Just to be precise, Japan’s Shin-Etsu Chemical and SUMCO make many of the semiconductors (i.e. silicon wafers, gallium arsenide) used in TSMC’s chips/integrated circuits and in particular their graphics processing units (GPUs). It is these GPUs and other chips that are used in computers and AI data centres, not the raw semiconductors themselves.

11:05 changing the behavior of a country isnt the only goal of sanctions. In fact, its probably not even considered a goal at all.

I find it very interesting that we continually look to POLITICALLY affiliated “experts” employed for a brief time under very specific conditions for these questions. As opposed to actual academics who have studied these things for decades completely UNRELATED to any political agenda, but alas..
I commend him for his service under Obama, but he started as a speech writer and his credentials are a Master’s in Creative Writing. He served for 9 years. I know we love “real world” experience but good lord guys. This is how we got to where we are. Just taking ANYONE adjacent to any “power” as an “expert”.
Lots of very good and accurate points, but for how long this video is, dangerously reductive in many answers.

Essentially all conflicts in the world today have their roots in the US trying to exert their influence and control, so other countries in their own regions feel threatened, Russia with NATO, Iran with Israel, and China with a bunch of other Asia Pacific countries and regions(Japan, South Korea, Taiwan, Philippine) etc., and make them want to proactively ensure their own security, which resulted in the majority of geopolitical issues that we see right now.

Vietnam was way more humiliating, and we don’t seem to care. Iran has been actively opposing us. Also, your leftism is showing.

Kyiv was never the capital of Russia. This is historically incorrect. Please refer to Timothy Snyder regarding if you want to learn something about Ukrainian history.

Genocide scholars and legal experts, many of which are Jewish agree that genocide is taking place in Gaza by Netanyahu’s government. To pretend otherwise is wrong.

Thank you for educating ppl on Iran. I’m a boomer and I don’t believe younger generations are aware of how much the U.S. butted into Iran. It actually began in 1950, over oil. And the U.S. involvement with Iran continues. Personally, I’m over it.

Mutually assured destruction is like Russia having a gun pointed at the head of every American, and the US having a gun pointed at every Russian head, and calling the resulting hostage stalemate peaceful. More war where individuals die is more logical than less war but when it happens the whole world dies. The notion that complete annihilation of all life is better than the slow bleed of individual lives in war seems the result of very short-term thinking. Only one of those two has a future. Plus, we keep bleeding human lives anyway, so does it do the trick?

About the whole AI race. Even if it’s possible to get AGI, it depends on the cost. We have already seen milestones reach by 2nd and 3rd party at a much lower cost.
The AI hype machine almost promotes AGI as it will be 100x human intelligence at a fraction of the cost of hiring humans. It could be the reverse.

What I’ve come to learn about republicunts is that as long as they aren’t affected directly by something….they could care less who is affected or hurt or killed.

So, you’re telling me the world’s problems really are the fault of poorly educated, conservative, religious people and politicians who favor fascism, nationalism, isolationism, etc? Huh… I never would’ve guessed. And you’re telling me we really don’t have to live this way. Yeah… some of us knew this and agree with you.

It’s funny how you say bin laden uses words specifically to appeal to young Americans but he should be judged by his actions, all the while Palestine does the exact same with with similar ideology of strict Islamic rule and somehow it’s defensible: they both kill thousands in the name of jihad.

That’s a very leftist and reductionist and thus misleading view of the war in Ukraine, even though he’s an ally.
