YouTubers I’m Currently Subscribed to: Huey Li – The Chinese Comedian Turned Political Scientist 🇨🇳

(This is a screenshot of Huey Li from his video on Trump killing NATO called Why Trump killing NATO will be the end of the modern way of life as we know it..)

Now that I have my posts about Wylde Pak and Lilo & Stitch (2025) out of the way, and I can finally talk about this guy ♂︎ as I originally planned. Every time I want to write about this guy ♂︎, he ends up posting a video before I even get the chance to type a single letter. You’ll see why it’s important for me to write this before his next video pretty soon. Keep reading to find out. If you want to read those posts I just mentioned, here are the links: here and here. This is the second episode (I guess you could say) or second entry of a new series that I started earlier this month called YouTubers I’m Currently Subscribed To, where I basically write about a YouTuber I’m currently subscribed to, and basically talk about what I like about them and their content, and even what I don’t like about them and their content. I can be harsh in my criticisms, but just know that it comes from a place of wanting to be honest instead always sugar coating everything just because it’s a content creator I’m currently subscribed. I can always unsubscribe from a YouTube channel if I feel unsatisfied with them and their content, it’s no skin off of my chest. I don’t get emotionally attached to YouTubers I’m subscribed to, or at least, I try not to.  

 

The first one I wrote was on Elvira Bary, a Russian-American YouTuber 🇷🇺🇺🇸, who I used to be subscribed to. Now, for the second one, I’m going to talk about Huey Li, a political YouTuber from China 🇨🇳 who mostly focuses on foreign policy and geopolitics, but also occasionally talks about domestic politics, mostly of the United States 🇺🇸 but also China 🇨🇳, his original home country, as well. He’ll also occasionally make videos about economics, like the one he made recently about the stock market when the stock market was going down 📉 due to Trump’s on again/off again tariffs on Canada 🇨🇦 and Mexico 🇲🇽. More on Canada 🇨🇦 and Mexico 🇲🇽 later. I’m going to be linking a bunch of his videos throughout this video so you can watch them after you read this or watch them while you’re reading this because I think his videos are great and you should check them out. His channel’s full name is Huey Li and the news, and his rapidly becoming one of my favorite YouTubers of all time, second only to Sarcasmitron, the greatest political YouTuber of all time, on the entire platform, he’s the greatest, no contest, but ol’ Huey boy ♂︎ comes pretty darn close. 

 

But, going back to Elvira Bary for a little bit. I said “used to” because like I said in the update, I unsubscribed from her recently (before I got sick 🤧) because I got fed up with her and her content. I mean, I always kind of thought she was bit kooky in some of the things she said, like her stupid Sphinx Method bullshit, and some of the things she said about countries and how they act. I always thought she was wrong about people and wrong about countries. The first mistake she made was personifying countries, making it seem like they have personality traits that can be determined, and that we should base our foreign policies around that. It was really stupid shit. My breaking point where she made a video about America 🇺🇸, and truly showed the limits of her “insights.” 

 

But, the part that truly rubbed me the wrong way and convinced me that she didn’t actually know what she was talking about was when she was talking about American women 🇺🇸♀︎, and what American women 🇺🇸♀︎ should do with their lives. She basically said that American women 🇺🇸♀︎ should just be baby factories, their purpose to have babies and be mothers. It’s a societal mistake that women ♀︎ were allowed to have careers instead of being restricted to being mothers, according to her. As if she herself didn’t pursue a career before having any kids of her own. Rules for thee, and not me. And all this because America 🇺🇸 has a declining birth rate, you know that bullshit 😒. Declining birth rates are often used as a excuse to restrict women ♀︎’s rights and limit their role in society to just being stay-at-home mothers, when not every woman ♀︎ wants to be a stay-at-home mother or is capable of being a stay-at-home mother. Not every woman ♀︎ is equipped to do that. 

 

Does she, or anyone else who bitches about the birth rate, realize that’s why we have immigration? Immigration is a great supplement or solution to declining birth rates because you’re bringing more people in and thus increasing the population and keeping it at a healthy level, even if the “native” born population isn’t having babies. Plus, it diversifies gene pool 🧬, which is good for any population, you don’t want the gene pool 🧬 of a population to become stagnate and to be homogeneous because then they’ll be more susceptible to disease and other ailments. This is why anti-immigration sentiments and nativism is ultimately self-destruction, you’re destroying your population in the long run by not allowing people from other countries to immigrate to yours. 

 

This is why Russia 🇷🇺’s population is declining because they have a low birth rate (largely caused by Soviet era policies ☭) and they don’t accept many immigrants, certainly not enough to make up the difference and to get to replacement levels. Many Russian citizens 🇷🇺 also have anti-immigration sentiments, especially towards Central Asia, they do not like having immigrants coming in from Central Asia, even though all of Central Asia (except Afghanistan 🇦🇫) used to be apart of the Russian Empire 🇷🇺 and the Soviet Union ☭. It’s their loss, just like it’ll be our loss if we deport all of our immigrants and then close the door to any new ones.

 

This is why people say that Japan 🇯🇵 should start accepting more immigrants because their birth rate is pretty bad, and they don’t accept many immigrants. Their population has mostly remained homogeneous, which is why white supremacists and white nationalists like Japan 🇯🇵 so much. Even though, they’re just as racist towards Japanese people 🇯🇵 as they are to every other race, they see Japan 🇯🇵 as a model for the type of ethnostate they want to create for white people. Same reason why they like Israel 🇮🇱 even though they hate Jews ✡️. 

 

But, if Japan 🇯🇵 started accepting more immigrants, then it would remedy some of the population issues they face. It’s not a perfect solution, but it is certainly better than what the Japanese government 🇯🇵 is doing now to try to solve the population problem. The same goes for South Korea 🇰🇷. South Korea 🇰🇷 has a birth rate that’s worse than Japan 🇯🇵’s, and they similarly have a pretty homogeneous population, so they could accept more immigrants too.

But, the worst part is that she said that the only reason women get jobs and have to get attention, or something like that. Like she said that women ♀︎ desire external validation, and because most of them can’t become mothers because the state doesn’t provide anything to mothers to motherhood more desirable and comfortable, they decide to have jobs and careers instead. How out of touch and tone deaf can you be? Maybe, she didn’t mean it like that, but she didn’t do a good job of explaining if she did mean it like that or not. She’s not the best at articulating her points, or really defending her positions on anything at all. Every time I would leave a comment on one of her videos that was critical of something she said, she wouldn’t even try to defend herself or her arguments. The most she ever said to me while I was still subscribed to her was “thanks for watching,” and I couldn’t even tell if she meant that in a genuine way or a passive aggressive way. 

 

I also felt she was being too soft on Donald Trump, she was dealing with him with kid gloves on, refusing to call him out by name like she does Vladimir Putin. So, I cut her loose and unsubscribed from her. Good riddance. In the end, she was just a silly woman ♀︎ who was full of herself, who thought she was a psychologist when all she was  a silly author who thought she had the key to understanding the human condition and international relations when she really didn’t. All she has kooky ideas that have no real world applications. And yet, despite all that, she has an adoring comment section that practically trips over itself to tell her what genius she is, which no doubt inflated her ego to the size of Mars (or Venus since she’s a woman ♀︎ and the female symbol ♀︎ is the Venus symbol ♀︎), which is one of the things that separates Huey Li from her in my mind. 

 

 

 

(This is another screenshot of Huey Li from his video on Trump killing NATO called Why Trump killing NATO will be the end of the modern way of life as we know it..)

Unlike Elvira Bary’s comment section, Huey Li’s comment section is not an echo chamber. There are still people in his audience (or people who visit his channel while seeing his videos in the suggested feed) who are willing to criticize him and leave comments on his video that openly disagree with what he said in the video. And his channel is still small enough to where he hasn’t developed an inflated ego (even though Elvira Bary’s channel around the same size as Huey Li’s, and she still developed an ego), and is willing accept the fact that he will get criticism for the things he says in his videos and takes it. But, he’s also confident enough in his own arguments that he’s willing to defend them when he deems it necessary, against people who openly disagree with him and are arguing against him in good faith. Even people who are arguing against him in bad faith. 

 

He gets a lot of haters on his channel, and while most people would ignore such people or block them, remove their comments or hide them as soon as they’re posted, Huey still engages with them. He’s more patient man than I. I would have no tolerance for such people, especially since not all of them are actually people, some of them are bots 🤖. Like, actual bots 🤖, not simply trolls 🧌 that disagree with you, or people who are working for Chinese or Russian intelligence 🇨🇳🇷🇺, or people who are paid shills for China 🇨🇳 and/or Russia 🇷🇺, and the countries that are allied with China 🇨🇳 and/or Russia 🇷🇺. He’s humble enough to not be a pushover and he’s confident enough to not be insufferable. At least for now, if Huey Li crosses that line and becomes an egotistical prick, I’ll drop him just like I dropped Elvira Bary. 

(This is the flag of China 🇨🇳.) 

This next section about Huey’s background is going to be a lot shorter than the one I wrote about Elvira Bary because unlike with Elvira, there’s a lot less to go off of when it comes to Huey. He hasn’t talked that much about his background in his videos. I mean, that’s fine, that’s his right, he doesn’t have to disclose his background or his personal life in his videos if he doesn’t want to. If he wants to just focus on the content, and the current topic at hand, that’s fine. But, it does make it hard when you’re trying to write about him in a blog post. 

 

The only thing that we really know about Huey Li is that he’s Chinese 🇨🇳, he’s from China 🇨🇳, like legit mainland China 🇨🇳. Not Hong Kong 🇭🇰, not Taiwan 🇹🇼, not Singapore 🇸🇬, not Malaysia 🇲🇾, not even Thailand 🇹🇭, but the actual China 🇨🇳. Judging by his looks, I would say that he was born in either in the 70s or the 80s, which would make him either younger Gen X or an older Millennial. Maybe an Xennial, a cusp generation in-between Gen X and Millennial. The Gen Z equivalent to that would be a Zennial, a cusp generation in-between Gen Z and Millennial. I’d be genuinely surprised if he said he was in his mid-50s or early 60s, and if so, he looks good for a 50 or 60 something year old. But, he’s likely in his late 30s or early 40s. He looks about the same age as JJ McCullough, that Canadian political YouTuber 🇨🇦 that I used to watch until he made that horrible video on Frutiger Aero. Man, he sucks 😤. I wrote a post about that video that you can read right here. 

 

So, he was born right smack dab in the People’s Republic of China 🇨🇳, that is all he really knows of what China 🇨🇳 was like before he left. He born way after the KMT fled to Taiwan, and reestablished their old government, the Republic of China 🇹🇼. He doesn’t know what it was like to live in a mainland China, controlled by Republic of China 🇹🇼, controlled by the KMT, controlled by any other government or party other than the CCP ☭ and the People’s Republic of China 🇨🇳. 

 

He did live in China 🇨🇳 long enough to know what it was like to live under an authoritarian regime, a one party state, and thus has the insights to recognize when a democracy is slipping into authoritarianism like the United States 🇺🇸. I find his insights on China 🇨🇳 to be…insightful, for lack of a better word. Whenever he talks about China 🇨🇳, you can tell it’s coming from someone who has lived in China 🇨🇳, who knows the language(s) (I say languages because there is more than one language in China 🇨🇳, China 🇨🇳 is an ethnically diverse country), who knows the culture, who knows the politics of the country, nearly inside and out. You know that it isn’t coming from an outsider looking in, and that’s always appreciated.

That’s why I always like it when a Russian 🇷🇺 actually talks about Russia 🇷🇺, even if not every Russian YouTuber 🇷🇺 is the perfect Russian YouTuber 🇷🇺, who isn’t both pro-Ukraine 🇺🇦 and anti-Putin. Some of them are like that, like Vlad Vexler, Natasha from Natasha’s Adventures, or Victoria Terekhina, or The Russian Dude 🇷🇺♂︎, or hell, even NFKRZ, but not all. Eli from Russia 🇷🇺 is pretty trash, she’s basically a Kremlin propagandist even if she constantly says that she’s not. The fact that she makes travel content that paints Russia 🇷🇺 in a positive light, that makes Russia 🇷🇺 look like a normal country that isn’t a dictatorship, and isn’t engaged in a genocidal war of aggression against Ukraine 🇺🇦, and purposefully ignores Ukraine 🇺🇦, avoids mentioning Ukraine 🇺🇦 in her videos, and hardly ever includes actual Ukrainians 🇺🇦 in her videos.

