 All right, can you all hear? Hello? Anybody here yet? Good. Okay, I'm just gonna basically wait for people to funnel in so I can make my major announcement. How do you pronounce that name? It's like, Karen's, is that it? Thank you. Yes, I also have a Mongolian flag in here. There we go. Gotta get more flags once I'm doing my travels, which I'm gonna be talking a little bit about in my announcement. We got five, seven people now. Okay, just wait about a three minute, four minutes, and then I'm gonna make the major announcement. Oh, hello. Is that how you say that? Not too good at Lithuanian. All right, see if you guys can guess in the comment, comments what my major announcement's gonna be before I make it. Let's see what you guys got. Yo, what's up? Yes, the Estonian flag is very based. Two minutes. Already got 10 people in here. That's pretty good. Yes, I am joining the mafia. That's a good observation. Too bad you found me out. All right, one minute. See how many people can come in. Why do I have the Estonian flag? One summer, I just thought it was really cool, so I decided to do it. Excuse me. Favorite YouTuber? Probably what if I'll hiss to me? Some people think he's crazy, but I don't know. I feel like what he has to say is thought-provoking and it's pretty good. All right, seconds to go now. I'm not conquering Estonia. Sorry, I'm gonna have to pin this one. This is a good question. All right, it's three o'clock, so you're ready for the major announcement. I will be taking a short break from making videos. It's gonna probably be around two months. Like, I'll be back in March, but this is for a variety of reasons. First of all, I never thought I'd actually get burnt out making videos, but I discovered that actually doing the same thing for a year and a half does kind of take its toll, but yeah, so school is getting in the way a little bit, but thankfully the semester is done and I can just relax, but it is Christmas break, so I would be taking a break anyway from making videos for the holidays, but I think just waiting two months just to kind of gain my energy back. I mean, I have some fantastic ideas, but if I don't have the drive to actually put them through, they won't be very good, but you guys will love the content that I have to create after this break, and it's not like I'm taking a, like I'm just completely ceasing work on the channel. I will be kind of, as some of you guys guessed, this is like a channel name change. There might be that just to kind of make the channel more professional. I'm also trying to kind of change the, just the thumbnails to make them look more professional as well, and kind of just not as much of a troll look, I guess, I don't know. Kind of, someone kind of told me that it looked like Life of Boris travel videos, so I mean, I think they're right, but I mean, I like the way they look, but I think they're, it is a need for an update. So what else will I be doing during this time? I'll probably be, I'm trying to learn Portuguese now, specifically Brazilian Portuguese because one of my goals for the future of the channel is also do travel videos, and I might be trying to travel to Brazil this summer. I was initially planning Ukraine or Turkey, but there are certain issues going on those countries. As you know, I just made a video about the situation in Ukraine, and Turkey has an inflation issue that could turn into political violence pretty quickly. Now Brazil might not be the safest option, but I'm always in for a little bit of danger. At least it's nothing out of the ordinary, nothing is unexpected. So yeah, so I'm sorry that I won't be able to make videos for two months, but you guys will like the videos much better after this break. And that's not to say that if I get the drive, like within this time I may post a video here and there within the next two months, but we'll see about that. So now I'm just going to start looking at these questions and start answering them for all of you. And the first one I got that I thought was very interesting was NTPs. What do you think is the annexation of Belarus by Russia possible and inventive attempted revolution? I feel like Belarus is so tied to Russia that yeah, if there was any serious revolution within the country, Russia would try to intervene. In a similar respect to the Ukrainian Revolution in 2013 at Euromaidan, there was a right after that they kind of expelled their pro-Russian leader and then subsequently there was a Russian invasion. So yeah, that is a very possible outcome I think. All right, what are my thoughts on Jordan Peterson? It's funny you say that, I was just listening to Jordan Peterson before this. I think he has some really great things to say. Once again, really gets your mind going, makes you think about different things. And yeah, he's one of my favorite philosophers like in the modern day. I mean, of course, you know, I've been learning about the ancient and medieval ones too, but in modern day, I think Jordan Peterson is able to shine a lot of truth on what's going on in our society and kind of dealing with lack of truth and all that. Do I know Brain for Breakfast? I've watched, I think all of his videos, it was sad that he died. I mean, he was, he made some great stuff and then just suddenly he was gone. Like, yeah, it's just great that I think people are continuing his legacy. Like I think Caixian's Country Balls is doing a great job of that. Shout out. All right. What am I majoring in? I'm actually still in high school. I'm a senior, but when I go into college, I might be doing law or international relations of some kind, but I'm not sure yet. Nah, bro, don't