He really is dumb and has no idea of history. He is talking about the last 80 years being the long peace, without actually referring to the term, as he probably does not know it. However, he interprets that as though there was no war and discusses the fact that there are several small wars now is the cause of the americcan power decreasing. Hoewver, he does not state that even during the last 80 years there have been constant wars in most of the world, the reason why it is referred to as the long peace is the fact that there has been no major war between the major powers. He is an imbecile who presumes himself an expert on history and international politics, however he has no idea what he is talking about.

Concerning his list:

1 North-Korean collapse but somehow they will then also be possible to invade South Korea? His theory makes no real sense
2 Chinese invasion of Taiwan, this one has been predicted for a long time and would not really surprise anyone, so probably the best prediction he could make. Now, the predictions he makes of what would happen afterwards is quite stupid but the original prediction seems fine.
3 Chinese civil war, he thinks china will spiral into warlords, an absolutely stupid prediction
4 Russia civil war, again with warlords. What is it with him and warlords? Russia will not collapse into warlords. Could there by a civil war? Unlikely but possible, however this would still result into a centralized governmeent, as it has done after every revolution/coup in the last centuries
5 Caucasian war, only makes sense if the 4th becomes real with Tukey recreating the Ottoman empire
6 Pakistan, apparently pakistan does not have the will to survive and India will take them over. This is idiotic, there have been skirmishes between Pakistan and India for decades, hwoever these will not escalate as the problem is that both countries have fucking nuclear weapons. If pakistan ever comes into a situation as this idiot is describing it will be goodnight mumbai
7 Afghan wars of expansion, stupid to think that they have the logistics to do this
8 US-Iran war, this is an issue, however he is an imbecile with his reasons, either for Biden before his re-election or jsut to kill young men to prevent the incel uprising.
9 new US civil war (absolute retard)
10 european troubles, apparently europe needs violence, they need war, coups and mobs in the street. and apparently europe is currently a coherent force? Idiot, Europe has never and will never be a coherent force

He is an imbecile and probably has yellow fever. It also shows exactly howw much of an American view he has of the world, as these are certainly not the most likely future wars, there are far more likley scenarios in other parts of Asia, Africa and latin America than at least half of his predictions here. Again he really is someone who thinks of himself as an intellectual who knows hsitory, knows international relations and politics but who has absolutely no idea about any of it.

This is idiotic, there have been skirmishes between Pakistan and India for decades, hwoever these will not escalate as the problem is that both countries have fucking nuclear weapons.

This one is beyond stupid. India has invested heavily into anti ballistic missile defense. And Pakistan doesn't exactly have thousands of nukes to overwhelm their defences. Pakistan knows it, India knows it. It's not happening.
 
The idea of a second American Civil War in my mind isn't that crazy, its just the form Rudyard thinks itd take. Its not gonna be incels forming a mass movement, it'd be MAGA militias, among other factions, taking over parts of the country and getting bombed by drones while the American government doesn't acknowledge its lost de facto control of said areas. Kind of like in Afghanistan under American occupation, government control of major cities while the countryside is a hostile territory. Frequent skirmishes, but no large scale revolution, no large land battles, etc etc.

Rudy basically gets his geopolitical takes from HOI4, and thinks revolutions, and major wars will just spontaneously happen.

Speaking of which, many Hoi4 fans have done fan superevents of a Second American Cival War. Like this one:

Rudie is probably a Hoi4 filthy animefag that plays things like the Chainsaw Man mod or The Moe Order
 
Rudyard has a bona-fide alogger on YouTube, Westside Tyler.
The guy who made this should have his own thread. I don't have many examples now but it's honestly almost sociopathic how comfortable he is channeling so much hatred.
Rudie's true love🥰🥰🥰 (Don't rate this horrifying)
About that .... Individual. Where is this coming from? Is there some Rudy lore I don't know about? Was this in one of the slides in his videos?

Minute 22-something, he was saying that there's like 15% of women that are more masculine than femenine and also the other way around

I really wish this guy would have more oversight from a socially skilled relative that would tell him how suspect it is putting that in his video, whether or not he has a.. paraphillia for those.. types I don't know, but you can't have people actually wondering if you're a thought leader.

