@@dinmorerfedoggrim bc they don’t have to! 😂 to Europeans, American conservatives are already heartless monsters anyway. Gabbard switched from the good guys to the bad guys? Evil! Not to mention she thinks there’s some kind of “gray” when it comes to war. Everyone knows it’s only black and white, good or evil
I've got a picture on my computer that says the following: "One of the serious problems in planning against American doctrine is that the Americans do not read their manuals nor do they feel any obligations to follow their doctrine." - From a Russian document "The reason that the American army does so well in wartime, is that war is chaos, and the American army practices chaos on a daily basis." - A German general officer "If we don't know what we are doing, the enemy certainly can't anticipate our future actions!" - Anon
That’s the thing tho, people mock when Bush unfurled the “Mission Accomplished”, but for them that really was the end of the mission. The subsequent chaos in Iraq & countless other examples isn’t an “oopsie”, weak and/or fractious states is a perfectly acceptable outcome for the US, human cost be damned. Chaos isn’t some new phenomenon introduced by Trump… the idea that the US has been too rigidly guided by “rules” to compete with autocracies is hilarious
@@TheStormtrooper00 Politically, maybe. Militarily we have an awesome power that the politicians and ROE consistently interfere with operations for public perception. Basically every "failed" war was because of restrictions from politicians and having no clear objectives, which again, comes from the politicians. Desert Storm is the best example of the US "taking the kid gloves off," so to speak, and there was still political backlash from the dominant military display and their methods. Too many people want things and have no idea how awful and brutal war is for their broad objectives.
@@TheStormtrooper00 what are you talking about? Afghanistan? The US took out the Taliban in 3 weeks and ruled the country for 20 years before deciding to leave. Vietnam? The US had about 1000 Vietcong killed for every 1 American soldier, but couldn't nation build. Not even as bad as how the French and Chinese did against Vietnam, how the Soviets and British did in Afghanistan, or how the British did against the US in 1776. The only "losses" the US has taken on in fields that have nothing to do with military prowess, in fighting guerrilla forces who can lose every battle, but still have some people left who come out of the shadows once the US leaves, or in nation building. But in that, all major world powers through history have "lost" wars
Not sure why some people here are saying this is anti-Trump, this argues that in a world where the existing political economic order is being exploited by Authoritarian countries that have been making gains and cannot be restricted under the system, chaotic actors like Trump may bring higher risk and instead utilize existing advantages to renew US hegemony. I don't like Trump myself, but this is an unusual perspective to be sure.
@@tealefti simply because all of this chaos erupted under a president who was unfit for the job. If Trump is a chaotic factor bc of how he acts, how much more chaos can be caused by someone who can’t control how they act? All of the chaos in the world was allowed to appear under the current administration, which didn’t even get a mention. Just to emphasize, I do understand Trump is a chaotic factor, but no one, EVER, has issued a pardon for ALL CRIMES over the course of TEN YEARS. If that is not “testing the endurance of American institutions” I don’t know what is.
@@theliato3809 tried what? Withdraw from Afghanistan? Slow roll Ukraine aid to the point they need an off-ramp or risk destruction? Building advanced chip plants in Arizona as a hedge against PRC leveling Taiwan and 90% of global advanced chip production with it? Yeah we gave it the college try alright.
Bro said everyone stopped following the global rules but completely skipped the Western world being the first to break the very rules they ought to uphold. The loss of the bragging rights was in fact self inflicted. If you don't respect the system you say you want to ensure, nobody else will respect the cause for your power.
"Chaos isn't a pit. Chaos is a ladder. Many who try to climb it fail and never get to try it again. The fall breaks them. And some are given a chance to climb. They refuse. They cling to the realm or the gods or love. Illusions. Only the ladder is real. The climb is all there is" - Petyr Baelish
Chaos may be a ladder, but a ladder that leads to a pit that makes u fall down on the feet of the chaos ladder again. Infinitely so. Insanity. To make order out of chaos is key for stability and true growth. While the order of the western libdralism is out of date and out of touch, doesnt mean they have to fall down the ways of chaos. They have to use it, and see where to build new order from it, with a position of strength.
To the fellow Americans in the comment section the author sounds like a left wing democrat from an US perspective but he is from Europe and from a European perspective he is right of center.
I also think the ideas of war or social revolution typically require a huge crisis to precipitate them, typically it requires things getting objectively bad, not just relatively, and/or a lot of rights and freedoms being ripped away at once. Social revolution requires at least some people with power to decide to go against the system - but in the US no one from the lower middle class on up has a good reason to foment a revolution. Working class has roots, ties, friendships, families that give no reason to blow all that up in a violent revolution. Mass protests are possible if things went really south.
Yep. We have serious issues in the US. But people online often exaggerate them or underestimate how comfortable most Americans still actually are in the grand scheme of things.
@phantomwarrior6825 that top. They're all much bigger, stronger, and generally have a more constant presence in everyone's lives than they historically have.
@@chickenfishhybrid44yeah, in terms of material comforts, Americans live well. One thing western nations are facing is collapsing social institutions. Families, marriages, friendships, communities, schools, churches, etc are all weaker and still crumbling. Having worked in the adolescent mental health field for 20 years, I’ve seen how this feeds into the general despair and mental health crisis (which is particularly bad among youth). The fact that the west was had a long period of increasing peace, prosperity, comfort and convenience also feeds into the hysteria. People’s general tolerance to hardship and adversity wanes over long periods of comfort and the period of peace/prosperity/comfort in the west from 1950 until recently is more or less unparalleled in history. So the hardships we have feel even harder because of the low tolerance. We might be able to reset that, but it won’t be pretty. Western nations also have much less belief/confidence in their traditions and culture.
@@chickenfishhybrid44less developed nations tend to have stronger social institutions than we have, though those institutions of course have issues too. Less developed nations certainly have a higher general tolerance to hardship and adversity. Even developed nations like Poland have a much higher resilience in the face of hardship because of their history, they have much more recent memories of catastrophe (ww2), they don’t take things for granted in the way we do. Miguel de Unamuno wrote a lot on this, his concept of “the tragic sense of life”, the awareness that everything you love can vanish tomorrow. People in countries not lulled into complacency by long periods of peace/comfort, I’d argue they live more fully. They have a more healthy relationship with hardship, death, loss, etc.
We're all thinking the same thing. The world is so volatile right now, with all these conflicts, its only gonna take one match being lit to set the entire thing off. Thats whats scary. Look at that handshake at 5:51. Pulled Putin halfway across the room. Bet he didnt forget that.
I think this is one of your best videos yet. I'll be watching this video over and over again for the next four years to better understand how the new geopolitical system is going to be.
Dont you think it is a little bit obssesive or unhealthy to do that? There is a science called political analysis and there are online courses avilable to help you filter political noise and focus on important events that AI is not able to do currently.
@Kalo953 i already do watch and read things of current events. But the video that he made has really good takeaways. So throughout the next 4 years, I'll be watching this video periodically to see how it compares to the real world. I think you're the obsessive one that thinks others literally mean there going to watch this non-stopover and over again. Nothing wrong with watching key videos over again to get takeaways from and compare them over time
Not sure which point is made here. You need chaos to fight chaos? It is true that for the 'China group' ( China, Russia, Iran, North Korea) the rules of the game are whatever suites them, a bit unpredicatble, though not nearly as chaotic as presented here. The west is indeed less nimble ( less chaotic?) because it is rule based(mostely). But its relative consitency also creates a relative stable group of countries that work together. Russias invasion of Ukraine was an (relative) unpredictable action and it immediately unbalanced the whole 'China group'. The western group was not so unbalanced because in their rule book, the disolution of a whole country on their strategic border was not acceptable. So their response was fairly unified(though a bit to hesitant). In the years after that, Russia lost its aura as a world player, Iran lost most of its allies in the middle east and china sees its economic position threatend. Why? Because they have no common ground. What discomforts one partner may be irrelevant to the other. After all its only an 'alliance' of circumstance. Not of shared values. Trump threatens to bring the same dynamic into the western alliance. It weakens the west and it will weaken the USA. Erosion of trust is a very dangerous thing
We have a saying: trust comes on foot and leaves on a galloping horse. And Trump being a loud, undiplomatic and untrusted leader does indeed not bode well for the atlantic alliance.
Bullshit. Bidens weakness allowed russia to invade with no negative consequences. Putin knew that after invading when biden was VP in 2014. Biden was weak again in 2022 and was such a pussy he hesitated giving Kiev Tanks for years. Trump oversaw 4 years of peace. He can't do any worse than Biden. Who care about Aura? Russia has instead gained hundreds of kilometers of territory all under democrat leadership. China's economy began getting taken down by a trade was started by trump. A trade war thatvwas deemed by many to be impossible. Europe needs America more than America needs europe. Europe will kiss the ring and follow where trump leads as they know who is the boss. Europe has sunk its money in Healthcare, not warfare and is thus weak and dependent on the US.
You're wrong about unbalanced Russia and China. The Russian attack to Ukraine was measured and coordinated geopolitical by step of Russia and China to overcome West.
@@MrVitconst I doubt that China was fully aware of it. Its reaction was hesitant in the beginning. China had reasonable good relations with Ukraine. It imported about 800M dollars of food from them. I'm quite certain that China was annoyed because it upset their normal game of push and prod against the USA hegemony.
