40:38 Here's the problem: The Japanese government didn't attack China. The Japanese army did. This sounds like it's splitting hairs, but the key note here is that the Japanese government had no control over its own military at the time, and the officers were basically out of the government's control. Which meant that Japan declared wars it didn't want. This was so bad that when the Japanese government surrendered, large segments of its military just straight refused the order, and the emperor had to make a new order calling for the military itself to surrender, and it still didn't lead to 100% surrender.

One thing I feel is being greatly overlooked is the rapid drop in birthrate in even non western countries, not just east Asia. Birthrates are dropping in countries such as India, Turkey, Mexico, and even some Arab nations, at a rate much faster than Germany or Russia. The collapse in birthrate in a lot of these developing countries that were largely rural with weak infrastructures in the 1980s and 90s, experienced rapid urbanization, coupled with shrinkage of their agricultural output, have put them in a situation where families are decreasing in size, having fewer children. In many cases, birthrates have dropped in 30 years whereas it took western Europe 150 years to get there. Population growth in Eastern Europe fell at a much more advanced rate than western Europe, and growth fell in East Asia at an even faster rate than that. Another thing that is troubling is the fact that countries experiencing the greatest population booms are mainly countries that are extremely food insecure and drought prone, such as the Sahel and Pakistan. The issue with this is that these underdeveloped regions are heavily reliant on the more developed nations that are soon most likely going to fall, demographically, and economical

@TheSwedishHistorian I honestly feel as if this trend in a declining birthrates will lead to an inevitable breaking in the current global trade networks that are in place, I don't feel as if the trajectory we are headed is unstoppable. I fear that some countries may decivilize, famines will increase in the in the less developed nations, and fuel shortages and blackouts in developed countries. I do however disagree with some analysis, especially Peter Ziehan (forgive me if I misspelled his name), about how Germans and Han Chinese will die out, and this is the complete end for them. More than likely the world population will decrease, but level out over the course of the next 100-200 years, maybe around 4 billion people or so. I'm not optimistic about the next 100 years, there will be nations that suffer more than others. Keep in mind, no one has a magic crystal ball. I also feel as is both Rudyard and Peter Ziehan, are a bit too bullish on Japan and too pessimistic on Iran.

The crossover we've been waiting for!

Patterns and connections are something I needed to really dig into history again.

@@MeanBeanComedy As a French, to me Québecois accent to me sounds closer to the accent an Anglophone person would have when speaking french, than if a French person from France (or Belgium, Switzerland, etc.) does, if that makes sense. I feel like there is less a gap between English vowels and Québécois french vowels compared to English vowels and European french vowels. If I were to take an Anglophone person, and ask them to read some French text without them knowing how things are pronounced, I'm sure many of the vowel pronouncing choices they will naturally make because of having English as a native language will sound closer to how Québécois people say them compared to how European francophones will say them. So there might be more familiarity there. I think that's why it might be easier for you to pick up on what Québecois people say.

RE:Groki. Totally agree that's where we are at. Wealthly inequality pushing us to destabilization leading to totalitarians. Three factors suggest that it will have to be worse than it was in Rome before the pressures result in ceazers: 1) Publicly traded corporations. Rather than family wealth, we have corps at the top. Which have boards of directors. Coordinating everyone on a board towards the goal of 'take over America' is a harder sell than doing so with a clan. 2) Tech is where wealth is being created, rather than slaves on plantations. This means Zuckerberg doesn't have an army as part of normal operations (Roman slaves came from military victory- ergo the wealthy were tied with the military) 3) Demographics are flipping/globalization has run it's course. Workers are going to be getting more bargaining power. Which means the rich will get relatively less of the pie. That said: We'll see how it goes. It's certainly a valid rhyme.

I wouldn`t put THAT Much faith into what these guys are saying. A lot of it is nonsense. I`m Bulgarian and my country has centuries of religious, cultural and historic ties to Russia. As a European I`d say this 1. The old guy is just a dumb American who doesn`t know what he`s talking about. A LOT of Europeans think about this stuff weekly if not daily and everyone has an opinion about it. 2. A lot of Europeans (myself included) blame America for this war. 3. The Russian leadership thus far has proven very sensible and pragmatic (although corrupt). 4. In retrospect both the French and the Germans were proven correct in dealing with Russia and the Americans proved themselves morons and backstabbers. 5. Nobody here thinks that Russia wants to conquer all of Europe in order to fight China. This doesn`t make ANY sense. Some think they will stop at Ukraine and Moldova. Others think they will go for the Baltics as well. Worst/best case is they try to bite chunks of Poland and Romania as well.

Damn that French is living in some pararel reality.....

I don`t know what they tell you in America but here in Europe we kind of hear what this guy says. Putin has a daughter who is married to a Dutch billionaire. He has stated multiple times that he does NOT want a monarchy or to be crowned king or anything of the sort. He has also stated multiple times that he wants to recover influence (preferably without war but with unions and vassals and stuff) in parts of the former Soviet space multiple times and over the last 20+ years has largely been consistent, successful in this with his deeds matching his words. The war in Ukraine from the perspective of many Europeans is the fault of America and many blame American aggression for it. Including large parts of the European elite who in retrospect were proven right in dealing with Russia and feel backstabbed by our American "allies". I personally count myself among these.
