Anyone else watching "Geopolitical Economy Report" on YouTube?

I've watched several episodes and I find it enlightening.

For instance, I just watched "How the USA exploits Europe, treating it's 'allies' like vassals." Among other things, Ben Norton talked about the Nordstream pipeline that was blown up by the US or else by Ukraine operating with the US approval.

I remember hearing about that but didn't give it much thought.

What are your thoughts about Geopolitical Economy Report, my fellow Du'ers?

This is the first time I’ve heard that. As with anything, watch out for disinfo and propaganda.

Check out this headline: “How China & Russia help Global South countries defend against US imperialism: Nicaragua explains”

This channel reminds me of the China Update and others like it that have specific agendas. I generally don’t fully trust channels like that. They have nuggets of truth with heavy bias.
