All investments are risky and masterworks are betting on the consistency of the art market, choose your investments wisely and prosper

​@@nataliamundell6266 yeah! going for always useless is a bet ...i feel i'd pass on.

@@nataliamundell6266 No, there is a differing level of risk...there are low risk investments like bank bonds, state obligations etc, there are very stable stocks in companies that are not behaving risky, there are investments portfolios that are safety geared etc. Masterworks is way to young 🌱, promising too much and has yet to deliver...their numbers are for a select few cases that is far from their average. Masterworks is most probably not a safe investment, I would NOT encourage anyone putting more than 5-10% of their savings in there! And even less if you have above 100K in savings.

Maybe SLIGHTLY less risky than NFTs.

@nataliemundell6266 That's like saying all drinks are equally unhealthy because they all contain calories. But fact of the matter is, the ones with more calories are unhealthier. Much the same goes for investments. If you invest in an S&P 500 index fund, you'll be safer than if you invest in one S&P 500 company. And if you invest in one S&P 500 company you'll have less risk than if you invested in one random, still private, stock. There's no changing that all investments contain risk. But some investments are m u c h less risky than others - and as such, safer and more sustainable...

Almost everything is more than just a collection of atoms

​@@AdrianBoykoyeah lol how is this a "deep" phrase

There is something frustrating about having to explain it that way. I suppose I realize many children fresh out of school are not exposed to geopolitical reality but have been exposed to chemistry. But it feels like, since actual wars are fought extremely destructively over much less, it feels important to suggest that very strong language should be used to encourage the audience to consider that both sides of this conflict are *in fear of starvation by dehydration*, and that while *normally* it would be very unusual to say anything good about the Taliban, the concept that both Iran and Afghanistan are simply put in desperate, desperate suffering.....should provoke at least some sympathy for their unenviable position so devoid of privileges that we may be taking for granted. And any regime to come before or after the Taliban would still have this issue of water giving them great worries. We don't usually like either of these countries but water is so frighteningly basic in how essential it is that even if these two countries do great crimes to themselves and each other and their people..... We should force people to understand aggressively than geography has, firstly, made them very desperate. And it is not necessarily certain that Westerners would be able to be civilized if you took away their green grasses and gave them deserts and rock caves instead. That's not to say that, for example, Nevada and Mexico are incapable of being civilized. Other desert biomes are apparently able to be peaceful. But it must still be reinforced with appropriate pressure that it is actually difficult. The desert is where we built our nukes. It is not very difficult to find the mood to become very violent in the desert because it's genuinely a hard place to live that will not easily let the soft survive. It would be most wise to pity them and ask before any other questions, "can we at least find more water for all of them?" And then all other issues about judging them may come up fairly in reasonable turn. Being too clinical and academic I believe fails to drive home the point that these people are people and live in fear and poverty and lack basic needs to an unusual extent. They do not even possess Egypt's Nile River and if they have any access to oil, they are no Saudi Arabia. They do not enjoy the Mediterranean Sea like Algeria does. Nor are they East enough to enjoy the Ganges or the Yangtze. They are in short totally unlucky. They are sad and poor and it should be easy to really pity that. I think it warrants some feeling put into it.

@@AdrianBoyko No kidding. Maybe if you considered this channel is about Geopolitical realities and, in the context of that, Caspian Report was trying to emphasize it's import.

@@darthparallax5207 Understand the point being made.He's NOT explaining H2O that way. Really...ask yourself why that was your takeaway. A part of Economics 101 is that Scarcity is a fundamental problem of our world. If you control a scarce resource, you have power...better now?

I think leaving all that gear behind was a brilliant strategic move by the USA.

The Mauryans and Seljuks didn't start in modern Afghanistan. Don't comment if you don't know shit. Embarrassment.

It’s because tribalism and racism. If they United on islam then it would be fixed. Secularism basically destroyed the Middle East

Afghanistan also has some of the richest metals that haven’t been mined yet. I swear, the next time a YT video says a country in conflict has vast wealth “underneath its surface” I’m gonna spam their comment section. :D

Yeh but that was back when sword and spear armed guys with big balls constituted armies. These days… it’s missiles and machines that these illiterate Islamists can’t make or even maintain

The region of Afghanistan was prosperous in ancient times due to Tin (vital in bronze) and Lapus (for blue dye and mosaics) as well as being on the Silk road. Arguably it offers very little else. I know it was refered to as "the land of 1000 golden cities" (Bactria) in Alexander's time growing prosperous off the tolls from trade. Unfortunately after the mongol invasion the region's population, agriculture(khariz system), and wildlife were purposefully destroyed and never recovered as the Late medieval period saw Europe looking west for trade in the new world and colonies. I've heard there is lithium and other minerals/resources in vast quantities but most area's are quite inaccessible even without the hostile factions and warlords. Maybe they will achieve stability and investment can begin but that's 20-30 years away.

