      I have seen none. And even if it had, the amount of work that goes into one of these videos widely offsets any amount of $$$ you could earn unless you periodically racking up millions of views. Most non-corporative UA-cam channels are a labour of love.
      But before speaking about the political aspect, I think we need to lay some common groundwork, in order to keep the debate tidy and easy to understand.

      @CueBall69 Svalbard is important because of the Spitsbergen Treaty of 1920 that states that Norway has sovereignty over Svalbard but it cannot deploy any military prescense there. The rescources of Svalbard are free to be exploited by any company and from any nation. Russia has had a small coal mining town their for decades called Barentsburg with a population of around 500.
      The Arctic is of current intrest because of the large amounts of oil and gas in the area. However these are all under the ocean so far as we know of. The borders of the arctic are defined by the continental shelfs of the respective nation's territorities. Russia is the largest and most powerful player in the Arctic. It has built up it's military prescence in the Arctic recently as a means of projecting power.
      Anyway because the Treaty was written in 1920 it was really just about coal and not undersea oil and gas. By extending the borders of Svalbard to it's continental shelf, Russia and other nations can exploit a greater amount of rescources where it is completely free to do so because of the Svalbard Treaty.
      In addition, the melting of the ice has meant the opening up of a true North West passage between Europe and Asia which cuts the shipping distance of goods by half. When you're on the route of a possibly highly lucrative shipping lane, and you have large amounts of oil and gas reserves that are completly up for grabs, coupled with the fact that the corporate tax rate is 15% which is lower than Singapore and the government on Svalbard is very much libertarian in it's laws whilst having a strong legal system and not one that is horrifically complicated like Greenland, things are looking pretty good for Svalbard.
      TL;DR Melting ice and an old treaty that says all of it's natural rescources are up for grabs and the Norweigian government can't do shit means Svalbard could possibly become the Dubai of the Arctic.
      And that is what is happening in Svalbard.

One thing I really think you should've added was the nation's increasing distrust and approval ratings dropping even having the indigenous community dropping support. Evo Morales has been increasing attempts to extend his term. Another thing is he has installed party officals as heads of the military and police so no one would challenge his position as was so common during the cold war. Also one crucial thing you missed is Evo Morales and the government has changed to have party officals at non traditional government positions such as ambassadors and the electoral body. With this came a very hostile on look to western companies looking to invest. This is the same trend that Venezuela began to take and many in Bolivia are fearing that we are gonna turn out like Venezuela due to the increasing nationalisation of private assets.
    Great video and thank you for showing South American geopolitics !

      You know, Evo Morales makes it seem as if everything is ok in the country.
      He tells everyone that the country loves him and that he did nothing wrong, and we are like "dude come on, they can't be that stupid to not see what you are trying to do; you obviously are throwing this massive sea tantrum just to extend your presidency".
      Im happy to see that you Bolivians do know his true intentions, but you gotta make sure that you show the world that you know; because to the rest of the world y'all are looking like fools right now.

    at 0:20 you say "Agriculture makes less than 10% of CO2 emissions." This is true, but I think disingenuous, and doesn't justify ignoring it. Agriculture is estimated to produce 9% of CO2 emissions, still substantial, but also is estimated to produce around 35 - 40% of methane emissions. Which is a very serious greenhouse gas. Along with other emissions, agriculture is assumed to produce around 18% of greenhouse gases. This doesn't even take into account the other impacts agriculture has on the environment like land use.

      Ever since Brazil has continued to elect PT into power since 2003, the economy has remained stagnant and the government has devolved into an incredible amount of corruption. Bolsanaro may be crazy, but at least his economic minister is from the Chicago School and will probably implement some much needed reforms to get the country growing again.

      The thing about natural resources is the "Resource Course", which basically states that if a poor, corrupt country discovers bountiful natural resources, it will only aggravate inequality and instability. However, if a country already has developed institutions and a friendly business environment, it will benefit enormously from natural resources. Look at America, Canada, Norway, Australia, Israel, and several other stable democracies that have benefitted hugely from their abundant natural resources. Countries that were already dirt poor, corrupt, and unstable that were ruined by natural resources include Venezuela, most African countries, Russia (horribly undeveloped and relies entirely on oil revenue), Brazil, Mexico (which is barely improving its business environment), Central Asia, etc.

      @KonyCurrentYear 5 років тому +9

      @@abuhammad * sigh * I am talking about a place that for centuries has been at the crossroads of trade and intercultural exchange for several thousand years. With the advent of the One Belt, One Road initiative, China is investing billions into infrastructure in order to help faciltate trade with the West. China is building railroads for trains that deliver cargo faster than cargo ships but have more capacity than plane. Not only that but this region is much more free from U.S military influence than the ocean where the U.S has the largest navy in the world.
      It's not just being on a lucrative trade route. The Karachaganak natural gas reserves obetween Kazhakstan and Russia hold an estimates 42 trillion cubic feet of natural gas, as well as liquefied gas and crude oil. Turkmenistan controls the fourth largest natural gas supplies in the world at 700 trillion cubic feet. The mines of Uzbekistan and Kyrgyzstan in the Tian Shan belt have the second largest gold deposits in the world. Berylium and dysphrosium 'rare earth' minerals are also found that are crucial to modern electronics as well as supplies of uranium and plutonium. Russia and Ukraine have the some of the richest and most fertile soil in the world. Afghanistan is the largest exporter of opium poppy based products in the world which includes morphine and heroin.
      This is a region of huge geostrategic importance. Just because it fell behind after the advent of the trans-oceanic shipping of goods in the 15th, 16th and 17th centuries from Portugal and the Netherlands which brain4breakfast explained about in his 'What the Gulf' video, doesn't mean there isn't going to be another shift back towards Central Asia. If you look back, the Near East, Middle East, Central Asia and the Far East have had much more importance historically speaking than Europe prior to the advent of deepwater navigation and European colonialism. That is the whole point of the book you haven't read.

Although there are many problems with India, it is a democracy unlike China which by the 2040’s and 2050’s will have serious problems with its people now being more educated. Especially since India has allied with nations such as a Vietnam, Laos, Cambodia, Indonesia, Malaysia, and other smaller steppe nations to oppose China’s imperialistic initiative.

    Agriculture may account for less than 10% of *CO2* emissions, but they account for about a QUARTER of all *greenhouse gas* emissions! Please do not spread this kind of misinformation.

      One of the reason is because some developed countries already have the technology how to reduce use of fertile land for agriculture, It will be just a matter of time before we could even farm in deserts. Only third world developing countries who still have to rely on environmental desctruction. However, for fuel we still haven't found the alternative source other than fossil fuel like in the video.

What is new is taking carbon that has been underground for millions of years and putting it back into the atmosphere. Also burning wood is carbon-neutral, you had to extract the carbon out of the air first before you can burn it, not out of the earth.