Your definition of the "order" and "predictability" is too America-centric. If you cannot comprehend something it is not inherently random. Most of the countries you listed in 8:39 were just acting independently, not under American control. The rest of your analysis is based on the assumption of pre-Trump America being that idea of order, which is not the case at all. In fact, if you think independence action is chaos, then I'd rather be chaotic than predictable
Gotta love the Trumpers that watched the first 3 minutes of this video decided it was 'anti-trump' and left comments on this videos 'bias' with no further explanation.
Skepticism is a natural response with so much of the media (and UA-camrs) having Trump Derangement Syndrome. People don't want to reward that with added watch time on a video.
I watched the whole video, but his open bias against Tulsi was damning. Ultimately, this channel seems to want America to continue in a roughly neoconservative trajectory, at least as far as foreign policy goes. Even if he admits Trump's strategy may have merit.
5:20 That is the best explanation I have ever heard about trump and the way he likes to do things. I'm actually quite stunned.That is the most truest statement I ever heard. I'm canadian, so I see what's going on, literally right across the border, and my country is going through this process right now with Trump.
Elon Musk earns his money honestly. Trump, while serving as president, lost hundreds of millions and refused his salary, donating it to a veterans’ hospital. Unlike Trump, Nobel Prize scoundrel Obama and Biden enriched themselves by millions. Trump assembled an excellent team to crush the socialist rot that has engulfed our country.
Your balance of trade map is definitely inaccurate in regards to Australia. We've had a trade surplus for at least the past 4 financial years, and I would assume longer, but checking on the Australian Bureau of Statistics site requires downloading files to confirm data beyond that and I couldn't be bothered. Where did you get the data for the balance of trade from, and when does it date to? Also I just want to add - you guys do a phenomenal job, so sorry if I sound like I'm being critical, I just wanted to point out something that was confusing to me and seeking clarification. If it's a mistake or the data is conflicting from different sources, all good, the fact remains you guys make incredible content and I want you to know how much I appreciate your work, so thank you.
The ending was so real. Nobody is grateful for the things that they take for granted today. We don't starve to death, we have healthcare, and we have the internet, yet we compare ourselves to our neighbors. To wish for equality is to lie on one's self. For the world is just a giant perpetual poker game.
@@mysterioanonymous3206 To achieve fairness is impossible, the best you can do is achieve the best results for your own group. Everyone else understands this except the West (We used to.)
This is maybe the best video i have watched that sums up the latest political developments in the most factual and nuanced way. Anybody who feels triggered by that is already a victim to the ideological contamination that they’re exposed through the mass media outlets that teamed up with the current influential elites that trump represents. It is not a left or right or democrat or republican thing. It is just what it is, and I want to thank you for using your valuable time to carefully collect and articulate information like that which is unimaginably difficult within the ongoing label war and outrage consumerism. Don’t let yourself get discouraged by the comments and the upset emotions that you might have triggered and keep on doing your work.
There is this phrase often used by academics of geopolitics: "Don't listen to what leaders say. Watch what they do" Trump is very good at putting on a show, so that's how his words should be taken as: acting for the camera
That explains why he lies so much and rarely answers questions directly. Like how he said he disavowed project 2025 but now that he’s elected he said there are some good ideas in there.
Great video, I saw that your Polish-language channel has more subscribers than the English-language one. I am really surprised as the content here is top notch by any standards. Your channel should be much more popular.
Wealth is not a pie. Inequality of outcome isn’t necessarily a bad thing. There should be an emphasis and goal of equality of opportunity, not outcome. If you took all of the rich people’s wealth and redistributed it this will not solve anything for the long term. Wealth is a measure of productivity. Capitalism and free market free from government intervention, choking and manipulation of the economy, wages and prices will be beneficial for everyone
The problem is that without certain degree of income redistribution, maintaing equality of opportunity becomes impossible. I don't mean handouts but stuff such as a healthcare system that is available to everyone and not just to people with money. Or proper funding of law enforcement. Or an education system that is on a decent level across the board. Or the public infrastructure. A kid who's cold, hungry, sick and goes to a low quality school where his man effort has to be focused on not becoming a victim of violence will never be able to compete with a kid who's safe, has access to talented teachers, great healthcare and on top of that his parents have connections that can facilitate a great start for his career when he grows up. Let that happen for a few generations and you end up with a hereditary aristocracy that has to try very hard to fail while most of the poor just try to stay afloat - and often don't succeed even at that. The latter may eventually conclude that the game is rigged against them so much that the best course of action is to flip the table and start anew. Unfortunately flipping the table is usually very costly and I don't mean just money. Blood tends to flow when that happens.
@@liquidrock8388 the fallacy here is thinking that true free market capitalism causes monopolies or inflations or bad living conditions. These problems are actually caused by government intervention/manipulation of the economy and cronyism in one way or another. In a true free market system everyone would be able to get cheap prices and quality for healthcare and education, which is all private and not controlled by interests and a government that have no incentive to provide quality for free. Education should not be uniform. Parents know what skills or subjects their children need to learn. Subjective theory of value makes sense here. As for ‘safety nets’ and social programs for people with real problems (like someone who lost their house in a flood), I support it on a voluntary basis only where people help their family and neighbors, something like ‘gofundme’. It should never be compulsory taxation through state power. Some will say then how is it ensured that they will get help? I’ll say it’s in human nature to help as evidenced by the millions who give to charity and the internet is a great method of communication to make these unfortunate people get help.
the good old "everything will be perfect in a perfectly free market". dude, with wealth they get power and influence and bend the rules of the state in their favor. and if its not them then its going to be other countries. the world is a battlefield and no free market is going to synchronize it like a swiss clock.
@@user-pvmdmtl free market by itself does not cause bad living conditions - to the contrary, countries without a free market economy tend to be poorer. That said, for a free market to work it needs to be... well, free. If you let bilionaires run the show they will make sure that their positions remain secure and they do NOT have to face competition. That's exactly what's happening in the US right now. Also - the idea that "parents know what their children need to learn" is ridiculous. Yes, successful, well educated parents probably do. Unsuccessful, ignorant ones do not. Even with a decent public education system poverty is way too often inherited simply because children lack good role models at home and adopt the very same mindset that caused their parents to fail. You can't seriously expect that poor people can teach their kids how to be successful.
While I have mixed opinions on this topic and your video I will say, trump has full control over both houses of Congress and the supreme court. He has effective immunity and repealed shamrock. There is some merit to your idea that this term will be far more unhinged if he so chooses.
Full control? There are many RINOs that specifically can't wait to backstab him for making them actually do work to support their bases. Also his supreme court picks have been very disappointing because they make a show of standing down or making anti-Trump decisions so they can attend DC parties. But you fell for the "immunity" bs so you don't care what anyone right of you thinks. He has immunity from being sued for his presidential actions. If he unloads a glock in Pelosi that would be impeachable and then jailable for murder as murder is not the duty of the President.
The best cure for poverty is to ensure everyone starts out with a basic monthly income to meet all their needs, no strings attached. A #UniversalBasicIncome, as it's known.
6:20 So? being anti woke doesn't mean being homophobic, that's why Trump can easily appoint an openly gay ,man or are people still pretending to know what woke means? Trump was literally the first President to openly support gay marriage, no wonder some people are calling this video anti Trump.
@@Aleks96 It was very obviously implied that him appointing Hegseth to get rid of wokeness while also appointing an openly gay man was odd somehow, look at that part of the video again. He certainly has a left wing view of Trump besides the part about Trump being unpredictable being potentially a good thing perhaps.
@@AnonymousVenator He is neutral about Trump because he doesn't really know what to expect from Trump. This channel is a European or rather Polish perspective on American politics.
@@AnonymousVenator This channel is of course for the Western world order and pro-NATO because it is in Poland's interest. But whether Trump is an opponent of the Woke in America is irrelevant to this channel, as long as it does not negatively affect America's allies, it is not important.
It is interesting that you say it is Russia and China who "break the rules" and are unpredictable. From my observation, it is US and its allies who do not follow international agreements and break all the rules. I wonder why you say Russia had no intention of following the Minsk agreements, when it was actually only Russia who tried to implement them, and Ukraine , supported by Germany and France, who continually refused to implement the agreements? There is a reason why US and 'the West' talk about "the rules based order" rather than "international law". Law requires compliance, while rules can easily be broken. Generally, it is USA who breaks those rules, and then tries to establish new rules more favourable to itself.
@@Zyzyx442 oh im not knowledgeable nor wise enough to know what is *the* *model*. look, different models and theories are useful for interpreting different aspects of things. there are economic models, psychological theories, political theories, interdisciplinary models like game theory and so on.