 

And the ones she does include in her video, they’re conveniently ones who both don’t live in Ukraine 🇺🇦 and live in Russia 🇷🇺, but also have nothing to say about Russia 🇷🇺 trying to conquer their homeland and claim it as their own, and seemingly have no problem with it and don’t at all feel conflicted about mingling with a Russian content creator 🇷🇺 while that war is going on, makes a her propagandist in my eyes. In the words of the great Spaghetti Kozak 🍝 from SK Media, if you saying and doing things that the Kremlin supports or doesn’t have a problem with, then you are objectively supporting Putin. And then of course, I spend almost the entire first half of this post talking about how terrible Elvira Bary is despite how pro-democratic, pro-Ukraine 🇺🇦, and anti-Putin she claims to be. 

 

If you want to watch a few videos of his where he talks about China 🇨🇳 specifically, or things related to China 🇨🇳, watch this one where he talks about how China 🇨🇳 went from having a personal dictatorship (under Mao) to have a collective dictatorship (under Deng Xiaoping and all of the leaders that proceeded him) and then back to a personal one again (under Xi Jinping). And watch this video where he talked about RedNote, the TikTok copycat that became a TikTok alternative before the TikTok ban went into effect and then was delayed, and is even more blatantly Chinese 🇨🇳 and exposed hapless “TikTok refugees 🙄” to Chinese propaganda 🇨🇳, and even turned some people into CCP shills ☭. I think he did two videos on that, one of them was a regular YouTube video and the other was a YouTube Short. I’ll just link the one that’s a regular YouTube video, I think it’s way better than the one that’s a YouTube Short and was probably just a repost from TikTok or whatever. 

 

 

 

(This is the flag of the United States 🇺🇸.) 

At some point, Huey Li moved to the US 🇺🇸. Or at least, I think he moved to the US 🇺🇸. He obviously doesn’t live in China 🇨🇳 anymore. There’s no way he’d be able to express any of the opinions about China 🇨🇳 or any other authoritarian country if he still lived in China 🇨🇳. He’d probably be in jail right now, and I would have no idea who he even is. So, I assume that he lives in the US 🇺🇸. I assume so because he is so damn invested in what happens to this country, so hard on Trump and Musk (which I appreciate him for), that he simply can’t just be an outsider looking in. You can’t be this invested in a country’s politics and what happens to that country internally and even externally if you yourself don’t live in that country, it just doesn’t happen. So, I’m assuming that he lives in America 🇺🇸 and is an American citizen 🇺🇸. Though I’m not 100% sure that he does or not. He’ll probably never read this or find this on his own, I’m hoping to get this done before he puts out his next video so that I can link him this blog post. 

 

But, if he is reading this, if you are reading this, Huey Li, hi, welcome to this blog, I talk about movies, TV, streaming, cartoons, anime, and of course, politics and culture on here, feel free to look around after you’re done reading this. If I got anything wrong about your personal details, the details of your life and your background and how you got to where you are now as a content creator on YouTube, TikTok, and Bluesky, please let me know in the comments, so I can correct it or add to it. It’d be much appreciated, and please, let me know what you think of this post overall, if you liked it or didn’t like it. I didn’t get a response of any kind from my last subject, Elvira Bary, it was just as I thought, she would never find it and she wouldn’t read it. She is still mostly unaware of my existence and the existence of this blog, and unaware of what I wrote about her. But you, don’t have to be like her, Huey, you can read this, be aware of what I wrote about it, and respond in kind if you feel so inclined to do so. That’s why I linked you this post. 

 

(This is yet another screenshot of Huey Li from his video about Trump killing NATO called Why Trump killing NATO would be the end of the modern way of life as we know it..)

Speaking of TikTok, I should probably address the title, the whole “comedian turned political scientist” thing. The title is actually kind of a lie because I think he became a political scientist, he got a political science degree before becoming a comedian. And he didn’t really start putting his political science degree to good use until after he stopped being a stand up comedian and become a content creator full time on both TikTok and YouTube. Again, like with a lot of things related to ol’ Huey boy ♂︎ here, I don’t know the exact order of events of which things happened in his life first, why is why I’m hoping he reads this, and can correct me on some of this stuff. 

 

So, as far as I know, as far as I’ve been able to piece together from his videos, he left China 🇨🇳 and came to the US 🇺🇸, where he then went to college or university and got a doctorate degree in political science, but didn’t enter a field where a political science degree would be of any use. Instead, he became a stand up comedian, and he got bored of that, and decided to become an online content creator where you could finally put his political science degree to good use and talk politics. He started out on TikTok, he was a TikToker, and then he expanded to YouTube and became a YouTuber. So, he’s not a YouTube native like me, he’s a YouTube immigrant. He’s an immigrant in more ways than one, just as I’m a native in more ways than one 😄. His background as a comedian does help him in his content, and probably explains all of the witty remarks in his videos. He’s able to make his video funny 😆 and entertaining and not dull and boring, which is how a lot of political videos can be, especially geopolitical videos.

The fact that he was a TikToker prior to becoming a YouTuber kind of makes him a menace in my eyes because I hate TikTok, I think it’s the worst social media/video sharing platform on the Internet, one of the worst apps ever created. It’s at least responsible for about 95% of the problems we face on the Internet 🛜 today. Every bad Internet trend 🛜 as of late starts out as a bad TikTok trend. Anyone who uses it is a sucker, even the content creators, which I think it was a smart move by Huey to shift more of his focus towards YouTube and away from the clock app ⏰. 

 

I actually supported the TikTok ban, or I do support since that law is still in effect where BitDance still has to sell the app to non-Chinese company 🇨🇳 otherwise it’ll get banned in the US 🇺🇸. I think the Internet 🛜, and by extension, the world would be a much better place without TikTok around. Especially seeing how people were acting before the ban went into effect and how they acted after it was lifted and pushed back for another 90 days, and what has come out of TikTok since then. Nothing good, mostly. If I could snap it out of existence 🫰 like Thanos with the Infinity Gauntlet, I would. Sorry Huey, if you like the app, but that’s just how I feel. 

 

 

 

 

(These are some more screenshots of Huey Li from his video on Trump killing NATO called Why Trump killing NATO would be the end of the modern way of life as we know it.. Still don’t know why he insisted on putting a period in the actual itself, it looks tacky as hell, but whatever. It’s a choice. Call it creative differences. These are the last ones from that video, I swear.)

I started watching Huey Li’s videos around January or February of this year, maybe even December of last year. It was certainly around that time, it was before Trump was inaugurated that’s for sure. The first video of his that I watched was the video he made where he talked about Putin’s reasons for invading Ukraine 🇺🇦, and how Putin straight up said that he invaded Ukraine 🇺🇦 to distract the Russian people 🇷🇺 from the domestic issues going on in the country at that time. A tale as old as time. Wars, especially foreign wars, are often used by governments to distract their citizens from whatever domestic problems their country is facing.

 

 

 

 

(These are the flags of Iraq 🇮🇶 and Kuwait 🇰🇼. The Iraqi flag 🇮🇶 you see above is the first Ba’athist flag, used from 1963 to 1991.)

 

 

 

 

You could argue that Saddam Hussein invaded Kuwait 🇰🇼 to distract the Iraqi people 🇮🇶 from the problems that the country was facing after the 8 year long war with Iran 🇮🇷. Problems of course, he just made worse by invading Kuwait 🇰🇼 and getting his ass kicked by the US-led coalition 🇺🇸. If Trump does go through with any of the invasion he’s promised, he’ll do it to distract the American people 🇺🇸 from the domestic issues plaguing the country. The same thing if China 🇨🇳 ever invades Taiwan 🇹🇼, it’ll be to distract the Chinese people 🇨🇳 from whatever domestic issues are plaguing the country at the time, and they’re starting to pile up. Then I watched his videos on China 🇨🇳 and the TikTok ban, which like I said before, I fully supported. But, I didn’t truly fall in love with Huey’s content until I saw his video talking about Elon Musk bringing his harem to work, bringing his kids and his baby mamas to important government meetings and press conferences. 

 

 

 

(This is the flag of India 🇮🇳.)

 

 

 

 

The example he used was the visit by Indian prime minister 🇮🇳 Narendra Modi, where Modi actually met with Musk first before meeting with Trump. Reinforcing the idea that Elon Musk is the real power behind Trump, and is the de facto co-president of the United States 🇺🇸, unelected as he may be. This was meeting BTW was the arms deal between the US 🇺🇸 and India 🇮🇳, where Trump agreed to sell Modi all kind of weapons and equipment, including F-35s. It’s funny, while Trump has pretty much destroyed every relation with Europe, every European democracy, and has even destroyed the relationship with Canada 🇨🇦 despite them being one of our key allies (more on that later), the relationship with India 🇮🇳 has improved significantly. 

 

To the point where India 🇮🇳 wants to buy American arms 🇺🇸 instead of Russian ones 🇷🇺 like they’ve been doing for decades. And this comes as relations between India 🇮🇳 and Canada 🇨🇦 have deteriorated after India 🇮🇳 assassinated a Sikh activist/rebel 🪯 on Canadian soil 🇨🇦. The Indians 🇮🇳 called him a terrorist, but considering how they’ve treated the Sikhs 🪯 and any other ethnoreligious group besides Hindus 🕉️, it’s hard to take their word for it (in fact I don’t think we should), though some Sikhs 🪯 have committed acts of terrorism, such as the bombing of Air India 🇮🇳 Flight 182 ✈️. All in service of trying to create Khalistan, a Sikh state 🪯. 

 

 

 

(This is Khalistan, the hypothetical Sikh state 🪯.) 

 

 

 

 

The Indians 🇮🇳 did the same thing here in the US 🇺🇸, where they assassinated a Sikh individual 🪯 who was associated with the Khalistan movement, and who they also labeled as a terrorist or a terrorist sympathizer after they killed him. But, nothing came of it because the Biden administration didn’t want to piss off the Modi government because they felt that India 🇮🇳 would be necessary in the competition with China 🇨🇳. China 🇨🇳 and India 🇮🇳 don’t like each other (despite them both being in BRICS 🇧🇷🇷🇺🇮🇳🇨🇳🇿🇦 and sharing an ally in Russia 🇷🇺 and Putin specifically), so if the US 🇺🇸 could court India 🇮🇳, then they’d have a leg up in the competition with China 🇨🇳, or so they thought. And now that Trump is back in office, relations with India 🇮🇳 are better than ever because him and Modi are best buds. Probably because they’re both wannabe dictators, they both hate Muslims ☪️, they’re both pro-Russia 🇷🇺, and they’re both pro-Putin. Modi loves Putin 🥰, he practically sucks his dick just like Trump does. 

Modi is Hindu nationalist 🕉️ and a Hindu supremacist 🕉️. He wants to turn India 🇮🇳 into a purely Hindu state 🕉️, and he plans on doing this by persecuting every single ethnoreligious group in the country, including Muslims ☪️ and Sikhs 🪯. He’s already begun doing this by bulldozing mosques 🕌 and passing laws that openly discriminate against Muslims ☪️, as well as encourage extrajudicial killings of Muslims ☪️, similar to how Rodrigo Duterte incited extrajudicial killings of drug addicts and criminals in the Philippines 🇵🇭 when he was president. Of course, it should be noted that the Indian state 🇮🇳 was already persecuting Sikhs 🪯 even before Modi came to power, which is why the Khalistan movement even came to be, why there were Sikh terrorist attacks 🪯 before the Indian government 🇮🇳 assassinated those Sikh leaders 🪯 in both Canada 🇨🇦 and the US 🇺🇸. 

 

 

 

 

(This is the flag of the United Nations 🇺🇳.) 

 

 

 

 

India 🇮🇳 abstained from nearly ever UN vote 🇺🇳 to condemn the Russian invasion of Ukraine 🇷🇺🇺🇦, they haven’t participated in the sanctions against Russia 🇷🇺 for the invasion of Ukraine 🇺🇦, they’ve continued to buy Russian oil 🇷🇺🛢️ (albeit at a discounted price), and they’ve done nothing to stop Russia 🇷🇺 from “recruiting” (really tricking) Indian citizens 🇮🇳 to fight in the war in Ukraine 🇺🇦 as mercenaries and basically be used as cannon fodder in Russia 🇷🇺’s useless meat grinder assaults on Ukrainian positions 🇺🇦. 

