Such a wonderful and insightful lecture. Loved every minute of it!

How will one say that wilt is the best when he succumbs to vanity over victory?

Thank you, Professor. By accident, I found some of your various interviews and now RUclips is presenting more and more of your stuff to me. For a long time I have been saying what you have said about the Vietnam war, which is basically that it cannot be considered a loss for the United States because it has resulted in a unified state, with which we enjoy diplomatic and commercial relations. A state which got the attention of the Chinese by saying that they might actually offer us a naval base on their coast. The Chinese stopped bothering their fishermen . They know how to maneuver. The government of the Philippines might be able to learn from them. Thanks again.

That was very informative!

Having these presentations shown on youtube, allow thousands of history nuts,such as myself the ability to see and hear what we are not able to attend.

Could the Hosho which was iin the invasion force have been included in the Kido Butai. Could it keep up? Did it have pilots in training on board. Did it launch airplanes at Midway

I cant believe no one watches these ive been watching them for over a yr along with havard lectures m.i.t. lectures i basically got around 50 k worth of college classes free on RUclips

100% they are banging irl

This is ridiculous. Stop focusing on emotional knee jerk reactions and out that energy into isntreal and the CCP. We the people have had it with the gender and identity politics. When it all goes down the drain I’m going to remind people of conversations like this one. Very soon the world is going back to rural farming communities and then everyone will have their place. A place where women can have actual purpose and respect and men can have actual purpose and respect. This country is doomed. Stop trying to act like nothing is wrong. Women do not belong on a battlefield or anywhere near the planning offices.

Upvote this comment if you're Navy staff and have to suffer through this DEI nonsense as we are on the precipice.

The usa, at least, is talking about it seriously and being playing space dominice like we play sea dominice, so everyone wants and needs nato to the of this first if ypu like Russians not stomping through Europe I'd take polands stance 2%+ does anyone wanted crazed dictatorship like north Korea

Pitin was offered into poland

Read or listen peter ziehan

Chomasky wrote manufacturing concent but he a socialist talking point and when i asked him way hes so anti American he said hes not he thinks the usa is the best country's and someone has to be of countys moraralitys voice

“No pilot no parachute just one terrified passenger”!!!

Amazing video, thank you!

Amazing!

Airborne drone defense doesn't have to be a multi-million dollar system. Russians are literally begging for shotguns on frontlines of Ukraine.... which makes me think about a c-ram that fires shotgun shells.... ignore the not needing a multi-million dollar defense part at the beginning and start building this!!

Token

Hamas hides behind there civilians because they know that every civilian who gets killed in the cross fire bolsters there cause. Palestinians are also very pro hamas and do not really want peace.

That completely changed my view of the Vietnam War on several aspects. Thank you for making this wonderful lecture available.

The war in Vietnam left the Soviets teetering and the Warsaw Pact countries angry. The Soviet Union could not stay solvent supporting 30 million Poles who were on strike, Reagan's "starwars" missile defense, and the Saudis flooding the oil market. It was a hand well played.

Russia did not lose the cold war the soviet union disassembled. Everywhere american troops hit dirt, soviet involvement tipped the balance. China, Korea, Vietnam, Angola, Cuba. The statement is a nice fairy tale though.

I am 22 minutes into this lecture and feeling like it is the real-est thing I have ever seen

I really feel this guy pain bc although the condition and food weren't as bad but the extreme isolation in America's worst units that gitmo called communication control unit they are called CCM in terrahaute Indiana and Marion Illinois theres also a ted talk on in I was the as a balancer to they didn't look racist bc I'm white and all the rest where right and left wing terriost and of course middle east terriost what I was called was a balancer

This country has 2 communication control units besides gitmo one in Marion and one in terrahaute where you get fed but you speak to absolute no one you can here anything you never leave your cell it has a a shower u can read your mail on a monitor no guard comes into you cell u are essentially buried alive

Also - I think a sensitivity analysis on India aligning with the west shows potential India will play both sides and it makes sense and its also a function of her right wing BJB governance which has pretty much attack all its democratic institutions while also dismantling its secular founding pillars. Its membership with BRICS and her free-trade agreement with United Kingdom potentially sidelines the United State’s of America. It’s a reason why we should try to pivot India as another power defending the International democratic orders. Also, correct me if I am wrong but India is a formidable ally especially with her reinvestment into her chip manufacturing industry which is also a critical reason why Taiwan is important?