@@Qnexus7 Sure I will concede to that point, but still out of all the models I have studied and used game theory is the best, and I've never heard a good counter argument against it. Best attempt was a documentary a long time ago that viewed game theory as inherently capitalist because some firms on wallstreet use it in their trainee programs and sought to disprove it, they took in random people on the street in pairs and used the classic experiment prisoners dilemma choose blindly where they get 50 bucks if both cooperate, none if both takes and if one takes all and other cooperate the takes all get 100 bucks, according to classic game theory you gain the most to choose take all and the people almost always chose cooperate and the documentary makers said this disproved game theory, but what they didn't take into account was the social aspect of their experiment the people in the were interviewed and filmed, and nobody wants to come off as greedy morally corrupt person, that is a social cost that is higher penalty than 100 bucks and so game theory proves it's explanatory power again if you take in all aspects, that is why I think it's the best, you have to include all variables, not just economics.
@Zyzyx442 oh man, thats interesting. But game theory implementation and effects go way deeper than that. There is some cool wholesome video on veritasium on game theory but i suggest to watch the british documentary called "the trap" - 2007 made by adam curtis, if you want to taste how deep the rabbit hole goes.
Tulsi is a Lt. colonel in the reserves. The current lady in that position was the deputy director of the CIA before that, but before that, she was in public affairs and a law assistant. Then boom deputy director. I think Tulsi will do just fine.
When democracy is "threatened" because the people got to choose their leader, because they chose a populist. The bureaucracy will shift from saying democracy is about protecting the people and instead say democracy is about protecting the institutions.
Large swaths of this analysis are dishonest: social inequality isn't a problem in and of itself, and neither is the GINI coefficient. People not being able to survive is the problem. Living in a society with a high GINI coefficient but being able to eat is infinitely better than living in an equal society where everybody starves. Rapid inflation is much more of a problem in people's actual lives than the rich getting richer.
@DudeNoEdge can you walk me through your logic on "inequality always decreases freedom"? That's an extreme statement - anything with an "always" is pretty easy to deflate - and historically, trying to ensure equality results in extreme constraints on freedom, so...
@@bicker31 wealth inequality contributes to social stratification that hinders social mobility. wealth concentration creates power imbalances that shape policies to favor the rich, leaving the poor outside the boat. even if absolute living standards improve, inequality deepens systemic barriers. the left has the heart in the right place on economics but the good old saying is also true that "capitalism is good at creating but poor at distributing and communism is bad at creating but good at distributing". look the whole system should be fair towards all, meaning that politics cant be the butlers of the elites, and the lowest of the society can't just be locked up or left behind inhumanly. ideally everyone is covered on the basics and gets a fair, not privileged, chance to climb the ladders. identity politics was always the tool for a war amongst the poor. p.s. what happend to our fear of mega corp dystopia. we've had it since the 80's and now that its peaking we've all accustomed.
6:13 that's a wrong description of game theory. You know how often you should fold pocket aces preflop. 0%. Most often, poker is still chess. The cards play themselves. It is at the point of margin or at the indifference curve that one is allowed to randomise strategy. When small differences make or break a winning strategy. As someone who did economics and poker, I do not think Trump is strategically capable. He is very weak strategically speaking, but he has one other thing up his sleeve. Tactics. He can fight 1v1. He is the typical management student. Highly optimised tactical prowess. However, he is bad at randomisation. He is random, but of the imitating kind. Truly random. A loose aggressive in poker. He just fights to win, not to win money. He plays battles that aren't his, just because he can. He is highly predictable. He wants to win. The only thing you need him to do is make him feel like he's won. People will perceive him as random but he isn't. He has clear objectives. It is just that the people around him force him to be more strategic. He is bad at that. He does not even think strategy is too valuable, but he is dependent on it. He couldn't be arsed about the future of the United States, if it meant his family would be secured. He minimizes strategy in terms of the United States. The United States acts on reduced aggregate strategy when he's in office. This exploitative nature works effectively in the short run. He does clearly know how to move around game theory, but he would be exactly the kind of dumb dumb that does not know how to game theory resolve in the centipede game, like most management students. The way to resolve the centipede game is to both forwards and backwards induct at the same time, with both people. To have both instinctively understand trust without communication. This is critical to the understanding of game theory, but trump would be so concerned winning, that he would like every stupid management student end the game right away, causing me to asses the situation, and act likewise in order to be symmetric and consequential. The typical rout to the bottom initiative synomous with exploitation of resources, that makes me and everyone annoyed. That is why he is so concerned with loyalty, because in the centipede game you need to trust. He wants the security guarantee before game starts. Because he has been fooled around in the past he is anxious about losing. That is truly his fear. Losing. He will get a deal where probably Trump "wins" and Russia wins. Who cares about the losers. Who cares about America and Ukraine 10 years down the road. He will be dead anyways. He will have to told Melania many times at the dinner table. What is Geostrategic even supposed to mean? What is strategic ambiguity even? What is strategy? If you say he's strategic you don't know about the distinction of tactics v strategy.
To people who want to win, it is hard to make them lose, but it is easy to make them not care. If you can make them look away, not considering the weight of the issue, you get situations like Libya where thousands die because he can't be arsed to read the daily briefing.
"He couldn't be arsed about the future of the United States, if it meant his family would be secured." How does that work when the presidency has brought his family nothing but trouble?
@@theliato3809 again, read the entire segment. He is bad geostrategically, and wants to win, and is great tactically speaking. That comment is a very geostrategic comment. That is exactly his limitation. That very ordinary understanding. Also, he is just too concerned about winning to not be very reflective. If you just go to a university management course first year you see half of the students are like him. Only difference he had people he could trust. He had a network that made him supreme. A neverending thirst of winning, so prevalent that it would be eligible for a ego disorder. He isn't very exploitative, but he is if he has to. He prefers expansionism, the colonisation of his own ego, the extension of himself. The Trump brand, but it is especially in his darkest hour that he becomes exploitative. That he clings to power at all cost, and he his willing to drag everyone down with him if he has to.
At the risk of sounding pedantic (and I am sorry, this is more an intellectual exercise than a critique), I'm going to argue you a little there about the aces pre-flop. If I'm big blind, have aces, and 7 other players are all-in before me and I get eliminated if I lose (all my chips are down), and its early in the tournament (blinds are small), its not an auto-call. Position, amount of players in the hand (and thus, the dilution of your hand because other aces are likely to be held by other all-in players), your chips remaining, the speed of the blinds going up in that particular tournament or lack-thereof, the reading of the players around you, and probably a few others, all affect your decision. The win percentage on pocket aces against 7 other players with hands worthy of going all in is actually rather low; you might have the highest, but your own personally chances are unacceptably low despite the possible gains. Granted, there are very few circumstances where anyone would do such a thing, but its not inconceivable to fold pre-flop. Furthermore, I think very, very, very few people would ever have the self-control to do so even if the math called for fold. That nick-picking aside, I agree with the overall sentiment of your comment, especially about Trump's capabilities. His chaos is inherent and couldn't be reigned in if his life depended on it. What helped him out was being the President of the US in his last term; that affords you a lot of leeway. Imagine if he were President of a country with much less power and you can also imagine things going south very quickly.
@JohnDoe-fo7yi yeah, immediate, there is an exception, I know. But I would hate it, and that's only with massive icm implications. I don't know what solvers would do 1 away from the button, and how scared I would be, but funnily enough I haven't looked at it. While interesting as an extreme consideration, if I will always lose the maximum when this situation occurs I lose nothing. That is it is such a statistical anomaly in poker to 1 be playing tournament, 2 be playing with icm, and 3 get aces when action. I kind of would hate that position ngl, but for the sake of argument, it just doesn't hit as hard saying "I would play aces almost always with willing and able to shove pre." Makes it unnecessarily complicated. Sometimes you gotta be a bit snappy. Bit simplifying life.
This is a pretty good analysis, but there is more to the government than the Executive branch. There is congress (legislative, arguably the most important branch), and the Judicial branch. While there is a full Republican majority in the federal government, the democrats still hold significant power in the government as their congressmen like Chuck Schumer are leaders in the most powerful congressional committees and subcommittees. Also, democrats practically control ALL of the cities in the US through local elections. Almost every single city in the US has a heavy democrat majority. Most academics in the top universities are democrat as well. So Trump may seem like he has a lot of power right now, but it’s not even close to total control. I just hope his immigration, economic, and foreign policy will have good effects for the US, I don’t really care that much about the other issues right now.
"anyone trying to unravel [Trumps political appointments] is doomed to failure" - NO. You are just looking at these appointments in terms of US foreign policy towards the outside world. These appointments are focused on internal US issues. This applies to normally outward facing cabinet positions. Pete Hegseth, a retired US Army Colonel, was appointed as SecDef to scrub DEI from the US DoD, not travel the world in the way Llyod Austin has.
Very "equal-income" countries feature enormous "wealth-inequality". Additionally, their elites have been mostly the same families for literal hundreds of years 🇩🇰 🇳🇱 ... The huge income taxes successfully limits new power players arising from markets innovation. There is hardly any effective change of course, or it takes too long. The entire country becomes TOO predictable; stagnated. Effectively a fish tank with the population inside, controlled by old elites and the government.

