  1. Exactly!!! For this reason I've unsubscribed to DN! Just happened to see Sachs was on to tune in. I've replaced DN! with The Duran and other serious reportage... Jackson Hinkle, Redacted... Consortium News, The New Atlas, etc....about 6 others. Any others may not know of? I watch The Duran daily. It's a lovely, highly informative show. (Actually, I watch them all daily now... Fascinating times....)

  2. Another component: both China and Russia have elevated the standard of living for many millions in their countries while Western countries have severely degraded theirs. (As reflected in our increasingly higher rate of mortality... ETC.) So the threat to those in power in the West is actually an economically and politically structural one. While unfettered capitalism produces a few billionaires it simultaneously impoverishes millions. So the question is What are the differences between our economic/political systems? (See Prof. Robert Wolff and others on the topic.) But that can of worms can't be looked into, so our rulers in the Western world have to create boogymen of China and Russia and keep us poor, impotent, fearful, uneducated and distracted with anything they can come up with, anything domestically divisive--and constant wars are unbelievably profitable for them! It's all so cruel, so very insane......

  5. Wow! Thank you for that! I wonder if he's changed...or what? Watch THE DURAN if you haven't discovered them yet. You'll appreciate their reportage and analysis.

  10. And Max Blumenthal, Scott Ritter, Aaron Mate... Oh, there are so many DN! would be interviewing if they were still a serious news outlet...... I hope they can throw off their corporate shackles and straighten up.

  11. Your education is sadly lacking. Both Russia and China have lifted MILLIONS out of abject poverty. Watch some travelogs on these countries. I was astounded to discover how incredibly well their populations are faring-- and their infrastructure is AMAZING too. Check out the Moscow subway system for starters. And Gorky Park dances. But China's even more amazing... It's all blown me away. I had no idea just 5 months ago.

  12.  @bobdu3412  Thanks, Bob. Yeah, the more uninformed the more rude people get. It was a bit of a nasty surprise when I saw it earlier, but I guess it's just a defence mechanism. I appreciate your kind note.

  13. There are many good programs to watch now: THE DURAN, REDACTED, THE NEW ATLAS, JACKSON HINKLE, ETC! We're not alone.

  14. You might try watching THE DURAN...for starters. If you're really interested in geopolitics.

  15. PS Any idea what a "tanky" is, Bob? Perhaps it was a misspelling... Looks as if he's either barely functionally literate or perhaps English isn't his mother tongue. Or maybe I'm just not hip to the slang...

  16. What do you think of Richard Wolff?
