  1. Yes. The interest rates are still at or near zero, so the Fed and ECB have to interest rates.

  2.  @billy6pack887  We're not at war. This is Putin's failures. He pulled the trigger and sealed his own fate. It's not a "both sides" issue. He's wrecked his own economy and embarrassed the Russian Armed Forces. The US is wisely profiting by selling LNG to the EU and marketing US-made weapon systems.

  3.  @billy6pack887  Is that supposed to be scary. The idle threats of nukes don't work anymore. Putin should have stayed in Russia and he wouldn't be getting so many Russians killed.

  4.  @dedel6954  Russia has plenty soldiers getting used as Ukrainian fertilizer. The random reference to gay makes it apparent that you're not into females. How can you be a closeted gay person and a Russian bot at the same time?

  7.  @dedel6954  Learn to mind your own business. You're not saying anything worth replying to, and you're also boring as hell. Maybe someone else would be interested in talking to a Russian bot. I'm going to have to mute you for cluttering up my notifications with Kremlin propaganda. You can finish the discussion with my online ghost.

  10.  @targe4070  You're the "con," who's too dumb to come up with an intelligent response. If that's supposed to be an insult, you need to hang around with different people. I'm assuming you're an adult, but you're pointing, laughing, and using cringe emojis.

  11.  @stefanfreestylez  I have no clue what any of that means. Maybe sent it to another crazy person who understands what you're trying to say.

  12. [ 25:00 ] His parole officer may be successful and good at her job, but they clearly aren't a good match. Having interpersonal skills would make the relationship a lot better. You don't have to care, but you should at least get the parolees to believe you care and help them reintegrate into society.

  14. I'm not worried about what allegedly happened in November 2020 that led the far-Right to declare the election "rigged." That's their own delusion and fundraising campaign. If the Democrats "stole" the election then, they better make sure they do the same in 2024 because it sounds like fascists only support election results when it goes their way.

  19.  @CheapSquierBassPlayer  🥱🥱You're still an amateur at trolling. Are you trying to get pointers and suggestions from a pro because this is PBS Frontline and not a political show? I'm guessing you're thinking I'm triggered by being called something that I'm clearly not. It's pretty obvious that you know that, too. I can be a foreigner. If you want to be offensive, then equate me to being whatever you are. That would cross the line.

  20.  @CharisSunny  Liberia was founded by freed American slaves, so I'm not sure what the local language had been before they started the country. There were other people in the documentary with very heavy accents, but the president speaks like a typical elderly American woman from the South. She lived in the US for college, but if I heard her voice without knowing, I wouldn't be able to distinguish the difference. I took piano lessons from a Liberian man, and he was the first one to explain their connection to America. You're right about the accents in the Caribbean.

  21. Ukraine doesn't have a defense pact with the US and the White House has already announced sanctioning will be the US response, so how are you getting these fictional body bags and direct US-Russia fighting? They would have to attack a NATO country to get US to fight Russian troops.

  22.  @antoniosimon3458  Don't tag me and stop randomly butting in conversations that have nothing to do with you. If English is not your native language, don't go ranting as if I can make sense of what is going on in your head. There is war, and you're crazy enough to think I'm confused and distracted like you to go over centuries of irrelevant history. It's okay to have an opinion, but you're just a Russian bot spreading propaganda and lies that you didn't even come up with yourself. Someone else came up with all of the lies and talking points, and now you're trying to flood the conversation with lies. It's a waste of time, and you won't be able to change a single person's mind because it's a lie and you're not even credible. You're just ranting like a crazy person. The "," or "comma" has an actual purpose in English grammar and punctuation. If you want to argue, learn how to write and keep it simple and to the point.

  23.  @RobBCactive  Was that the "F**k the EU" call? I know the US' role in Ukraine and NATO, but I didn't take time to figure out why the Russian troll blamed Nuland. I didn't know who she was before the phone call was leaked. I did remember seeing US embassy workers, including her, in Kyiv handing out water and deserts to the Euromaidan protestors. That doesn't sound like the type of coups/regime changes, the US and Soviet Union did during the Cold War. Regardless of the outcome of the present war, Putin and his minions have only united NATO and strengthened the influence of the US over European security affairs.

  24.  @antoniosimon3458  If the empire was crumbling don't you think we would know that? The markets and the law of supply/demand prices that in their decisions. You might feel comfortable with your opinion, but it's got nothing to do with economics or reality. What you're doing is spreading propaganda, and that is why I haven't read a single complete sentence from you and I still question your comprehension of the English language or an understanding of geopolitics. You might be an elderly person, but you can't just lie to people and expect me to believe that you know anything about the world. I can't think of a polite way to say it, but you're not educated; you don't know economics, and you can't post a single point without posting a novel of nonsense. You haven't said a single thing that makes sense, and you can't even stay on topic, so could you please stop tagging me and engaged with someone else because I don't know what to tell you. I really wish you would kindly leave me alone because I'm not interested in people who lie. That's rude, disrespectful, and people who lie are immoral.

  28. The US gov't could get companies to not be so dependent on China and encourage them to relocate with incentives, but China used currency manipulation and government investments to make it the world's factory and cheapest contract manufacturer. India, Africa, or even Russia could definitely transform themselves to become an alternative; but the global supply chains should diversify and not be so dependent on cheap manufacturing in China.

