  1. Dictators have that affect. I.e.Castro, Chavez, Kim Jong (ad infinitum)

  3. Wondering if Russia sells any defense technology and/or weapons to any other country ??

  4. Not sure how you can make so many assertions regarding another country without referring to any charts, documents or references of any sort. ... I hope you are a better economist than a vlogger..

  5. Due tell, since you are so learned and so informed, how bad is their infrastructure???

  6. Can NOT tell you how much I love listening to your videos which have absolutely NO substantiation with facts or anything of the sort.

  7. Your calcuation(s) are NOT taking into account what went on after the "geopolitical " event began ?? How are they running all of their retail stores, fast food and beverage companies, along with supermarkets. They have their own manufacturing, processing plants NOT TO MENTION their own petroleum refiners. But you didn't mention any of that did you?

  8. We are taking more than our share of huddled masses here in this Country, however, it is definitely NOT helping OUR GDP here.

  9. How do you honestly know whether or not Russian companies aren't buying Russian bonds ?
    2
  10. How would you "see" Russian citizens buying durable goods? Like cars, appliances or business equipment / businesses to manufacture anything to continue their community and society since the geo-political conflict.. You're NOT citing any references. You are making assertions without ANY substantiation ..

  11. What do Russia do with the gold and silver AND rare earth metals that they mine ??

  12.  @EconLessons  and back their currency with real money.

  13. How are you equating illnesses and viruses to GDP ???
    2
  14.  @crissdizick9403  I am certain that the number of people who have left Russia is indeed very high. I am sure they have their share of Bill Clinton's over their too. But the possibility of 2M people leaving ?

  15. So, how do blankets and propaganda equate to each other ?

  16. @EconLessons  Any of their regional banks collapse ?

  17.  @EconLessons  who has been buying our bonds ?
    1
  18. What kind of interest is being paid to the people who put their Rubles in the bank ?

  19. @EconLessons  you seem to make quite a few opinionated videos lacking any real proof or verification.

  20. Actually, considering HOW poor our Country is doing with OUR GDP, the only thing we do export is propaganda, however, just like everything else, we probably don't do it as well as other countries and probably the only ones getting paid for it are the corrupt Congress...

  21. Was Russia the one carrying Americans up to the Space Station after we canceled our Space Shuttle program ??
    1
  22.  @lukeamato423  Why? In actuality, all of the companies that the small and medium sized companies took over when American companies like McD's and Coke, etc left Russia, took over and are running companies, bottling, and manufacturing, processing etc. etc. etc. That should actually count towards Russia's GDP. Not in this guy's back of the "envelope" calculations..

  23. @planetmikusha5898  I'd imagine they're already in the process of being repaired and are probably utilizing newer tech than the US, which hasn't allowed a new refinery for > twenty years ..

  24. @planetmikusha5898  hasn't toppled Russia yet, seemingly, what we've done is put our enemies closer in touch and aligned against us even more. We've also made Taiwan, all the more pressing. We have a reputation as well as a reserve currency at stake.

  25.  @EconLessons  of course. Why didn't you mention them, is the question..

  26. @JS-fd5oh  not much different here either.

  27. Does Russia have a defense program ???
    1
  28.  @EconLessons  well their gov probably gets gold toilet seats. While our Gov probably buys hammers for $1000.

  29. Hence, the reason for capitalism

  30.  @george.carlin  Seems like every time Zelenskyy fires upon Russia, they certainly retaliate in kind plus one or two. I think Russia wants to drag this out a while. I think he knows NOT only the landscape of Ukraine has changed NOT only dramatically but for decades. The male population of Ukraine will not likely return to what it was pre-conflict, five to ten decades. Waiting it out tires the opponent. Putin obviously knows the terrible predicament the West is about to face. It's NOT likely that Russia will have to face any of the same problems. Even China, which is directly dependent upon the US, is undergoing terrible financial / monetary issues. Western Europe is actually in a much worse recession than the US. The US will however get there soon enough unfortunately.
