Thanks for sharing the link. Unfortunately, I disagree with a great deal of what was discussed. A great deal of current and historical reality was omitted or twisted to fit POVs. For example, there was complete disregard for the actual power holders within the Outlaw US Empire--the Neoliberals/Money Power. Nor was there any inkling or discussion of what Trump's proposed economic plan will do to the nation. IMO, all the blind spots exhibited by all three young men are the result of their lack of experience and shallowness of understanding. Another example: the danger to Russia if Trump takes Canada and Greenland. The Outlaw US Empire has zero Arctic assets and Canada has just a tad more than nothing. Neither has any base on the Arctic Ocean. And with what military means are these conquests going to be made? And what means will be used to occupy Canada? Etc. Taking Mexico is an even worse notion. And Panama wasn't invaded as one of them stated; it was raided and Noreiga kidnapped, not invaded and occupied. And of course, those are all wars that the Empire's citizens don't want. The nihilism as proposed IMO doesn't exist.
I expect Trump to continue the longstanding US strategy towards Eurasia. Raising tariffs will rapidly increase inflation and thus interest rates will rise, and bond holders will revolt. the bottom 80% of Americans are mired in recession and a new record for homelessness was just announced. Trump's economic plan will exacerbate that, and all his rhetoric about combatting China won't mean anything to the millions that are financially stressed. Recall that first and foremost Trump is of the Rentier Class and is very poorly educated about most things that matter. Look at the division that already exists between him and top advisor Musk--Trump wants to deport and halt immigration while Musk wants increases in H1B Visas. I see one fiasco replacing another fiasco that intends to keep digging the hole deeper and midterms in 2026 again changing the balance.
i can't think of a more obvious example of paying for a seat at the ''dumbocratic'' table, as this is with musk spending . 2 bil to get the chair... wow... and not a word from these narrative control freaks about democracy and freedom in action, lol...
Musk has nothing to do with anything. Trump could drop him in a second with zero impact apart from MSM Neoliberal Democrat handwaving.
RE "not a word from these narrative control freaks about democracy and freedom in action"
Yes there is, they are the one's spruking the propaganda memes Karl says are asking if Musk is actually the President. Which is of course ridiculous at face value. Obviously, an intentional lie to shit stir, nothing more. But it gets repeated anyway by those who still believe in such MSM trash talk as it might match their own beliefs about Trump etc. What else needs to be said than it is unimportant and does not matter to anything?
"A great deal of current and historical reality was omitted or twisted to fit POVs (and Blind Spots.) "
This is the norm everywhere. Across all sides. Sharing one's own POV and saying why they see it that way is called having "Discussions:101". Everyone's POV is flawed, and everyone has their Blind Spots and Biases irrespective of what the actual facts and reality on the ground might be.

how long before the musk-trump divorce? lol..
Some publications have asked if he's actually president. Musk talks about Zelensky's corruption, yet he clearly bribed his way onto Trump's team.

No exceptions.