  31. If you were elected on a platform to end the war in a Iraq, and the US's credibility as a force for good was shot straight to hell. How the fk do you expect an administration to quickly end ISIS without support from Congress and the international community. You're either for endless war or against it. It's good you served but the president calls the shots. You have no more of a voice or vote than the other 330 million Americans.

  32. That's not how it "really is." That's your opinion on geopolitics, which you're entitled to have. Just because her opinion doesn't align with yours, doesn't mean she's not being objective.

  34. It's fine to evaluate yourself and own personal failures, but you can't speak for half the globe and the oldest and most stable markets in history. China and other developing nations are experiencing economic growth because it was cut off from most of world trade during the Cold War, and has now re-joined the global market. Before the 19th and 20th centuries, and before industrialization and being overtaken and weakened by European and Japanese imperialism during, China and India had been the largest economies and relied on their large populations to outproduce most of the world. It's a great accomplishment to bring hundreds of millions of the population out of poverty, but communism never works. It causes corruption, waste of resources, and gives the illusion of a planned economy, free of recessions. Market corrections and recessions serve a purposes and changes behavior. The CCP functions more like a single corporation rather than a nation, and the recent hostile stance is not all because of Trump's aggression and trade war. In China, there are many economic, environmental, human rights, and structural weaknesses that are being brought to light. The question of what will happen when the growth slows substantially, is a genuine one. If the US, put Apple Inc. or Google as the global representative of the American system of government, culture, and economics, we'd appear as organized as the CCP as well. It's good to prepare for war, but a direct war with the US won't happen. China will definitely defend itself if attacked or if it's frontiers are threatened; but there is nothing to gain from going to war directly with the United States. The U.S. and Russia defense strategy is to make war unwinnable and as close to nonvalue added as possible. The U.S. and Russia could destroy the planet, and the U.S. economy alone affects the global market, so there won't a direct war. It's likely there could be proxy conflicts similar to the Cold War. Both sides could arm the enemies of each other, and would be hostile to smaller nations picking sides. It's likely that China is already using North Korea as a proxy to harass the US. I don't see a war because China is proud of what it has accomplished and would like to be treated as an equal to the US; and they want the rest of the international community to recognize that as well. The nuclear threat from the US is an effective deterrent and China is surrounded by American forces and allies. They could challenge India, since it doesn't have a security agreement with the US, but not America directly.

  35. The plan was to start a war not make peace. The only Marshall Plan in the area was the Green Zone.

  36.  @andrewjacobson556  There was never a plan or a long-term strategy. I was originally for it, even though now I know it was morally wrong and driven by my own Islamophobia. It was more about revenge, hate, wanting to see the Middle East burn, and killing anyone who posed any level of threat to the US. George W Bush had a blank check to anything he wanted after 9/11. Afghanistan was intended target, but there were more business interest in toppling the Iraqi government. I doubt there was anything Saddam could have done to prevent war. He could have captured bin Laden, and still would have been invaded.

  41. This video was about specific topic: The Obama Administration and Immigration Enforcement from 2011. They're not asking anyone to care about immigrants. This was a major story leading up to the 2012 Presidential Election. Frontline PBS and their journalist produce high-quality and impartial documentaries. There's a great chance that the issues affecting "American citizens" and Black Americans, that you assume they are ignoring, can be found in their library of documentaries.

  42.  @AngryFart  Hatred of the mainstream media (with the exception of the Murdoch Empire), and drastically overstating the influence of the media is what unites them all. During the 45th President's term, they held CNN, MSNBC, ABC, and CBS to a higher standard than the White House.

  43. It sounds like you're already hiding under a rock. if you're afraid of war and afraid of Russia, move to Switzerland. You can't be a coward and a nuclear superpower at the same time. You might want peace, but I don't want any weakness near Washington, DC. That's why we vote on leaders but not on US foreign policy. That's what the White House is for. You're too busy trying to surrender before even hearing the terms.

  44. The phrase and talking point "fake Russia collusion," is from the person who was the subject of the Russia Investigation. "Collusion" wasn't the name of the criminal allegations Mueller investigated. Since no one charged or exonerated, why would she refer to it as fake collusion?

  45. Then where is the treaty or executive agreement stating that? The US can't make a decision on behalf of the Ukrainian government.

  46. That should help you understand why the religious right is so hostile to secularism and liberal politics. I might not agree with them on the law, but they clearly stayed focused on the Supreme Court and overturning Roe vs. Wade.

  47. The GOP officials who are being put in place to possibly overturn a Democrat win in the 2024 Election might let the "Big Lie and Coup Planners" down. It's not that I think they'll have the integrity to stand up to Trumpism and fascism by following the law and embracing democratic values. It's because most of them seem to be more concerned about self-preservation, political careers, and their own legal liability. I think they'll use the system and new election laws to "out bureaucrat" the Democrats and disenfranchise Left-leaning voters, but going in and changing an election result wouldn't go unpunished or unnoticed. The far-Right and the Trump Campaign have enough trouble competently running and organizing official business. That's one of the reasons the claim of a stolen election harming an incumbent president sounds ridiculous. The President and the Attorney General have all the resources of the federal government to enforce the law and secure the elections, and an interstate criminal conspiracy to defraud the government by stealing an election is hard to go unnoticed by the Fed and the international media. I don't doubt they would openly plot that and use mafia-like tactics and blackmail to bully state-level GOP officials, but in my opinion, it would take the complicity of the Democrats, Republicans, media, and state-federal law enforcement to successfully pull a scheme of that magnitude.