 

They are supporting Russia 🇷🇺, they are on Russia 🇷🇺’s side in this war, even if the Indians 🇮🇳 insist that they aren’t and continue to pretend to be neutral. There is no more neutrality in today’s world anymore, you lost the ability to be neutral on this issue the moment Russian bombs 🇷🇺 started dropping on Kyiv and other Ukrainian cities 🇺🇦 and Russian tanks 🇷🇺 rolled into Ukraine 🇺🇦 on February 24, 2024. You also don’t get to be neutral since the Russians 🇷🇺 are essentially committing genocide against the Ukrainians 🇺🇦, even if no one in these international institutions wants to use that word. You’re either with Russia 🇷🇺 or you’re against Russia 🇷🇺, there’s no other option, I’m sorry. But, we shouldn’t be that surprised that India 🇮🇳 took Russia 🇷🇺’s side in this war, India 🇮🇳 was already a pro-Russian state 🇷🇺 even before Modi, going all the way back to the Soviet era ☭. They favored the Soviet Union ☭ over the United States 🇺🇸 during the Cold War, despite officially claiming to be a “non-aligned country.” Pakistan 🇵🇰 was always a much closer and more reliable ally of the US 🇺🇸 than India 🇮🇳. 

 

 

 

 

(This is the flag of Pakistan 🇵🇰.) 

 

 

 

 

Now, Pakistan 🇵🇰 is corrupt and semi-authoritarian state that is facing democratic backsliding, especially in the face of its own right-wing (or left-wing, I don’t know, I don’t think it matters that much) populist demagogue, Imran Khan. He’s currently in prison, serving a 10 year sentence, after he was overthrown in a military coup and then arrested. He also sentenced an additional 14 years after he incited some anti-government protests 🪧. Tensions between Pakistan 🇵🇰 and Taliban-controlled Afghanistan 🇦🇫 have flared up, and they’re engaged in a low level conflict with the Taliban, which has mostly constituted terrorist attacks and border clashes, though it could also result in a full-scale invasion of Afghanistan 🇦🇫 by Pakistan 🇵🇰, if the situation gets worse, and the Taliban ramp up their attacks and continue antagonize Pakistan 🇵🇰. I don’t fully understand the current situation in Pakistan 🇵🇰, I don’t know all of the facts beyond what I just wrote, but the point is that Pakistan 🇵🇰 isn’t doing too great right now. India 🇮🇳 moving closer to the US 🇺🇸 despite its continued close relations with Russia 🇷🇺 is a much more recent phenomenon. 

 

 

 

(This is the flag of Ukraine 🇺🇦.) 

Anyway, what I was saying was that Huey used this meeting between Elon and Modi and the fact that Elon brought his kids and what look to be one of his baby mamas and a babysitter (the blonde woman ♀︎ I’m talking about), to go into a discussion about what he called the “Genghis Khan complex” and how he thinks Elon has it. The Genghis Khan complex, as he laid it out, is basically this complex that certain powerful men ♂︎ get where they all of sudden develop a desire to “spread their seed” as far and wide as possible so that they can have enough children and grandchildren to rule the world, and so generations from now, millions of people will be descended from them and will be able to trace their lineage directly back to them. It’s based on this belief that 1 in 200 men ♂︎ can trace their ancestry back to Genghis Khan, which is sort of true, but not quite. It has been exaggerated over the years. I’ll link you this article IFL Science which looks into the claim and tries to separate the fact from fiction about that claim. Huey was trying to say that Elon has the Genghis Khan complex, which is why he has so many kids and he wants to have more. 

 

 

 

 

(This is the flag of Mars.) 

 

 

 

 

 

Huey and his wife (yes, he is married, according to him) even suggested that Elon is doing this so that he can rule Mars, if we even colonize Mars that is. There are plenty of reasons to doubt Elon’s ability to get us to Mars, given how many empty promises he’s made about Mars exploration and Mars colonization over the past decade. He keeps saying it’s going to happen, but it never does. Just like how he keeps promising the Roadster, and never delivers. Probably should have considering that Tesla’s stock price is going down the shitter. 

 

Huey even brought up the villain plot from Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2, how Ego the Living Planet impregnated one woman ♀︎ of every every species in the known universe and left little parts of him on each planet (which would engulf every planet and turn them into copies of himself when activated) he visited as a way of conquering the entire known universe as a way of explaining what he was talking. Ego’s plan in Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 was an example of the Genghis Khan complex but on a universal scale. He closed out the video with a message to Republican men ♂︎, MAGAs 🇺🇸 specifically, telling that if Elon and the other billionaires in this country have their way, having multiple baby mamas through IVF (which the Republicans are trying to ban at least in certain red states) and surrogacy will be normalized, and their dating prospects will be diminished since all of the women ♀︎ will be taken by the billionaire men ♀︎ in an attempt to spread their seed around like Genghis Khan did 766 years ago. 

And he did single out men ♂︎ when he was explaining this because he said that it’s mostly men ♂︎ who develop Genghis Khan complexes because as far as reproduction goes, men ♂︎ have the easier job. All they do is produce sperm, and then all they have to during reproduction is deposit that sperm into a uterus and impregnate women ♀︎, wham! Their job is done. The real hard work is done by women ♀︎, who have carry that baby that man ♂︎ gave them, and then give birth to that baby. Pregnancy 🤰 and birth is such an uncomfortable, inconvenient, and painful process for women ♀︎, that they just don’t develop the Genghis Khan complexes, Huey argues. I agreed with him and I even left a comment that said if men ♂︎ could give birth just like women ♀︎, the Genghis Khan complex wouldn’t even be a thing. I even got a thumbs up 👍 for that comment from someone, I don’t know who, but that nice. It’s nice to have your comment acknowledged and liked 👍 by someone. 

 

But, that being said, I would say the best candidate for a woman ♀︎ developing a Genghis Khan complex or already having one is Bonnie Blue AKA Tia Billinger (which is her real name), a TikToker who gained notoriety after she had sex with over a thousand men ♂︎ over a single day and night. Given how many men ♂︎ went through her in that revolving door, and how much semen was pumped into her over the course of that 24 hour period, I’d say that there’s a chance of her getting pregnant with at least one of those men ♂︎’s babies. She end up having all kinds of illegitimate child due to her little stunt to gain attention on social media. It’s good video, short, sweet and to the point, I highly recommend you go watch it. Here’s the link. 

 

 

 

 

(These are screenshots of Huey Li from his video on the Genghis Khan complex called Why Elon brought his harem to meet the leader of India 🇮🇳: I call it the Genghis Khan complex.. Again with the period in the actual title, what is up with that? Why does Huey keep doing that? It’s bugging me. Hey, Huey, if you’re reading this, please explain to me why you keep putting periods in your video titles.) 

Then, he made a video talking about NATO, specifically about the importance of NATO in maintaining global peace and keeping national borders intact, and why Trump’s attacks on NATO and his attacks on the current global order will mean the end of the modern way of life that we enjoy and take for granted every single day. It was titled, Why Trump killing NATO will be the end of the modern way of life as we know it., a pretty long title that’s really more of a sentence than an actual title, and for some reason has a period at the end. Why does it have a period at the end? This is even the only video title Huey has done that with, he did that with the Genghis Khan complex video as well. Please, Dr. Li, please explain to me why you keep putting periods in your titles. They don’t belong there. 

 

You have noticed that I’ve been peppering a lot of screenshots from that video throughout this blog, especially towards the beginning. Those screenshots I included above this paragraph are the first ones that weren’t from the NATO video, but rather from the Genghis Khan video. You’ll notice that in the NATO video, he was wearing a Ukraine shirt 🇺🇦, it was black shirt that literally said “Ukraine 🇺🇦” on top and had the Ukrainian flag 🇺🇦 on the bottom. I too have a Ukraine shirt 🇺🇦. It’s a green shirt, I bought it from 5.11, which is a retail store mostly catered to military and police personnel, service men ♂︎ and women ♀︎. It has a little patch or logo on top that has the Ukraine flag 🇺🇦 within it. It’s a cool looking shirt, Zelenskyy even wore it one time during one of his daily addresses to the Ukrainian people 🇺🇦. I took a picture of it so that I could include it in this post for you all to see.

 

 

 

(This is a photo of my one and only Ukraine shirt 🇺🇦 from 5.11.) 

I really thought that was a poignant video. It was even good enough for me to leave a comment on it giving my own opinions on what Huey said in the video in regards to how NATO has largely prevented wars between great powers and prevented massive territorial expansions, and how Putin and Trump are completely jeopardizing everything, and Huey actually responded to that comment, which partially inspired me to write this. He disagreed with what I had to say even though my original comment was in agreement to what he said. 

 

He mostly disagreed with the language I said, like he really got really hung up about me saying “big countries attacking small countries,” like he said that size doesn’t matter, that size isn’t a factor when it comes to whether or not a country will invade another one or not. I think he took my statement too literally because what I meant by “big and small countries” is powerful countries and weak countries. Powerful countries, in this day and age, won’t go to war with other powerful countries, but instead, they’ll go to war with a country that is less powerful than it is. 

 

Iraq 🇮🇶, Georgia 🇬🇪, and Ukraine 🇺🇦 fall perfectly into this because Iraq 🇮🇶 was a less powerful country compared to the United States 🇺🇸, and both Georgia 🇬🇪 and Ukraine 🇺🇦 were less powerful than Russia 🇷🇺, or so we thought (Russia 🇷🇺 is about the same, or lower in power compared to those two countries). It also happened that those countries were also geographically smaller than the aggressor nations, although they weren’t that small. 

 

Iraq 🇮🇶 is around the size of California, and Ukraine 🇺🇦 is around the size of Texas (or Afghanistan 🇦🇫, since Afghanistan 🇦🇫 is also the size of Texas). Georgia 🇬🇪 is probably the smallest of those three countries. It’s smaller than the state of Georgia here in the US 🇺🇸. It should be a given that was what I meant when I said “big and small countries” because is what people usually mean when they use those words, but I guess people need that to be explained to them, they need to have it spelled out for them. I don’t entirely blame Huey though. English is clearly his second language, so may not understand metaphors or idioms when conveyed in English. 
 

 

 

 

(These are screenshots of the comment I left on Huey Li’s video on Trump killing NATO. The comment was so long that I couldn’t fit into one screenshot, so I had to take two.) 

Indeed, Trump trying to destroy NATO and siding with Russia 🇷🇺 in the Russo-Ukrainian War 🇷🇺🇺🇦 is tantamount to the US 🇺🇸 siding with Germany in World War I. I know that Huey said World War II like everyone else does, but I think it’s more likely that the US 🇺🇸 would’ve sided with Germany in World War I rather than World War II. Something like that happened in alternate history author Harry Turtledove’s series on the American Civil War 🇺🇸, where the South won the civil war and managed to survive as an independent state up until the post-World War II era. Because the Confederacy was allied with Britain 🇬🇧 (it survived partially because of Britain 🇬🇧’s support, and also time traveling South Africans 🇿🇦⏱️ who give the Confederates AK-47s unless that’s a different alternate history civil war story by Harry Turtledove I’m thinking of), when World War I rolls around, the Confederate States ends up siding with the Triple Entente, what would later be called the Allies. Since the US 🇺🇸 still very much hated the CS and was rivals with it, they joined the Central Power, simply so that they can go against the CS. This means that World War I, and by extension World War II, extends to the Americas. There’s an American front. 

 

 

 

 

(This is the flag of the Confederate States of America.) 

 

 

 

 

With the US 🇺🇸 on its side, the Central Powers end up winning World War I, and the CS ends up becoming an impoverished state that falls to fascism. Yes, the CS basically becomes Nazi Germany in this alternate timeline that Harry Turtledove created for these books 📖, and everything that we associate with the European theater of World War II ends up happening in North America instead of in Europe. There’s a Holocaust (against black peoples instead of Jews ✡️), and there’s a Stalingrad, except it’s an American city, Richmond I believe, which was the capital of the CS. It’s been awhile since I’ve watched AlternateHistoryHub and Emperor Tigerstar’s breakdown of that series. 

