Do Other Countries Have This Many Assassinations? 

You forgot about Teddy Roosevelt, who was also shot, and famously he finished his speech after being shot instead of going straight to the hospital.

Unfortunately Garfield did get shot on a Monday. However he did have a nice lasagna as his last meal.

Kinda weird map. Colombia has one of the highest rate of political assassinations

didnt the dutch eat their prime minister once?

To be fair, we are comparing nations centuries old to ones decades old.

Fun fact about Spencer Percival (I used to work in for an MP and did tours of Westminster Palace for guests): After he was shot, onlookers recalled him as having said "I have been shot and I am dying!". The doorkeepers still quip to this day that this is the only time an MP has told the truth in Parliament.

Does he even have a first channel?

Bush did survive an attempt in Tbilisi Georgia, wherein someone tried throwing a grenade at him… he also had a shoe thrown at him once…

India also had 2 assassinations, Indira Gandhi in '84 and Rajiv Gandhi in '91

map is a bit dodgy. it doesn't show any timeline and it doesn't show what assassination entails. assassination of a head of state, assassination of a politician or assassination of a important figure? it doesn't say.

"This is perhaps the most famous" Julius Caesar: am I a joke to you?

1:48 nah it was centimeters away, probably just a centimeter away from it being a completely different situation

Sri lanka had more than 1 assassination. 1 president and 1 prime minister( when prime minister is the head of state before 1978)

1:13 He had an AR-15.

Brazil had a assaination attemp on Bolsanaro , he was stabbed right ? I remember that news clearly

Ain't no way Reagan's assassin has a RU-vid channel 💀

Not a fan of ibx2cat's anti-assassin propaganda smh

Mexico had 36 last month , for their presidential run not so , crazyyy

Never thought I’d see ibxtoycat doing assassination review 💀

It's not just that people in the US "don't believe" a third party can't win. The system we use to elect a president makes it nearly mathematically impossible for a third party candidate to win. The only way it could be possible is if every person who wanted to vote third party did, there was only one third party candidate, and said third party candidate was popular among both democrats and republicans. Even if that all happened, they would still need to win a plurality of the vote in enough states to get 270 electoral votes. Also I feel like it's fair enough to say a guy who said he'll "be a dictator on day one" wants to be a dictator. Even if it's hyperbole, it's a horrible thing for a president to say.

Really? Garfield jokes ? Too soon

You're picking lighthearted, nonpolitical topics I see.

I love the description so much "Do other countries have this many assassinations?" no

Toycat, if it's worth laying to rest millions of people in a war for a just cause, don't you think it might be the same for just one person if it will have significant positive impact? Whatever, you're probably right, the winner barely matters. If you run for president I'll vote for you, Toycat is yes. Unless Mr. Beast runs, then ehhh sorry brit boy gotta represent.

I love how I reloaded my suggested page and this was just chilling there uploaded 2 minutes ago

The Netherlands also had an political assassination

In Australia we just had a PM disappear in office

In the map what is that diamond shaped country between south sudan and ethiopia?

Chile None? Salvador Allende?

0:42 wtf is that diamond on the border of Ethiopia and South Sudan and why does it have 2 or more assassinations

Spoon

Spork

That map is only going to get redder

Here's a topic for future video episode: does the earth really have an "up"? Is north somehow up while south is down? Who says so? How did that happen?

5:01 Jackson and the two Roosevelts, and Bush Sr.

Fork

Shinzo Abe was definitely talking to him

There has been 4 political murders in Finland but if we'ere counting the heads of state then 1 or none depending on how you look at it. The Governor-General Nikolai Bobrikov was assasinated in 1904. The Governor-General was the head of the senate and the chief of staff of the autonomous Grand Duchy of Finland under Russia so technically he is the head of state of Finland under the Tzar of Russia who he answeres to.

although no assasination in Canada, In Québec alone there was 2 assasination attempts on Quebec prime ministers (Pauline Marois in 2010s and Rene lévesque in 1970s, not including minister kidnapping and assasination under the FLQ) both of these prime ministers were in favour of quebec independence and was a partial motive behind the assasination attempts

He didn’t donate to progressive victory, that was an old dude with his name

Idk about the situation but how the heck Denmark have red colour and Greenland doesn't? That's confusing me way too much.

That map is missing preemptive ones though. For example, in the Netherlands Pim Fortuyn in 2002 was doing really well in the elections and likely to win. He was however extremely controversial, and dealt with by someone.

love the thumbnail

Its just seems so 20th century. Its like something from history before the Berlin wall came down. Things like that arnt meant to happen now.

Wasn’t there an attempt on Andrew Jackson as well?

Teddy Roosevelt

knife

There has never been a coup in the history of india so idk why india is red instead of magenta, coz there have been multiple asassinations

Olof palme a former Swedish primeminister was assassinated in 1986. Anna lindh swedish former Minister of Foreign Affairs got assassinated in 2003. So yeah it happens, it shouldn't happen at all

the nehterlands non?