go to Brazil, you'll get murdered. No, trust me, dude, you have to know the right places. Like I'll be fine. Don't worry about it. I'll get a local guide anyway. Like, some of you guys are Brazilian, I think. Well, maybe not any of you that are on right now, but y'all will help me out. While I travel by myself, probably, I mean, I don't really know who else would want to go to the places I want to go to, but we'll see. Where will I travel? Um, as I said, Brazil is like on the top of my list. I also got Romania is really interesting. And of course, I mentioned Ukraine and Turkey. I've got a friend in Azerbaijan as well. Uzbekistan is another one. Kazakhstan, Mongolia has been a country that's been very interesting to me too. So I've been thinking about these places. Like just basically, I'm really interested in traveling basically everywhere except where everyone else goes. Like I'm not as interested in Western Europe. It's not that I won't go there, but it's like, I feel like everyone goes there and it's not very affordable. And like, I think there's a lot more to be learned from going to these places that most people don't go to. What's the most interesting region in the world right now in geopolitical terms? That's a difficult question because there are a lot of regions that are kind of building up geopolitically. I'd say East Asia is pretty interesting and the same with the Middle East, just because the dynamic of China trying to gain influence, but also within the Middle East, like Turkey is just a growing power. Even though they have this inflation problem right now, I still think that the other countries are just lagging far too behind in different, uh, in different respects, like populations declining in some of them. And also there's wars and hyperinflation in Iran as well. So, uh, but I think that in the future, the most geopolitically important region will be the Arctic because the opening of trade routes, like, like the Northwest Passage and going like sailing across Northern Russia to get cargo from Europe to East Asia, it'll just majorly change how we all think about trade and geopolitics and all that and the Arctic will become a very important region. Who will be the superpower of South America, Brazil, Argentina, or other? Well, I would say the United States already is, but within South America, Brazil would be the most likely option just because of how huge they are. They're like half the population of the continent and half the land area. They have the most potential to grow. I would definitely not say Argentina though. As big as they are, they just have so many issues and they've been kind of sliding downhill for the past 100 years. They can't really affect anything. It's such a disappointment, honestly, like they in the 1900s, they would have been like early 1900s, they would have been considered a first world country, but at this point they just slid so far down due to hyperinflation, just excessive military coups, etc. It's not a good situation. Should I be scared if Russia, or should I be scared from Russia if I'm from Finland? I mean, considering that Russia really hasn't done anything in the past like 60 years or so, 70, ever since the Winter War, I wouldn't be too concerned because, I don't know, Finland and Russia have kind of tolerated each other for a while, I feel like. I feel like Russia has more to gain from being involved in the geopolitics of, say, just like the Eastern Europe, Balkans and the Middle East and Central Asia. Northern Europe is really not a concern for Russia at this point. I mean, in the future it could be, like with the warmer Arctic, but I don't really see how the Baltic sea would become any more important than it already is, so I would not be scared from Russia if I was in Finland. Does an independent Armenia have a future, or will get absorbed into Turkey and Azerbaijan? I've made a few videos like that kind of show Turkey becoming the dominant power of the Caucasus and Azerbaijan is kind of within that sphere and they kind of gobble up Armenia. I think that they'll have to come to some sort of peaceful resolution if they're able to coexist in this manner. I don't know, it's hard to describe because I don't want to say that Armenia would get conquered, but really I don't see any chance because they're just so jammed in between Turkey and Azerbaijan that they've just kind of become a protectorate of Turkey. I mean, I think they'd still be independent, but they would have a lot less freedom to do as they wish and there would be a lot of subsequent rebellions and things like that. Thoughts on Bougainville? I don't know much about it. I know it's an island off the coast of Papua New Guinea that's trying to get independence. If they want independence, go ahead. I mean, it doesn't really matter to me and it's not like it's very geopolitically important, I think. Do you think the West should help Ukraine in the likely invasion by Russia? This is a tough question because I think that you have to draw the line somewhere because Russia may want to try to gain influence over its former de facto colonies like the Warsaw Pact nations, but then again, it's a lot of resources that Europe and America would not be willing to give up for a country that's on the edge of their sphere of influence. I still think that if people want to go ahead and help, they should, but it may be very unpopular with a large portion of the population. That's all I'm going to say. I'm on the fence about it myself. Favorite flag? Probably South Africa, actually. It's a great flag. It has the different colors on it, just representing the