 

The point is that the CS loses World War II, just like Nazi Germany did in our timeline, and it ends up collapsing and all of the states that made up the CS get reabsorbed back into the US 🇺🇸. While it certainly wouldn’t have happened exactly like that, the US 🇺🇸 siding with Germany in World War I is more plausible than the US 🇺🇸 siding with Germany in World War II. And if the US 🇺🇸 did side with the Central Powers, it would’ve greatly altered the course of history. Any scenario in which the Central Powers (or Germany specifically) won World War I, would’ve altered the course of history. Just look like Kaiserreich, that famous Hearts of Iron IV mod.

 

 

 

 

(This is the flag of the German Empire AKA Imperial Germany, AKA the Second Reich, AKA the Kaiserreich.) 

 

 

 

 

 

The only way that the US 🇺🇸 would side with Nazi Germany is if FDR was voted out of office, and someone like Charles Lindbergh became president, since Charles Lindbergh is a suspected Nazi sympathizer, and has been for a long time. He was preaching isolationism and preaching the US 🇺🇸 stay out of the war, and continued to do so even after Japan 🇯🇵 attacked Pearl Harbor. He was still saying that the US 🇺🇸 shouldn’t be involved in the war. The reason why people suspected him and suspect him of being a Nazi sympathizer is that most isolationists back then were Nazi sympathizers, and he expressed some very antisemitic views similar to Henry Ford, the founder and CEO of the Ford Motor Company. Only if you had him as president, would the US 🇺🇸 adopt a more pro-Nazi policy, and perhaps even join the Axis Powers in World War II, but that was very unlikely to happen because Charles Lindbergh wasn’t even on the ballot in any of the elections 🗳️ that happened during the war, and the American people 🇺🇸 knew better back then than to vote for a fascist as president. Knew better than Americans 🇺🇸 now.

The point of the video is that NATO is the only real reason why the world is the way it is. It’s the only thing really keeping the peace and preventing countries, large countries, powerful countries, from going to war with each other and taking territory from other countries. It’s the reason why we are able to live the lives we’ve been living ever since the end of World War II. It’s the reason why we’re able to worry about comparatively little things like groceries, doctor appointments, or dating, or the latest TikTok trend, and while we’re able to talk about and argue about things like movies, TV shows, and video games, instead of worrying about whether our country is going to be invaded by another country or not, and whether our territory will be annexed and taken by another country or not. It certainly does a better job of keeping the peace than the UN 🇺🇳 that’s for sure. Without NATO, war, particularly wars for the purposes of territorial expansion, will become more common place, just as they had been up until the two world wars. 

That’s why Putin’s war against Ukraine 🇺🇦 and Trump’s efforts to undermine NATO and threats to expand the US 🇺🇸’s territory are so dangerous. Huey said in one of his videos, I think it might’ve been this one, but I’m not quite sure, whichever video he said it, he said that at the time, when the invasion and annexation of Crimea happened, he felt that it would set a dangerous precedent because if Russia 🇷🇺 could just roll on in and annex territory from another sovereign state, and face no real consequences for doing so, then other countries will be encouraged and emboldened to do the same. Case in point, the United States 🇺🇸. Trump is basically copying Putin’s playbook almost to a T, especially comes to threats of territorial expansion. If Trump starts invading Panama 🇵🇦, Greenland 🇬🇱, Canada 🇨🇦, Mexico 🇲🇽, and even the Gaza Strip 🇵🇸, then all bets will be off. With the most powerful country in the world engaging in territorial expansion via aggressive wars, then other countries will be tempted to do the same. 

Taiwan 🇹🇼 will be next on the chopping block. With Trump in office, and engaging in nearly the same behavior as Putin, Xi will be encouraged to make moves on Taiwan 🇹🇼 to secure his legacy. To do what Mao couldn’t. And what would stop them? What would stop China 🇨🇳 from taking Taiwan 🇹🇼? Certainly not Trump. Trump won’t do anything if China 🇨🇳 invades Taiwan 🇹🇼 while he’s in office. He’ll just let them have it because despite the false bravado and tough big boy talk ♂︎ about China 🇨🇳 from our commander-in-chief, he’s not actually anti-China 🇨🇳. He’s more pro-China 🇨🇳 than you might think if you just heard his words. And if you know anything about Trump, you’ll know that pretty much everything he says is a lie. He’s a pathological liar. 

 

I mean, he’s praised Xi in the past multiple times. He’s talked about how he wants to be like Xi, and have as much power over the US 🇺🇸 as Xi does over China 🇨🇳. Plus, he has a secret bank account in Shanghai or some other major Chinese city 🇨🇳 that he refuses to talk about, as other business ties in China 🇨🇳. Does that sound like someone is principally anti-China 🇨🇳 and anti-Xi? I don’t think it does. So, if Xi does move on Taiwan 🇹🇼 while Trump is in office, he’ll probably just roll over and let them have it. He won’t fight it. He won’t send a carrier fleet or a bomber squadron or nothing. He’ll screw over the Taiwanese people 🇹🇼 just like he screwed over the Ukrainian people 🇺🇦. 

 

 

 

 

(This is the flag of Taiwan 🇹🇼.) 

 

 

 

 

 

The only thing that would stop China 🇨🇳 from invading Taiwan 🇹🇼 is the lack of military capability, if China 🇨🇳 doesn’t have the naval and amphibious capability to launch an invasion of Taiwan 🇹🇼. So far, that’s the only thing that’s keeping Taiwan 🇹🇼 safe right now, the fact that China 🇨🇳 is still militarily capable of launching a full-scale invasion of an island nation like Taiwan 🇹🇼, especially when it’s separated by a strait that often experiences typhoons 🌀 and other kinds of bad weather. There are only a few windows of time in the year when an invasion of Taiwan 🇹🇼 could be launched. So, China 🇨🇳 can’t do it right now, but they’re getting there. 

 

If the PLA hits the lofty goal that Xi set out for them, they have the military capabilities to invade Taiwan 🇹🇼 by 2027, which is two years from now. In which case, nothing will stop them. Except maybe Japan 🇯🇵, but they’re bound by their constitution to only engage in military action in self-defense, so unless they get attacked directly by China 🇨🇳 in the event of such a war, then they won’t be able to do anything about it without violating their own constitution. Which America 🇺🇸 did draft for them and imposed on them, I’ll give you that. Unless they change the constitution to allow them use military force even if they haven’t been attacked first, and maybe even broaden the definition of “self defense.” But not every Japanese politician 🇯🇵or Japanese citizen 🇯🇵 agrees on that issue, so they’re unlikely to do that, at least any time soon.

 

 

 

(This is a map of the four disputed Kuril Islands as well as the unofficial flag of the United States Civil Administration of the Ryukyu Islands 🇺🇸 and a map of the territory that administration controlled.) 

 

Speaking of Japan 🇯🇵, in a world where everything’s a free for all and everyone’s going to war and trying to take territory from everybody else, Japan 🇯🇵 may decide to try to take those four disputed Kuril Islands from Russia 🇷🇺 and secure the Senkaku Islands, which they already control, but China 🇨🇳 want them. So, if Japan 🇯🇵 wants to keep them, they’d have to secure them militarily. If they changed their constitution of course. 

 

They might also decide to adopt nuclear weapons ☢️ (even if they were the first and so far only country in history to be hit with nuclear weapons ☢️ and the issue is still sort of taboo in Japanese society 🇯🇵 today) especially if the US 🇺🇸 proves to be an unreliable ally and takes the nuclear umbrella ☢️☂️ away, or if the US 🇺🇸 threatens to annex Okinawa, which they did occupy for about 27 years after World War II and still has military bases on even to this day. Maybe, Australia 🇦🇺 and the Philippines 🇵🇭 would step up to the plate, but without the US 🇺🇸, they’d only be able to do so much and for so long.

 

 

 

 

 

(This is the flag of Venezuela 🇻🇪.) 

 

 

 

 

Even Venezuela 🇻🇪 is starting to get in on the actions and is making threats to invade its territories and annex territory from them. Most people know about Guyana 🇬🇾, which has had a territorial dispute with Venezuela 🇻🇪 for a pretty long time, even before Hugo Chávez and Nicolás Maduro came to power, over the Essequibo region, which mostly in Guyana 🇬🇾. Maduro brought it up and rammed up talks about invading Guyana 🇬🇾 and annexing the Essequibo region after he rigged the election 🗳️ and illegally stayed in power (again). 

 

 

 

(This is the flag of Guyana 🇬🇾.) 

 

 

 

 

He claims the reason why he wants the Essequibo region from Guyana 🇬🇾 is that it “rightfully belongs” to Venezuela 🇻🇪 and he wants to take all the oil 🛢️, even though Venezuela 🇻🇪 already has the largest oil reserve 🛢️ in South America and one of the largest oil reserves 🛢️ in the entire world. Maduro’s just squandering that resource and doesn’t have the ability to extract it since he drove all the expert oil drillers 🛢️ out of the country, all of the people who have the technical know-how to get that oil 🛢️ out of the ground. If Maduro wants oil 🛢️ so badly, then maybe he should actually improve the oil industry 🛢️ in Venezuela 🇻🇪, and make it an attractive place to do business for oil workers 🛢️. 

 

 

 

 

(This is the flag of Puerto Rico 🇵🇷.) 

 

 

 

 

He’s even threatened to invade and annex Puerto Rico 🇵🇷, a US territory 🇺🇸, even though Venezuela 🇻🇪 doesn’t actually have the military capability to do that. They barely have a navy, and what little of a navy they have, it isn’t good enough to launch a naval and amphibious assault on island territory such as Puerto Rico 🇵🇷. But, even if Maduro had the navy to do it, I don’t think he would because he wouldn’t want to piss off Trump, and they’re like best buds now. You know, because Trump wants to be a dictator and Maduro is one. Though, if I’m gonna be honest, I think Trump would just hand Puerto Rico 🇵🇷 over to Maduro if he really had to.

 

 

 

 

(This is the flag of Alaska.) 

   

 

 

 

 

Just like I think he’d hand Alaska over to Putin if he asked him nicely enough, if Putin buttered him up in the right way or if the United States 🇺🇸 was plunged into another civil war, and so distracted that Trump either decided to give up Alaska to the Russians 🇷🇺, or the Russians 🇷🇺 just take it without any fuss and Trump does nothing to get it back because he’s too busy fighting a civil war and trying to stomp out a rebellion. If Maduro launches any military aggression and tries to annex any piece of territory from any other country, the long period of relative peace in Latin America would be over. I mean, it would end as soon as Trump invaded Panama 🇵🇦 and took the Panama Canal 🇵🇦, and/or invaded Mexico 🇲🇽 and started fighting the cartels. Speaking of which….

 

 

 

(These are hypothetical flags of the United States 🇺🇸. The first one shows the flag with 51 stars, indicating that the country has 51 states, and the second one shows the flag with 52 stars, indicating that the country has 52 stars.) 

 

 

A lot of people haven’t taken any of Trump’s threats to invade places like Canada 🇨🇦, Panama 🇵🇦, Greenland 🇬🇱, Mexico 🇲🇽 and even the Gaza Strip 🇵🇸 all that seriously. They either think he’s joking, or he’s bluffing. They assume that this is just part of Trump’s negotiation technique to try to get concessions out of these countries by bullying them and insulting them and making threats at them to take some of their territory. You know, for “America first 🇺🇸” 😃🙄. And even people who don’t necessarily think he’s joking or bluffing when he says he wants to annex territory, they’re so caught up in the current international order and they’re so accustomed to the way things are now have been in the decades since World War II, and have faith that nothing about this current international order will actually change, they don’t think it’ll actually happen and Trump won’t go through with it.

 

 

 

(This is the flag of Canada 🇨🇦.) 

 

 

 

Like, when it comes to Canada 🇨🇦 specifically, Trump insisting that it will become the 51st state, people who oppose Trump (like Luke Beasley) say that it’ll never happened. “It won’t happen, Canada 🇨🇦 will never be the 51st state, it’s a pipe dream. It’s just Trump’s sick fantasy that will never become a reality. He will fail, and goodness will prevail.” But personally, I think those people are dangerously naïve, possibly worse than the people who say that Trump is joking or bluffing when he says he wants Canada 🇨🇦 and Greenland 🇬🇱. If these last four years have taught me anything, it’s to never assume that certain crazy things can’t happen or won’t happen. Don’t assume it can’t happen just because you can’t imagine it happening or you don’t want it happen. It can happen, and we must prepare ourselves for the eventuality that it does happen, both mentally and physically. I don’t want it to happen, I hope it doesn’t happen, but I’m not going to assume that it won’t just because it isn’t what I want and does fit in how I understand how the world works, or how it used to work. 

