I could attend lectures from you two with no loss of attention for hours and hours! Always leave away wiser every time I watch your videos. Hopefully more and people , especially Americans will be watching you and benefit from your immense wisdom and knowledge. 52 Greg Olsen Greg Olsen 2 days ago The US has been at war 227 out of 245 years since her birth on 1776. America has lost its sense of reason, morality and credibility. It seems that Washington does not want to accept the fact that in the new geopolitical realities there is no place for a unilateral dictatorship 106 Kimberley - Survival Harbin Kimberley - Survival Harbin 2 days ago To be honest, the U.S. government is known to put tariffs, bans countries which dont agree with them and sanctions countries who dont obey to them, this include Canada and Germany which put sanctions on them so this is some part of U.S. thinking like the British empire, i know my government willing to work with the U.S. but cant be trusted - Period! 52 Escus Krista Escus Krista 2 days ago "New Cold War" = An excuse for Imperialist suppressions 130 Robert Jung Robert Jung 2 days ago Fear mongering can have negative effects.

We are witnessing miracles in China: Succeed in the war of poverty, belt and road strategy, carbon reduction through sand afforestation&forestation, and development of infrastruction. I do believe those miracles benefit both humankind and the world.