different peoples that live there and just like the shape and the design and everything. Do you have an Estonian flag in the background? Do you have some Estonian heritage? Maybe, but it's just about as likely as if I have any Mongolian heritage, so not. It's just for fun. I like flags. Love your channel. I wanted to know what you think the future of Nigeria will be like. Personally, I think it's going to collapse due to corruption, religious tension, ethnic stuff. I think that's a reasonable prediction just because the disparity between the South and the North is growing. I watched this great video, which was actually an excerpt from Thomas Sol's book, Conquest and Culture. I think it was what it's called. It's like the Igbo in the South were far more educated than the Northerners. A lot of the college-educated jobs, the Igbo were doing in the Northern states of Nigeria, but then the Northerners, the Hausa slash Fulani, they were starting to discriminate against them since they were making the most money, and then the Igbo tried to create their own state. I think it was the state of Biafra, and there was like a civil war for Nigeria for four years or something, so they've already had this ethnic violence, but it could grow as the disparity between the South and the North grows just due to development like most of the richest city in the country, Lagos is in the South, and it has much more connection with the rest of the world due to it being on the coast. While the North is kind of just isolated, it's just getting their conditions are pretty poor. Islamic terrorism is high up there, and I think the religious divisions and the ethnic divisions might pull the country to three different parts. The Yoruba and the Southwest, the Igbo and the Southeast and the Hausa Fulani in the North. Future of Islamic civilization, I think that Islamic civilizations in a good spot due to just their cross-national loyalty to each other, and just the hope to kind of promote Islam across the world. I think Southeastern Europe, due to its declining population, might end up being a prime location for the growth of Islamic civilization. Like if Turkey is able to expand its influence into the Balkans, it will probably make some kind of colonization effort if the population decline as severe as it's predicted. Some of these countries are projected to lose a third of their population by 2050, while Turkey is expected to have at least 100 million by that time. So there could be some moving around. The Caucasus could be another region where Islamic civilization grows. Same with some parts of Africa, but I'm not as familiar with the situation there because I feel like there are a lot of people on the border between the Muslim and Christian world, or Christian and Muslim Africa. They're kind of converting to Christianity within the Muslim groups. Opinions on a united Arabia? I think it seems logical. If we're talking, of course, just about Saudi Arabia, the Persian Gulf states like Kuwait, Bahrain, Qatar, the UAE, Oman, and Yemen, they're in the same region. They speak basically the same language, I mean, they're obviously differences. I'd say actually Yemen would be the most different from them just to their geographic distance from the population centers of the other countries, but yeah, I'll see why that would be an issue. If you could instantly learn one language, which would it be? I don't know because there are a lot that I want to learn, but maybe like Persian or something, just it's different and it has a lot of influence across the greater Iran region of the world. So I feel like it would just be interesting to learn as well. What is your opinion on nuclear weapons and what can countries do to prevent an extinction level event? I think considering nuclear weapons have been around for 70 years in both the different like United States, Russia, China, India, Pakistan, Israel, the United Kingdom, France, North Korea, maybe even Iran these days have nuclear weapons. So countries on opposing sides, geopolitically have them. The threat of mutually assured destruction isn't really as prominent today, I think, than it was during the Cold War. Like the Cold War, there was really heightened tensions of nuclear war. At least for the major developed powers, I feel like they'll continue to kind of do away with them, but they need to keep at least some stockpile just in case something happens, I think. Like if we get rid of all our nuclear weapons, and if the United States says, and we're left defenseless in case we do get in a nuclear war, then yeah, we're in really bad shape. So we should at least keep some. But Pakistan and India, that could be a something could happen between the two of them with nuclear weapons. And that's what that's what concerns me the most. Do I think any other countries are going to get nukes? Maybe Turkey. America already has some of its nukes stationed there. And if it grows in global influence, it might start creating its own nukes or even stealing them from America. But I don't think that will happen. That's kind of out of the blue. What are your political views? Are you centrist, conservative, Democrat? You see, I consider myself a moderate. But there are lots of people who would tell me otherwise. Like, I think a lot of my views would be considered as like center right, just generally. I do gain the ire of the far left. And that's something I take great pride in, because frankly, I don't stand for radical beliefs. So I mean, yeah, just generally, I guess, I'd be considered center right. I'm not, I don't have, I'm not a conspiracy theorist or anything like that. I just