  1. You will find a lot of normal working admin in those banks losing their jobs. And it will have come right out of the blue. They will have woken up one morning to find their jobs gone.

  2. Nothing out of the ordinary apart from a war and threats of gas being cut off.

  3. Nope. The volume of resources that would require shipping would be very high and the cost would go through the roof.

  4. If there is a global energy crash you will see real environmental damage then through war, coal mining and cheap rough industries pop up all over the world. The economics of the world will mean all out cultural failure and environmental destruction like you have never seen before.

  5. That does not make any sense at all. A late Boomers got jobs as well. A later Boomer would not be in their sixties. It does not matter there are always going to be people that are just useless.

  6. Ukraine has a smaller population and it has a bottle neck in how many men it can get to the battle field.

  7.  @iji6249  Your point is that Ukraine does not have numbers of fighting men in the battle because they all fled. Your point was not complicated. I countered it by saying that Ukraine has a smaller military and cannot get all their man trained to enter the battle. Hence why large numbers of Ukrainians are training in other countries.

  8. You are talking nonsense.

  10. OK then explain how they are going to build the fusion reactors at a powerplant level since you are calling the video nostradamus quality?

  13.  @theboss-wy4cn  The Quad is already in development so I have no idea what you are talking about.

  14.  @casualsuede  The Quad is already being developed and will take time to play out. If you read my original comment you will see that I said it will take development and for circumstances.

  15. Nope. US higher end chips have to be made in the US.

  16. Most American branded cars are made from NAFTA dominated manufacturing. There are special components then that make their ways into cars that come from certain companies.

  17.  @briandorsey6437  You think the Chinese who rule with an iron fist can over come centuries of bad blood in the middle east. Yes it is fantasy.

  18. Chinese solar manufacturing is like their steel industry in that it is state sponsored. The reason they have such high volumes and cheap prices of solar panels is because the state has backed that sector directly. The main reason they have done this is because western culture has given them the impression that they were all in on it.

  19. That does not make any sense.

  20.  @tonywilson4713  American won the war in Vietnam and Afghanistan. It never lost one battle in those places. Technically those were not wars by US standards and were just operations. It is not in Russia's interest to even attempt to take on the US anywhere in the world.

  21.  @tonywilson4713  America lost 50000 troops in Vietnam and killed 2.5 million Vietcong. The US did not lose one battle and got the Vietcong to surrender. It was the US congress that decided to pull out of Vietnam even thought he war was won. Just as the US pulled out of Afghanistan. Pulling out of somewhere is not the same as losing just as the US pulled out of Iraq. Are you going to claim the US lost in Iraq as well?

  22. Those solutions I am afraid are pure nonsense. They are something a politician would come up with hence why they have started to use the term flatten the curve. Wonder where we heard that before.

  23.  @ricardomartins286  Germany has no energy to sustain it self at an industrial level, Italy, Spain and France have youth unemployment rates in excess of 20%. The Euro is performing against the dollar the exact same way sterling has. I just no buying the whole EU is doing better. Peter in the video is not even saying that Britain in the EU is better off he is saying that Britain is rudderless as a society in regards as to what it does next. I suspect he simply not that focused on British and EU relationship as both places are going to lag behind the US. The Last time labour was in power it left the UK with an unemployment crisis so unless they are willing to change its policies they will only do worse.

  24. That is pure bull dirt.

  25. So tell us how you think countries are going to help China?

  26.  @franciscobermejo1779  The reality is that the US could cut those countries off if it wanted to not that it nessarily would but it could.

  27. Russia is going to need a lot of nuclear weapons' and be able to get them delivered across the atlantic and Bering sea to be able to take out the whole of the US. It will only take one nuclear weapon to hit the US for it to send back 100 times more fire power in the opposite direction.

  28. The information is out there when it comes to infections and their impacts.

  29.  @thomasherrin6798  What do you mean Ireland is a boom and bust economy?

  30. Abrams tanks are designed to operate as part of wider systems approach to including targeting and comms data. Does that make sense?

  31. Global supply chain restrictions started it all and now it has taken on a life of its own.

  32. You are showing that you have a bias by not being interested in Bush. How else are we to understand the current world if we do not at least compare it to previous. Clinton, Bush and Reagan all appear like a genius compared to the current political culture.

  33.  @ivancho5854  If the west got all that money it puts into renewables and used it to develop industry for solutions to fit existing plants they could massively lower carbon emissions world wide. At first it would not be a drastic cut but over decades it would have a significant impact. The truth is they are just not that interested in lowering carbon and are using it for political power in the west.

  34. You are living in a fantasy if you think Ukraine is going to be able to export wheat.

  35. Organized crime would just try and make them cheaper and probably a lot more dangerous.

  36. US is not an export economy.

  37. So do you prefer more welfare like free healthcare, student loan forgiveness or do you prefer no government healthcare, no government college funding. Which option do you like the most.

  38. Fusion is a fantasy and is not going to have any impact on the world in the next 20 years.

  39. America has the perfect mix of culture, politics and natural geography.

  40. Was it genuinely sabotaged or was it just an excuse for shutdowns.

  41. Hybrid is a bit of a myth as well. It is not better for the environment than ICE. Some people like the way hybrid and all electric drive but that is a style and personal usage. Tesla can be a massive market success and may even help to push electric cars along but that does not mean such concepts can be decreed from the top down by policy.

  42.  @danpoynton  Again you are like others not listening to what he is actually saying. He is saying there is no evidence that it is an engineered virus. Most people that blaming China are not stating that it is an engineered virus. A perfectly natural zoological virus can escape from labs but we do not have any proof of this being the case even though many of us are convinced that is what may have happened. Again people need to listen to what he is actually saying and not imagining what he is saying. If somebody wants to state from a position of authority that it is an engineered virus they need to provide proof and not opinions.

  43. Russia does not need to be defeat just held out until a point that they decide to partially or fully retreat.

  44. Southern economies are booming and already have large scale manufacturing.

  45.  @waynesworldofsci-tech  Numbers? What numbers are you talking about. You surely cannot be using the official numbers of a super corrupt culture can you?

  46.  @solidoperative  Spoken like a true fan boy. Germany is not going to be producing cars at previous prices and will face the same problem the UK auto industry faced. You can fantasize about how great german cars are and boast about how they are better than Ford.

  47. A lot of those places do not project power Argentina may offer support but that is it. There is very little trade between the regions.

  48.  @HailAzathoth  Oh yes it does.

  49. Britain is not part of European Mainland hence why he has not really covered it. His focus is on continental Europe.

  50. It would take 60 years to build a microchip industry like the US has. It is not something that can easily be planned.
