If Indonesia is smart they will study how Turkey balances competing sides, if Turkey is smart it will study how Indonesia runs its economy.
About the Indonesia proverbs... "Rice has turned into porridge" means something important has happened and it's irreversible. "There's prawn hiding behind rock" means there's ulterior motive behind sweet words and gifts "Tigers die because of their stripes" I actually haven't heard of this one. The closest one I think is "when elephant dies, it leaves tusk, when tiger dies, it leaves stripes", which means when one leaves, retires, or passes away, they would be remembered by their past achievements.
As an Indonesian I admit that I’ve been worried about this for a while. I just hope we won’t engage in any war, because it’s not worth it.
I support my siblings in Indonesia.... mabuhay Philippines
a commentary about Indonesia sprinkled with Indonesian proverbs, a surefire way to attract Indonesian like me
We indonesians have this belief system saying "having 1000 friends is too few, having one enemy is too many" and it's taught almost in every household in indonesia 🇮🇩 I guess it's well represented in our foreign affairs strategy.
Aussie here. As a traveller and many years ago ADF reserve, theres no ill will towards Indonesia. Love my indo mates and cant wait to get back there for my next visit. Wonderful people with a great sense of humour. Im actually embarrassed by the way my own countrymen act in Bali, so I steer clear of Bali.
Indonesia will never take sides because the basis of politics in Indonesia is free and active politics
Damn, Indonesia is in the position to play kingmaker and make tons of money right now, hopefully they take advantage of it and don't squander this once in a century opportunity
Sebagai Bule tinggal di Indonesia aku senang dengan penjelaskanmu tentang sejarah dan politik modern. Sebelum Aku Pindah ke Indonesia aku melayan di tentara AS. Masalah terbasar untuk orang di sini dengan AS termasuk perang antara Israel/Palestina. Orang di sini boikot produk AS karena, “tidak mau dukung Israel”. Pemerintah kami harus berhati hati dengan langkah2 Kami di masa depan
thats the danish flag not the dutch 4:28
Indonesia Natural. Independent and active. That why we continue grow our strength. To bring balance in region. Respect neighbour and other countries..

Ive been to many westerner youtubers and i gotta say you are surprisingly accurate. Not 100 percent but close enough. Indonesian here.
Indonesia, do not be like us in the Philippines, still in the claws of USA. Indonesia has a good economy I know they can be independent of USA.
