Comments by "Jonathon Moseley" (@MoseleyJon) on "PROOF: Russia's Economy is Collapsing" video.

  1.  @KR72534  Yeah, you are about 500 years behind the times. While you are confused because you cannot translate across national economies, Russians live better than you do. After the collapse of the USSR, the average Russian earned about $400 per month. But it only cost $400 per month to live very well. I made $1000 per month from an American training and consulting company. And that was living rich. The attempts to compare different economies is a failure. Vastly more Russians own their own house or apartment (like condo ownership) than Americans. Russia grows vast amounts of food and Russians have every kind of food in abundance. Put down your books from the 1400s and open your eyes.

  2.  @mr.priman  Russia, Ukraine, and Belarus are all the same country, founded 1100 years ago in Kiev

  3. Funny that they were not. Even in the Soviet Union, Ukraine was much more backward than the Russian Oblast.

  4.  @jamesortiz5388  "Germans said Russian soldiers were covered with bugs very dirty and uniforms that were filthy." Well in the middle of a war living in trenches, yes, Germans and Russians and the US and the UK and the French and the Italians were all covered with bugs, very dirty, with filthy uniforms. It's called WAR. You might want to learn some history.

  5. Except for when they are not, which is 100% of the time. Russia is exporting oil, gold, diamonds, natural gas, and every other natural resource -- now at very elevated prices.

  6. A corrupt US Sstate Department official Victoria Nuland walks into a Starbucks. A journalist asks: Does Russia want to attack NATO? Victoria Nuland: "They will when I get through with creating a war."

  7. Russia has absolutely no interest in how Europe does anything. If Europe would just stop trying to attack and over-throw Russia, Russia would leave them alone.

  8.  @tjones44236  A dacha is -- by definition -- a SECOND HOME in the countryside. SO if your former mother-in-law has a dachaa she is RICH ENOUGH to have TWO homes. Now the dacha is often family owned. It is usually not personally owned. So Russians typically own their own house or apartment (condominium style) free and clear with no mortgage, because the state-owned property was distributed to the people when communism collapsed. And their FAMILY also owns a country home, a dacha. A dacha can be anything from a palace to a camping shack. But a dacha is a SECOND home. My friend's family dacha was small so when we all went out there for a long weekend we had to sleep in cars or sleeping bags. But we all lined up for the toilet, the shower, the indoor plumbing. REMEMBER: Indoor plumbing from a WELL with a small electric motor is CHEAPER than connecting to the city water. In the USA, if you have a well, you drill a hole into the ground, drop down an electric pump into the hole, and get FREE WATER forever. ANd the pipes are a short distance.

  9.  @tjones44236  "Russia had a frontier slave culture " which ended in February 1917 and more in October-November 1917. Overthrowing that culture was the purpose of the Russian Revolution. The broad-based coalition of the revolution was then thrown into the civil war between the Whites and Reds (Bolsheviks). The very purpose (allegedly) of the revolution was to bring equal rights to all the people in the Russian Empire.

  10. SInce it is not true, it tells you a lot about the people who lie about such things

  11. ​ @KR72534  Again, since everyone owns their own house or apartment -- which were distributed to all citizens when the communist system collapsed -- your statistics are meaningless, for that and many other reasons. Again, my comments seem to be disappearing. But when I earned $1000 a month from an American company, I was rich. Instead of sharing a family house, I lived on my own in a very nice large apartment on $1000 per month and had plenty of money to spend. You cannot compare different economies.
    2
  12.  @votebrian66  The concepts? No, the concepts are the same. THE DETAILS? Every variable of the model is radically different in the USA versus Russia. That's the point. You cannot compare the economy of Russia to the USA. Their situations are completely different.
    2
  13.  @KolasName  That is true, but that means that the rest of the world is moving away from the USA economically because they are tired of suffering from the USA's bad economic policies. So the USA is shooting ourselves in the foot. It's our way. That's what we do. Meanwhile, Russia has more natural resources than the rest of the world combined. Russia stretches across 11 time zones. So there is plenty for Russia to export

  16.  @KR72534  Russia's technology has been ahead of the West for 1100 years. 100% of all Russian apartments and houses have indoor plumbing. Russians had indoor plumbing before the Pilgrims from the Mayflower had built their first building and were still living on the ground.

