It is true Singapore has been quietly doing and contributing good ideas to many countries who are interested in years ago when I was in a city in China, I noticed there were many workers planting trees along central road divider. My Chinese counterpart mentioned "must have copied all these from

Mr. Kishore Mahbubani is always brilliant in his analysis of geopolitics. He calls a spade a spade.

[VisvivaMediaSdnBhd]

I'm a big fan of Mr. Mahbubani, I even think he should act in The God Father IV or some epic movies; he is a total package: brain and look.

[mapletibits]

A brilliant man with a brilliant mind. We hope Mr Mahbubani to live another 20 or 30 years and bringing peace between countries!

It would be great if Sg has a weekly talk by various speakers to share their views on geopolitics which can be attended by anyone but mostly the youth in Sg and Asean region.
Perhaps we can become a country where people sharing different views can come here to discuss difficult issues but always respectfully and sensitively and with restraint.

Fantastic massage for young people of Asian nations

You can watch this at 1.25 or 1.5x speed... then Kishore is speaking at the right pace.

[mrkhoo]

KM is (imho) a truly great Indian Singaporean Asian man who will leave a great legacy and I hope his predictions are correct and his warnings heeded by those in power.

The most Diverse Trading Partnership in the World Is BRICS PLUS!!!

[happypanda]

I'm just a common man on the street watching and reading the ongoings of the geopolitics especially between the two big superpowers, USA & China.
Imagine Asean countries are several small magnets held together by its own magnetic forces, one can see that there are two huge external magnets with their increasing intense rivalry beginning to pull them away, my fear one day, will Asean finally breakoff ?

[HulakariHulakari-juyb]

Quality of Ted discussions used to be very high but I feel in recent years they have fallen off a cliff

[timetraveller]

We are and have always lived in a Multi Pollar World, just that it has been more of a Domination than the American Hegemony!!!

[JWscandi]

I think Kishore was just joking about putting up sensors at the India China border to prevent skirmishes.
Then Singapore also need not constantly monitoring her neighbours and can completely disband the US navy base.

A half of ASEAN join BRICS. ASEAN was tied up without effective bond.

The Taiwan issue is the last piece of colonialism and will be resolved in due course.

It is time that Western imperialism and colonialism finally come to an end. That’s why politicians in the West are hysterical and delusional and desperate to stop the rise of China. The so called “coming collapse of China”is, in reality, the coming collapse of imperialism and colonialism, or the collapse of global hegemony.

For the last 500 hundred years before the beginning of the collapse of colonialism in the 1950s, Europe had been colonizing the rest of the world, mainly for its endless resources and cheap labor to feed its own economic growth. The West had been fighting wars among themselves for colonies and control of raw materials and energy. Ever since the end of the WW2, independence movements across the globe had first set free countries in Asia, followed by Latín America, the Middle East and lastly Africa. The West is, now, no longer able to get free resources or labor or land, to support its dominance over developing countries, or the global South in general.

Under these circumstances, Europe, or the West including Japan, is losing its own economic independence; they are relying heavily or existentially on the support of the U.S. In the meantime, on the other hand, the global South with the cooperation among the BRICS COUNTRIES like China, Russia, Brazil, South Africa and so on, are focusing on their own economic growth and social development. The new world order is emerging with multipolarity and international democracy for shared prosperity. The West is feeling the heat and threat of its hegemonic collapse. That’s why they are following the marching order of the U.S., in its proxy war in Ukraine against Russia. The European countries have become totally dependent on the U.S. for its resources and strength. Without their old colonies, they submit themselves now completely to the hegemony of the U.S.

However, with the united front between China and Russia, the global south is awakening to a new world order. They see their hope and prosperity in China’s BRI as well as the strategies of the BRICKS. That’s why the West can not defeat Russia in Ukraine because it doesn’t have the unlimited resources it used to enjoy with their colonies gone foreverf.

The bottom line is how can the West or NATO expect to beat the united front between Russia and China in the long run without getting into a nuclear Armhcsageddon?!

ASEAN needs greed for power. ASEAN needs to be an hegemony....