Did you know that Jodie Foster was actually twelve years old in the movie Taxi Driver

13:10 Ok but Trump's team does want to use the courts to give the president unprecented power though. The whole president is immune for official acts thing is huge in that respect

Alright, but what famous assassination was inspired by a love of The Catcher In The Rye?

Morocco had 2 assasinations

What odds did you get? I got trump at $8 odds a while back

Wtf is the diamond shaped country in africa?

What about Andrew Jackson? He nearly killed his own would be assassin. IDK why Wiki does not talk about it as it is a crazy story with the president being 66 years old at the time and again beating his assassin with in an inch of his life. Also Americans will use centimeters and millimeters to emphasize a small unit. We use it because we know is that they are smaller than inches, most American in elementary school had a 12 inch ruler with centimeters on the other side so most of us know they exist and that they are smaller than inches through that,

I'd guess it is pretty much tied to a heavily polarized society, mental health issues of modern society and omnipresent gun ownership. Now onwards to watch this video and see what the Cat has to say on this topic.

Yes

Hello Ibx can you make a video on the Confederation of Sahel States. Thank you ❤

India had 2 assassinations not just 1

both sides yaaaaa

Hi chat 😊

in australia we have two party elections 😔at least with us they aren't both right wing, we've got a choice of centre-left and centre-right, aka more voice but it still sucks. I'll be voting a third party though

Hello brother, as a fellow brazilian I really want to know where you took your info from. First, it is very uncommon for referees to be targeted outside football fields, literally 0 have been killed in the last 15 years. Secondly, in 2018 bolsonaro got stabbed by a left-wing partizan during a rally in front of thousands, it was widely recorded and widespread. So, as per usual, lots of wrong/misinformation about South American countries.

The U.S. also uses centimeters

Commentary

That map is utterly wrong. Why watch a video when the basic information is incorrect?

Great politics video, a good time to be doing regularly politics videos!! But wow what a HORRIFICALLY BAD MAP… like this is so bad it could be on the account ‘terrible maps’. Perhaps in a later video I haven’t watched yet you address this, but I doubt it

There's been a history of outlandish rhetoric during America presidential campaigns, starting off with our first election after Washington with Adams and Jefferson. In modern terms though, it def seemed to have picked up with Trump during the 2016 campaign, the change in how candidates act compared to even 2012 was wild. Imo this is coming back around to him based on all his pretty frequently extreme exaggeration and fearmongering, things like Jan 6 happening, saying there was mass fraud during the 2020 election and trying to overturn it, etc.

I hate trump.p but this list is a little unfair. US is the oldest democracy on earth and technology, particularly in firearms and the wealth to own a single firearm, is skewed towards the US

and the us still refuses to vote for a third party

Does not mark JFK as a coup. Further opinion disregarded.

2nd channel don’t care…oh wait ur 1st channel is dead

The Republican options other than Trump are Ron DeSantis and Nicki Haley, so this could've been really bad

I am the 911th like, hell yeah

Listening to foreigners try to talk about guns is so cringe I'm sorry brother I love you but your gun knowledge is at rock bottom and it's hard to listen to. :[

13:40 The problem with saying that it's not the case that people will get hurt if a certain person is chosen as President ignores a lot of people who _have_ gotten hurt _directly_ because of who the person in charge was. I don't think I need to say the thing that hurt literal millions more people in 2020 than it should've because of a lacklustre reaction by the people in charge. I don't think I need to point out how many more women and girls have died since SCOTUS undid a certain ruling such that we now need to make sure the previous ruling is enshrined into law. I don't think I need to point out the minorities who certain candidates want to encourage hurt towards, particularly in 2025, if they manage to win. Who the President is, at least with certain current options, does _directly_ impact the safety of literally millions of people. Now I just have to hope I worded this comment tamely enough for the RU-vid automod to not come down on it 🫠

One thing that is incredibly different between this time and the other examples you've used, is that the President of the US now has full immunity from even being investigated, for anything he can claim is "within his official duties" which, when you're president, you can make the argument that basically everything he can do that would be bad, can fall within those, as they are not defined at all in the courts ruling. Originally, the president wasn't meant to be above the law, but this ruling has completely thrown that out, and basically is a big middle finger to the rest of the constitution. You also have to note that there's an ammendment that says people who have taken part in insurrection can't hold office, yet Trump is no longer able to be investigated for that, because he and his lawyers know they would lose that, so they had to beg for the Supreme Courts decision to be in their favour in order to even be able to hold office again. Your line of "they didn't end the country because they didn't realize they could" has to be an old way of looking at the US. Because this ruling now actually allows them to completely ruin it. It's absolutely insane that this ruling came from a "conservative" and "textualist" court, when it is anything but.
