He was wrong. It was destroyed from the inside by the time it was created. We never barred jews from entering, that was our downfall. We destroyed ourselves by not being racist for the right reasons.
Do you study any history? The Babylonian Empire, the Greek and Roman Empires-all fell from within. This pattern is consistent across empires, typically initiated by the elites who begin to perceive themselves as god-like figures. Their actions, unchecked, lead to the destruction of the foundational elements, setting off a chain reaction. Despite the common people's determined efforts to resist, there comes a critical point where the foundation is irreparably damaged, making it vulnerable to the takeover of the next empire.
I used to agree with that statement until I realized just how much we rely on other nations to be so powerful... We still need allies for military defense and trade. If the USA fought against every other country in the world or at the very least, on multiple fronts at the same time without ANY foreign aid or access to foreign military bases, it would still loose, the fact that we lost in Vietnam, korea, and Afghanistan proves that with enough determination and support/ willingness, ANYONE can defeat the USA. If everyone decides to stop trading with the USA and put sanctions like Russia, their economy would still collapse just like anyone else's... America can't do it alone they still require foreign allies. But I'll admit that in order to be defeated, it would take a major coalition or the entire world as a whole to oppose them. As modern day shows, it's very easy to cause another us civil war to start and cause the country to split up because nobody agrees with each other and the central federal government is oppressive against states rights which can easily cause problems in the USA.
“China’s aggressive foreign policies” … what about USAs foreign policies ? How many countries did they invade and how many regime changes and with that civil wars did they start ?
My mother is from Ecuador. China loaned the ex quasi dictator Rafael Correa millions. Today, Ecuador is in a bind trying to pay something they can’t pay. On top of that, Chona has invaded Ecuador’s waters from the continent to Galapagos and his fishing like crazy and killing one of the most biological diverse countries in the world. It is doing this all over South America.
I think this is not a GDP list, but also combine that with military forces too. Japan under the peaceful constitution edition after WW2 was limited to develop advanced weapon like aircraft carrier and mid and long range missals.
I don’t agree with India being placed above Russia. The reasons are: 1. Majority of our weapons that we have procured in last few decades are Russian made with minor changes. This means that a bulk of our arsenal is essentially similar to that of Russia, which makes them outdated. 2. We are essentially dependent on imports when it comes to defence sector. We don’t have an engine for our own flagship jet yet and we depend on decades old engines from western world to power our machinery. With this lack of self sufficiency, I don’t think we should be ranking that high on the list. 3. There is massive corruption in our politics which often interferes with best procurements for our armed forces. Our DRDO and OFB are no where near ISRO when it comes to innovation and engineering. I don’t know which report you are using to prepare this list, but there is certainly something wrong with it.
@random-rh1tm Agreed I can see the argument for Russia being behind China because China is the fastest growing country both military and economy wise but brah there is no way WM put it behind India lol.
@random-rh1tm A war they started against a much smaller and technologically inferior enemy. Even before the west sent Ukraine weapons the Russian military ground to a halt before reaching Kyiv do to massive corruption, poor planning and lack of morale. And all that equipment you mentioned is outdated, some of it from the Soviet era
I wish that China ranked lower because of less freedom and abuse of human rights. If I made this video then it would be placed at least in 5th place or not get mentioned at all. Such a shame that China's poor handling human rights and aggressiveness and toxic relationship with Russia let them down. Japan should've been mentioned! Team Japan 🇯🇵
wow as a german u couldnt be more wrong about germany. we have a terrible (if at all) eqipped, understaffed military at the moment. our political parties are at each others throat. And economically we get sucked dry by corruption and migration. Yeah Germany is not that great at the moment
Yes, her and probably like 95% of the world….the only ones who disagree are Soviet fanboys and older Russians who can’t believe they let the gap between them and the US get so large
Japan military is only now beginning to be allowed to grow past a 100 thousand and is being encouraged to grow and take a bigger part in the defense of the Pacific since there defeat in ww2 were they were under us occupation into the 50s and were limited on how big and what they were allowed to have military wise so it is not actually that surprising.
There are some countries on this list that The Philippines 🇵🇭🇵🇭🇵🇭 wanted to collaborate and make partnerships to boost the country's economy and allegiance...
Philippines is so full of bad things that will not surprise me if the country will never recover from, corruption is rampant for example, people still elect questionable politicians
You know, I’m actually scared by these powerful countries, including ours, of the world because someday there will be a nuclear war, the Doomsday Clock remains 90 seconds till midnight
The Doomsday Clock is a political terror tool, and nothing more. It is no more an indicator of global extermination than are tea leaves. We're all better off ignoring it.
while thats true, the only nation to successfully make, test and launch a weapon has been the USA. no other nation has been able to proof their nuclear arsenals destructive powers. Furthermore, the US nuclear arsenal constantly goes through updates and modernization every decade, whereas many other nation are barely able to make new ones , let alone update their internal components. Plus the US would only need to strike the oil fields and shipping lanes to essentially cripple every other nation on the earth, as they are so heavily reliant on both of those areas, whereas here in the US we have the abilities and resources to be self sufficient. And our geographical area makes it almost impossible for a successful land invasion as no other nation has an active blue water nvy.
WTF is this list, they include saudi but in reality JAPAN is the third largest economy in terms of GDP yet not on the list? do you smoke gasoline there huh that's why you include saudi. For military stance Japan is still way ahead for its defense compared to saudi and right now Japan is ramping up faster to boost it's military capabilities with regards to tension against china.
tell me what i don't know japan have way more scientists that won nobel prize than indians and they have more billionaires than indians despite that Japan have 11 times lesser population than India so tell me @@nirdeshmishra1784
i don't have anything against India being powerful i just think that in 2024 India is not more powerful than Japan maybe it will happen in 2034@@nirdeshmishra1784