I don’t understand why people say Trump is unpredictable. He says everything he does at rallies and on social media. Id say the dictators listed are much more unpredictable, he’s not out here keeping mouth shut on anything.
He said he will lower groceries prices, then after elected said it was not possible. He also said war in Ukraine would end in 24 and later on said it was more complicated. He also said he will go after his political opponent and we have to see on that one. Now he's threatening to invade Panama and take greenland
I like how we started to admit that the West was still influencing Ukraine in a way that Russia finds unacceptable and the only argument that is left: "they are a sovereign nation and decide for themselves", but we all know that it's not true.
Why so much speculation on Trump? He's the simplest person. He says whatever is the most convenient to placate or rile up his supporters, and likes to act like a bully making threats, but then backing down when people offer him terms that "make him look good". He is transactional, so he can be bought therefore rich people like Musk and SBF will benefit the most within the US, and authoritarians like Sisi and MBS outside the US.
Trump is a frickin con man and my fellow Americans who fell under his cultish spell will have to suffer with the rest of us but will NEVER ADMIT their mistake

The amount of people in "Big Tech" involved in an administration depends on what era of Big Tech. you are talking about. The Steel and Railroad and Banking and other manufacturing/finance magnates of the past held sway in many administrations, notably FDR's administration.
If the US goes through with its' "Panama ambitions" I don't want to hear anyone say "Russia is so evil, NATO is the saint peace keeper". The world wide community needs to sanction and restrict the USA if that happens
Can’t restrict or sanction the country that provides the world with money, market access, military protection, and is the country that makes the world we see today work if the tries the USA would laugh and at the world say finally we have excuse to leave the world stage for good and go back to being self reliant and strong, we don’t need the world the world needs us and that’s not something you contest because I would win that argument with facts and references

