What if Napoleon essentially bypass Waterloo and Leipzig and maintain the continents blockade over Britain, starving them out and growing his own hold over the continent. Maybe the war of the sixth coalition doesn't start AT ALL.... how could this have happened and what would've been the effects.

95 DEGREE IN GREATER INDIANAPOLIS. HAVE WE GONE MAD??

After struggling through first semester of junior year AP Bio without any youtubers and only textbooks (and doing subpar on each test), i figured out I need youtubers who could help explain the concepts to me with examples. Though I did find one for AP Bio last year (apbiopenguins is the goat btw), I can't find any modernish ones for AP Physics C mech, and the textbook I have ( Physics for Scientists and Engineers 10e) is so painfully unreadable/ difficult to grasp. Are there any youtubers, or atleast easier fcking textbooks, to use?

I last played victoria in like 2023/24 and it was vicky 2 (cos my pc was too ass to play vicky 3 well). but now i want to play vicky 3 and china has a lot of ppl for industry. How do i play it without the crumpet clique fucking me over?

Looking at the disastrous war Trump waged on Iran with the help of Israel, I couldn't help but think 'this is all because of oil, isn't it?'

I mean we're majorly concerned with Iranian nuclear ambitions because the can control global oil supply through threatening the Gulf states. If oil didn't exist, or wasnt as important to global energy supply, Iran wouldn't need a nuclear weapon, because they won't be able to inflict harm on the world's energy and hence wouldn't need to be attacked.

This is closer to the future: Oil runs out, some analysts say, by the 2050s and the Gulf states know tht and have been mercilessly trying to diversify. I believe all of the sport washing and diversifying would be useless.

During the war, Iran attacked , or bombed, an Amazon data center in, I believe, Saudi Arabia . That already signals to outside powers, and their investors, that Gulf States aren't secure enough to park their money and manufacturing sites in, due to the possibility of rogue Iran bombing the shit outta them.

Secondly, with the decaying relevance of oil, and possible economic problems that come with it, people in Gulf and Arab states would question the nature of their government and there would be widespread civil unrest. That could also scare away outside investors, because they don't want their dead carcasses being dragged through the streets of Doha or Riyadh.

Thirdly(?), climate change would slowly render most of the Middle East more uninhabitable than what it is now. Right now , it's partly mitigated by the near endless oil supply for stuff like air conditioning. But without the oil, there's a lot of potential for a huge humanitarian crisis that, I think, would happen. You wouldn't park your money in a rump state would you?

Also, I failed to mention the human rights abuses across middle eastern countries wouldn't make it reputationally beneficial to investors to invest.

Contrast this with Africa:

Relatively low average age and a shitload of people show most African countries have massive manufacturing potential that, if invested in, would be more profitable than just propping up rentier states. Some african states already manufacture some products already.

Unlike most, if not all, of the middle east, Climate change wouldn't absolutely atrophy most African states. Most are substantially below the equator and wouldn't be as much affected by climate change.

This is why the US is spending upwards of 200 million building new embassies in Nigeria, or China is building up African states' infrastructure to have a stake in their growth.