take a look at the world and judge everything as I see fit. And it kind of just puts me in that category. I feel like I have many reasons for it, but I kind of want to get onto other questions as well. Have you ever considered making a podcast? Oh, yeah, I think I have. I mean, there's lots of things that I could be doing with the podcast. It would make it a lot easier because I could actually just talk about different topics instead of having to animate everything, which would make things ultimately a lot easier. I actually have done something of that nature in the past, like if the Swedish historian is here, he will, he might tell you guys a little bit more about that, but I posted it on the channel. We were just talking about whether it's a good idea for Ukraine and Georgia to go into NATO. It was like 20 minutes long, but it didn't do so well in the grand scheme of things on this channel. So maybe if I did something on Spotify, it would, it would work better. And hopefully you guys be interested in seeing stuff like that. Thoughts on Jake Tran. I don't know who Jake Tran is. I'm gonna have to look him up later. What are your, what are your thoughts on Scottish independence? I think I'd support it, honestly. I mean, I don't, I don't see any reason why the Scottish people shouldn't have independence. I mean, as a Irish person, myself, seeing the, a brother Celtic nation also receive independence from the UK would be pretty good. How old am I? I'm 18 and I have been for about two and a half months now. In my opinion, I don't think the West will interfere with the stuff that's happening in Ukraine. And you're probably correct. I mean, there's too many people within the West who just don't care about the country and don't see the greater goals behind actually helping Ukraine. But in the end, as I said, it's a very complicated situation. And I'm gonna plan to talk about that in future videos, especially with like the relations between the US and Russia. So we need to be very careful about what we do there. What is your IQ? I don't know. I mean, I've never taken a real IQ test and it seems like a lot of money for something that kind of doesn't tell you the whole picture. Do you think that South Africa will collapse? Absolutely. There's no way that the country will actually make it past like 2040. As we saw this past summer, there was major ethnic violence. And I say that because Jacob Zuma was arrested, he was the former president. He is ethnic Zulu. And as we could see most of the parts of the country that received major violence were actually in ethnic Zulu areas, like the cities of Durban, Peter Maritzburg, and Johannesburg has a large Zulu population. There was like major looting in that corridor of the state, just the southeast part where the Zulu are present. There's also growing ethnic tensions between the white and color, or the white and colors and Indians are kind of one group and then the native African population are another group and they're just kind of having their experiencing some tensions because of the wealth gap between the natives and the non-natives. And I think like the Cape, the western part of the country would become its own country. The Zulu might gain their own country and the Lesotho might expand to include its ethnic population, same with Botswana. And I don't know what will happen to the northeast. All right, see you, Karens. Let's see what other questions. Why do you think that Kaliningrad exclave is important for Russia? Well, it's an exclave that's right in the middle of the Baltic Sea, so they can kind of have more leverage than they would otherwise have. And it's in the middle of two EU states and NATO states. They can kind of keep them on edge as well. It's interestingly important, like even for how small it is, they've put a lot of military there. What do you think about Turkey in general? I think that they're experiencing some issues right now, but in the long run, their geography and their demographics will help them overcome these issues in the end, especially in respect to how poor and how much of a poor condition their neighbors are in, like the Caucasus in southeastern Europe have declining populations while the rest of their neighbors in the Middle East are either very poor or at war. So I think they'll gain a lot of influence in those parts of the world. Ever thought about making a podcast? I already said that. That's an interesting statement. I think a united Arabia would probably be an unstable country because the wars that are going on there depends what you classify as Arabia, though. I'm just classifying as the Arabian Peninsula. Like if you included Syria and Iraq in there, that would probably be very unstable and possibly Yemen too, but if it's just Saudi Arabia and the Persian Gulf states, I don't think it'd be an issue. United Arabian clavicles in 30 seconds. Thoughts on billionaires like Bill Gates or Chuck Feeney with their philanthropy. In general, I think that people should be allowed to make enough or should be allowed to have a business where they can become billionaires. I'm a really big fan of Elon Musk, but Bill Gates, I don't know. Some of the things he does just concerns me. I don't know. Do you live in the U.S. or Estonia or somewhere else? I live in the U.S. in the state of Virginia. Probably end up moving to the south or farther south when I'm older. Once I've gotten through college and all that, but yeah, I don't plan on moving to any other country except maybe Belize, but that's for a bunch of complicated reasons. Why do you think that Turkey will make why? I think that Turkey will make Islamic