Your content is usually excellent and enjoyable. However, some constructive criticisms are in order. Often you speak of "Ground Need" to help avoid blind spots in reporting. Unfortunately, you have fallen for Leftist propaganda, by accepting the premise of a so-called "war of LGBT". Also the one about Tulsi Gabbard being a Russian asset or sympathizer. Both are ridiculous and just factually wrong. Think freely.

This portrayal of Trump as irrational, chaotic, or idiotic is extremely short-sighted and a losing strategy.... Trump's success against powerful enemies doesn't happen by chance or with luck alone.
Nobody said idiotic. I'm not sure why this video conflicts with some of his voters God like views of him, it's factually true that Trump is embracing chaos as a strategy. He wouldn't threaten 25% tarrifs on his biggest trade partners or discuss the annexation of Canada or the Panama canal if that weren't true. He's using it as leverage both with Americas allies and as a warning to its enemies.
What successes exactly? His administration was a Reagen type economy - short sighted with a recession following it, with no international achievements, except for cutting off the Afghan government so that Biden can take the blame, and an empty game of threats in the Middle East. I swear, the American culture war has melted people's brains to pulp...
@generaltom6850 The creators (much like the liberal media) have had to admit that "Trump's Chaos" is deliberate. It is just a last ditch excuse for losing. My belief is that it is not Trump who is chaotic. It is, in fact, the establishments response to Trump, which is Chaotic. (Censorship, lies, sabotage, corruption, assassination attempts, lawfare, Covid, election manipulation, war escalation, etc) Trump, devoid of the intense response from the "establishment," is essentially a throwback politician to a previous era.
I dont hear them say irrational and idiotic. They argue he acts "chaotic" as a strategy. And they dont really judge or predict if that will ultimately be a good strategy,

What is "outright dangerous" about Tulsi Gabbard. You don't even try to legitimize this ludicrous claim.
More and more your leaning towards biased opinions and are no longer a good source of information
@@dinmorerfedoggrim She will twist information to fit her narrative. Example: her denying Assad used chemical weapons in Syria.
@@dinmorerfedoggrim bc they don’t have to! 😂 to Europeans, American conservatives are already heartless monsters anyway. Gabbard switched from the good guys to the bad guys? Evil! Not to mention she thinks there’s some kind of “gray” when it comes to war. Everyone knows it’s only black and white, good or evil
I've got a picture on my computer that says the following:
"One of the serious problems in planning against American doctrine is that the Americans do not read their manuals nor do they feel any obligations to follow their doctrine."
- From a Russian document
"The reason that the American army does so well in wartime, is that war is chaos, and the American army practices chaos on a daily basis."
- A German general officer
"If we don't know what we are doing, the enemy certainly can't anticipate our future actions!"
- Anon
''The reason that the American army does so well in wartime''.In which war?because as far as i know,they lose most of them.
That’s the thing tho, people mock when Bush unfurled the “Mission Accomplished”, but for them that really was the end of the mission. The subsequent chaos in Iraq & countless other examples isn’t an “oopsie”, weak and/or fractious states is a perfectly acceptable outcome for the US, human cost be damned. Chaos isn’t some new phenomenon introduced by Trump… the idea that the US has been too rigidly guided by “rules” to compete with autocracies is hilarious
@@TheStormtrooper00what? When? They win most of them!
@@TheStormtrooper00 Politically, maybe. Militarily we have an awesome power that the politicians and ROE consistently interfere with operations for public perception. Basically every "failed" war was because of restrictions from politicians and having no clear objectives, which again, comes from the politicians.
Desert Storm is the best example of the US "taking the kid gloves off," so to speak, and there was still political backlash from the dominant military display and their methods. Too many people want things and have no idea how awful and brutal war is for their broad objectives.
@@TheStormtrooper00 what are you talking about? Afghanistan? The US took out the Taliban in 3 weeks and ruled the country for 20 years before deciding to leave. Vietnam? The US had about 1000 Vietcong killed for every 1 American soldier, but couldn't nation build. Not even as bad as how the French and Chinese did against Vietnam, how the Soviets and British did in Afghanistan, or how the British did against the US in 1776. The only "losses" the US has taken on in fields that have nothing to do with military prowess, in fighting guerrilla forces who can lose every battle, but still have some people left who come out of the shadows once the US leaves, or in nation building. But in that, all major world powers through history have "lost" wars
You sure triggered a lot of viewers, but I think it's good to have a variety of viewpoints. Dont let it discourage you. Thanks!
Not sure why some people here are saying this is anti-Trump, this argues that in a world where the existing political economic order is being exploited by Authoritarian countries that have been making gains and cannot be restricted under the system, chaotic actors like Trump may bring higher risk and instead utilize existing advantages to renew US hegemony. I don't like Trump myself, but this is an unusual perspective to be sure.
@@tealefti simply because all of this chaos erupted under a president who was unfit for the job. If Trump is a chaotic factor bc of how he acts, how much more chaos can be caused by someone who can’t control how they act? All of the chaos in the world was allowed to appear under the current administration, which didn’t even get a mention. Just to emphasize, I do understand Trump is a chaotic factor, but no one, EVER, has issued a pardon for ALL CRIMES over the course of TEN YEARS. If that is not “testing the endurance of American institutions” I don’t know what is.
Actually doing something about the authoritarian countries doesn't mean Trump is a chaotic actor. We've become too accustomed to doing nothing.

Chaos may be a ladder, but a ladder that leads to a pit that makes u fall down on the feet of the chaos ladder again. Infinitely so. Insanity. To make order out of chaos is key for stability and true growth. While the order of the western libdralism is out of date and out of touch, doesnt mean they have to fall down the ways of chaos. They have to use it, and see where to build new order from it, with a position of strength.

I also think the ideas of war or social revolution typically require a huge crisis to precipitate them, typically it requires things getting objectively bad, not just relatively, and/or a lot of rights and freedoms being ripped away at once. Social revolution requires at least some people with power to decide to go against the system - but in the US no one from the lower middle class on up has a good reason to foment a revolution. Working class has roots, ties, friendships, families that give no reason to blow all that up in a violent revolution. Mass protests are possible if things went really south.
Not to mention that the state apparatus is much more powerful than they were in the past.
Yep. We have serious issues in the US. But people online often exaggerate them or underestimate how comfortable most Americans still actually are in the grand scheme of things.
@phantomwarrior6825 that top. They're all much bigger, stronger, and generally have a more constant presence in everyone's lives than they historically have.
@@chickenfishhybrid44yeah, in terms of material comforts, Americans live well. One thing western nations are facing is collapsing social institutions.
Families, marriages, friendships, communities, schools, churches, etc are all weaker and still crumbling. Having worked in the adolescent mental health field for 20 years, I’ve seen how this feeds into the general despair and mental health crisis (which is particularly bad among youth).
The fact that the west was had a long period of increasing peace, prosperity, comfort and convenience also feeds into the hysteria. People’s general tolerance to hardship and adversity wanes over long periods of comfort and the period of peace/prosperity/comfort in the west from 1950 until recently is more or less unparalleled in history.
So the hardships we have feel even harder because of the low tolerance. We might be able to reset that, but it won’t be pretty.
Western nations also have much less belief/confidence in their traditions and culture.
@@chickenfishhybrid44less developed nations tend to have stronger social institutions than we have, though those institutions of course have issues too.
Less developed nations certainly have a higher general tolerance to hardship and adversity. Even developed nations like Poland have a much higher resilience in the face of hardship because of their history, they have much more recent memories of catastrophe (ww2), they don’t take things for granted in the way we do.
Miguel de Unamuno wrote a lot on this, his concept of “the tragic sense of life”, the awareness that everything you love can vanish tomorrow. People in countries not lulled into complacency by long periods of peace/comfort, I’d argue they live more fully. They have a more healthy relationship with hardship, death, loss, etc.
We're all thinking the same thing. The world is so volatile right now, with all these conflicts, its only gonna take one match being lit to set the entire thing off. Thats whats scary.

