  1. Russia is struggling in the war and will not be the same for decades following the end, hopefully in a complete Russian withdrawal, but that's up to Ukraine. Europe has some big changes coming after the war, and it needs to get its act together, but from what I've seen it's every man for himself at present, starting with Germany, it is also still making uncomfortable decisions!?!

  2. ​ @tomcrouchman  Peter is from a US perspective, the US is "again" energy independent, it's easier to use carbon and slowly introduce measures at your leisure, but in Europe which is getting the "squeeze" on energy it is more pressing, therefore renewables are developing at a fast pace for energy independence by 2035 (Although Germany and Italy might struggle without adopting New Nuclear). Storage of energy at scale is the biggest problem everything else is manageable, however alterations to the grid networks in Europe will be expensive over the long term it will pay dividends and Europe's grid "should" be the most efficient in the World, it most probably is already!?!

  4. ​ @Hangover-ry9bo  I am a Boomer and all problems do not lie at our door, we have had to fight for our rights against the elite greedy politicians and the corporates, the younger generation have taken their eye off the ball with one sided Wokeness and other such wadscollop, it has allowed the tail (Minority) to wag the dog (Majority), that's the biggest problem today, everybody's equal but the rich and minorities are more equal than the majority, it is unsustainable!?!

  8. The wrong answer is to continue supplying people who's minds are impaired by drugs who think they "must" have them. Place them on a hell island where they have to fight each day for their existence might help in that regard!?!

  10. Money men are not like that, they will sell their granny! Automation doesn't give workers jobs, it takes them away!?!

  12. They want to ally with the UK and Germans and they'll be good then!?!

  13. Other people might have the opinion that they have after eating a dodgy curry, mostly I can relate to where he is going but, on occasions, it's a bit of a stretch, but today is good, perhaps he should have a sit down and drink some water first though, I know COVID is over but some time in the "Office" would be fine to, not so much airports though!?!

  14. It is subjective, he could be hit by a bus next week (Hopefully not though) and a YouTuber could claim dollar dominance could end because of it!, better off saying for the foreseeable future, it doesn't help that the US seems to be "politically" running the economy badly and this is impacting slowly on its demise more than Dictators trying to undermine the dollar as the reserve currency to push their own failed agendas!?!

  15. ​ @MrMarinus18  It might be because Europe invests the money poorly from a political point of view, but yes they have lacked infrastructure development and at times it's not "joined up" in Europe (Not just the EU), the EU model is Majorly flawed as political union is dead (Ask Hungary!) there should be an Economic Union which all countries could easily join with simplified rules and regulations and a combined and "compatible" military under NATO!?!

  16. ​ @tylerdouglas3019  You are mostly correct, I think Turkiye boxing in Iran would suit the West, Armenia is going to get last prize and Azerbaijan should just take a land corridor a few miles parallel from the Iranian border line all the way to its orphaned territory so they are not in Armenian territory, then both are in one piece, hopefully Azerbaijan will not decide to take over Armenia as that might be problematic to the international community. Canada is not forgotten by the UK, Australia or NZ (....and the US sometimes!) and you're doing okay!?!

  19. ​ @davidclemens1578  A point with regard to the barter system is that it relies on trust and there is trust in the FIAT system for countries that are trustworthy, it can punish countries who are not trustworthy. Adopting gold is obviously a non starter as gold will have to be located in other countries if you do trade with them, you don't run up a long line of credit, there isn't enough of it, the only other viable currency for economy size (If their figures for GDP can be verified!) is China, of which the Yuan (A separate currency to their domestic currency the renminbi for most probably nefarious uses like currency manipulation) which is losing ground on the dollar (whether by design or pressure by the fed is unclear) who in any dispute will win and have major debt problems (57 Trillion USD total debt 300% of GDP for on and off books ledgers, assuming GDP is correct!) You can see where I am going here if you can't trust the figures as they are unverifiable, why would you use them as your reserve currency, it would be a license for them to spend everyone's money from the Whole World not just their poor citizens, FIAT currency is not perfect, like democracy, but it is far better than the alternatives, that's why it works!?!

