I'm going to say yes. Thats why the pressure exerted on Israel for a cease fire. Im betting with Yahua my Elohime. I'll take a cookie
Netanyahu is not center-right, is far-right allied with extreme-right. Also you forgot to notice how Netanyahu financed Hamas in past years as he saw them as an asset. The fear of hamas rockets is what kept Netanyahu in power, hence he propped them up for years.
As a 22 year old American from the Midwest. I’m not dying for Israel, Taiwan, or any other foreign country especially for a country that hates me anyway
Wow! I wrote a lot about the draft (my own exp Vietnam era) in my 3 DADT books (chk Amz). I'd love to see you wind up on Tim Pool's Timcast IRL live program (from W Va I think). It would be lively.
USA held Afghanistan for 20 years. That isn't exactly failing. Same as Vietnam. We just gave up invading, which is the key. The equivalent would actually be Afghanistan invading USA……no chance.
As an American, I actively make fun of anyone who joins the military out of a sense of patriotism.
Patriotism for what? Buttsex and Israel?
Oh good lord, Jews running out of money. I wonder what will happen when they stretch for more money
Unwatchable video. 5 mins in and it's still the intro. I don't care dude. Speak about the topic.
"give us a credit"
Yeah, Russia is sure losing lmao
I think that's always been the plan. WWIII and everyone thinks it's worth it to be sacrificed for the sake of the "chosen people" and that will get them into heaven. It's truly sick and unnecessary.

i just spawned on Earth and this video got me up to speed, thank you
ww3 already started we just wont realize it until its over
Hamas started it all, so, it would be theor fault.
I don’t care about either of them. This is clearly how they want to live. Since Israel has been a thing it’s been at war. Have at it and leave me out of it.
The tunnel in Gaza are death traps, the Israelis are flooding them. If that doesn’t work cutting ventilation power, water or adding CO2 gas will work. They could even send in drones with guns or explosives, some as small as a wasp. Plus Gaza is a small area all openings can be blocked or watched. The only thing Hamas has is hostages it slow this down….
Any straight white people, male or female, who join the military these days is crazy.
I’m scared of an American civil war causing a larger conflict at this point a weakened U.S. changes up the entire balance of world power and now seeing trump banned on the ballot in Colorado with possibly more states to follow makes me nervous of a civil war if the democrats win again in 2024
Don’t feel bad about our Middle East policy, there is no such thing as a rational policy in that region. It’s like a curse of insanity that affects all who are involved, chaos rules !
Thank you for saying rebel, and not relegating resistance to occupation as the gross t word DC loves to throw around willy nilly
yea dude no gen z like when army /navy/military recruiter comes to our school. everyone tries to avoid them cuz theyre not ever tryna join them
The Kurds are honestly and honorable people, I agree we have no geopolitical reason to support them. They live in a bad neighborhood, just like Ukrainians, Israelis, arminians and lots of other peoples. But the Turks are back stabbing nomads, same with the Arabs. You can never trust them and they are not friends or allies. It has nothing to do with the Kurds, they want to be a empire again.
We are not Rome, Rome couldn’t figure out how to transfer power, plus it lasted 2000 years, yes I count Byzantium empire. Plus Rome had many periods of corruption and decadence. We have too, our systems are more resilient and we don’t have an out side threat. We are in realignment of our politics, this happens every 50-80 years. The last was the 1920s and 1930s. Examples blacks ware republicans and the NE /midwest was GOP strong hold?! The democrats were the party of big business and the south/midwest
was there strong hold. Unions were not a thing until the 1920s or the urban poor.
You make good points when it comes to western culture but have massive biases when talking about other cultures. Would be great if you could collaborate with your counterparts in middle eastern culture (like caspian report) and other cultures. Otherwise it feels like listening to one sided propaganda.
Did Israel start this skirmish ?????? No …
What about the other way round, if Israel wants a war with Iran?
Does it matter?
I like this video
World War I Lesson #2: The US intervened in a European conflict that had reached stalemate. Same as Ukraine/Russia conflict as of today.
Given that the war is Russia's to lose, the question has always been whether Putin could overcome initial setbacks. By now, the Russians have reorganized and regrouped enough to take the Ukrainians – unless the US and Europe step up their support.
Will the US administration find the political wherewithal to continue support for Ukraine? I don't know, but in WWI, Americans were strongly isolationist and it took a succession of German mistakes like unrestricted submarine warfare to swing American public opinion around toward intervention.
Will Putin repeat Germany's mistakes? Time will tell….
Your intro makes me feel like I'm dodging cliffs with my jet in the 80s don't ever change it!
I agree with and sympathise with many of the points you made in this video. However the one point I can never agree with when its made is that "China will inevitably invade Taiwan". There is a smorgasbord of reasons why they won't. 1. They would lose all claim to be global champion of "peace and prosperity". 2. The resulting destruction of Taiwan's chip industry would crush the global economy and thus the CCP's grip on power. (the CCP depend on prospering economy to maintain their 'mandate of heaven') 3. Not invading Taiwan benefits the CCP's main interest (staying in power), as Taiwan acts as a boogeyman which Xi can continually point at as evidence of US interference/oppression of China, thus creating a rally-around-the-flag effect. 4. The US coming to defend Taiwan would strangle all Chinese overseas trade overnight, being like the WW1 blockade of Germany but far worse in scale and devastation, China would likely collapse politically. 5. Despite demographic doom-mongering, China still has a good couple decades left, and their only real deadline for this is *2049*. At risk of stating the obvious, the international scene will be wholly different in 25 years time, and, to Xi, who knows, maybe it will be more conducive then, or perhaps the Taiwanese will consent to annexation. 6. There is an election in Taiwan in less than a month which could see de-escalationists come to power in Taipei. Even if it doesn't happen then, there are many more elections before 2049 to see things change.
What college did you graduate from?
I would say no, I don't see it escalating past Iran, and if we're going by dominoes I think it probably started with Russia invading Ukraine.
These videos suck.
If the war in Ukraine isn’t causing a World War, I don’t think Israel/Palestine will.
This was very well said and the comparisons are terrifying, thank you for the realistic expectations and anxiety
I love porn
This is a hack historian channel. No way bro finished school
The christian prophecies came true…
Whatifallthis… what if… the probability that the future its written and that prophecies actually have a deeper meaning in history?
What would be the implications of a society that listens way more than the current one to prophecies?
Have you seen Miley and the prophecies of Parravicini? The similarities are uncanny.
16:45 lmao…. that's not probable at all….gaza is far too small for that
18:29
Also very unlikely to rally a majority of the population. In fact, many dissidents are hoping Israel bombs their government.
The majority of secular iranians hate the regime and are generally the least antisemitic Muslims in the world. Iranians and Jews get along very well in the west. I used to have a boomer aged Persian landlord and I would talk to him about Iran all the time…
I stand with Israel .
My younger brother would fight. He’s very strong, 16, and is blindly patriotic cause he thinks it’s cool and fun. I know he’d want to go, so this war had better not happen.
Part of the issue with the analysis is that the percentage of people that could join the military in the U.S. is so wrongly calculated. You could fake someone who had some anxiety or lower level depression or is overweight but not uselessly so and whip them into shape to fight. The military has had the luxury of ultimate choice and so raised the bar ridiculously high. It's almost like playing possum on the world to make them miscalculate. Give 6 months of training and PT under solid guidance and it would all work out fine.
Also, the degree if our dividedness as a nation is often grossly overstated. We are miles and miles from anything beginning to approach civil war. America has always been divided till we face any outside force. This is probably the same miscalculation the british made before the revolutionary war – and those 13 colonies had far less in common than we now have.