Not sure which point is made here. You need chaos to fight chaos? It is true that for the 'China group' ( China, Russia, Iran, North Korea) the rules of the game are whatever suites them, a bit unpredicatble, though not nearly as chaotic as presented here. The west is indeed less nimble ( less chaotic?) because it is rule based(mostely). But its relative consitency also creates a relative stable group of countries that work together. Russias invasion of Ukraine was an (relative) unpredictable action and it immediately unbalanced the whole 'China group'. The western group was not so unbalanced because in their rule book, the disolution of a whole country on their strategic border was not acceptable. So their response was fairly unified(though a bit to hesitant). In the years after that, Russia lost its aura as a world player, Iran lost most of its allies in the middle east and china sees its economic position threatend. Why? Because they have no common ground. What discomforts one partner may be irrelevant to the other. After all its only an 'alliance' of circumstance. Not of shared values. Trump threatens to bring the same dynamic into the western alliance. It weakens the west and it will weaken the USA. Erosion of trust is a very dangerous thing
We have a saying: trust comes on foot and leaves on a galloping horse. And Trump being a loud, undiplomatic and untrusted leader does indeed not bode well for the atlantic alliance.
Bullshit. Bidens weakness allowed russia to invade with no negative consequences. Putin knew that after invading when biden was VP in 2014. Biden was weak again in 2022 and was such a pussy he hesitated giving Kiev Tanks for years. Trump oversaw 4 years of peace. He can't do any worse than Biden.
Who care about Aura? Russia has instead gained hundreds of kilometers of territory all under democrat leadership. China's economy began getting taken down by a trade was started by trump. A trade war thatvwas deemed by many to be impossible. Europe needs America more than America needs europe. Europe will kiss the ring and follow where trump leads as they know who is the boss. Europe has sunk its money in Healthcare, not warfare and is thus weak and dependent on the US.
You're wrong about unbalanced Russia and China. The Russian attack to Ukraine was measured and coordinated geopolitical by step of Russia and China to overcome West.
@@MrVitconst I doubt that China was fully aware of it. Its reaction was hesitant in the beginning. China had reasonable good relations with Ukraine. It imported about 800M dollars of food from them. I'm quite certain that China was annoyed because it upset their normal game of push and prod against the USA hegemony.
I wish for the "Western Alliance" to generally remain. That said, some of Trumps and other criticisms of Europe and the Alliance are justified.

Your definition of the "order" and "predictability" is too America-centric. If you cannot comprehend something it is not inherently random.
Most of the countries you listed in 8:39 were just acting independently, not under American control. The rest of your analysis is based on the assumption of pre-Trump America being that idea of order, which is not the case at all.
In fact, if you think independence action is chaos, then I'd rather be chaotic than predictable
Gotta love the Trumpers that watched the first 3 minutes of this video decided it was 'anti-trump' and left comments on this videos 'bias' with no further explanation.
Brain dead cult of personality.
Shows a lot about this voting block
Skepticism is a natural response with so much of the media (and UA-camrs) having Trump Derangement Syndrome. People don't want to reward that with added watch time on a video.
I didn’t think it was anti-Trump. However, my eyebrows raised when he said Tulsi Gabbard was a “dangerous choice”. Little bit of bias.
I watched the whole video, but his open bias against Tulsi was damning. Ultimately, this channel seems to want America to continue in a roughly neoconservative trajectory, at least as far as foreign policy goes. Even if he admits Trump's strategy may have merit.
This feels like a high level gossip about world affairs

There is this phrase often used by academics of geopolitics: "Don't listen to what leaders say. Watch what they do"
Trump is very good at putting on a show, so that's how his words should be taken as: acting for the camera
That explains why he lies so much and rarely answers questions directly. Like how he said he disavowed project 2025 but now that he’s elected he said there are some good ideas in there.
Project 2025 was a boogeyman. It does have some good points though.
Great video, I saw that your Polish-language channel has more subscribers than the English-language one. I am really surprised as the content here is top notch by any standards. Your channel should be much more popular.
"Whatever happened to _predictability?_ The milkman, the paperboy, evening t.v.!?"
Wealth is not a pie. Inequality of outcome isn’t necessarily a bad thing.
There should be an emphasis and goal of equality of opportunity, not outcome.
If you took all of the rich people’s wealth and redistributed it this will not solve anything for the long term. Wealth is a measure of productivity. Capitalism and free market free from government intervention, choking and manipulation of the economy, wages and prices will be beneficial for everyone
The problem is that without certain degree of income redistribution, maintaing equality of opportunity becomes impossible. I don't mean handouts but stuff such as a healthcare system that is available to everyone and not just to people with money. Or proper funding of law enforcement. Or an education system that is on a decent level across the board. Or the public infrastructure. A kid who's cold, hungry, sick and goes to a low quality school where his man effort has to be focused on not becoming a victim of violence will never be able to compete with a kid who's safe, has access to talented teachers, great healthcare and on top of that his parents have connections that can facilitate a great start for his career when he grows up. Let that happen for a few generations and you end up with a hereditary aristocracy that has to try very hard to fail while most of the poor just try to stay afloat - and often don't succeed even at that. The latter may eventually conclude that the game is rigged against them so much that the best course of action is to flip the table and start anew. Unfortunately flipping the table is usually very costly and I don't mean just money. Blood tends to flow when that happens.
@@liquidrock8388 the fallacy here is thinking that true free market capitalism causes monopolies or inflations or bad living conditions. These problems are actually caused by government intervention/manipulation of the economy and cronyism in one way or another.
In a true free market system everyone would be able to get cheap prices and quality for healthcare and education, which is all private and not controlled by interests and a government that have no incentive to provide quality for free.
Education should not be uniform. Parents know what skills or subjects their children need to learn. Subjective theory of value makes sense here.
As for ‘safety nets’ and social programs for people with real problems (like someone who lost their house in a flood), I support it on a voluntary basis only where people help their family and neighbors, something like ‘gofundme’. It should never be compulsory taxation through state power. Some will say then how is it ensured that they will get help? I’ll say it’s in human nature to help as evidenced by the millions who give to charity and the internet is a great method of communication to make these unfortunate people get help.
the good old "everything will be perfect in a perfectly free market". dude, with wealth they get power and influence and bend the rules of the state in their favor. and if its not them then its going to be other countries. the world is a battlefield and no free market is going to synchronize it like a swiss clock.
@@user-pvmdmtl free market by itself does not cause bad living conditions - to the contrary, countries without a free market economy tend to be poorer. That said, for a free market to work it needs to be... well, free. If you let bilionaires run the show they will make sure that their positions remain secure and they do NOT have to face competition. That's exactly what's happening in the US right now. Also - the idea that "parents know what their children need to learn" is ridiculous. Yes, successful, well educated parents probably do. Unsuccessful, ignorant ones do not. Even with a decent public education system poverty is way too often inherited simply because children lack good role models at home and adopt the very same mindset that caused their parents to fail. You can't seriously expect that poor people can teach their kids how to be successful.
Equality of any type dosen't exist in nature.
While I have mixed opinions on this topic and your video I will say, trump has full control over both houses of Congress and the supreme court. He has effective immunity and repealed shamrock. There is some merit to your idea that this term will be far more unhinged if he so chooses.
Full control? There are many RINOs that specifically can't wait to backstab him for making them actually do work to support their bases. Also his supreme court picks have been very disappointing because they make a show of standing down or making anti-Trump decisions so they can attend DC parties.
But you fell for the "immunity" bs so you don't care what anyone right of you thinks. He has immunity from being sued for his presidential actions. If he unloads a glock in Pelosi that would be impeachable and then jailable for murder as murder is not the duty of the President.

