I am outraged by french position. I don't think France holds much power in Asia and I don't think the Chinese can be anything reasonably successful against Taiwan beforex2040
As a Lithuanian I do not fear an attack from Russia. Russia lost so much military equipment in Ukraine and their economy is in such a bad place that it will take a lot of years for Russia to rebuild its military.
yes, just like it took decades for russia to rebuild after the humiliating failure of an invasion of Finland in 1939. After that russian power was gone from europe for decades.... oh
@@konfunable Ofcourse direct comparison is impossible. Soviet union was much more powerful on every metric than current day russia. But I dislike this way of thinking that alot of Lithuanians have: Russia has failed in the current war, therefore they pose no threat. Sure, currently russia is preoccupied in Ukraine, but Ukraine war will end eventually, and even savages like russians are able to learn from their mistakes and improve.
Very Anglo-Saxon point of view. Although it is true that French are not interested on following the US, they themselves try to build European alliance to create 3rd power center. American interests are not always aligned to European. And with the moving US interest into Indo-Pacific region, Macron wants to create more self-sustaining EU. Of course there is no question that Baltic countries will always ally with the US and UK just because they have 0 geopolitic interest in alliance with Russia, while French and Germans need Russian resources.
Poland and Ukraine by themselves can and will blockade any russian land trade routes. While adding baltics to the mix will ensure that maritime trade will be near impossible. So germany and france will have to find new places to get the "resources" from. Or go to war with eastern europe.
Macron's desire for a stronger Europe is reasonable. The problem lay more with Macron's Xi-tinted explanation of French disengagement, particularly the troll-pandering use of "vassal". In other words, the problem was not Anglo-Saxon, per se. Instead, it revolves around distrust of Xi's imperialist ambitions.
Excellent analysis, as always.
Awesome video mate, very insightful. So does this mean we are getting the old Dangerous Policy back? 😅
Nice... but you need to show other footages as you speed. That will make your presentation stand out much better
When China will return Manchuria occupied by Russia? Historical territories joining mainland more important that Taiwan! :P
Based on recent reporting, Xina's economy is not nearly as strong as the XiXiP claims.

That's why current planning is for decade in advance.

@@gairionysten3188 not comparable at all. But it is true that they won't need decades to rebuild.
