Well, I'm not the condescending douchenozzle who said that this is something that could only be understood by "very intelligent freepers", and that the others shouldn't bother. That level of condescension immediately sent up a red flag that this is probably somebody whose recimmendations I should disregard.
Your response suggests that you too are somebody who's advice I should not take either. Principally because you advised me that "reading" other perspectives was valuable, but this particular perspective is a two plus hour YouTube video that I'd obviously have to watch - for two freaking hours - rather than read.
So first, you apparently don't understand the difference between reading, and watching. Either that, or you are recommending that I click on a link that you yourself haven't checked out.
But second, there is no way I am going to take 2+ hours out of the day to watch a YouTube video of someone of whom I have never heard, based on recommendations by people I don't know and whose judgment I have no reason to trust.,
In fact, I think that is the course that most "very intelligent Freepers" will choose.

From Danny Haiphong:
Hong Kong is China.Crimea is Russia.
And Israel is PALESTINE.
Your vocabulary and passion betray you.

This is the video... Pepe Escobar has a Spanish accent so is bit hard to understand. The interviewer do not allow for closed captioning. I am familiar with Pepe he has been talking up Russia, China, the BRICS for years. This is his shtick.
