    Saagar, with all due respect, why do you play dumb on BP and not make your points?

    • @paulheydarian1281
      @paulheydarian1281 Před 3 měsíci +2

      Because BP is not that type of show. Some shows are confrontational mostly for ratings, but they aren't informative. It's tempting to make debating points and sound combative just to entertain the viewers. This is a very American tendency, but the viewers don't get a deeper understanding of geo-politics.

      If you think America is bad then you should see Chinese track record. I am no fan of west and in fact I don’t even live in the west. I live in a country bordering China. China always comes up with ridiculous border claims based on some wrong cartography from 1000 year ago where one of their emperor dreamed about that land and hence it should rightfully belong to them. WTF is that? They keep breaching our borders. All the countries which cozied up with them have either gone bankrupt or are under the process of going through one. We had to bail out some of them just so that China doesn’t completely dominate them. Their BRI did nothing but put countries in debts. America is not clean either but it’s not as bad as China. The only reason why China hasn’t done whatever America has done(or worse)is just because they didn’t have the resources to do so. China doesn’t tolerate any country which isn’t their vassal near them(maybe just like US). But US is keeping them in check for now and if US looses then the status quo will be broken and China will destabilise the entire continent the next day. I hate the US for various reasons but to me it’s a far far better option than China.

      You could make the same argument about the U.S. Maybe you should talk to more people from the global majority. The US is good at creating PR, China is good at creating Infra-Structure. Most global south countries need the infrastructure, not empty, feel-good PR.

    It is unrealistic for the US and Western Europe to surpass Russia or North Korea in the production of artillery shells for the following reason: The old industrialized countries have outsourced their production capacities to the developing countries. The reason for this was that they wanted to generate maximum profit for the shareholders through low wages. As a result, the ruling class has placed itself at the forefront of value creation without letting the working class share in the profits. For this reason, the old industrial nations do not produce steel and aluminum or drill for oil. Because their strong currencies mean their industry is no longer competitive with developing countries. For this reason, Western economies can no longer exploit their production potential. That's why Russia, whose arms budget is 5 percent as large as the US, produces twice as much artillery. Elbridge Colby wants to save an economic system that has created the exact problem described above. That is simply impossible.

      Western shells tend be be far more accurate and effective so ukraine dosen't need more shells than russia nessarily. Which at the beginning of the conflict the US produced 12k shells a month and by 2025 it'll be 100k a month

The West does not understand that there is an answer to every silver bullet. The Patriot system Shahed is currently fighting Russian drones. Every kill is celebrated as a success. But a Shahed drone costs $20,000 and a Patriot missile costs $3.8 million to $7 million. And that's why the Western defense industry is unable to win.

In the long term, a military victory for Ukraine against the neighboring nuclear power would not have been possible, as Russia always has escalation dominance through its nuclear weapons. Biden always knew that. That's why he didn't bring Ukraine into NATO.

    Zelenskyy is running out of cannon fodder. Western allies are running out of ammo. Zelenskyy offensive proved to be an epic unmitigated disaster. Russians rejected any freeze of the conflict. Putin spokesperson said quite bluntly that all Russian goals had to be met (denazification, demilitarization and a neutral status of Ukraine) . At this point unconditional surrender is the only practical solution for Ukraine. Hitler's Germany also refused to admit defeat until Hitler killed himself, then Keitel signed unconditional surrender.

    US security is tied to European security. European security is tied to Ukrainian security. The cold war cost trillions of dollars. Ukraine's success prevents trillions of defense build up. Europe needs Ukrainian grain as Spain becomes a desert.
    Europe with food would mean higher prices for Americans too. More demand than supply.
    Sweden, a country that avoided war for 210 years has new concerns of war if Ukraine falls. Switzerland, South Korean and Japan, all known for anti militarism abroad have supported Ukraine.
    Billions of dollars of mostly investment in the US in support of Ukraine is cheaper than balancing two near peer build ups and war in Ukraine.
