    As a panamanian it is pretty accurate how the USA-Panama relations were presented. Although in recent times, many more panamanian workers and engineers were present for the daily operations and the expansion of the canal locks. The canal isn't just an american waterway, it's for all countries in the world

    Why don't we, gentlemen of the hoser channel, create our own canal through the center of the earth so it's extra time efficient.
    And we ban all crises from ever happening, this will be a very successful venture for sure.

    Hi hoser, a random nicaraguan guy, i just came here to explain that the idea of a canal here is now twice as impossible, since the canal would go on thru lake Nicaragua, something that could actually screw the whole Rio San Juan Mini basin, and thus some species, but one of the reasons of why the canal is so hated here is because that would imply moving anyone and their properties that are on the projected path, in certain way, the canal was also one of the factors that would lead to the Political Crisis from 2018-Present, other factors, include that the project was proposed by the central government without asking to the provinces, especially the autonomous ones, so, a canal now is basically impossible, not only due to the economical crisis, the lack of funding, but also to how controversial the idea is.
    Btw i love how amazing and short the explanation was, nice work.

The reason there are few ships show is because this is almost all done on barges driven by tug boats, which are not ships. This is also even cheaper than using foreign ships.

      If the heavens ever did speak
      She's the last true mouthpiece
      Every Sunday's getting more bleak
      A fresh poison each week
      "We were born sick," you heard them say it
      My church offers no absolutes
      She tells me, "Worship in the bedroom"
      The only heaven I'll be sent to
      Is when I'm alone with you
      I was born sick
      But I love it
      Command me to be well

      If I'm a pagan of the good times
      My lover's the sunlight
      To keep the Goddess on my side
      She demands a sacrifice
      Drain the whole sea
      Get something shiny
      Something meaty for the main course
      That's a fine-looking high horse
      What you got in the stable?
      We've a lot of starving faithful
      That looks tasty
      That looks plenty
      This is hungry work

      No Masters or Kings
      When the Ritual begins
      There is no sweeter innocence than our gentle sin
      In the madness and soil of that sad earthly scene
      Only then I am human
      Only then I am clean

      If the heavens ever did speak
      She's the last true mouthpiece
      Every Sunday's getting more bleak
      A fresh poison each week
      "We were born sick," you heard them say it
      My church offers no absolutes
      She tells me, "Worship in the bedroom"
      The only heaven I'll be sent to
      Is when I'm alone with you
      I was born sick
      But I love it
      Command me to be well
      Aaay. Amen. Amen. Amen
      Take me to church
      I'll worship like a dog at the shrine of your lies
      I'll tell you my sins so you can sharpen your knife
      Offer me that deathless death
      Good God, let me give you my life
      Take me to church
      I'll worship like a dog at the shrine of your lies
      I'll tell you my sins so you can sharpen your knife
      Offer me that deathless death
      Good God, let me give you my life
      If I'm a pagan of the good times
      My lover's the sunlight
      To keep the Goddess on my side
      She demands a sacrifice
      Drain the whole sea
      Get something shiny
      Something meaty for the main course
      That's a fine-looking high horse
      What you got in the stable?
      We've a lot of starving faithful
      That looks tasty
      That looks plenty
      This is hungry work
      Take me to church
      I'll worship like a dog at the shrine of your lies
      I'll tell you my sins so you can sharpen your knife
      Offer me my deathless death
      Good God, let me give you my life
      Take me to church
      I'll worship like a dog at the shrine of your lies
      I'll tell you my sins so you can sharpen your knife
      Offer me my deathless death
      Good God, let me give you my life
      No Masters or Kings
      When the Ritual begins
      There is no sweeter innocence than our gentle sin
      In the madness and soil of that sad earthly scene
      Only then I am human
      Only then I am clean
      Ooh oh. Amen. Amen. Amen
      Take me to church
      I'll worship like a dog at the shrine of your lies
      I'll tell you my sins so you can sharpen your knife
      Offer me that deathless death
      Good God, let me give you my life
      Take me to church
      I'll worship like a dog at the shrine of your lies
      I'll tell you my sins so you can sharpen your knife
      Offer me that deathless death
      Good God, let me give you my life

    I don’t wanna be that guy but just FYI at 14:42 the picture used is actually depicting a meteorological event known as Yellow dust in which sand from the deserts in Central Asia are carried eastward towards China, Japan and Korea, you can tell by the yellow tint in the picture. this phenomenon happens year round but is especially bad in spring. It is true that China has a ton of pollution and air quality problems but using a picture of a sandstorm to represent their air pollution is misleading and quite disrespectful

    BRO it’s been the *Persian* Gulf since time immemorial, long before the Arabs or Islam even existed! The only people who’ve ever tried to call it Arabian are the Saudis (themselves a recent creation) and their little puppet states.
    It’s one thing to be politically correct, but it’s quite another to be factually incorrect. It’s the _Persian_ Gulf. And don’t you forget it! 💚🤍❤️🦁☀️
