russia was sanctioning North Korea because of China. That's completely ridiculous. Yes, there were a period of time where both China and Russia sanctioned North Korea, but in both case, it is out of the wish to join US/NATO dominated world order. Yes, both China and Russia, all the way up to 2014 (2017 for China), were still trying to appease US. The fact both eventually decided to fight the way out is a testament of how much shit US has pulled over the decades. As for economic issues, North Korea's biggest was (back in 1990s) security. Back in the Cold War, there were a Golden period of economic development for East Asia from 1980s to mid-1990s. The time period is the result of Cold War exhaustion on both US and USSR. It ended in 1996 in the form of Taiwan strait crisis, which meant US attention was back to the region. But unlike China, South Korea, Japan, etc, North Korea was the sole nation in the region that missed the opportunity. This is because both China and Russian Federation were heavily pro-US back then, as the result, North Korea was left without the support a major power. So while everyone has been developing economy, North Korea had to spend large amount of resource on military and cope with the loss of critical supply chain from former USSR states. So no, Russia's lack of trade with North Korea were never about upsetting China. THEY WERE TRYING TO APPEASE TO USA!
North Korea's economic woes were never about "repressive" and every bit about security. This is why the key piece of Russia's recent visit to North Korea is actually the security pact. The bit of North Korea's immediate gain is also wrong. Submarines? Seriously? North Korea is going to compete against South Korea, the second largest shipmaker in the world in maritime equipment? They are not stupid. No, the actual focus in North Korea military is on precision missiles/artillery. Duh, Seoul (for those of you that are bad with geographic, that's the capital of South Korea, where half of the South Korea population is located) is only something like 20 miles from 38 degree parallel. Precision strike ability will allow North Korea forces at the cease fire line to directly strike at the South Korean leadership and that's true deterrent. Zelenskyy were able to comfortably sending Ukrainians to die because he isn't in danger of being killed himself. South Korean government would be way less eager for an attack on North Korea if they are in the risk of getting killed themselves.

It seems to me anyone in media or government in the west as soon as they open there mouths they either flag off russia or china, but the western economies that are failing

So now the US speeks for Europe?
I can't see China condemning Russia for the Ukraine War because they understand exactly what happened.
Unfortunately, the analysis on North Korea was way off.