I guess you haven’t been following oil prices recently.

Bullshit, Japan stopped buying oil after 2018. And following the non-payment of oil purchased from Iran before 2018 by Japan under the pretext of sanctions, Iran does not want to sell oil to Japan. Also, according to the Bloomberg report, Iran's oil sales have now returned to the equivalent before 2018.

That’s interesting in the light of OPEC/OPEC+ cut in production. Might help Iran in the short term but I don’t think the cut is sustainable due to the effect of global recession

Bush, in direct response to the September 11 attacks, but which was again based on the indictment for the 1998 embassy attack. Bin Laden was among a group of thirteen fugitive terrorists wanted on that latter list for questioning about the 1998 embassy bombings. Bin Laden remains the only fugitive ever to be listed on both FBI fugitive lists. Despite the multiple indictments listed above and multiple requests, the Taliban refused to extradite Osama bin Laden. However, they did offer to try him before an Islamic court if evidence of Osama bin Laden's involvement in the September 11 attacks was provided. It was not until eight days after the bombing of Afghanistan began in October 2001 that the Taliban finally did offer to turn over Osama bin Laden to a third-party country for trial in return for the United States ending the bombing. This offer was rejected by President Bush stating that this was no longer negotiable, with Bush responding "there's no need to discuss innocence or guilt. We know he's guilty."

"new Afghan government" lol don't give the Taliban legitimacy

This channel has become nothing but fear mongering. Disappointing.

The region is unstable. Although previously meddling may have been in part honestly motivated by a desire to help, it is abundantly clear that the efforts were sufficiently mismanaged that offense was given and outside assistance is at least treated with caution and suspicion and is not exactly invited at all anymore. Whatever the next eras of relations in the region entail, it would be terribly embarrassing if the next attempt was also a failure, so I wish the best of luck and success to the ambitions of whoever is next. If they gain the approval of the Iranians and the Afghanis I could see why they might not care what outsiders think. I simply find it doubtful that the Taliban is going to make more new friends than they make new enemies so sufficient political support is very unlikely to be their long term stable future.

Pakistan should stop terrorism

@@ericjohnson7234 The Soviets were doing it, before America entered the picture and armed the rebels. By contrast the Americans lost without any great power intervention.

@@ArawnOfAnnwn Obviously, because Americans didn’t want to be there. They are nation that was willing to sacrifice one million of Americans to covid just to get a haircut. While they left Afghanistan with losing 2 thousand soldiers in 2 decades. With such casualties, they could be there for 2 centuries without even feeling it. I mean, those are Russian casualties in Ukraine over one week. If they actually wanted Afghanistan, they could remain there. Their soldiers were still safer there than US police in some of American cities.

​@@stafer3 The Soviets had comparable casualties in Afghanistan too, until the US entered the picture. They're not just fighting Ukraine in Ukraine. You fought the Taliban alone, and still lost. If Russia or China had decided to back them, it would've been far worse. You already experienced that in Vietnam and Korea, retreating both times. With its low losses America still backed down, now scale those losses up to account for a great power conflict. The US shies away from those, even in Ukraine. Russia usually does too, but China didn't. Be careful you don't forget the old rule that has kept things stable for generations now - discretion is the better part of valor. Both nations have shown themselves far more willing to tough it out than America has. You lost Afghanistan - take the L and walk.

@@ArawnOfAnnwn Like seriously, have you looked at the map? Do you understand how silly it sounds when you compare you struggling 70km from your own borders, while they managed to occupy the place for 20 years no problem, in mountainous land-lock country on the opposite side of the world?

They think they can keep doing this and their much larger neighbors aren’t going to at some point respond decisively

I second that sentiment.

The USA, or ex/neo-colonialists, does nothing in an uncalculated way. Drawing of the borders, supporting one group vs another group, 'forgetting' weapons left behind that will help stoke more conflict, sanctions, coups etc. are all calculated moves to make sure that others are busy with each other while the USA and the other ex/neo-colonialists profit from it.