I’ve also seen people say that while Trump may want to annex Canada 🇨🇦 and make it the 51st state, he won’t use military force to do it. He’ll just use tariffs and economic coercion to do it, but he won’t make that leap to military force because he knows it’ll be unpopular. I think this is a pretty argument for obvious reasons. Trump has done plenty of unpopular things already, things no other American president 🇺🇸 has done before in fear that they’d piss off their constituents, what would stop him doing that?

 

If he really wants to be dictator and has no intention of ever leaving office, why would he care about pissing people off by sending them to war, and against Canada 🇨🇦 no less? Plus, he may be using tariffs, but how long until he does start using the military or the intelligence services? The tariffs and other economic tools aren’t working. Canada 🇨🇦 is no longer to becoming the 51st state than it was two months ago. If Trump truly is serious about annexing Canada 🇨🇦 and making it the 51st state, and I personally think there’s plenty of reason to suggest that there is, eventually he’s going to have to use the military, he’s going to have to do a real invasion of Canada 🇨🇦, a real war.

 

 

 

(This is the flag of Greenland 🇬🇱.) 

 

 

 

 

The same goes for Greenland 🇬🇱, though, I think for Greenland 🇬🇱, it’d be a lot simpler than trying to take Canada 🇨🇦. All he’d have to do is do a naval blockade, and then after Greenland 🇬🇱 is sufficiently crippled, he could send in the troops, seize the key government buildings, arrest all of the local officials, hold a sham referendum, and then annex the whole territory. He’d already have a head start since there are already US troops 🇺🇸, US military bases 🇺🇸, in Greenland 🇬🇱. Trump has even tossed around the idea of sending more for the purposes of annexing it. An annexation of Greenland 🇬🇱 would probably be a lot more like the Russian annexation of Crimea 🇷🇺, rather than the full-scale invasion of Ukraine 🇺🇦 in 2022. That’s what the invasion of Canada 🇨🇦 would be.

 

 

 

(These are the flags of Saskatchewan and Alberta.)

 

 

 

Speaking of the invasion of Canada 🇨🇦, there is something to consider. I saw a video that talked about the idea of the US 🇺🇸 annexing the Canadian provinces 🇨🇦, Saskatchewan and Alberta before attempting to take the rest of the country. Why those specific provinces? Because they’re more conservative and right-wing compared to the rest of Canada 🇨🇦, they’re most similar culturally to the United States 🇺🇸 (particularly the red states), and they’d be the most likely to get accustomed to being apart of the US 🇺🇸 compared to the other provinces. 

 

This video suggests that they’d be the first targets of a US annexation 🇺🇸 because they’re the easiest targets, and probably wouldn’t put up as heavy of a resistance as the other provinces like Ontario, British Columbia, Nova Scotia, New Brunswick, Prince Edward Island, Newfoundland and Labrador, and Quebec. Or at least, I assume that’s what the video is trying to say. It also weirdly suggested that Saskatchewan and Alberta would willing secede from Canada 🇨🇦 and then join the US 🇺🇸 of their own volition rather than being forcefully annexed against their will because they feel unappreciated by the other provinces. 

Like, the majority of the video is this just a clip of this speech by this politician who talks about how unappreciated Saskatchewans and Albertans feel by the other provinces because they’re dependent on energy, particularly fossil fuels, and the other provinces look down on them because they produce fossil fuels and fossil fuels pollute the environment and cause and exacerbate climate change. And the politician is trying to warn the people in the other provinces that if they aren’t nice to Saskatchewan and Alberta, then they’ll leave and join the US 🇺🇸. I’m no Canadian 🇨🇦, but that sounds like bullshit to me. No matter how unappreciated or mistreated Saskatchewans and Albertans feel, I doubt they’d willing join the US 🇺🇸, especially if Donald Trump is in charge. Trump has been a uniting factor in Canada 🇨🇦, like his threats towards Canada 🇨🇦 have unified the Canadian people 🇨🇦 in a way they probably weren’t before, and made them more patriotic and proud of their country. 

 

If anything, by threatening to annex Canada 🇨🇦 and make it a part of the US 🇺🇸, Trump has strengthened Canadian identity 🇨🇦 rather than weaken it. It’s just like with Putin and Ukraine 🇺🇦, although Putin wants to annex all of Ukraine 🇺🇦 and insists that Russians 🇷🇺 and Ukrainians 🇺🇦 are one people (in fact he and other Russian nationalists 🇷🇺 insist that Ukrainians 🇺🇦 are just Russians 🇷🇺 who have been led astray and convinced that they aren’t Russians 🇷🇺), all he did by invading Ukraine 🇺🇦, occupying and even straight up annexing parts of their territory, he strengthened Ukrainian identity 🇺🇦, and he unified the country in a way that it hadn’t been before. Now, because of Trump’s threats, Canadians 🇨🇦 are united and resolute in their position that they don’t want to be a part of America 🇺🇸. They want to remain independent and sovereign, a distinct entity from the United States 🇺🇸, especially since the United States 🇺🇸 is in a sad state of affairs and is slipping into dictatorship. 

 

So, you can’t convince me that Saskatchewans and Albertans would just willingly secede and join the US 🇺🇸 all because they feel disrespected, like get out of here, that’s f-ing stupid 😤. But, I do agree in the broad strokes that if Trump is going to use the military and intelligence services (the CIA) to try to annex Canada 🇨🇦, Saskatchewan and especially Alberta would be his first targets. He’d take them first, and then take the rest of the country bit by bit. It’d a more gradual process, with the use of military force escalating with each bit of Canadian territory 🇨🇦 that they encroach on, and the more resistance they face. 

 

And if that doesn’t work, then he’ll just do what Putin did, and launch a full-scale invasion and try to take the entire country in one go. I don’t think he would make them states because he wants the entirety of Canada 🇨🇦 to be a state, he doesn’t want to split the country apart and make each individual province its own state, he wants the whole thing to be a state. Probably to minimize the possibility of the Democratic Party sweeping to victory in every election 🗳️ thanks to the added boost from the more liberal and left-leaning population from Canada 🇨🇦. 

 

Considering that he keeps saying that he wants to be a dictator, and his administration has working towards making him one ever since he was inaugurated on January 20, 2025, that shouldn’t be an issue for him. It shouldn’t be a concern. He could always just cancel elections 🗳️ entirely, or he could just hold sham elections 🗳️ where the Republicans come out on top every single time. The Democrats coming back to power in a big and sweeping elections 🗳️ every few years thanks to the added Canadians 🇨🇦 shouldn’t be an issue for a dictator such as Trump. And I really don’t think it will be, because he probably won’t even let the Canadians 🇨🇦 vote 🗳️, even if that would go against the constitution. 

 

You can’t just disenfranchise an entire state and deprive them of the ability to vote 🗳️, but this is Trump we’re talking about. This is a lawless president, he doesn’t care about the constitution and will violate it with impunity whenever he feels like it, whenever he deems it necessary to get what he wants. He’s already violating the constitution now, what with all these deportations, deporting actual American citizens 🇺🇸 without a sort of due process, simply because they have suspicious looking tattoos or because they protested against Israel 🇮🇱’s war in Gaza. He’s deporting people simply for protesting 🪧 now. 

 

Sure, he’s been sued for his unconstitutional actions and the courts have mostly ruled against him, but he’ll just continue to defy the courts, violate court orders and rulings and continue doing what he was already doing before the courts got involved. I have a strong feeling that the courts won’t hold out for much longer, they won’t survive the full four years of Trump, assuming of that he even just serves four years, and not an additional four. Perhaps even abolish term limits entirely, allowing him to be president for life. 

 

I think he’d make them unincorporated territories, similar to how Puerto Rico 🇵🇷 and Guam 🇬🇺 are today before taking the rest of Canada 🇨🇦 and making it a state. If Trump were to do this, Canada 🇨🇦 would easily become the largest state in the Union. Easily dwarfing Alaska by a long shot. Canada 🇨🇦 is already the second largest country in the world behind Russia 🇷🇺, so of course if the US 🇺🇸 annexed it and turned it into a state, it’d be the largest state in the Union. It would probably also make the US 🇺🇸 the largest country in the world, taking Russia 🇷🇺’s place in the #1 spot. That’s what Trump wants, that’s what Trump cares about.

 

 

 

 

(This is the flag of Panama 🇵🇦.) 

 

 

I do also think Trump is serious about Panama 🇵🇦 and the Panama Canal 🇵🇦 specifically, especially since he ordered Pete Hegseth and the top military leadership at the Pentagon to start drawing up plans to launch a new invasion of Panama 🇵🇦 for the purposes of retaking the Panama Canal 🇵🇦 recently, either this week or last week. But, I do wonder how it would go down. Would they invade the entire country of Panama 🇵🇦 first, bombing and then occupying the capital city, Panama City 🇵🇦, and then force them into capitulating and giving up the canal, or would they just invade the canal and take it, not even worrying about the central government in Panama City 🇵🇦? 

 

I also wonder if once they did invade and retake the canal, would they reestablish the Panama Canal Zone 🇵🇦? Because the US 🇺🇸 had already owned the Panama Canal 🇵🇦 before giving it to the Panamanians 🇵🇦, and they had a Panama Canal Zone 🇵🇦, and that Canal Zone encompassed more land than just the canal itself. It was little a whole piece of territory, a whole chunk of land that belonged to the United States 🇺🇸. Would the Trump administration reestablish that after taking the canal or would just not bother and just have the canal itself and no other piece of land?

 

 

 

(This is the flag and map of the Panama Canal Zone 🇵🇦.) 

As for Mexico 🇲🇽, I really don’t hear anyone talk about Mexico 🇲🇽 other than the tariffs which Trump keeps imposing and then pausing every single month for the last two months that he’s been in office for. Even though he has said that he wants to use military action in Mexico 🇲🇽, against the drug cartels (who he branded as terrorists), and in the months after the 2024 Election 🗳️, his transition was talking about doing a “soft invasion” of Mexico 🇲🇽 for the purposes of going after the cartels. It’s even laid out in Project 2025, it’s one of the few foreign policy purposes the project made, it specifically called for designating all Mexican drug cartels 🇲🇽 as terrorist organizations and then called for an invasion of Mexico 🇲🇽 to attack the cartels with military force. 

 

 

 

 

(This is the flag of Mexico 🇲🇽.) 

 

 

 

 

Trump has already done the part about designating drug cartels as terrorist organizations, but so far hasn’t made any actual moves on Mexico 🇲🇽 besides the tariffs. So far, Trump has been fairly quiet about Mexico 🇲🇽, instead focusing all of his public threats and vitriol on Canada 🇨🇦 and Greenland 🇬🇱 (and by extension, Denmark 🇩🇰 since Denmark 🇩🇰 owns Greenland 🇬🇱), well as focusing on Panama 🇵🇦 and the Panama Canal 🇵🇦. Panama 🇵🇦 so far is the only one that we know for sure he is drawing military plans for, or at least, the top generals in the Pentagon and USSOUTHCOM 🇺🇸 are drawing up the plans. 

 

I do think we should take Trump’s threats against Mexico 🇲🇽 just as seriously as his threats against Canada 🇨🇦, Greenland 🇬🇱, and Panama 🇵🇦, maybe even the Gaza Strip 🇵🇸 too, which I’ll get too in a moment. The fact that he isn’t talking about it as much, the fact that he isn’t as outspoken about it as he is Canada 🇨🇦 and Greenland 🇬🇱 should frighten everyone. Whenever Trump is silent about something and isn’t super vocal about it, that usually means it’s bad. It usually he’s pretty serious about doing it. Like, the coup he’s in the middle of conducting, he’s doing all these thing to distract the American people 🇺🇸 and distract the American press 🇺🇸 to distract from the fact that he’s in the middle of carrying out a coup to completely take over the federal government, consolidate power into himself, and make himself a dictator. So, if he’s not talking about invading Mexico 🇲🇽 or annexing Mexico 🇲🇽 right now, then I there’s reason to believe that he is up to something behind the scenes, that he’s actually serious about it and he’s keeping it under wraps for the time being because he knows it’s bad and the majority of Americans 🇺🇸, especially those in the Latino community (and the Mexican community 🇲🇽 specifically) won’t like it. So, when it finally happens, everyone will be caught off guard and won’t be any position to stop because it will have already happened. 

