Djibouti is a tiny country with no resources except for one: its location. China, the United States, and France are just 3 of the powers vying for access to the vital choke point Djibouti borders.

I Deep Faked Myself, Here's Why It Matters
Thanks for the history lesson with no dates or years...
Of course a country where everything comes together that’s vital and volatile will have a unique name…
The region has been unstable because of foreign powers, ever since colonial times. Colonization never ended, it's just taken a different form.
Djibouti is tight.
Djibouti’s position and situation reminds me of Sri Lanka.
As we speak, Yemen is rapidly sliding down the Red Sea with Somali pirates into Djibouti!
Can you please stop making the background noise just beeping sounds?? Its actually so irritating trying to listen to the info with the unnecessary beeping in the background.
Literally over 2 full minutes of background beeping from like 9:45 to nearly 12:00
I find it surprising that hamas attacked Israel just at the moment when Netaniyahu was on the worst time of his political career. People were protesting against him for months. All on a sudden, after the hamas attack, he is behaving like the saviour of Israeli people.
The US government is a two party corporate duopoly system of government.
Great documentary 🎉
Real Life Lore made a good video about this: ua-cam.com/video/1S3PhfNHclU/v-deo.html
“There’s a lot going on in Djibouti” That’s personal, Johnny.
Hey Johnny why don’t you do a video about Somaliland as your next project
Watch Djibouti and China connect with Ethiopia. ( Libya )
Nice, another Mossad episode. Let’s gooo!
Stop with these clickbaity titles, they're just annoying. This country is very well known for its land hosting many world militaries. Reminds me of your video about the war in Bosnia and Herzegovina, like it is a known thing that many people have indeed been informed about at least a bit. And while I technically haven't "learned" about the war in BiH, I live in a country thst actively participated in the war. Journalists will do anything to get clicks these days...
"a french company miraculously created the suez Canal....." hmmmm kinda biased. i would call them slaves.
i often forget that in America, you aren't just defending freedom, you are actually defending flow of the free market
Not from RealLifeLore😂
In the end, it won't help the western nations. The west is in serious decline.
I like men
Putin wants to divide the country… sounds familiar… God he must LOVE how much the US hates itself right now.
Djibouti will collapse soon due to its undemocratic and corrupt government, their country will be history and all those military bases you saw will depart, however the only place they will be departing to is an important unrecognized country which share borders with it, Somaliland. Its the complete opposite of Djibouti and had 5 fair democratic elections where presidents peacefully gave up power. The US military already visited the port of Berbera which will be a soon the replacement for Djibouti, also the UAE after leaving there they moved to Berbera Somaliland where they invested 800 Million USD in its port through its company DP World, also the UK investment fund invested 400 million USD in 10 years, Djibouti wont monopolize Ethiopia’s import export anymore as Somaliland had a historical MOU with Ethiopia this January to use its port. I agree with you the world is changing in a fast pace that we cant keep up!
Lucky for China, majority of Americans don't have a mind anyways so I influencing them is not really a requirement.
Johnny, r u working for the CIA or any other intelligence service agency? Just wondering..😅
Everyone in Africa knows Djibouti. Just say people in the west have never heard of it just like they think Africa is a country, lol.
"Prosperity to all of us"...are you whacked, dude? You're beginning to piss me off, Johnny.
Actually i heard about Djibouti because im Iranian and the current regime of Ayatollahs sent this country a few million dollars to build some government buildings there
LAIR THIS ENTIRE VIDEO IS WRONG (im like 3 seconds in) I KNOW EXACTLY WHAT DJIBOUTI IS AND IM AN AMERICAN 😭
The video is made unreasonably long
A couple minutes into this video I realized the last video didn't have Maps
After WW2, Germany was divided into four occupied zones: Great Britain in the northwest, France in the southwest, the United States in the south and the Soviet Union in the east. Palestinians had aligned with Nazi Germany during WW2 and suffered the same rezoning under Britain's rule, having lost the war.
Netanyahu is a war criminal just like Slobodan Milosevic was. For people who had atrocities committed against them all over the world, the Israelis are now vindicating those who perpetrated those crimes by subjecting the Palestinians to untold suffering.
Think it would have been cool to mention while the Suez canal opening was significant for global trade there's actually been two previous periods in ancient history where such a canal existed connecting the Mediterranean and Red Seas. In the 6th and 13th Centuries BC
I'm a huge fan of this channel. But that isn't how you write "The gate of of tear" in Amharic "Ethiopian language"
Anti china bias very apparent.
Because of you jhonny my english speaking improved and my grades in english is much better
Although one of the most important countries, it is also one of the poorest. Sadly, there is a lot of potential being wasted. Nonetheless, I still love my country.
You gotta make a video about Ethiopia
U missed why Rogan started a podcast. It was cause of Tom Green and what he was doing.
That statement "we will not hesitate to defend the free flow of commerce" But happy to allow the free flow of aid to be compromised. Why dont you just airdrop the cargo of the ships or built a pier somehere 🤷🏻♂️
My dad was a helmsman in the US Navy on a supply ship - I think her name was the Detroit? Regardless, he stopped in Djibouti once or twice.
😂😂😂😂
Is this similar to what blitzkrieg is? I feel like I remember blitzkrieg being described to me as sending a shit load of refugees at a country to weaken it.
I learned about Djibouti and the jokes from Geography Now. Thanks Barb. 👍
Didn't the German troops leave a few years ago?
In case no one has said it yet ... spank Djibouti 😅😅