  17. I think you are confused. The Russian soldiers may have been amazed that in Germany any two bricks were still standing one on top of the other after the Russians smashed the German war machine.
    2
  18. Or better yet, you could go look for yourself. Which I have done. Everyone has indoor plumbing. Everyone owns their own apartment (condominium) or house -- unless they subsequently sold it voluntarily. No one has a mortgage because the communist state distributed real estate to its citizens like dividends from the dismantling of communism. People grow their own food in addition to buying extra things. They have gardens. THey have communal gardens. They have dachas (2nd homes in the countryside) where they have gardens. Romanians and Russians live richer than Americans. Go look and see for yourself.
    2
  19.  @ТатьянаБорисенко-р7н  I would rather see what I actually saw and not listen to anyone's propaganda There are no residences in Russia lacking indoor plumbing, unless it is something like a hunting cabin in the woods or campaign shack. I visited a family lakeside shack in rural Latvia. In door plumbing. Toilets. We had a large camping crowd so we had to line up, and I had to sleep in the back of a station wagon. But still indoor plumbing. Toilets. Shower.

  23.  @mr.priman  There has never been a muscovy empire. The Russian Empire was founded in Kiev 1100 years ago. The communists (who are now in AMerica in the Democrat Party) staged a revolution and then turned on their allies. There was a civil war between the Reds and the Whies. So for 70 years there was a country the Soviet Union formed out of many countries by force at the point of a gun. In 1991, the Soviet Union collapsed and so countries returned to their prior status. There has never been a separate country Ukraine. There has never been a separate country Muscovy. Moscow was and is simply a very large city . Muscovy was led by only a Duke, not a Baron or Lord. It was just a big city within Rus.
    1
  24.  @mr.priman  "Rus was found in Kyiv, not in moscow." That's what I said and have been saying. Rus = Ukraine. Ukraine = Rus. Rus was founded in Kiev in the 800's and culminating in the installation of Vladimir in 917 AD.
    1
  25.  @mr.priman  "When Rus was founded, moscow simply hasn't existed." False. WHen Rus was founded Moscow was a minor city just like all the other cities of Rus. The Tsar of Rus kept MOVING the capitol to break away from the bureuacracy and nobility. So Rus's capital kept moving and eventually moved to Moscow and then to St. Petersburg, then back to Moscow. Moscow existed, but minor towns and cities grew tremendously all over Rus for 1100 years.
    1
  26.  @mr.priman  "1) 1100 there was state called Kyivan Rus (and no, rus and ruZZia aren't the same state)" Actually it was called RUS. Historians invented the description KYIVAN RUS to talk about the period of time when Rus was centered in Kyiv as different from the periods of time when Rus moved from one city to another to the North, eventually to Moscow.

  27.  @mr.priman  "2) and peter the german, after winning the war with Sweden, started to call muscovy - russian empire An empire exists when one leader rules more than one country, like an admiral commands many ships not one. The Russian Empire existed for hundreds of years before it was formally called the Russian Empire. Muscovy had nothing to do with it. Muscovy is just one of many cities in Rus
    1
  28.  @mr.priman  The Russian Empire was not wishful thinking because Rus in act conquered vast lands beyond original Rus and ruled many former countries and kingdoms. The Russian Empire dates back to 1271 at the latest. Again, an "empire" is not what you call something. It is a country under a rule who expands across many countries.
    1
  29.  @mr.priman  Ukraine has always been Rus. If anything, Ukraine is the grandfather, the senior, superior member of the Russian Empire until the rest of Rus grew much more powerful. I wouldn't say that Ukraine grew weaker. The rest of Rus just grew much faster and bigger. Ukraine has never been an independent country. That is not because it is inferior to the rest of Rus, but in fact the source of Rus.

  30.  @mr.priman  "moscow duchy was found in 1282 as Vassal State of Golden Horde. Sorry bro" Sorry, no. Moscow is and always has been a city of Rus. Yes, all of Rus was viciously attacked and invaded century after century by barbarians from the East like the Golden Horde. It already existed independent from the Eastern barbarians. All parts of RUs suffered from barbarian invasions. Moscow was no different from any other part of Rus. Moscow's founding has nothing to do with the Golden Horde. Moscow's survival was threatened by the Golden Horde, for sure.