6:20 So? being anti woke doesn't mean being homophobic, that's why Trump can easily appoint an openly gay ,man or are people still pretending to know what woke means? Trump was literally the first President to openly support gay marriage, no wonder some people are calling this video anti Trump.
He never used the word "homophobe". This channel is neutral when it comes to American politics and is not left wing.
@@Aleks96 It was very obviously implied that him appointing Hegseth to get rid of wokeness while also appointing an openly gay man was odd somehow, look at that part of the video again.
He certainly has a left wing view of Trump besides the part about Trump being unpredictable being potentially a good thing perhaps.
@@AnonymousVenator He is neutral about Trump because he doesn't really know what to expect from Trump. This channel is a European or rather Polish perspective on American politics.
@@Aleks96 That's not what neutral means.We'll have to agree to disagree
@@AnonymousVenator This channel is of course for the Western world order and pro-NATO because it is in Poland's interest. But whether Trump is an opponent of the Woke in America is irrelevant to this channel, as long as it does not negatively affect America's allies, it is not important.
It is interesting that you say it is Russia and China who "break the rules" and are unpredictable. From my observation, it is US and its allies who do not follow international agreements and break all the rules. I wonder why you say Russia had no intention of following the Minsk agreements, when it was actually only Russia who tried to implement them, and Ukraine , supported by Germany and France, who continually refused to implement the agreements?
There is a reason why US and 'the West' talk about "the rules based order" rather than "international law". Law requires compliance, while rules can easily be broken. Generally, it is USA who breaks those rules, and then tries to establish new rules more favourable to itself.
Game Theory has the most explanatory power of all models
to some aspects but not to all. nash himself recognized its limits by the end of his life.
@ What model do you think has more or most explanatory power?
@@Zyzyx442 oh im not knowledgeable nor wise enough to know what is *the* *model*.
look, different models and theories are useful for interpreting different aspects of things. there are economic models, psychological theories, political theories, interdisciplinary models like game theory and so on.
@@Qnexus7 Sure I will concede to that point, but still out of all the models I have studied and used game theory is the best, and I've never heard a good counter argument against it. Best attempt was a documentary a long time ago that viewed game theory as inherently capitalist because some firms on wallstreet use it in their trainee programs and sought to disprove it, they took in random people on the street in pairs and used the classic experiment prisoners dilemma choose blindly where they get 50 bucks if both cooperate, none if both takes and if one takes all and other cooperate the takes all get 100 bucks, according to classic game theory you gain the most to choose take all and the people almost always chose cooperate and the documentary makers said this disproved game theory, but what they didn't take into account was the social aspect of their experiment the people in the were interviewed and filmed, and nobody wants to come off as greedy morally corrupt person, that is a social cost that is higher penalty than 100 bucks and so game theory proves it's explanatory power again if you take in all aspects, that is why I think it's the best, you have to include all variables, not just economics.
@Zyzyx442 oh man, thats interesting. But game theory implementation and effects go way deeper than that. There is some cool wholesome video on veritasium on game theory but i suggest to watch the british documentary called "the trap" - 2007 made by adam curtis, if you want to taste how deep the rabbit hole goes.

Large swaths of this analysis are dishonest: social inequality isn't a problem in and of itself, and neither is the GINI coefficient. People not being able to survive is the problem. Living in a society with a high GINI coefficient but being able to eat is infinitely better than living in an equal society where everybody starves. Rapid inflation is much more of a problem in people's actual lives than the rich getting richer.
The rich getting richer would be no problem to anyone provided the poor didn't keep getting poorer and hard work didn't help improve their situation
Said a person with money 😆
Both are a problem. Inequality always decreases freedom.
@DudeNoEdge can you walk me through your logic on "inequality always decreases freedom"? That's an extreme statement - anything with an "always" is pretty easy to deflate - and historically, trying to ensure equality results in extreme constraints on freedom, so...
@@bicker31 wealth inequality contributes to social stratification that hinders social mobility. wealth concentration creates power imbalances that shape policies to favor the rich, leaving the poor outside the boat. even if absolute living standards improve, inequality deepens systemic barriers.
the left has the heart in the right place on economics but the good old saying is also true that "capitalism is good at creating but poor at distributing and communism is bad at creating but good at distributing".
look the whole system should be fair towards all, meaning that politics cant be the butlers of the elites, and the lowest of the society can't just be locked up or left behind inhumanly. ideally everyone is covered on the basics and gets a fair, not privileged, chance to climb the ladders. identity politics was always the tool for a war amongst the poor.

