[ShawnMathew]

This video will not be controversial at all and will lead to a civil discussion in the comment section.

The US is that rare democracy where the guys with fewer votes win regularly.

[tallesteva]

So he highlights China's $5T national debt without even mentioning the USs $26T national debt!
Yeah! Totally not biased, at all!!

[beepboopsloane]

Why would China put their country so close to US foreign bases? So aggressive.

So aggressive of them..

[jasondads]

[labkeeper]

Funniest statement i heard in the whole video: "US is the biggest contributor to world peace".

Everything this so called Professor asserts as fact is highly debatable. For a supposed scholar his analysis is incredibly shallow and more Fox News and CNN talking points.

[apatheticbroadcast]

Oh boy I can't wait to find fair and respectful conversations in the comment section!
