How Geography Made The US Ridiculously OP

"OP"? Sure.

TL:DW: north america op pls nerf

So Americans got really lucky off geography, the backs of others and the 'manifest destiny' genocide of the native population. Well done.

You just tell Ed the enamees of usa

Way to not mention the environment devastation of manufacturing, exploitation of the prairies and fracking. AT ALL. Maybe make as in depth a video espousing all the peaceful, positive, environmentally restorative practices happening around the globe. This appears to be nothing more than a rah rah promotional video for capitalism, exploitation and business as usual, which everyone should know is unsustainable.

What does OP stand for?

Easy, they stole land.

The Mississippi River is being held hostage lmfao😂

I'm from America and I approve this video. Quite an epic production. Keep at it

Bro is putting EMPHasis on EVEry SINGle WORD and it’s DRIVing me CRAzy

Great tips for the Chinese too.. 😄

So Columbus DID find gold...???

Ideology matters too.

Um, no. People and ideology matter too. I love that you tried to slip that in though.

US monetary success is due to its capitalist trade policies and inalienable rights that allow its natural resources to be utilized the most effective and efficient ways possible. Many other countries with similarly blessed resources, suffer from socialist policies that inhibit growth and stifle entrepreneurial pursuits.

The greatest asset the USA has is not its geography. While that is a very important feature, the MOST important feature is its people, unshackled, free to become entrepreneurs. Period.

Just think when the United States was manufacturing evrything how these waterways helped to propel the nation to an unstoppable Superpower!! To bad they also helped to give it all away.

No the US doesn't have its ..." snarky ass limitations "....We just let yall live !

It's called GOD and capitalism !....GOD BLESSED us !

And the Biden admin has successfully reversed all the energy production gains US has made in the last 20 years.

Hi Jake

Good video.

If the US just found all this oil and natural gas then why are gas prices so damn high and my home heating prices are higher than last year as well? Sounds like we're all just being ripped off. This is really making me mad. Ever since COVID the price of everything has gone up 30 to 40 percent with companies saying that it's so hard to get things because of workers being sick or supplies being cut off, but what about now with none of that difficulty has the price for everything stayed the same with workers at work and supplies at the normal again? It's just greed and companies seeing how much they can squeeze out of us and I'm really mad at them for this because I live paycheck to paycheck and can't afford corporate stupidity like this.

Really wish this narrator would listen to Morgan Freeman or David Attenborough. Not every sentence needs such emphasis. It gets tiring.

The 1800s called, and they want their economic analysis back😂. In modern times, economic prosperity is 99% due to human capital and governance factors. For example, compare the similar geographies of Taiwan to Cuba, or South Korea to Venezuela. Look up the World Corruption Index of any country and compare it to their per capita GDP.

Amazingly out-of-date; unfortunately: WE forget WHO we are: Hebrew descendents of Joseph...

Did bro use the CIV 6 resource icons in the animation? Haha Great video!

Watch number 6 😂

Mother (UK) and daughter (USA) absolutely dominating this world for hundreds upon hundreds of years. If democracy isn’t meant to be the worlds standard I don’t know what is

O.P? Like Orchard Park where the Bills play?

You say this, but there is another key. Horses.

Horsss are not native to America, and were brought over by Europeans.

Without horses to allow people to work farms and other things easily, even this terrain wouldn't help because you could never advance hour civilization.

It's why the Native Americans were stuck in the way they were - no natuve beasts of burden for farming to free up people to specialize in other things.

America has OP terrain, but it required European animals transplanted into it, for that terrain to be utilized in the ways you describe.

Context: US Oil is crap oil and traded at a discount for a reason..

Meanwhile, Curiosity Stream is the last people on earth to understand how and why the Afghanistan War began. Hell, as far as Curiosity Stream is concerned, Islam is a so-called Religion of Peace.

The lessons that can be learned from it is simple. Don't totally misunderstand your enemy and why and what you are fighting for.

The true title of this garbage video is The Fantasy Based War in Afghanistan that the US government didn't even have a clue about and still doesn't have the first clue even to this day over 20 years later.

Well, what else do you loons expect? When you premise a war on the fantasy-based notion that Islam is somehow a so-called Religion of Peace, as opposed to a "cult of submission"that seeks world domination. A major strategic fiasco is what you inevitably end up with.

I mean, the outcome was preordained since even before that fantasy-based war was ever first launched based on a fantasy-based notion that somehow Islam is a so-called Religion of Peace. Yeah right. Give me a break.

Only a $2 trillion dollars. Yeah right! You really mean $10 trillion dollars, and the outcome of that incredibly fantasy-based war that was preordained to miserably fail no matter what was a total disgrace. As political correctness kept the truth from ever being divulged.

Down vote from me. Why? Because the last damn thing this video needed was a fantasy-based account of America's greatest major strategic blunder ever in history.

You left out the part that OBL and AQ were all financed by the oil rich Saudis. An unfortunate fact deliberately hidden from the American people. If no one believes me, then ask Vivek Ramaswamy. He'll gladly explain it for you.

Uhm...what difference did it make in the Middle East for the USA between the Sunni Saudis owning the oil production and the secular at the time Saddam Hussein owning the oil production? As both factions would have inevitably sold their oil to the West for profits?

It didn't make a bit of difference for the USA or the world at large as well. However, it did make a big difference for George W. Bush who was in bed with the Saudis. As he was the close friends and confidents of the Sunnis in Saudi Arabia. Thus, the USA invaded Iraq and stopped the secular Saddam Hussein.

Meanwhile, how did the Sunni Saudis show their thankfulness and appreciation to the USA for saving them? By engineering the 9/11 violent acts of jihad perpetrated in the cause of Allah to ultimately make Islam and its followers supreme throughout the world.

So how did GWB react to their violent act of jihad? By proclaiming that Islam to be a so-called " Religion of Peace" and then declaring a fantasy-based "War on Terror". Even though Muslims aren't terrorists, but jihadists instead fighting a holy war in the cause of Allah against all infidels to ultimately make Islam and its followers supreme.

Moreover, how did GWB's incredibly fantasy-based "War on Terror" finally end up? As the greatest major strategic blunder ever in American history.

USA is the GOAT! 🇺🇲 ❤

now make please China

Bullshit. Its all based on the type of government in place and levels of coruption. Russia should be the top dog but the reigning corruption
Puts a stop to that