Plus, he already tried to use military force in Mexico 🇲🇽 in his first term. He wanted to conduct airstrikes against cartels, and the only reason why it didn’t happen because there were still “adults in the room” willing to tell him “no” and convince him not to do it. But this time, there are no more adults in the room, there is no one willing to tell him “no.” His administration is full of enablers will always do what he says and will empower and encourage his worst impulses because they’re all afraid of him and don’t want to lose their jobs by daring to defy him. He only wants loyalists who are only in their positions because of him, and will be beholden to him because of that. They’ll just stay in their lane and say “yes” to everything he says, and will act as a rubber stamp to everything he does. 

Of course, Trump doesn’t really care about drug cartels. This isn’t really about drug cartels at all. That’s just the excuse, the very weak justification for an invasion. I think the reason why he wants to attack Mexico 🇲🇽 is the same reason that he wants to attack Canada 🇨🇦, Greenland 🇬🇱, and Panama 🇵🇦, he wants to expand the US 🇺🇸’s territory and annex the entire country. Either that, he wants to topple the current government and install a friendly puppet government that will do everything he says and won’t complain or resist. Either way, it would be really bad, obviously. 

I have written in other posts about what a US invasion of Mexico 🇺🇸🇲🇽 would look like, and what I suggested there is that Trump would invade Mexico 🇲🇽, say that it’s to fight drug cartels even if it’s clearly not, and then would try to annex some territory. I suggested that he’d probably go for Baja California because a lot of Americans 🇺🇸 visit there, they vacation there, and he would probably think that no Americans 🇺🇸 or very few Americans 🇺🇸 would oppose him taking it. He’d do this after installing a puppet government. Either that, or he’d try to annex the whole country. I do think if he did annex the whole country, I do think he would make it a state, if he made Canada 🇨🇦 the 51st state, then he’d make it the 52nd state. Which is why I put that 52 star flag in here, along with the much more well known 51 star flag. 

 

Some people might say he wouldn’t because it isn’t a “white country” like Canada 🇨🇦 (even though there’s plenty of non-white people in Canada 🇨🇦, the Native American tribes for one, but also the large Chinese and Sikh communities 🪯, oh, and there’s plenty of black people too), but I think he would simply because it would increase the US 🇺🇸’s size and it would look good on a map, which is one of the driving forces behind Trump’s desire to increase the US 🇺🇸’s territory because it would look good on a map. Yes, he is that vain.

I think there is reason to suspect that there would a genocide in the event of a US invasion of Mexico 🇺🇸🇲🇽. Not just war crimes, but an actual genocide. Trump is a pretty racist man, he’s made it abundantly clear that he hates Mexicans 🇲🇽 and hates pretty much all Latino people, which is why he’s trying to deport them all. So, if he annexed Mexico 🇲🇽, he’d have a lot of Mexicans 🇲🇽 to deal with, Mexicans 🇲🇽 that wouldn’t approve of his rule. So, he’d either have to deport them all, clear them all out and make room for white Americans 🇺🇸 to move in, which would be a form of ethnic cleansing, or just kill them all, which would be a form of genocide. If he did either of those, it would certainly cement Trump’s status as “America 🇺🇸’s Hitler.” I also think he’d try to do ethnic cleansing or genocide in Greenland 🇬🇱 since the Greenlandic Inuits 🇬🇱 make up the majority of the population, and he’d want to “clear them out” to make room for “real” white people. Either that, or he’d treat them the same way Putin treats the Crimean Tatars, which is not great as you can imagine 😬. 

Needless to say, this would not go well. A war against Mexico 🇲🇽 would be an even bigger shit show than a war against Canada 🇨🇦, and that would already be a huge shit show. I saw one comment on Sarcasmitron’s video talking about Kamala Harris’s foreign policy positions (it was a video about the 2024 Election 🗳️ and comparing the foreign policy positions of both Harris and Trump) that said an war against Mexico 🇲🇽 would be very similar to the Iraq War 🇮🇶 (or even the Vietnam War 🇻🇳), in terms of how it would be fought and what kind of enemies the Americans 🇺🇸 would be fighting. This would most likely be a counterinsurgency type of war, which is the kind of war the US 🇺🇸 is probably the worst at fighting. 

 

 

 

(This is a screenshot of the comment on Sarcasmitron’s video, What is Kamala’s Foreign Policy, Actually, that I was referring to. I noticed there’s no question mark in the title despite the title being a question. Points off for that one.)

 

 

 

 

Except, like the comment said, it would be way worse than Iraq 🇮🇶 because Mexico 🇲🇽 is much larger than Iraq 🇮🇶, both in terms of population and land area. Mexico 🇲🇽 is also more mountainous than Iraq 🇮🇶 is, and has more places for insurgents to hide and conduct guerrilla hit and run tactics. And it’s on America 🇺🇸’s border, and there are people who live on both sides of the border, expats and entire families who travel and from the US 🇺🇸 and Mexico 🇲🇽. It would be a complete disaster, but don’t assume it won’t happen just because it would be a disaster. Every leader who starts a quagmire always assumes it won’t be a quagmire. 

 

 

(These are the flags of Israel 🇮🇱 and Palestine 🇵🇸.)

Lastly, I want to talk about the Gaza Strip 🇵🇸, and Trump’s desire to own it. I don’t think he’s as serious about controlling the Gaza Strip 🇵🇸 as he is about controlling Canada 🇨🇦, Greenland 🇬🇱, and the Panama Canal 🇵🇦, and he’s not as determined to own that territory as he is the other ones I mentioned. I think he came up with the idea to take over the Gaza Strip 🇵🇸 on a whim, on the day he was meeting with Benjamin Netanyahu at the White House, which is why even people in his own administration were so caught off guard when he said that he wanted to own it. He didn’t tell them ahead of time. And because they’re all loyalists and sycophants who are only there because of him and would lose their jobs if they voiced any sort of disagreement with him, they didn’t complain or voice any concern or doubt about the US 🇺🇸’s ability to control the Gaza Strip 🇵🇸. Even if it was all “cleared out.” 

 

But, I don’t think we should discount it completely, and we shouldn’t assume that it won’t happen because it can happen. Crazier and stupider things have already happened before. Plus, with the ceasefire completely breaking down and hostilities resuming in both Gaza 🇵🇸 and Lebanon 🇱🇧, I think the likelihood of a US intervention 🇺🇸 is increasing. Trump would have the perfect opportunity to slide right in and take over the strip. He did actually say that he wanted to help Israel 🇮🇱 clear out Gaza 🇵🇸 before he said he wanted to actually own the Gaza Strip 🇵🇸. So, he’s definitely on board with ethnic cleansing or even genocide. 

 

Which is why I said a genocide in Mexico 🇲🇽 would be likely in the event of an invasion and occupation of that country. Israel 🇮🇱 is probably not entirely happy about the idea of the US 🇺🇸 controlling the Gaza Strip 🇵🇸, they wanted to own it after all, but they suppose it’s better than having the Palestinians 🇵🇸 control the strip or having the Egyptians 🇪🇬 or the Jordanians 🇯🇴 control the strip. Plus, they’d have the entire West Bank, so letting the US 🇺🇸 have the Gaza Strip 🇵🇸 is a trade-off the Israelis 🇮🇱 are willing to make. 

 

Of course, the US 🇺🇸 controlling the Gaza Strip 🇵🇸 is a really horrible idea. Probably a worse idea than starting a war with Iran 🇮🇷, which some people have also predicted might happen during Trump’s second term. Not even from just a logistical standpoint, but a geopolitical and national security standpoint, it would be bad. It would lead a whole wave of international terrorism against the United States 🇺🇸. People don’t know this, or they forget this, but the first wave of international terrorism, the first initial call to jihad, against the US 🇺🇸 that culminated in 9/11 and the War on Terror was caused by the Camp David Accords, the fact that Egypt 🇪🇬 made peace with Israel 🇮🇱 and decided to recognize it as a legitimate sovereign state. This would be way worse than that. If the Camp David Accords was a regular sized bomb, then the US 🇺🇸 annexing the Gaza Strip 🇵🇸 would be a thermonuclear weapon in terms of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict 🇮🇱🇵🇸 and the Middle East’s perception of the United States 🇺🇸. 

 

I wrote in a couple of past posts that a US occupation of Gaza 🇺🇸🇵🇸 could end exactly like the US occupation of Lebanon 🇺🇸🇱🇧, where the US 🇺🇸 is completely driven out by a terrorist attack. In Lebanon 🇱🇧, Hezbollah blew up a US Marine barracks 🇺🇸 in Beirut, which was enough to spook Reagan into pulling all US forces 🇺🇸 out of the country, ending US involvement 🇺🇸 in the Lebanese Civil War 🇱🇧. Something could end happening in Gaza 🇵🇸 with Hamas should Trump go through with his plan to occupy and annex the Gaza Strip 🇵🇸. Of course, in light of what is being called “Signalgate,” we’d probably learn about their war plans ahead of time no matter which one of these. BTW, Huey, I saw your recent video about that, and let me just say, “no,” just because they’re stupid and incompetent doesn’t mean that any of this won’t happen. Don’t assume that it can’t because that’s how we get into trouble. Never underestimate the destructive potential of stupidity. But check out Huey’s NATO video, it’s great. And also the Signalgate video too I guess, it’s not as good as the NATO one in my opinion 😒. 

 

 

 

 

(This is the flag of NATO.)

 

 

He’s made other videos about NATO, like the one he made about John Mearsheimer and how he and the “NATO sob story” doesn’t represent the mainstream academic view on NATO and on the war in Ukraine 🇺🇦 and what caused it, and who’s really at fault for it. The point that Huey was trying to make is that John Mearsheimer is actually on the fringes of academia and that he shouldn’t take any of what he has to say on the matter seriously or give it credibility that it just doesn’t deserve. Then he made a follow-up video, a companion piece if you will, to the NATO video that I spent several paragraphs talking about, where he responded to some comments on that video. He didn’t directly mention mine or respond to mine, but when he said that got several “essay-length” comments on his video, mine was one of those he was referring to. 

 

 

 

 

(This is another screenshot of Huey Li from his video on the Genghis Khan complex, called Why Elon brought his harem to meet the leader of India 🇮🇳: I call it the Genghis Khan complex..)

 

 

 

Something that he hasn’t really addressed in any of the videos that he’s posted on his YouTube channel so far, and I haven’t seen anyone address when it comes to NATO is what would actually happen if Trump attacked Canada 🇨🇦 and Greenland 🇬🇱? What would the NATO response be? Because Canada 🇨🇦 is a NATO member, a founding member in fact, and Greenland 🇬🇱 is a territory that belongs to Denmark 🇩🇰, who is a NATO member. So, if the US 🇺🇸 were to attack, Article 5 would be triggered, right? But, the US 🇺🇸 is also a NATO member. 

 

So far, the one and only time Article 5 has ever been invoked was after the September 11 attacks in the United States 🇺🇸 (9/11). It would be rather unprecedented to have a NATO member attack another NATO member, not just one, but two. What would the alliance do then? Would they just cripple and fold in the face of such a contradiction? Or would they follow through with Article 5 as if they weren’t defending a fellow member from another fellow member? What would the fate of the US 🇺🇸 be? Would they kick the US 🇺🇸 out of the alliance for attacking another member or would they let them stay? I feel something like this could break the NATO alliance and cause it to fracture beyond repair. Maybe this is why Trump wants to pull out of NATO so bad. 

 

 

 

 

(This yet another screenshot of Huey Li from his video on Trump killing NATO called Why Trump killing NATO would be the end of the modern way of life as we know it.. This is actually the thumbnail of the video BTW.)