  31.  @mr.priman  Um. They were. The USA fought a war against UK over that question. Did you hear about it? The American Revolution. The United States declared independence on July 2, 1776, published openly on July 4, 1776. The English crown had some strong feelings about that. We fought a big war. That's how the USA and the UK became different countries. The UK lost so much money in WW1 and WW2 that they had to abandon Canada and enter into a treaty that Canada and the UK are associated, but diferent countries. DID YOU KNOW that the Queen (now the King) of the UK IS THE QUEEN OR KING OF CANADA? Canada completely ignores the King or Queen. But technically Canada is under the King or Queen of England. But nobody in Canada cares or listens to them.

  32.  @mr.priman  No, I heard of Ukraine, Russia, and NATO agreeing to allow Ukraine to be independent IF AND ONLY IF NATO DID NOT EXPAND. Then NATO expanded and Ukraine militarized against Russia. So agreement broken and void. But did you know that the Declration of Independence of the United States required A WAR between the UK and USA to implement it?

  33.  @igorlobanov5031  1100 years has not passed for the Russians. This is the brain damage of the shallow, foolish Russia-haters. IT DOES NOT MATTER WHAT YOU THINK. If the question is what THEY will do, then what THEY think counts (in terms of what they are going to do). Your opinion does not matter (in terms of what they are going to do). Yet you continue with this YOU-centered analysis as most Russia haters do. The Russian people are deeply tied to their 1100 years of history. They see that they have been victims for 1100 years of invasions from Europe and from the barbarians of the Eastern steppe. They trust no one. They hate you with a passion. They love honor. They love Mother Russia. If they could stab you in the heart but they would also die, they will stab you and me in the heart. They would be happy to die if they can kill us in the West at the same time. That Russian is more real than ever. That Russian has never ended.

Russia is out-producing the rest of the world combined on military equipment.

  41. You are a liar Roberto. Plumbing is pretty damn simple. The Soviet Union put the first satellite in orbit. Manufacturing pipes is child's play. The USSR created full employment by giving everyone public works project jobs. There is no one in Romania or Russia who does not have indoor plumbing, unless they live in a hunting cabin in the middle of the woods like the UNABOMBER
    1
  42.  @tjones44236  Sorry, not buying it. If I choose to go live in the woods like the UNABOMBER in the USA, Ted Kozenski or I choose to live alone in the wilderness, that's different. But the Soviet Union faked "full employment" by putting people to work doing public works projects. Nothing is more simple and basic to put people to work and claim everyone is employed than running some pipes to and from apartment high-rise complexes and houses. If there is any house or apartment that does not have indoor plumbing and toilet after 70 years of communism, like FDR's Public Works programs in the USA, it would be a museum and people would come and stare at it in wonder.
    1
  43.  @tjones44236  "She's pushing 90 and hers is the only old school dacha remaining on the street, to my knowledge." All houses and apartments were owned by the State under communism. When communism ended, the successor countries distributed all the houses and apartments to the people. So your family's relative simply needs to stop being a hermet living in the woods and come to the city.
    1
  44.  @tjones44236  I have a 94-year old Aunt who refuses to move from her little house in the middle of nowhere. It would be so much easier for all of us if she would move to be near any of the rest of the family. But she will not go down the street. So if your family's relative refuses to leave a hunting woods cabin, that's her choice
    1
  45.  @tjones44236  "whereas the US frontier was settled by individualist yeoman farmers" Individual homes or frontier cabins creates the opportunity for some houses to have indoor plumbing while others do not. Soviet communism required UNIFORMITY and mass production, where everything is done together. The Soviet revolution was about collectivization. The US frontier was fiercely independent and individualized. So for 70 years of Soviet collectivization, if anyone has indoor plumbing EVERYONE HAS INDOOR PLUMBING. If the bureaucrats found a non-conforming house that didn't match the others, they would swing into action and correct that.
    1
  46.  @tjones44236  Especially when the economic model of the Soviet Union was to create MAKE-WORK jobs to PRETEND that their economy was working by giving everyone a job. The entire economic plan, like FDRs policy of climbing out of the Great Depression, was to put EVERYONE to work and give them jobs primarily public works jobs. So the entire Soviet economic model would be to put EVERYONE to work doing things like making pipes, burying the pipes, connecting the pipes to houses and apartment complexes. Whereas the USA is perhaps "chaotic" (individual), Soviet collectivization could not tolerate some people having indoor plumbing and others being different. Conformity was the goal and non-conformity was to be fixed.

  47. Russia did not. Russia is a superpower. The USA is not.... because US leaders are dumb and disloyal. The USA COULD BE the world's strongest superpower.... if we fired all of our leaders and put them on trial for betraying the country. Then the next group of leaders would pay attention to their duties for our country.

