I’m watching through his other course, on the history of western civilization, and in the first 6 classes he’s covered:
— “Old Europe” / the Longhouse: how egalitarian matriarchies produce peaceful societies but are unable to defend themselves and get crushed
— the Yamnaya conquest: patriarchy enabling rapid spread and innovation
— the Bronze Age Collapse: touching on Elite Overproduction as a contributing factor
The next 6 episodes are all about Ancient Greece and then it goes into the Punic Wars. There are 60 lectures in total.

🧵 This guy @xueqinjiang’s classes from last year, predicting a US/Israel-Iran conflict, are doing the rounds, but I’ve been watching some of his other videos and I’m consistently surprised.
This is a high school class, at a prestigious high school in Beijing, many of whose students intend to go to university in the US.
There’s nothing in these videos that is a surprise to me, but what’s shocking is that they’re teaching actual serious geopolitics to 17 year olds to prepare them for the world.
This kind of information and analysis is something that is not easily accessible in the west, given the extreme levels of media propaganda that obscures it today. The fact that the actual elected leaders of some western counties don’t seem to understand this basic stuff, to their own detriment, is a testament to how badly things are.
It took me years of listening to different sides, watching global events closely, and reflecting on it all, to figure out how to understand geopolitics. Even though this kind of analysis is generally accepted in IR academia, even there it is under serious onslaught by both leftist and neocon propaganda.
I want to post a few clips from his class about Russia’s strategic position, which touches on China, Taiwan, Israel, Iran, the EU, and then ends up in a detailed historical analysis of the geopolitics and geoeconomics of WW2.
In the first clip, he outlines an accurate synopsis of Putin’s strategy with regard to Ukraine, and the attrition of NATO cash and materiel:
@RWApodcast If you put all the pieces together, it’s extremely clear that this bombing operation was intended to “disarm” Israel, and prevent them from dragging the US into war, not to disarm Iran.
The Pro-War Lobby has completely exposed themselves. They don't care about Trump. They don't care about MAGA. They don't care about America
They only care about war
Face saving operation. Bomb the entrance with Iran agreeing to not excavate it for a set period of time.
If Iran doesn't respond this is what I think happened.
Remember when they said Trump would get us into a full-blown war with Iran?
Times like these should make us all realize how lucky we were to have Trump, his strength and his resolve.
It can’t be overstated how central hatred of low-caste whites is to the identity and status of the left
The idea of being ruled by one of the untouchables causes them to drop all pretense
Hurricane was a true American hero.
The most decorated K-9 in U.S. history, he bravely defended the White House and spent retirement helping other working dogs through @Hurricane_K9. His legacy of courage and loyalty will live on.
Rest easy, Hurricane. 🇺🇸🐾