 

 

 

 

 

I know Congress passed a law that forbid the president from withdrawing from NATO unilaterally without Congressional approval first, after Trump tried to withdraw from NATO the first time, but I think Trump would just do it, regardless of whatever law Congress passed. This is a lawbreaking president and he doesn’t care what the law says. If the law says the president can’t withdraw from NATO unilaterally without Congressional approval, he won’t care, he’ll just do it anyway. Or maybe he’d be able to do with Congressional approval since he has a Republican majority in the Senate and the House and they’ll pretty much vote for whatever he wants. So, if he wants out of NATO, they’ll vote to withdraw from NATO. But, I think it’s more likely that he’d try to do it with an executive order without going through Congress. But, if he did do that, he’d lose all of the leverage he had over NATO, and make it a lot easier for them to respond if he made any moves on Greenland 🇬🇱 or Canada 🇨🇦. Because they wouldn’t be facing a NATO member at that point. So, attacking Canada 🇨🇦 and Greenland 🇬🇱 while the US 🇺🇸 is still in NATO would be Trump’s best shot at undermining NATO and destroying it from within. 

 

 

 

(This is yet another screenshot of Huey Li from his video on the Genghis Khan complex, called Why Elon brought his harem to meet the leader of India 🇮🇳: I call it the Genghis Khan complex..) 

He’s also made a bunch of videos explaining how Trump (and by extension, Musk) is acting like pretty every other dictator and wannabe dictator in the world right now including Putin, Xi, Kim, Lukashenko, Maduro, Modi, Orbàn, Netanyahu, and Erdoğan. And yes, I do consider Erdoğan a dictator. He’s becoming a dictator as we speak before our very eyes. He’s literally doing the same shit that Trump, Modi, Orbàn, Netanyahu, and all these other guys ♂︎ are doing. Even the former South Korean president 🇰🇷 Yoon Suk Yeol attempted this sort of thing himself. The only reason he failed, while all these other dictators-in-waiting are succeeding, is that there still enough people in South Korea 🇰🇷 who care about their democracy and politically engaged enough to stop kind of authoritarian coup from succeeding. 

 

The Filipinos 🇵🇭 are also lucky that they were able to vote Rodrigo Duterte out of office and elect a new president with a peaceful transfer of power, and that Duterte didn’t try to illegally stay in power even after he was voted out. They’re also lucky that Duterte was arrested by Interpol and sent to The Hague to face trial against the ICC ⚖️ before he could attempt to return to power and become a dictator like Trump did. And of course, the Brazilian people 🇧🇷 managed to stop Bolsonaro from returning to power when he staged a violent insurrection against the new government just Trump did in the US 🇺🇸 on January 6th, and the new government kicked Bolsonaro out of the country and can never run for office again. 

 

There are still people in South Korea 🇰🇷, the Philippines 🇵🇭, and Brazil 🇧🇷 who still value their democracy enough to resist a hostile takeover by an authoritarian leader. I guess it makes sense since all three of those countries had dictatorships in the past, so they know exactly what it’s like to live under a dictatorship and they don’t want to go through that again. But, the US 🇺🇸, India 🇮🇳, Turkey 🇹🇷, El Salvador 🇸🇻, Hungary 🇭🇺, Argentina 🇦🇷, Georgia 🇬🇪, Israel 🇮🇱, and Serbia 🇷🇸, they were not so lucky. Yes, I am aware that are anti-government protests 🪧 in Serbia 🇷🇸, but I’m not quite so sure yet if those protests 🪧 will be successful or yield anything remotely positive. 

Erdoğan is a Neo-Ottoman 🇹🇷 of sorts, he wants recreate the Ottoman Empire 🇹🇷 and be the Sultan of that new empire, which is why he’s trying reassert and expand Turkey 🇹🇷’s influence across the Middle East and Africa. And also the South Caucasus with Azerbaijan 🇦🇿, a fellow Turkic state. Bashar al-Assad being driven out of Syria 🇸🇾 by the rebels was a huge win for Erdoğan because those were Turkish-backed rebels 🇹🇷 that won the civil war in Syria 🇸🇾. They’re his boys ♂︎. Ruth Ben-Ghiat was right when she said that people give Erdoğan a pass or they go easy on him, all because he happens to be the leader of a country that’s in NATO, a country that’s in the most strategic important region for NATO, and because he did a few good things like giving Ukraine 🇺🇦 some TB2 Bayraktar drones at the start of the Russian invasion 🇷🇺, partially saved Ukraine 🇺🇦 by giving the Ukrainians 🇺🇦 the ability push the Russians 🇷🇺 back and prevent from taking Kyiv. 

When they shouldn’t, Erdoğan shouldn’t be given a pass and people shouldn’t go easy on him because he’s done pretty awful things (like helping Azerbaijan 🇦🇿 commit ethnic cleansing in Nagorno-Karabakh, driving all of the ethnic Armenians 🇦🇲 out, as well as sending a bunch of Syrian militias 🇸🇾 to kill a bunch of Kurds in northern Syria 🇸🇾 after the US 🇺🇸 withdrew from the area) and is engaging in the same anti-democratic behavior that all of these guys ♂︎ that I just mentioned are doing. Erdoğan is a bastard, and I’m tired of people pretending that he’s not. Him and Modi honestly. People go easy on Modi, and give him a pass simply because he’s the prime minister of India 🇮🇳, and India 🇮🇳 is strategically important in the competition with China 🇨🇳. 

 

We can’t say anything to criticize India 🇮🇳 or Modi, otherwise we’ll lose that relationship, we’ll lose that potential ally against China 🇨🇳. But, I don’t know about you, but I don’t want to go against a dictator with another dictator. We did this song and dance before in World War II with Joseph Stalin, and it didn’t work out in the end. We also supported, propped up, and even installed dictators that tangential served our interests in the Cold War, and how did that work out? Stop trying to make Modi happen. Even Nayib Bukele gets a pass just because he got rid of the gangs in El Salvador 🇸🇻, when I don’t think he should. He shouldn’t be given a free pass, especially when Bukele called himself the “coolest dictator in the world.” So, If people continue to give Erdoğan or go easy on him for strategic and geopolitical reasons, then he will succeed, and we don’t want that. None of us who care about democracy should want that. If you want to know what I’m talking about where Ruth Ben-Ghiat says that, here it is.

 

 

 

 

 

(This is the flag of Turkey 🇹🇷 AKA Türkiye 🇹🇷.)

 

Huey recently made a video about the difference between presidential systems and parliamentary systems, and how parliamentary systems are inherently better than presidential systems because the top leader is more accountable and is beholden to the officials in parliament. In a parliamentary system, the parliament can just fire a prime minister through a vote of no confidence if they don’t agree with him (or her) and don’t think that he (or she) is doing a good job. It’s more complicated than that, but that is what a parliamentary system is like and why it is generally preferable to a presidential system. 

 

With a presidential system, the president is not beholden to legislative body, and the legislature is not really able to get rid of him (or her) as easily as they would if this were a parliamentary system and they were a prime minister. It’s generally a lot easier for a presidential system to slip into a dictatorship than it is for parliamentary system, though is certainly not impossible. Huey named Hungary 🇭🇺 as a key example of a country parliamentary system that turned into a dictatorship. 

 

 

 

 

(This is the flag of Hungary 🇭🇺.)

 

 

 

He also said that in order for a leader in a parliamentary system to become a dictator, they need the entire parliament to be in unanimous support of them becoming a dictator, which usually means only having their own party in the parliament and no other political parties and making sure everyone in their party is a loyalist that supports them and only them. This is how Orbàn became dictator, so far the only true dictator inside of the European Union 🇪🇺 and the second dictator inside of NATO along with Erdoğan…oh, and also Trump 😒 (kind of, not yet). Speaking of Erdoğan, Huey also mentioned how Erdoğan turned Turkey 🇹🇷 into a presidential system. It used to have a parliamentary system, but after Erdoğan got elected the first time, he turned into a presidential system and went from being a prime minister to being a president. He’s also the one who renamed the country Türkiye 🇹🇷 for some reason. 

 

He also mentioned Nazi Germany, and how Hitler was able to become a dictator. He explained that Germany 🇩🇪 (the Weimar Republic 🇩🇪) had a hybrid system between a presidential system and a parliamentary system, where they had a president and a prime minister called a chancellor. Hitler tried running for president, but lost, but the current president at the time, Paul von Hindenburg, appointed him chancellor, and then granted him emergency powers after the Reichstag fire 🔥, which many historians suspect Hitler and the Nazis of staging. Then Hitler truly began his rise to power, and became a dictator in a pretty short amount of time. He then combined the two jobs and titles of president and chancellor into one: führer. 

India 🇮🇳 also sort of has a hybrid system because they also have a president and a prime minister, so India 🇮🇳’s chances don’t look too good, it looks pretty vulnerable. But, Modi’s ambitions of becoming a full-on dictator were paused for the time being because last year (the year incumbents across the globe lost big time), his party lost a lot of seats in parliament, and now has to work with a coalition government that will no doubt stand in the way of his agenda and what he wants to do. So, India 🇮🇳’s safe for the time being, but for now long? I can’t. All I say to Indians 🇮🇳 reading this who are concerned about their democracy, is get rid of Modi. Vote him out in the next election 🗳️ if you still can, if there even is a next election 🗳️. So, while parliamentary systems are certainly not perfect and are not completely 100% fool proof, there are still preferable to a presidential system. 

 

 

(This is the flag of South Korea 🇰🇷.) 

He ended that video by warning democratic countries with presidential systems to never elect someone like Trump as president, someone who is so narcissistic and full of hate and anger and also completely stupid, otherwise, they’ll lose their democracy. He specifically named South Korea 🇰🇷 as an example of a democratic country with presidential system that should be remain vigilant and avoid electing complete charlatans to the highest office in their land, which is why I’m showing the South Korean flag 🇰🇷 above. But, the problem with that is South Korea 🇰🇷 already did kind of elect someone like that, they did almost lose their democracy, that man ♂︎ was Yoon, and he really Suked…sorry for the pun 😕. 

 

He tried to declare martial law in a moment of desperation as a way of getting rid of his opposition and consolidate power and become a dictator. That way he could do whatever he wanted without worrying about what the opposition thinks. Luckily, his coup attempt failed because there were still enough South Koreans 🇰🇷 who were still politically engaged and who still cared enough about their democracy to stop a blatant attempt to stomp it out. So far, that has not happened in America 🇺🇸 because most Americans 🇺🇸 are not politically engaged, their politically disengaged, and they don’t care enough about their democracy to stop a blatant attempt to stomp it out. 

(This is the flag of the Philippines 🇵🇭.)

Something that Huey so far hasn’t made a video about or addressed at all is the recent arrest of Duterte, the former president of the Philippines 🇵🇭. I already kind of mentioned it before, but I didn’t go into a lot of detail. So here it goes. On Tuesday March 11, 2025, Duterte was arrested by Interpol and the Philippine National Police 🇵🇭 and was turned into the International Criminal Court ⚖️ (ICC ⚖️) and sent to The Hague to stand trial for crimes he committed while he was in office. Mostly the extrajudicial killings he incited and encouraged, but also other crimes too that violated international law fell under the jurisdiction of the ICC ⚖️. 

 

He was found guilty of those crimes through an investigation by the ICC ⚖️, which is why they put out a warrant for his arrest and why Interpol and the Philippine National Police 🇵🇭 handed him over. The Philippines 🇵🇭 is a signatory to the ICC ⚖️, and is legally obligated to turn in anyone who the ICC ⚖️ puts a warrant out for. That’s why Putin has made very few international visits since the start of the full-scale invasion of Ukraine 🇺🇦. If he steps foot in the wrong country, then it’s all over, his ass is being sent to The Hague. China 🇨🇳 of course defended Duterte, and said that the ICC ⚖️’s decision to arrest him was wrong and the court was illegitimate for doing this. Really not doing a good job of disproving that he’s a Chinese agent 🇨🇳 or Chinese asset 🇨🇳. 

 

In the past, I compared Duterte to Donald Trump, in fact, I even called him “the Filipino Donald Trump 🇵🇭” because he was that sort of right-leaning, post-truth, populist authoritarian leader that we’ve been seeing pop up like weeds all over the globe. I even wrote an alternate history scenario about what if he actually started a war with Canada 🇨🇦 (which is something he threatened to do while he was in office). Which makes it kind of funny that I’ve been talking at length about Canada 🇨🇦 throughout this post. To have his story end like this is kind of surreal, but also pretty satisfying. At least one of these stories had a happy ending, at least one of these dictators or wannabe dictators received some sort of accountability. If only Vladimir Putin, Xi Jinping, Kim Jong-un, Donald Trump, Nicolás Maduro, Narendra Modi, Alexander Lukashenko, Bashar al-Assad, Mohammed bin Salman, Nayib Bukele, Recep Tayyip Erdoğan, and Benjamin Netanyahu could face such a punishment.
 