I completelly agree, but let's be real, this guy is a perfect example of Dunning-Kruger effect. He's not very bright, and his takes are usually dumb as hell, with some good points that are so obvious, they are irrelevant. When it comes for those 10 wars only Chinese invasion of Taiwan is more or less possible, but there are TONS of other wars that are far more possible:
1. Serbian-Kosovo war over northern Kosovo
2. If Russia gains land bringe then invasion/annexation of Moldova
3. No matter if Russia wins or losses current war - invasion of Georgia. If they win in Ukraine that's just next step, if they lose in Ukraine then Putin gonna needs any success, any bullying far smaller and weaker state if a way to go
And that's just Europe, war in western/northern Europe is pure lunacy, but I quess for some Americans Europe consists of Spain, Italy, Germany, UK and Scandinavia.
I'm not an expert on other parts of the world but wars in eastern Africa(Ethiopia invading Eritrea) or western Africa(if he likes civil wars so much then Nigeria could spiral into it - southern part of it is completely different than northern, not to mention there was already civil war in Nigeria not that long ago) are far more likely than nuclear exchange between Pakistan and India or civil war in US. But again - I quess for some Americans everything always in the end needs to involve USA. And USA is so powerful that almost any potential war that involves USA is 'boring' so they need China or other Americans to feel like potential war could be hard to predict who wins.
Although I have to confess, he is so sincere with his retarded takes that it's kinda cute. His videos are at least entertaining.

As much as Pajeets and Pakis want this, it ain't happening.

7 Afghan wars of expansion, stupid to think that they have the logistics to do this
Even with the capture American equipment, the Afghans have a long way to go to commit to any offensive wars.

8 US-Iran war, this is an issue, however he is an imbecile with his reasons, either for Biden before his re-election or jsut to kill young men to prevent the incel uprising.
As brain4breakfast put it, "Invading Iran would be like invading Afghanistan on steroids." It won't happen for obvious reasons.

10 european troubles, apparently europe needs violence, they need war, coups and mobs in the street. and apparently europe is currently a coherent force? Idiot, Europe has never and will never be a coherent force
This is the same as white nationalists saying "All whites should unite" without realizing European history is essentially whites killing whites for millennia.

Rudyard has some interesting thoughts on Buddha
Wasn't that literally the other way around? Siddharta Gautama had all the material and social benefits in life, but he suffered despite of them, then, after trying many methods, he decided to reject those benefits, as he reached the conclusion that they were the true cause of his suffering

Thats why America is unique. It was founded upon a rejection of the divisions that defined Europe, the idea that "all men are created equal" regardless of how that manifested at the time. Rudyard takes that for granted and thinks his "Scots-Irish heritage" or whatever the fuck actually matters. We're in one boat at this point, a sailor jumping off the boat mid voyage because he thinks hes different, even better than the other crewmen is utterly retarded and delusional.

Nah, he saw the suffering humans lived in outside of his father's palace, and then ran away from home to become an ascetic in an attempt to understand it and why it happened. He may have felt spiritually unfulfilled, but the journey was more about understanding the world than his personal suffering. Having then experienced both extreme pleasure and extreme deprivation as a result of his wandering asceticism, he became enlightened and began preaching the Middle Way, aka the Eightfold Path.

What strongly differentiates the Buddha's experience from wokescolds is that a) he renounced the privileges he was born with, he didn't keep enjoying them while lecturing others, and b) it was a personal, spiritual journey rather than him using his power as a nobleman to strongarm those around him into conforming to his worldview.

What you said reminded me of this quote from John Steinbeck;

"America did not exist, four centuries of work, bloodshed, loneliness, and fear created this land. We built America and the process made us Americans. A new breed, rooted in all races, stained and tinted with all colors, a seeming ethnic anarchy. Then in a bitter we became more alike then we were different. A new society, not great but fitted by our very faults for greatness."

Rudyard takes that for granted and thinks his "Scots-Irish heritage" or whatever the fuck actually matters.
Rudy would fit into Scottish or Irish society as well as an African American would fit into Nigerian society.
 
Those responses are neurotic.

"The hecking Vegas late night fast food restaurant employee couldn't muster a response when someone accidentally dropped their already paid for food!!!! The west has fallen!"

I can see why they're fans of Rudy.
The scale of social awkwardness from these tweets is impressive. Not even Anton Chigurh could be this socially inept.

In other news, I came to an epiphany about Rudy. He's quite similar to another history related YouTuber by the name of Dean Mosley, better known as Monsieur Z.

-Both are Zoomers
-Both got their start via alternate history
-Both are right-leaning politically
-Both have gotten into hot water with their various takes on politics and history from both sides of the political spectrum
-Both, frankly, aren't taken very seriously by anyone outside of their own bubble

Hey, Monsieur doesn't schizopost, is of pure italian stock instead of a scoto-irish abomination, and, most importantly, talks like an actual person instead of as an autist