civilization by invasion. What if all this also thinks that Turkey and its entire history never be made foreign policy based on Islam? I just think that is the principal power within the Islamic world. Think about this. The United States never made its religion part of its foreign policy. They just made it about certain values and they still have great influence over much of the Christian world like Europe, Latin America, Australia, New Zealand, all those countries. I'm not exactly sure what Turkey will do to unite its different peoples. I think they'll obviously be able to work on the shared heritage of countries like Azerbaijan and some of the Caucasus republics like Dagestan. But in other ways, I think they can pull on the Islamic aspect, the shared Islamic aspect of many of the countries that will fall into their spirit of influence, especially if you got leaders like Erdogan these days that are much more willing to have a kind of neo-automan revival as we see like a lot of the churches are actually being transformed into mosques, especially recently. So I think Islam could be a major playing point for Turkey going forward with its world expansion. I wasn't here when you read my question about Scottish independence. I said that I would support it because it is a fellow Celtic nation and why not have a little bit more autonomy, you know what I mean? What is one part of the world you would like to know more about? That's a complicated question because there are a lot of parts that I'd like to know more about basically just all of Africa, I guess. I mean, I know some things about some countries, but I just feel like learning a bit about how African societies work can really give a shape of what might be happening in the future. And I just think that there's a lot of potential that could happen in that part of the world. So it's important to learn about it. What do you think of the British Somali land dispute? Is this between like, I don't know, can you expand upon that because I actually haven't heard about this unless of course you're talking about like Somali land and British Somali land like the colonial things, but I don't know. How did you get interested in geopolitics? I guess that's another complicated question, but I started maybe in like sixth grade and I was like 12 or something. I had a history class and we learned about World War I and World War II and I just really liked looking at the maps and then I started researching these countries and then I learned about NATO and the rest is history. Like I just started researching different parts of the world and their politics and their cultures and all that and my expansive knowledge just kind of grew over time. Now I was able to have enough knowledge. I mean, I think that I still need to learn a lot more before it can be completely professional, but I think just enough that I can create a YouTube channel and it could be serious. What's your religion? It's a complicated question once again. I mostly identify with Christianity, but I don't really buy into many of the things that like the idea that the earth is 6,000 years old or anything like that or some of these other superstitions. So I kind of have a mix of beliefs, but they're mainly founded on Christianity. Does Turkey have any natural resources in their advantage that they can use to expand their empire? I would have to research that, but their greatest asset is their mountainous geography and their access of the Bosphorus strait. Just having coastlines along the Black Sea agency and the Mediterranean there just able to have their ships be able to be maneuvered in all these different locations and also facilitate trade between the Black Sea and Mediterranean Sea. So I think just its natural positioning is its greatest strength. Thoughts on Ben Shapiro? I don't watch him a lot. I think he's had some interesting things to say, but yeah I don't watch him a ton and Bernie Sanders. In general he just seems a bit out of there, a bit out of it, but I don't know some people like him because he's like a man of the people and something like he understands a lot of the issues that young people are facing which is interesting because he's old or at least that's what they say, but I'd say slightly more negative opinion of Bernie Sanders, but I'm not really like too opinionated on him. What are your thoughts on Switzerland? Great country, a bit expensive though which is going to be an issue when I try traveling there, but I respect that they want to keep their autonomy and all that. Opinions on Turkey the bird? It's okay, but there are other meats that I like better, like I like chicken better than turkey, but on Thanksgiving ham is better than turkey in my opinion. Favorite music genre? Mongolian throat singing? Well I mean like the Who is one of my favorite bands. If you guys have not heard of the Who, you got to look them up. It's like Mongolian rock music. They have a mixture of the throat singing, their traditional instrumentation and also Western rock and metal music. It's really something that's fascinating you guys should check out, but in general I'd say just rock music. Are you going to Brazil just so you can drink alcohol? Well um not exactly, not only that reason. I mean I already do it here, so it's not that big of a deal. Yes I did see that Sad but True. They did do a remix of that song and uh I don't know. I kind of like the Mongolian version better. Opinions on India. I think they have a lot of potential considering that this like have all this coastline in the Indian Ocean, they could create a huge maritime pseudo empire and just uh they could