American people must see what is going on outsite, they shouldn't listen only to the administration, please open your eyes, for example, if you want to know more about Syrai, please search in youtube for:

Bashar al-Assad Syrian President - ABC News

@hanibb1 You're right. Most Americans live in a bubble and don't realize what is going on in the world. Our press seems to do everything they can to breeze over or completely ignore important events in the world.

If people can't listen or express logical views on any topic....then there is no hope....you heard it here first.

[jharmon05]

Agreed! A lot of youtubers don't seem to be able to express their views or listen to others views without resorting to name calling. We need MORE DEBATE and less arguing.

fuck ur obama fuck ur states all of them u ugly white trash ...using that black monkey as a puppet aient goona save u from hell juz wait for it ur laughing now we will laugh then so who had the last laugh

[jharmon05]

Sorry to inform you but he is not "my" Obama. I neither voted for nor supported Obama in his campaign. You're right though when you say Obama is a puppet. All our presidents are. I'm not sure what you think I'm laughing about. I don't take pleasure in my governments destructive behavior. There isn't much to laugh about right now as my government is engaged in war in 3 countries and supports the policies of Israel. You are a racist and are filled with hatred. You should do something about that.

@TheGoldenKing20 calm down he's a smart man and history shows the Soviets weren't any more agressive than the west and weren't trying to rule the world. The only thing the Soviets cared about was defending against the constant invasions they suffered leading up to the cold war. so calm dow the cold war is over.

[sidrahsiddiqui]

Always the videos where intellectuals like him try to open the eyes of the public remain less viewed. the dilemma...!

[PaulHefner1]

@TheGoldenKing20 Idk why you are so mad, everything he said was exactly true.... :-)

[TheGoldenKing20]

Fuck it, if this traitorous moron would have been President he would have surrendered and delivered the US in the hands of the Soviet Union as soon as he got in power.

@jbcadier The United States never was, isn't, and never will be an Empire. We may not always have the world's largest economy. However, even if China has a larger GDP, that doesn't mean the average Chinese person is wealthier than the average American. Remember, they have 1.3 billion people and we have 300 million. With that said, China has a huge demographic tidal wave that will greatly harm them. Back in the 1980s, many people thought Japan would surpass the US, but look what happened.

[jbcadier]

Just like the British Empire in the 19th century, I believe that the American "empire" that I would much rather qualify as "sphere of influence" will eventually dissipate. Some could argue that the BRICS are already replacing the United States (as China is now the world's first economic power). Hopefully the US will learn from Great Britain's mistakes and avoid complacency. Perhaps a strong economic alliance with the EU? But that would involve listening to what the EU has to say.

[jbcadier]

@112HK Well at least you'll be with us in hell due to your horrendous grammar and spelling :)

@scholion If Chomsky was president of the United States, he most certainly would not "run Western Civilization"

[DukeOfWellington828]

The united states is not a democracy, the founding fathers strived to keep the us from being a democracy. in a democracy, if more than half the people in a democracy gang up against a smaller group without a system of checks and balances. I live in a republic. I am free and yet have the protection of the law. For this I thank god each time I hear the star spangled banner. god bless america, land of the free and home of the brave.
