  1. Macron talks like he wants a united Europe, but his policies seem to be more inclined to a Europe subordinate solely to French interests.

  2. Macron is making the same case as Neville Chamberlain when he appeased pre-WW2 Germany with the carving up of Czechoslovakia.

  3. That is true as long as you ignore the economic data.

  4. The writers are in Spain. This channel is actually just the English translation.

  5.  @pinkythemighty  I wouldn't be surprised if Putin saw the leaders of America, UK, France, and Germany thought "what can these idiots do against me".

  6. Russia bot☝️

  7. Remember Hitler only invaded Poland after his appeasement with the territory of Czechoslovakia.

  8. Macron literally suggested surrendering territory to Putin. Mockery is well deserved.

  9. Erodgan met the low expectations.

  10. Expectations were low, and Biden somehow stumbled into a situation where all his rivals shot themselves in the foot: Trump endorsing loser candidates, Xi being protested for zero-covid, Iran being protested for a sexist murder, and Putin being humiliated over Ukraine failures.

  11.  @vietimports  I find it funny how arrogant you sound when clearly you have no idea what you are talking about. Gas prices are due to two factors: supply and demand. Biden is responsible for driving up prices on the supply side. Biden's campaign to prevent investment in oil and gas has resulted lower domestic production of gas. He also failed to make up for this shortcoming by convincing Saudi Arabia to supply more to market. Maybe he shouldn't have been so shortsighted by continously insulting their leader. On the demand side, China's zero-covid policy shut down their economy which means they need less oil and gas. This drop in demand has caused the prices to drop temporarily. Why you think Biden deserves any credit for this turn of luck is beyond me.

  12.  @SincerelyFromStephen  Economic inequality is just complaining that some people are richer than you, while ignoring the net benefits to everyone. In socialism, Bob and Juan only get a dollar raise due to limited economic growth. In capitalism, Bob gets a $5 raise while Juan gets a $15 raise as increasing productivity produces more for less. Only fools would prefer everyone remaining equally poor instead of Juan getting richer than Bob.

  13.  @SincerelyFromStephen  While a CEO gets richer at a faster rate than his employees, his employees still have a growing standard of living. It is just petty jealousy to complain that the rich get richer as your quality of life improves. (Btw: Your BS antidotes are disproven by economic data from the Department of Labor.) If you want equality, then look to Cuba and the Soviet Union where there is little economic inequality as the economy stagnates.

  14.  @SincerelyFromStephen  Nice story, but the facts don't support it. If economic inequality is so detrimental, then why is there an inverse relation with poverty? Obviously, greater economic activity due to low taxes and minimal regulation increases the demand for jobs. Just look at the pre-covid US economy when wages were going up to due to low unemployment making companies compete with higher wages.

  15.  @SincerelyFromStephen  The current cost of living crisis is due to Keynesian spending and not Reaganomics. Paying people not to work is obviously terrible for productivity and is a leading cause for inflation. Pre-covid, when low unemployment drove higher wages instead of government interference, the inflation rate was a stable 2%. How can one objectively believe that Biden's economy policy is better for the average worker than Reagan's policy was in the 1980s?

  16.  @SincerelyFromStephen  Maybe you should read an actual economics book instead of just patrioting soundbites from AOC and Bernie Sanders.

  17.  @SincerelyFromStephen  🤣🤣🤣 You are completely out of depth that instead of making a well thought out point, you intentionally take my statement out of context to make a snide comment. Maybe wait to post when you actually know what you are talking about.

  18.  @ingramfry7179 I can't tell if you are intentionally trying to be misleading or if your knowledge really is limited to a 10 second Google search. Your whole point is moot as none of these countries actually follow Reagonmics. You listed a of bunch of African countries that are in no way representive of free market principles. They have a lot big government policies that prevent innovation and scares off investment. This leaves these African economies with only resource extracting companies that support a few corrupt government officials and their friends. You can also look at the opposite end to show that having low gini coefficient just means everyone is poor. Top 5 Countries with the Lowest Gini Coefficients (%) - World Bank: Slovenia - 2018 - 24.6 Czech Republic - 2018 - 25.0 (tie) Slovakia - 2018 - 25.0 (tie) Belarus - 2019 - 25.3 Moldova - 2018 - 25.7

  20. I guess Macron has learned nothing from from the pre-WW2 appeasement of Germany.