really combat China's dominance on trade just due to this fact. Um but like I think they have a lot of potential. I mean you need to be 20 don't you? Seriously hold on a minute. Brazil drinking age 18. Ha! The consumption of alcoholic beverages in Brazil is only legally authorized to people above 18. What's your opinion on Sweden? Uh it's a good country I guess. Once again a bit too expensive. Not really a place where I'd live just because of how cold it is and I see much more opportunity in the United States in general, but I like Sweden. I like Swedish people and I'm not an Erdogan fan but I think he is being portrayed in a terrible way like Turkey's goals and founding principles is not compatible with what's being portrayed in. You see Erdogan has kind of diverted quite substantially from what Turkey initially stand for. Like I've got this book right here. It's called The Turks Today. I think I haven't really gotten into it much but it's about my senior. It's going to help with my senior thesis which is arguing that Turkey will be a regional power in the Middle East and what I know so far is I think Ataturk was talking about how he wanted to create a secular westernized country. Well Erdogan kind of wants to create a more authoritarian regime based on more Islamic principles just to use more of a populist gaining on the sentiments of the rural, more traditionalist population rather than the people more closer to Europe like in Istanbul and all that. I think he is diverting considerably from the initial goals of the Turkish Republic but we have yet to see where that goes. Is the Byzantine Empire the Roman Empire? It's a descendant state of the Roman Empire. I wouldn't say if it is the exact same thing but they definitely have their roots in Rome. I'm from Somaliland and do you think we'll have full international recognition in the future? I mean considering that the Somali government based on Mogadishu will never be powerful enough to actually take back Somaliland and considering Somaliland is just doing great on its own I feel like there will be a day when they're recognized. I don't see why they wouldn't be. What are your favorite video games? God I don't want to say this but among us in Minecraft but not Fortnite. No I'm not into Fortnite. Do you guys have any more questions? Because I was kind of planning to go to like 345 or something just to like 10 more minutes just kind of want to see what else you guys have to say. What are your goals for life? Do you want to expand your online personas over 10 million perhaps? Well I think I do want to have some kind of media presence on here. I want to expand to do other things on YouTube as well not only this channel. I might do something about South Park even like I really like that show and I think there's a lot that can be learned from it so I kind of want to analyze each episode and create a channel about that. But I also might do something that's more politically oriented to like another channel but more about American politics I'm not sure yet but this will be definitely a the first and foremost thing for my online presence but I kind of want to expand it's not only be about geopolitics but also just about travel and just experiencing the world and learning about it really is I guess the main point of this one. Has anyone found your YouTube channel in real life? Some of my first subscribers are my friends from school. They've helped me out a lot on this like I remember my math teacher last year he's also my homeroom teacher he's show my videos every week when we came back because I upload them on Sunday and Monday morning he'd show the video so it's a great way to kind of show my classmates what I've got and I respect him greatly for it. Have you played the new version of Minecraft? You talk about like 1.18 with the underground vines and stuff you know I've done I've played the snapshots it's pretty good I mean by far the best version of Minecraft so far. When do you think China will invade Taiwan if they ever do? After Biden makes a few more blunders then we can expect a some kind of build up to happen there as China loses or as the US loses global confidence China will have a much greater ability to project its power I think. How is Bill Gates sketchy in your opinion? It's complicated I couldn't really do it in this or explain it here but I will you know I might make a video on it on another channel if I end up creating it but I'll explain it to you sometime. Do you have a favorite comedian? Hmm Trey Parker and Matt Stone the creators of South Park otherwise I'm not really into stand-up comedy especially since a lot of it sucks today like I think once again South Park did a great commentary on this like we're talking about in the in the future just all comedy is so unoffensive and stale and some people somehow people aren't taking it like it's the greatest thing ever like I feel like a lot of this is already happening today like some of these comedian comedians that the media is just propagating it's just like oh watch this guy and like YouTube keeps recommending Jimmy Kimmel he's like my least favorite comedian he's just so unfunny like it's not even the political stuff it's just like he's impressed by his own ability to be full of a lot of these feminist comedians are like that too it's just embarrassing the state of comedy today at what age did you start to become knowledgeable? I always like to say that I really didn't know anything until about six months ago that's what I say all the time because I think that I know a lot but then six months back I'll realize or six months later I'll realize that at