MAN YOU'RE VIDEOS ARE UNREAL, HOW BIG IS YOUR TEAM?
6:13 that's a wrong description of game theory. You know how often you should fold pocket aces preflop. 0%. Most often, poker is still chess. The cards play themselves. It is at the point of margin or at the indifference curve that one is allowed to randomise strategy. When small differences make or break a winning strategy. As someone who did economics and poker, I do not think Trump is strategically capable. He is very weak strategically speaking, but he has one other thing up his sleeve. Tactics. He can fight 1v1. He is the typical management student. Highly optimised tactical prowess. However, he is bad at randomisation. He is random, but of the imitating kind. Truly random. A loose aggressive in poker. He just fights to win, not to win money. He plays battles that aren't his, just because he can. He is highly predictable. He wants to win. The only thing you need him to do is make him feel like he's won. People will perceive him as random but he isn't. He has clear objectives. It is just that the people around him force him to be more strategic. He is bad at that. He does not even think strategy is too valuable, but he is dependent on it. He couldn't be arsed about the future of the United States, if it meant his family would be secured. He minimizes strategy in terms of the United States. The United States acts on reduced aggregate strategy when he's in office. This exploitative nature works effectively in the short run. He does clearly know how to move around game theory, but he would be exactly the kind of dumb dumb that does not know how to game theory resolve in the centipede game, like most management students. The way to resolve the centipede game is to both forwards and backwards induct at the same time, with both people. To have both instinctively understand trust without communication. This is critical to the understanding of game theory, but trump would be so concerned winning, that he would like every stupid management student end the game right away, causing me to asses the situation, and act likewise in order to be symmetric and consequential. The typical rout to the bottom initiative synomous with exploitation of resources, that makes me and everyone annoyed. That is why he is so concerned with loyalty, because in the centipede game you need to trust. He wants the security guarantee before game starts. Because he has been fooled around in the past he is anxious about losing. That is truly his fear. Losing. He will get a deal where probably Trump "wins" and Russia wins. Who cares about the losers. Who cares about America and Ukraine 10 years down the road. He will be dead anyways. He will have to told Melania many times at the dinner table. What is Geostrategic even supposed to mean? What is strategic ambiguity even? What is strategy? If you say he's strategic you don't know about the distinction of tactics v strategy.
To people who want to win, it is hard to make them lose, but it is easy to make them not care. If you can make them look away, not considering the weight of the issue, you get situations like Libya where thousands die because he can't be arsed to read the daily briefing.
"He couldn't be arsed about the future of the United States, if it meant his family would be secured."
How does that work when the presidency has brought his family nothing but trouble?
@@theliato3809 again, read the entire segment. He is bad geostrategically, and wants to win, and is great tactically speaking. That comment is a very geostrategic comment. That is exactly his limitation. That very ordinary understanding. Also, he is just too concerned about winning to not be very reflective. If you just go to a university management course first year you see half of the students are like him. Only difference he had people he could trust. He had a network that made him supreme. A neverending thirst of winning, so prevalent that it would be eligible for a ego disorder. He isn't very exploitative, but he is if he has to. He prefers expansionism, the colonisation of his own ego, the extension of himself. The Trump brand, but it is especially in his darkest hour that he becomes exploitative. That he clings to power at all cost, and he his willing to drag everyone down with him if he has to.
At the risk of sounding pedantic (and I am sorry, this is more an intellectual exercise than a critique), I'm going to argue you a little there about the aces pre-flop. If I'm big blind, have aces, and 7 other players are all-in before me and I get eliminated if I lose (all my chips are down), and its early in the tournament (blinds are small), its not an auto-call. Position, amount of players in the hand (and thus, the dilution of your hand because other aces are likely to be held by other all-in players), your chips remaining, the speed of the blinds going up in that particular tournament or lack-thereof, the reading of the players around you, and probably a few others, all affect your decision. The win percentage on pocket aces against 7 other players with hands worthy of going all in is actually rather low; you might have the highest, but your own personally chances are unacceptably low despite the possible gains.
Granted, there are very few circumstances where anyone would do such a thing, but its not inconceivable to fold pre-flop. Furthermore, I think very, very, very few people would ever have the self-control to do so even if the math called for fold.
That nick-picking aside, I agree with the overall sentiment of your comment, especially about Trump's capabilities.
His chaos is inherent and couldn't be reigned in if his life depended on it. What helped him out was being the President of the US in his last term; that affords you a lot of leeway. Imagine if he were President of a country with much less power and you can also imagine things going south very quickly.
@JohnDoe-fo7yi yeah, immediate, there is an exception, I know. But I would hate it, and that's only with massive icm implications. I don't know what solvers would do 1 away from the button, and how scared I would be, but funnily enough I haven't looked at it. While interesting as an extreme consideration, if I will always lose the maximum when this situation occurs I lose nothing. That is it is such a statistical anomaly in poker to 1 be playing tournament, 2 be playing with icm, and 3 get aces when action. I kind of would hate that position ngl, but for the sake of argument, it just doesn't hit as hard saying "I would play aces almost always with willing and able to shove pre." Makes it unnecessarily complicated. Sometimes you gotta be a bit snappy. Bit simplifying life.
6:28 could you provide actual examples of views that she shared that were proven to be no more than Russian propaganda? Thanks.
This is a pretty good analysis, but there is more to the government than the Executive branch. There is congress (legislative, arguably the most important branch), and the Judicial branch. While there is a full Republican majority in the federal government, the democrats still hold significant power in the government as their congressmen like Chuck Schumer are leaders in the most powerful congressional committees and subcommittees. Also, democrats practically control ALL of the cities in the US through local elections. Almost every single city in the US has a heavy democrat majority. Most academics in the top universities are democrat as well. So Trump may seem like he has a lot of power right now, but it’s not even close to total control. I just hope his immigration, economic, and foreign policy will have good effects for the US, I don’t really care that much about the other issues right now.
"anyone trying to unravel [Trumps political appointments] is doomed to failure" - NO. You are just looking at these appointments in terms of US foreign policy towards the outside world. These appointments are focused on internal US issues. This applies to normally outward facing cabinet positions. Pete Hegseth, a retired US Army Colonel, was appointed as SecDef to scrub DEI from the US DoD, not travel the world in the way Llyod Austin has.
Very "equal-income" countries feature enormous "wealth-inequality". Additionally, their elites have been mostly the same families for literal hundreds of years 🇩🇰 🇳🇱 ...
The huge income taxes successfully limits new power players arising from markets innovation. There is hardly any effective change of course, or it takes too long. The entire country becomes TOO predictable; stagnated. Effectively a fish tank with the population inside, controlled by old elites and the government.
Unlike our government that's completely controlled by billionaires. The most elite of elites.

I like how we started to admit that the West was still influencing Ukraine in a way that Russia finds unacceptable and the only argument that is left: "they are a sovereign nation and decide for themselves", but we all know that it's not true.
Why so much speculation on Trump? He's the simplest person. He says whatever is the most convenient to placate or rile up his supporters, and likes to act like a bully making threats, but then backing down when people offer him terms that "make him look good".
He is transactional, so he can be bought therefore rich people like Musk and SBF will benefit the most within the US, and authoritarians like Sisi and MBS outside the US.

This portrayal of Trump as irrational, chaotic, or idiotic is extremely short-sighted and a losing strategy....
Trump's success against powerful enemies doesn't happen by chance or with luck alone.
“Chaos is a ladder”. Trump is Chaotic. That’s not up for debate, the Host here (or the writers) are arguing that it is a deliberate strategy.
Nobody said idiotic. I'm not sure why this video conflicts with some of his voters God like views of him, it's factually true that Trump is embracing chaos as a strategy. He wouldn't threaten 25% tarrifs on his biggest trade partners or discuss the annexation of Canada or the Panama canal if that weren't true. He's using it as leverage both with Americas allies and as a warning to its enemies.
What successes exactly?
His administration was a Reagen type economy - short sighted with a recession following it, with no international achievements, except for cutting off the Afghan government so that Biden can take the blame, and an empty game of threats in the Middle East.
I swear, the American culture war has melted people's brains to pulp...
@generaltom6850 The creators (much like the liberal media) have had to admit that "Trump's Chaos" is deliberate. It is just a last ditch excuse for losing.
My belief is that it is not Trump who is chaotic. It is, in fact, the establishments response to Trump, which is Chaotic. (Censorship, lies, sabotage, corruption, assassination attempts, lawfare, Covid, election manipulation, war escalation, etc)
Trump, devoid of the intense response from the "establishment," is essentially a throwback politician to a previous era.