(This is yet another screenshot of Huey Li from his video on the Genghis Khan complex, titled Why Elon brought his harem to meet the leader of India 🇮🇳: I call it the Genghis Khan complex..)

One thing that Huey said in one of his videos, I think it was the NATO one (the one about Trump killing NATO), that I thought was pretty interesting was that Russia 🇷🇺 never really had a true regime change. Even though the Soviet Union ☭ came to an end and the Russian Federation 🇷🇺 took its place, all of the old Soviet leadership ☭, all of the old Soviet bureaucrats ☭ and elites, were all still in place, they still held their same positions. This even includes the first president of post-Soviet Russia 🇷🇺, Boris Yeltsin. 

 

He was already the president of the Russian SFSR ☭, and still held that position even after the Union ☭ dissolved and all of the Soviet republics ☭ became independent states, including Russia 🇷🇺. Even all the people in the KGB still had their same positions, and went onto lead the KGB’s successor organizations, the FSB and the SRV RF, including Putin himself. This is partially why Russia 🇷🇺 never truly transitioned into democracy, why Russian democracy 🇷🇺 was so short lived, because it didn’t have a true regime change. It still essentially had the same government it had during the Soviet era ☭. 

 

It’s also why an oligarchy emerged in Russia 🇷🇺 after the collapse of the USSR ☭, because all of these old Soviet elites (now Russian elites 🇷🇺) used their positions in these institutions to enrich themselves 🤑. As well as the haphazard way that Yeltsin implemented these market reforms, getting rid of price controls and collectivization without implementing any sort of way to protect private property. Making Russia 🇷🇺 a sort of free-for-all anarcho-capitalist dystopia. Susceptible to falling to dictatorship. 

 

 

 

(This is one last screenshot of Huey Li from his video on Trump killing NATO, titled Why Trump killing NATO would be the end of the modern way of life as we know it..)

 

 

 

 

I never really thought of that. I think that’s a really interesting way of looking at it. Dare I say, insightful. It makes perfect sense, and explains why Russia 🇷🇺 is the way it is now almost perfectly. I also appreciate the reckoning that I see for the Yeltsin era, the acknowledgment that a lot of the problems that Russia 🇷🇺 faces already kind of started in the Yeltsin era. Just like how a lot of the problems America 🇺🇸 faces already kind of started in the Reagan era. Maybe even in the Nixon era. Even Vladimir Putin is kind of Yeltsin’s fault because he was appointed prime minister by Yeltsin, and then after he stepped down, Putin became the acting president. 

 

Sure, Putin did ultimately have to win an election 🗳️ to stay president, but he would’ve never gotten to that position in the first place without Yeltsin, without Yeltsin trying to save his own skin. Because he had corruption charges against him, there was an investigation going on into Yeltsin’s corruption, and he picked Putin specifically to get rid of all of those investigations, and so that he could walk away Scott free without facing any sort of repercussions for his corruptions. Of course, Yeltsin would ultimately come to regret his decision to pick Putin as his successor once Putin proved to be anti-democratic and became a dictator, but by then, it was already too late, and he ultimately died a failure. His dream of Russia 🇷🇺 being a democracy died with him, and because of his own failures and his own corruption, people would eventually come to see Russian democracy 🇷🇺 as a failed experiment.

Also, I’ve noticed that, in a lot of his videos recently, Huey refers to Elon Musk as just “the DOGE guy ♂︎,” not even calling it by his real name. You didn’t think we’d notice, huh, did you Huey? Is that conscious choice? Do you have that much disdain for Elon Musk that you don’t even want to say his name? Or do you want to humiliate, insult, and demean him by just referring to him as “the DOGE guy ♂︎”? Or it just easier for you to call him “the DOGE guy ♂︎” instead of calling Elon Musk? These are genuine questions, I’d really like to know the answer to them. Also, that guy ♂︎ that gave Elon Musk the chainsaw in that infamous and memed moment at CPAC was the Argentinian president 🇦🇷 Javier Milei. He’s an anarcho-capitalist weirdo who’s pretty much dismantling the Argentinian state 🇦🇷 in very the same way that Trump and Musk are doing to the US federal government 🇺🇸, and he wants to implement ancap policies that will no doubt crash the Argentinian economy 🇦🇷.

So, him and Elon are kindred spirits. The reason why he gave him a chainsaw specifically is that it’s kind of Javier’s shtick. It was a stupid prop or gimmick that Javier did while he was on the campaign trail, to represent him taking a chainsaw to bureaucracy and the corruption within the Argentinian government 🇦🇷. That’s why Elon embraced it as a symbol of what he was doing with DOGE, and said “chainsaw to bureaucracy! Chainsaw!” and then made those weird noises. I haven’t seen a single person acknowledge that, Javier Milei has kind of slipped through the cracks and hasn’t been looked at or examined as much as these other right-wing authoritarian populist leaders, and I don’t think he should, he’s just as bad as those other guys ♂︎. Huey, if you’re reading this, please get on that, please talk about this guy ♂︎. 

 

Also, since I mentioned Israel-Palestine 🇮🇱🇵🇸, I should mention that in the NATO video I talked about earlier that Huey mentioned Israel 🇮🇱 and Palestine 🇵🇸, and he basically said that he didn’t care who’s right or who’s wrong, which territory rightfully belongs to who. All he cares about is that Israel 🇮🇱 and Palestine 🇵🇸 never really had a solidified border that both sides could get used to, regardless of whether or not that border was “fair” or not. 

 

And he insinuates that the Israeli-Palestinian conflict 🇮🇱🇵🇸 happened because there wasn’t a solid border that either side could get used to and had to settle on, and it was instead amorphous and tentative. That’s a rather neutral take on the Israeli-Palestinian conflict 🇮🇱🇵🇸, it’s a safe, and dare I say cowardly way to view the conflict. But, I can sort of see where he’s coming from. He’s not Israeli 🇮🇱 and he’s not Palestinian 🇵🇸, hell, he’s not even Jewish ✡️ or Arab. Why should he decide who gets what in this conflict? 

 

That should be between Israel 🇮🇱 and Palestine 🇵🇸. Though a sort of resolution to the conflict, and settling of borders can’t actually happen without international pressure, especially on Israel 🇮🇱. Once countries (particularly those in West) stop being so cowardly and actually start being tough on Israel 🇮🇱, telling them to end all hostilities otherwise they’ll cut off all arms shipments, and maybe even threaten sanctions, instead of just enabling Israel 🇮🇱’s behavior, then we can actually start getting somewhere and end this conflict in a way that benefits the Palestinian people 🇵🇸 and ends their suffering. Huey just cares about the current international order, the modern way of life that we all benefit from it and take for granted every single day, and he sees the Israeli-Palestinian conflict 🇮🇱🇵🇸 as an affront to that. 

 

But, even if Huey doesn’t care (or claims to not care) who’s right and who’s wrong, and which territory actually belongs to and whether or not it’s fair or unfair, still he has to acknowledge that the Israeli-Palestinian conflict 🇮🇱🇵🇸 is a tragedy, it’s a tragedy that it’s even happening at all and it’s moral travesty that no one is really doing anything about it. It seems that most people (including Huey himself) are giving up on the possibility that conflict will end, or end in a way that benefits both sides and puts an end to the suffering, injustice, and exploitation. Certainly, Huey has to acknowledge that the way Israel 🇮🇱 has been conducting this current war in Gaza 🇵🇸 is morally wrong and illegal and does at the very least border on genocide (most people on the pro-Palestine side 🇵🇸 say it is genocide, but we won’t use that word if you think it’s just too strong and hyperbolic), and that they should face legal, economic, and moral repercussions for what they’re doing to the people in Gaza 🇵🇸 (and the West Bank 🇵🇸 for that matter). No matter how you look it, Israel 🇮🇱 is in the wrong in this particular war. 

 

They were in the right at the start, they were even justified at first, because they were attacked and over a thousand of their own people were either killed or kidnapped and held hostage. Of course, they had the right to go in and retaliate. Just as we had the right to retaliate against al-Qaeda in Afghanistan 🇦🇫 after 9/11. But, the longer the war went on, and the way Israel 🇮🇱 was actually conducting that war against Hamas, they stopped being in the right, and they became just as bad, if not worse than the enemy that they were fighting, or were purporting to fight. You get the sense that the Israeli government 🇮🇱 used the October 7 attack and war against Hamas to execute their real goal which is the expulsion or even outright extermination of the Palestinian people 🇵🇸. They became monsters. 

 

Surely, Huey has to acknowledge that and agree with that. I mean, if you’re going to say that Russia 🇷🇺’s war against Ukraine 🇺🇦 is a genocidal war, then you have to say the same about Israel 🇮🇱’s war in Gaza 🇵🇸. Or at least, he has to acknowledge that Benjamin Netanyahu is an authoritarian-leaning anti-democratic leader, a wannabe dictator who is trying to destroy Israeli democracy 🇮🇱, and is partially using this war to do it. Oh, and that Netanyahu is also a war criminal that deserves to be prosecuted by the ICC ⚖️. That’s more Huey’s wheelhouse.

Update (Tuesday May 13, 2025):

🇺🇸🇨🇳

Looks like another one bites the dust because as of today (Tuesday May 13, 2025), I have officially unsubscribed from Huey Li’s channel. The reason why is pretty simple really: he kept telling people to use AI. And I hate AI, at least in its current form, and I think it’s done way more harm than good. I was hoping that it would just be a fad and go away like cryptocurrency and NFTs did, but it doesn’t really seem like that will happen anytime soon. I am at least glad that the majority of people (at least on the Internet 🛜) have turned on AI and realized how much it actually sucks. Except for ol’ Huey boy ♂︎ here. It seems he didn’t get the memo because he keeps telling people to use AI to answer questions about politics or history. That’s always his go-to, the thing he tells all of his viewers to do, “just ask an AI.” No, you dolt, I will not just ask AI. I won’t use AI for anything. I cannot in conscious support someone who advocates for AI or tells people to use AI as if it’s the easy answer to everything. 

 

So, I just did away with him, unsubscribed, and moved on. He was never going to read this anyway. I posted comments on his videos, seeing if he’d respond so that I could link him this post and he ignored it. In fact, he’s been ignoring all comments since he doesn’t reply to comments anymore. Guess he’s too good for that now 🙄. The only comment I’ve seen him reply to in the last few months was one obvious troll comment or hate comment on his video about the Canadian election 🇨🇦. I feel like I wrote this baby for nothing. 

 

It took me three or four days to write this, and I feel like all that work was for nothing, that I wasted a whole bunch of time writing about a YouTuber that I’m not even subscribed to anymore. I’m not going to delete it though, I’m still going to keep it up because I really just used this post to air out some of my political beliefs, to get some things off of my chest that I never really had a chance. In fact, I included so many things in this that I ran out of things to talk about, and now I really don’t talk about politics anymore on this blog, or at least anything about current events and whatever stupid shit the president is doing (or not doing). Not even talking about the war in Ukraine 🇺🇦 is all that exciting at this point since so little has actually changed on the battlefield or on the political front. 

 

It’s become stagnant, and I hate to say, boring. I know that’s a messed up thing to say about a conflict in which thousands of people have died and dozens or even hundreds continue to die, on the Ukrainian side 🇺🇦. On the Russian side 🇷🇺, thousands are dying. There’s no point in talking about the war in Ukraine 🇺🇦 at this point when so little has happened or changed in a meaningful way. I don’t need to do constant daily updates. There are already plenty of people doing that, some of whom, I’ve complained about and questioned their validity on this blog. I decided to only bring up the war in Ukraine 🇺🇦 and write posts dedicated to it only when something major happens, and so far, that hasn’t happened. 

 

So, it has value in that way, beyond just talking about a YouTuber I used to watch and was once subscribed to. This is the second time in row, where I’ve written about a YouTuber who I was subscribed to, only to then unsubscribe from that person not long after. I don’t why that keeps happening. I hate to say I’m cursed because I don’t believe in curses, but it almost feels like I’m cursed. Maybe, I shouldn’t write about anyone else in this series if I don’t want to lose faith in them and if I want to stay subscribed to them. Maybe, I’ll just write this series off as a failed experiment. That seems like the way to go.