a time I really didn't know that much so it's always an ever-changing view of the world and I think that's just a great thing it's just to keep pursuing knowledge. What are your next videos? I'm planning two already three actually uh I'm gonna talk about the collective security treaty organization and the Commonwealth of Independent States and why they're different and kind of how they work with Russia's sphere of influence. Then I'm gonna talk about the important relationship between the United States and Indonesia in the future and finally a controversial one why I think that there's a great possibility that Canada won't exist by 2100. What's your opinion on universal basic income? I do not know like it seems that how are we gonna get the funds for universal basic income that's where I have a trouble with it but uh I also feel like people need to be really incentivized to work so I'm not really and I don't really have a strong opinion on it but I'd say people should really try figuring out other ways to make money then just hoping the government will give them money. You make good videos thank you. Have you watched Russell Howard? No I have not I'll have to look him up as well. I'll have to write some of these names here that you guys are telling me about. Estonia claims part of the Peskov region is received by Russia after the Soviet occupation. Most Russian live in these territories. What will happen if these territories are getting to Estonia? I seriously doubt that anything like that will happen so I'm not sure I mean the only possible way I can see this happening is if Russia just has a complete collapse. The entire country is balkanized and all that but if that happens I feel like there would just continue to um uh just severe make the uh make the ethnic tensions within Estonia already a bit more severe. I just uh tighten the divisions between the Estonians and Russians in the country. Opinions on the political compass? I think it doesn't tell a lot I mean relative to what it says the questions can relative to the bounds it has the questions can give you an accurate reading of I don't know how to describe it exactly but I just don't think that the political compass is very uh encompassing really. It uh doesn't tell the full story and because political views are much more complicated than that. If Alexander Navalny was president of Russia how do you think he would differ from Putin's rule? Oh I think that in most ways he would differ from Putin's rule. He wouldn't be quite as uh I guess dictatorial as Putin but I feel like in the country just based on the civilization that Russia is in and also the kind of geography they have kind of predisposes them to having strongman rulers and because of how weak their geography is they're not separated from separated by oceans from any threats so they kind of need to have a strong centralized state to really keep going and I think that's what the people think and that's why I don't think it would be likely for anybody like him who have more western democratic ideals to really become influential and or to really gain any serious power. Do you think Egypt will collapse? I think it's possible just because of the rising problems in the country such as the rising unemployment and poverty and also the population is booming and the Nile is getting slightly drier but I have more hope for Egypt as Ethiopia is starting to go into uh a bit of a crisis with this civil war going on. Everyone's acting against the building principles yes but there's a limit to do that in Turkey. Turkey is a democratic country. Undoubtedly I also recommend you watch Kraut's three videos about Turkey for your thesis. Thank you for the recommendation. All right this will probably be my last question. Thoughts on Trump, Biden, Obama, President's in your lifetime essentially? I don't really want to talk about Obama or Trump but I will give my opinion on Biden. I think that he I have serious doubts that he's really the one in charge of everything. He's very feeble and just considering the way he brings himself about just his rhetoric is awful. He can't he can't speak. He can't really be a true leader I think and he's just created so many blunders with the gas prices rising. The the border situation like the southern border is experiencing some major issues. Inflation is pretty high for a western country. I mean it's not like anything we've seen in like Turkey or Venezuela or Iran but it's still pretty high for a western country and just what he did in Afghanistan and they're kind of just the smug attitude of the administration. So oh yeah we'll we'll do these things we'll get them all out and then when they didn't it's like boy you didn't ever expect you didn't really expect us to get these people out of Afghanistan did you? See I have a very very negative view of Biden. I think he's an awful president and it's just unfortunate that the world has to deal with the the strongest country in the world having this kind of leadership. So okay so that'll probably be it. Thank you for all of you who showed up and probably some other people will watch after I uploaded this but yeah you'll definitely see me within the next two months or after two months. Now I'll be working fixing some different things within the channel like rebranding it maybe even a channel name change just making the thumbnails a bit different just updating the channel making it more professional and I uh might upload a video or two like within the break period like maybe my video on Canada I'll upload but yeah we'll see. Thank you for all your support and I'll see you guys relatively soon.
