As an Australian, I need to correct you Johnny, the US did not "give" Australia submarines, our government paid around $300 billion dollars for them with taxpayer money that was highly disputed by the public.

Hey Johnny, just a slight correction. The Philippines is not claiming that certain areas of the South China Sea are Philippine territorial waters. Under the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea (UNCLOS), which the Philippines is a signatory to, a country can only claim up to 12 nautical miles from its baselines as its territorial waters. However, the UNCLOS also provides that the distance from 12 nautical miles, up to 200 nautical miles from the baseline is the Exclusive Economic Zone. This is the portion which the Philippines calls the West Philippine Sea. This was affirmed in 2016 by a ruling by an Arbitral Tribunal constituted under the UNCLOS which ruled in favor of the Philippines against China. The same ruling also held that the nine-dash line claimed by China does not have any basis in international law. Not surprisingly, China does not honor this ruling. The US also is not able to completely support the ruling because it is not a signatory to the UNCLOS. As a result, China's Coast Guard regularly harass Filipino fishermen peacefully fishing in our exclusive economic zone. There was even one incident where a Chinese Coast Guard ship rammed into a Filipino fishing vessel and left the crew floating in the sea. As for the training of the US and Philippine militaries, the most recent Balikatan (which is the Filipino term meaning "shoulder-to-shoulder") Exercises held just this year simulated live fire exercises at sea, including drone shoot downs and targeting and sinking a ship at sea, off of Palawan island. Pretty strong signals to China, I think.

BRICS wants to build a new currency. It is also worth noting that gold has historically been used as a store of value and a means of exchange, and some countries still hold significant amounts of gold in their reserves. However, it is unclear how a new currency backed by gold would function in the current global financial system and whether it would gain widespread acceptance. Ultimately, any decision to create a new currency would be subject to numerous economic, political, and logistical considerations.

❤❤❤ I can't tell you how thankful I am for every single ,informative video, you have shared! I have learned SO MUCH from you! I remember Social Studies from high school but forget some as the years went by. However, you know more and beyond that because you've done your research (a lot) So, THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR SHARING!❤❤❤

I must say this is an excellent video

"In the nuclear world, the true enemy can't be destroyed. In the nuclear world, the true enemy is war itself."

Crazy how humanity is fighting constantly.

i like this video's title is US preparing for war while in thumbnail there's not a single bit of US soil.

The US did not give nuclear submarine designs to Australia freely. It was incredibly expensive and caused a big ruckus in Australia... to say the USA is giving the weapons to Australia for free is very misleading

I love hearing about watches, personal workouts and fitness goals when watching an informative piece on foreign conflict.

Im amaze want you given to us superduper great works/topics I will be your subscriber now on 😁

Just a note, I lived in Guam for 12 years and Camp Blaz isn't RE-opening, it's the first NEW US Marine base to be built since (IIRC) the 50's. It was originally a Naval Station called NCTAMS (NCTS) but is being reformatted and expanded dramatically to house the Marines from Okinawa. (This is all public knowledge I've heard while living there, FYI).

Man the editor & animator deserves a raise

Really scary stuff. Well done with explaining it to me in a easy to digest manner 👍 🎉

Amazing work, love the information. I would love to get my hands on a map or two you guys are working with. I am a map geek for sure but have just 2 globes in my office. Would love to hang map on my man cave wall.

It should be noted that escalation has already happened: when China started dredging and built up military bases in the South China sea in 2014. They completed the first military runway in 2015. This isn't a he said she said situation. In this case, China said it loud and clear and the surrounding countries are just responding. I also distinctly remember the Philippines voicing insecurity over the Mutual Defense Treaty with the USA when they asked for help then and only got platitudes. of ambiguity. Amidst all the inevitable both sides-ism framing, the countries requesting this type of escalations are being requested by the actual countries being affected. The USA, ever the opportunist, is happy to oblige as well as the partner countries requesting aid. The degree of bullying that China has been doing in the region is not Uncle Sam's doing. Indeed, there were actually signs that the USA was pulling away back in the 2010s.

I have a friend that is a submariner in the RAN (Royal Australian Navy) based at HMAS Stirling in Perth and I can confirm that the HMAS Stirling base has grown a lot and will continue to grow a lot over the next few years in preparation for our new submarines

Thanks for this little information sir John.❤️👍