Its true - its important to not make countries like ASEAN choose between united states and china but there are two things to consider that Asian culture including Indian culture is rooted in Dharma philosophy but also builds on Confucian teaching with places family at the centre of their governance model. The idea is respect for father, mother etc. its indeed central to Asian governance structures - its important to note that because Singapore and ASEAN countries also carry these governance structure but the idea of individuality and liberty is a result of expansion of knowledge. An example here is the export of lgbt ideology by the west, where marriage and love is more about romance but whilst in many countries marriage still remains part of the governance institution such as a marriage based on finance and alliance like in the UK years ago. These are spaces where i think we need to learn to listen and push less. Still - we can influence by leading by example. But anyway - the argument i am making - I think - is that expanding knowledge actually pushes a population towards embracing democracy which is the model the united state is pushing - note, not capitalism but democracy. From this perspective - the united states and its constitution represent a milestone in human history in asserting that the people can and should govern and as more people gain knowledge and confident, they should adopt or embrace democracy. Unless climate change significantly weakens our ability to cope then we turn to being led by a “strong leader”

This was a really great session, and gave a ton of information. Thank you!

Interesting that this lecture is called "How Russia lost the Cold War " and not the Soviet Union. So aptly named since every Republic in it was captured and trapped within. When they all had the chance they escaped and ran as far away from Moscow as they could.... Let that Russian paid stooge Mersheimer answer for that one for history....

Ah - Sri Lanka is China’s Achilles heals in its belt and road initiative.

Tommy: So, How much your country will send your Submarine to our US Navy? Japanese Young Guys: That plan should be all of that just for you to make missile, bro. Tommy: That's too much, i hope your emperor is not angry to us anyways. Japanese Young Guys: When you will go to USA bro, i can't watch to see you will destroy the enemy with your missile. Tommy: I will go in the beginning of June. Going through the Immigrant, huh this Indonesian people is like disagree with me when i share going to USA. Just Relax, your time has come. Japanese Young Guys: Call me when you arrive in Los angeles. Taijo

It was a tie.

Boyd is a sham.

Also - the United States of America and her power structure represent something different, while a flawed democracy; a first global republic or order of sort. So, a rebirth of the United States of America would represent the second global republic which is a continuation of the international democratic global order but one that focuses on good governance and a shift towards equity, human rights and progress. I believe the United States Military should intervene in the Israel / Gaza Genocide. It could then use a trial to well upgrade the United State’s democracy. The genocide will open up accounts across the world. See, I feel bold in my demands the united states can use the above to negotiate an end to the genocide. It will safe Israel face but the trial should be fair and it should include the President of the united states of America. There were a war or two we went for democracy, then someone figured out just how much war creates profits and so now our soldiers needs to go fight wars. It’s fair to argue those who suffered the most due to these misled policies were our soldiers themselves, so there is also a moral aspect to it. Plus, we must confront the horror of war and understand the value of life. Also - any congress individuals caught taking bribes, etc in excess where its clear their interest have been brought should face criminal charges since the entire trial serves to address corruption. It sounds harsh but we seek no physical harm to these individuals, and the exercise serves to expose corruption. From a national interest perspective, allowing corporate interest to override say expert advice, each said corrupt politicians represent security nodes for the nation that have been compromised. Also, any individual capable of allowing corporate interest to guide how they govern the nation is by default an individual who is easily manipulated. While i understand my proposal sounds radical, I felt its important to speak up especially when it comes to the security and well being of our people. So yes - I believe the United State’s Military calling for a ceasefire, and calling for a trial. You got the people’s attention, and let give them a crash course on national security and oust those corrupt fools and their techniques.