Turner Joy being attacked? 🇺🇸 Hell somebody in this shitty world has to be the allies of conflict there will never be peace if we never become One United Nation
Maybe Egypt should be on this list? The fliming it encompasses significantly influences culture and the collection of misplaced intellgentsia is formitible. Any thoughts?
We could contest this list easily. China,Russia,S Korea,Germany,United Kingdom and France are facing declining population. That mightiest and unmatched army just lost a war in Afghanistan to bunch of farmers with rusty AKs(which happened for the second time,making it it even funner). Not to mention that US president's cognitive abilities are declining faster than the inflation(which he caused)and is more concerned about Ukraine and Israel than he's about his own state. And finally,US army is facing decline due to few factors,most notable lack of trust in government and wokesation of the army. Same case is with UK's army,it's army size has halved since 2000's...

I didn't expect India to be ahead of Russia either, but when we factor in the Ukraine war, it might be understandable.
I think they also consider size of economy as well
I mean Russia could not land a space ship on the moon while India did this last year. Also India has more soft power than Russia does right now.
@random-rh1tm No, at least Iran and North Korea are helping Russia with weapons. Russia also uses mercenaries from Arab and African countries
@@Antonio12329d I mean tbh, what makes you think India would fare any different against Ukraine? Wars are never easy.

One can tell this was recorded a while ago. India recently took over China's title of the most populous nation in the world.
United States of America:
- Part of North America.
- One of the most powerful countries on Earth.
- One of few multicultural nations in the world.
We Americans must remember: United we stand, divided we fall. 🇺🇸🇺🇸🫡
Of course you would put the US as number 1
Yes, her and probably like 95% of the world….the only ones who disagree are Soviet fanboys and older Russians who can’t believe they let the gap between them and the US get so large
Of course
Because the US is still the most powerful country on the planet.
You can see it when you look at their leader: he's in great shape and you're not at all worried about him tripping over a step.
They are scared of all the cry babies in the comments, who still think the u.s is on top.
Didn't India surpass China as the most populous country on the planet?
