  • @Blavat666 Well someone's racist.

    And stereotypical.

    And ignorant.

  • In Chu's view, you can see why the third Reich was failed to be the hyperpower in Europe. Hitler did a lot for Germans but didnt try much for tolerating those jews, Russians, Ukrainians, etc. the United States became the superpower since 1940s which it was at that time, the melting pot of all kinds of 'White people'. Now, will America be going down by the tons of immigrants from the south just like Roman Empire which it was invaded by Northern tribes? btw Im an Asian guy :D

  • @Blavat666 we Chinese dirty things up, because we Chinese can afford to hire filipino maids to clean up after us. phillipines is a nation of servants who serve Chinese people, aren't you glad we made messes so you have a job? you should kiss any Chinese ass you run into. filipinos eat Chinese feces, we sprinkle some crumbs you filipinos are happy, haha poor filipino spick

  • at around @6:00 she says that the pure-blooded Spartans were not enough for dominance. She clearly did not watch the movie 300

  • I want to read her book now!!!

  • HYPERPOWER - What a truly HIDEOUS TERM - and COMPLETELY WRONG. Perhaps I'd agree that whilst the US was the ONLY nuclear power it WAS a 'HYPERPOWER'. Now, if even a tiny nation, say England, or Israel (if it's secret nuclear arsenal is in fact real) could CRIPPLE THE US in MINUTES! OK, these examples are used in JEST but you get the message. I am UNIMPRESSED by this argument. It almost stinks of propaganda. Certainly the idea is HYPED beyond reality. US dominance is extraordinary - that is all.

  • This just proves that anyone can write a book. Where is the political literacy?