How come Ukraine and her war is not seen as a diversion tactic? My analysis shows Ukraine serves to create a diversion and the attack is dismantling Europe and North America’s food security. It makes more sense when you position Israel as not a friend but acting against the American democracy and using starvation to carry out a genocide. Hence why Ukraine is a diversion, Israel genocide is the real attack on United State’s or the International’s normative power structure. Precisely why the ICC and United Nation both are left without any legitimacy after its failure. So, when you then lay the framework of china leading united nation food program, Russia targeting Ukrainian’s agricultural land and industry with both the policies of china and Russia aggressively securing agricultural land - Then it becomes clear Ukraine is a diversion and Israel’s war is the real attack on our democracy. See, the entire united state military doctrine is stuck in the cold war with ussr and imo, and with respect and humility - i argue represents a significant vulnerability. You also have to understand we see this structural vulnerability in the presenter because NATO and Kiev moving towards Europe precisely did alienate Russian interest. There is a believe democracy and America’s governance model is superior which i agree and why I stand with the United States but we can measure the governance model by assigning a sort of efficiency, which i would argue signficantly reduced after Hoover integration of security and its ability to override the united state’s constitution and Nixon monetary policies. From here - I am Canadian, but the United States played an important role in my life and so, i advocate in the national interest of the United State’s and the importance of is restoring her governance model, aka remove the leverage both industries and Israel holds aka restore the constitution. Those two should undo the way corporations can distort the American democracy. An example is how our information channel (media, ads, etc) are distorted presenting corporate interest. Precisely - take the very real issue of recruiting, yet what is the role of our sugar industry here. The sugar industry and her ability to override the united state’s constitution creates an inefficiency in our governance model. So, China and her central planning - well, it gives her more ability to maneuver during a time of rapid technological changes and leaps. Here, the democracy is a far superior model but the same said media uses division (racial, cop vs. community, men vs women, trans issues, etc. these are all identity politics and represents tools to oppress the American people and shift the decision making to a very few. The United State of America is behind when it comes to artificial intelligence to China, and China has also both expanding her military quickly, and securing alliances with the global south. While its true, she is using debt trap diplomacy , her calculus offers what the west gives plus a little bit more, so the Global South and even Europe see China as a leader. From here - we see not only the undoing of the United State’s of America but also Canada and the global democratic order. Ah - perhaps now it makes sense why I have been pretty passionate about standing up for the United States. we need to address corruption and part of that exposure is our intelligence officers explaining the use of psychological warfare, both individual and against the United States of America’s public. The modern democracy meets its death, will it experience a rebirth? Well, you use psychological warfare because you do not think the vast majority of Americans are capable of making decisions for themselves and overtime, you become similar to the very thing you have fought against. Let face it - the united states of America is run by a bunch of powerful corporate interest. In fact, internal warfare should be seen as a serious and potential threat but the real existential threat is climate change. Its a drought to be more precise because that can send waves of millions of refugees which would both destabilize regions and the us. It is the number one security we face as a nation yet and again, due to corporate interest, half if Americans are against any climate policies. That is a product if your psychological warfare against your own citizen. So, I believe my assessment is correct, the United State’s needs a re-birth, focused on a new kind of nationalism but one that see all of her and all her shades as one people and a focus on equity and progress.

The opium war is what the century of shame

The second half of this became a woke morality lecture instead of a strategic overview lol 🚮 🚮🚮

Beautiful. Americans love to belittle themselves in simulations. They are of the worst form and worst resource that the American military will never win. I don’t know how many people on earth would believe that and they are making the worst mistake in their lives.

I worry about private mercenaries because of an increase flow of migrations and thus source of cheap labour. Another reason why climate change is the most severe existential threat we face but also why good building democratic governance in the global south is key for our national interest and future.

MacArthur was a self emulating SOB, and today would be walking around with an ankle monitor.

I would argue the Author is underestimating China’s aid model here. It actual while rejects the interventionist policies of us and IMF, work with reinforcing existing leadership structure and creates partnerships. Here, a grass root approach therefore may better counter China’s model which works with the nation establishments

Climate literacy is a duty for each citizen because we need to live in a new world where our planet may forever be more hostile, and from this perspective - there is an need for both peace and collaboration. From a security perspective - we cannot underestimate the security risk climate change poses. For instance - a drought could send millions into our borders, increase risk of regional conflict and war. Our institutions simply would fail to adapt … so, why not start now. Also - given the ads time, reaching climate literacy is not very hard, follow the information channels; so tapping into influences etc. Plus climate literacy is also important to building community resilience a term used to talk about the connections people hold. Similarly - its about food justice, learning about environment, climate may encourage more people to hold a garden in their homes, etc. all these lead to prosperity and security but they certainty challenge many structures in our society. Hence - it’s a will we miss and a political will. Big oil and gas undermine our climate policies because they want to control the renewables and why they are also buying up farmlands. We must not let our capitals fall for the industries that exist at our mercy. They serve our national interest - not the other way around. Plus its time we truly allow our nations to reach their ideal, to truly become free!

I wonder why we are not seeing Israel/Gaza as another front, except Israel is against democracies. From such a perspective - Ukraine serves as a distraction. Russia is to China what Israel was to United States during the cold war.

What an incredible holistic historical evaluation of the period.

Ah, memories! In 1965 I got ahold of an English translation of Gen. Giap's book "People's War, People's Army". I read it and learned of what Prof. Paine called "half court tennis". I realized that the U.S. was fighting a war it had made up in its head. General Giap was fighting the real war, and for that reason we were going to lose. West Point made the book mandatory reading in 1996, only a generation late.

Mahan is right about ancient wars being fought out today, it has to do with the way alliance shifts - while, some possibilities and changes happen - its cycles and often, you end up similar reinforced lines.

Since I lived through this era, I can relate to these topics. One documentary that exposed the Soviet Union's lack of concepts was when they attempted to conduct a beauty pageant. It was sad to watch.

...didn't appreciate the under drones BS, I learned as God, if memory serves. Guess he was being FUNNY?