  51.  @RondoHunter3.14  I am not sure whom you are responding to, but the Soviet Union, now RUssia, is the SOURCE of spare parts. Whereas the USA has the potential to have a stronger military, we are led by idiots. We depend upon spare parts built overseas. Russia makes its own spare parts at home. It doesn't need to "GET" spare parts. It is the SOURCE of the SUPPLY of spare parts and sells spare parts all over the world. Russia is the richest country on Earth for raw materials. Where does Russia get raw materials? It digs them out of the ground. Again, the idiots who run the USA shut down mining operations for environmental nonsense and non-existent global warming. Russia has no such restrictions on digging out raw materials. "The money disappears into pockets" You mean in the United States of course. In Russia, the factories damn well better produce enough military equipment or the manager and directors will get shot. Only after the Russian military is well-supplied does anyone think about taking "bonuses." But because Russia is the richest country in the world in natural resources, there is plenty to build the strongest military in the world and still make the managers rich.

  57.  @KR72534  That's true. And communism destroyed all rational management and usage of Russia's natural resources. Just like the communists are now doing to the USA. Russia is still exterminating any vestiges of communism and building a free market economy. (The communists have all come here to the USA.) But there is still no country on Earth that has as much natural resources as Russia.

  58.  @KR72534  Looks like my comment got lost so I will try again. Russians are richer than you are and live better than you do. You are writing a corrupt political op-ed? Why don't you try visiting RUssia? You cannot translate across economies. After the Soviet Union collapsed due to communist mismanagement, the average Russian earned $400 per month. But that is living very well. It only costs about $400 per month to live very, very well. See how you cannot translate circumstances across different economies in different countries? I made $1000 per month from an American training and consulting company, and I was rich. Russia can grow an essentially infinite amount of food. Russia stretches across 11 time zones. Russia could grow enough food of every kind to feed the entire planet. So Russians live better than you do and they are very happy.

  59.  @KR72534  Again, Russians are richer than Americans.

  60. Not only do Russians have nearly ZERO housing costs -- throwing off your bigoted ignorance about food costs -- but everyone grows their own food. Not only is Russia a vast breadbasket, as is Ukraine, Byelorus, and Kazakhstan, but nearly everyone grows their own food as well. It's habit and tradition. Most Russians -- OWN, OWN OUTRIGHT, FREE AND CLEAR -- a house or apartment (condominum style) in the city or twon but also have a family dacha in the countryside they also own where they can go out and enjoy nature and grow crops. Note that a dacha has been talked about as a rich person's country house, but a dacha can be anything. It can be a a small camping lodge to a mansion. But everyone owns TWO (2) houses, not just one, one in the city one ancestral out in the country. And they grow food there whose cost does not show up in economic statistics.  @KR72534

  62. ​ @KR72534  So most Russians live better than you do and are richer than most Americans. You may read that they earn $400 per month, but in an economy were $400 per month is a very prosperous living. I once paid for a group of 22 people to have dinner at an upscale hotel dining room. COST? $20. To feed 22 people a very, very nice dinner. The problem with Westerners is that they don't know nothing about the world out there.
    1
  63.  @hessidave  Yes, exactly. THe metrics don't work. You cannot compare the metrics of two very different economies and countries. Home ownership is higher in Russia because the communist state owned everything. So when the communist state collapsed and the communists all moved ot the Democrat Party in the USA, the Party distributed the homes and apartments back to the people. So almost everyone in Russia owns their own house or apartment WITHOUT A MORTGAGE. Therefore, when you look at how Russians spend their money every month you have to undnerstand that the average Russian is spending ZERO on housing costs.

