    A real shame about Bhutan getting caught up between the growing tensions between China and India; if any nation deserves to be left alone, it's them.
  • @kennymedic58
    Using Chinese logic, does that mean China belongs to Mongolia ?
  • @thearpox7873
    The problem of strong-arming other countries into an 'alliance', is that such alliances may well fail when you need them the most. (Referring to China.)

    I don’t understand why Beijing thinks that because they built something on that land that it suddenly becomes more theirs. If I build a shed on my neighbors lawn, that lawn doesn’t become mine. My neighbor just gets a new shed.
  • it just blows my mind how a country with one of the largest territories is being greedy over a tiny portion of land
  • Bhutan is helpless in the face of a Chinese invasion. India should help protect Bhutanese independence.
  • @thomas_jay
    These episodes belong the best of geopolitical analyses out there. I like especially the coverage of the smaller events.
  • @s.s_sachi
    16:38 Kenya's last president was not assasinated. It was Haiti's last president that got assasinated.
  • @Mereinid
    Thank you Simon, for breaking all down. Keep up the oustanding work.
  • Buthan is a beautiful country I had the privilege to visit before COVID. I hope the best for its people.
  • @bkm83442
    I see a pattern with China, same approach in the South China Sea: (1) claim somebody else's property as your own; (2) say it's "disputed"; (3) build your stuff there before anybody notices.
  • @stacyscott2720
    The danger in Bhutan is that a rogue Chinese regional commander could trigger a conflict without explicit authorization from Beijing. Such an occurrence happened to the British in Natal against the Zulu in 1879. Your comparisons to the 19th century are prescient.
  • @chthonomancer
    as Benin is one of the direct ancestral nations to Haiti, it made me feel joy hearing theyd back the intervention with personnel
  • @SpaceMonkeyBoi
    I know America has it's own problems, but imagine having territorial disputes with MOST of your neighbors...
  • @Nathan-vt1jz
    Glad to have Finland and Sweden in the alliance! Welcome from the US.
  • @FarsightAE
    Meanwhile china simps: "China isnt imperialists 🤓"
  • @ignitionfrn2223

  • @erfarkrasnobay
    This what happen when you ignore dictators vialations of international borders.
  • @just_hands13
    Interesting fact - Google maps changed disputed regions between Bhutan and China in favour of China in January. At least the google maps version in India.

    I must say: While this video is long, it's very well-made and is not stretched into oblivion with well-sounding void. This is the first video from you I'm watching, and I have to subscribe. Well done.