  64. ​ @movement2contact  Sorry but you are 500 years behind the times in your bigotry of Russia. The Soviet Union -- which included Ukraine, Kazakhstan, Tajikastan, Uzbekhistan, Byelorus, Siberia, the Baltics, as well as Russia -- launched the first artificial satellite into orbit launched the first living being (a dog) into orbit launched the first man into orbit launched the first 2 man space capsule into orbit. Crashed the first probe into the moon. NOTE; CRASHING WAS SCIENTIFICALLY ESSENTIAL TO MEASURE THE MOON'S GRAVITY, TO ALLOW THE PROBE TO "FREE FALL" TO THE MOON'S SURFACE to know to the nth degree how fast a lunar landing craft with people in it would fall down toward the moon and how much engine power would be needed to slow the craft to a soft landing. THe USA did it too, later. It was a major achievement to measure the moon's gravity precisely at the surface with a probe.
    1
  65. ​ @movement2contact  Like FDR"s WPA programs to achieve full employment during the (end of the) Great Depression, by giving government projects out, the Soviet Union similarly (because FDR was also a commie of course) put everyone to work doing public works projects in RUssia and throughout the USSR. So you really think the country that built the greatest tank in the world, the T-34, and defeated Hitler's Wehrmacht, couldn't fabricate some pipes to run water to apartment buildings? And yes most Russians live in apartment buildings -- not usually standalone houses. That was part of the "do it big, do it mass produced" soviet economy. So indoor plumbing means highly efficient, concentrated high-rise apartment buildings built during the Stalin era and after.

  68. ​ @KR72534  See there is your bigotry. The USA under JFK threatened world war / nuclear war in 1962 if the Soviet Union did not remove nuclear missiles from Cuba. So it is okay when JFK refuses to be threatened with nuclear missiles on its border. But it is "tyranny and aggression" when Russia takes the same stance, the same policy, and the same line, and NATO insists upon expanding right up to Russia's borders, conducts an illegal coup of the Ukrainian President who wanted neutrality in 2013-2014, constantly talked since 1991 about dismantling and toppling Russia as if Russia didn't get wind of that. So it's okay when the USA does it, right? But it's not okay when Russia does it. That's your analysis?
    1
  69.  @KR72534  Again (my post seems to have been lost), just like FDR created WPA public works projects to stimulate civilian employment during the Great Depression, the USSR also put people to work doing public works projects. After all, the Democrats are communists, just like Stalin and the USSR. So FDR and Stalin, two peas in a pod. So creating pipes for plumbing is pretty damn simple. The Government put people to work, to keep their employment numbers up, doing things like installing 100% indoor plumbing in every house and apartment. 100% of Russians have indoor plumbing. Higher than in the USA.
    1
  70. Furthermore, since you know nothing about Russia or the region, you should open your eyes to the fact that the USSR communist model (like Democrat Party enviro-whacko policies here in the USA) were for giant high rise apartment buildings, all tightly concentrated with mass transit. So when you talk about indoor plumbing, you reveal your lack of knowledge. Most residences are highly concentrated fields - yes mini-cities -- of high-rise apartment complexes. They were all built with centralized, concentrated indoor plumbing. You know so little about your topic that you don't understand: Even the heat was centralized. Heat radiators were fed with hot water from CENTRALIZED heating plants. Individual residences do not have HVAC. It is all centralized. Entire regions of several square miles are fed with steam from a central heating plant to heat all of the apartment complexe. So Russia has 100% saturation of indoor plumbing. That kept people employed under the USSR. And it fit their centralized, compact, communal model of massive mini-cities of high-rise apartment buildings. There is no one in Russia without indoor plumbing unless they choose to live in the woods like a hermet or the UNABOMBER.

  71.  @hessidave  Home ownership (mostly condominium like ownership of apartments) is 100% in Russia, except for those who sold their property. It really helps when one knows things. You are confusing Russia with the systems in the West. Under Soviet communism the State owned everything. When communism collapsed due to lack of interest and support of thepeople, the State distributed all of the real estate to Russia's citizens. So ownership of a residence among Russians is literally 100%. Except if family members want to move out and have their own (additional home). Or if the home owner sells the home and buys a cheaper one. The economy coming out of Soviet communism to modern capitalist Russia is so completely different from the USA that you are making a complete muddle of the story

USA technology was the best in the world and European technology was a mixture of excellence and crap. Today, however, the West has grown fat and lazy and stupid. Russia is the only national government that is sending manned space craft to the International Space Station. There is no higher technology than manned space flight. One mistake and the astronauts are dead. While there are many conspiracy theories about Soviet cosmonauts who died, officially the USA has lost 3 dead astronauts and the Soviet Union 0. The problem is communism. The same political philosophy of the Democrats here in the USA (communist) destroyed the Soviet Union with MANAGEMENT stupidity. Russia has more technological ability to extract all resources from Russia (because the USA has forgotten half of what the USA used to know out of woke stupidity). What Russia does NOT have is management efficiency and skill. Russia is still recovering from the stupidity of communism. So the USA has imported communism here to destroy our country also.