  20. The "disabled" people who vote in the US have a right to do so, the same as workers, the problems in US politics especially with regard to the speaker (....and the budget fiascos and the like) are due to the Politicians not getting the rules of their house in order, not the fault of the voters!?!

  21. A major cessation of operations because of strikes or whatever usually or the transporters feel the cost is too high and lobby politicians in their "usual" manner. It won't be because the electorate "may" want it!?!

  22. Russia invaded Ukraine, they can make up any reason they want, and their "pals", but at the end of the day, it will bring them down as well!?!
    1
  23. .....and they can feed themselves, and if Russia increases its mobilisation it will because of heavy losses of the second army Russia has put in, the third army is unlikely to get any better and Wagner is being sidelined by the Russian military!?!

  24. Why? we won't be around then!?!

  26. One day. One day manufacturing may be done locally in a hub, no globalisation!?!

  27. The French military are good, but mostly their leaders just can't be bothered!?!

  28. Yes, the Russian bots are not coping with this, apparently it didn't happen!?!

  29. He has addressed it in previous videos but one assumes as more trade is passed the situation will stabilise, but it's not certain, the US should not put all its eggs in one basket, but the US should actively encourage trade in South America with like minded countries but they appear to be few and far between, corruption seems endemic and a change of leadership can drastically alter a countries trajectory!?!

  30. Well it's not an alternative, it's US centric, I can't see Israel dealing with Iran over hostages, I can see them dealing with Iran in another manner in the future!?!

  31. I suppose we could claim we got them to that stage by getting them "combat ready"!?!

  32. It will be a tragedy for the old and vulnerable, I think the C.C.P. is hoping the economy will continue as workers are younger and fitter and less likely to have long term symptoms or death, but these workers may also have to look after their parents, so it's an absolute lottery and will test the C.C.P. and all their institutions, the effects on the World might be less dramatic as recessionary pressures are in force in 2023 as well as a continuation of the war, which should be reaching a tipping point, the C.C.P. will also clamp down on widespread bad news and will edit same!?!

  33.  @freefalling6960  Yes it does, as long as your defence institutions are bigger than your enemies!?!

  34.  @lomotil3370  Corruption explains the difference between Argentina and Japan!?!

  35. The real BREXIT benefit is that the EU (France and Germany) does not saddle us with rules that suit their interests. We are free to choose our own destiny, it would be better if we could offload the remoaners to the Mainland and get on with things, we are the second biggest economy and the highest rated military in Europe, by the 2030's we will be the biggest economy, Germany is in recession and burning hugh amounts of lignite coal and poisoning the whole of Europe!?!

  36. ​ @delphy2478  Yes, he's good at removing his CCP enemies, one way or another, but a bad leader of China, his three red lines put the property market on the drop, yes something had to be done but that was like change overnight or die, well they all died, more or less, and numerous others, he is ideologically driven but China is corruption driven !?!

  37. It's up to the people of Northern Ireland, it's a thorny issue for Ireland and the whole mess could end up in their lap!?!

  40. ​ @jeffhedrich3551  Yes Jeff we believe everything you write, obviously you got a link from Russian TV the Bastion of truth and liberty, they are not really genocidal maniacs are they, we are, even though we are not present in the Ukraine war, which Russia barbarically started!?!

  41. Chinesium chips to promote peace!?!

  42.  @ArmoredNeko  It cannot support it on its own, but it can ally with other like minded nations, U.K., Australia, New Zealand, Japan, South Korea, Europe if they hold their nose (Slight U.K. dig!) they do not need to support the world, just their interests!?!

  43. I think he intimated that the region wouldn't warrant bigger regions to join in, there is no profit in it!?!

  44. In the UK!?!

  45. Well if you were a betting man you would lose by some margin, there are around 500 million occupied homes in China and about 140 to 180 million unoccupied or unbuilt homes in China less than half of the population size, it was reported by a Chinese citizen that they could house 1.4 billion people but he was obviously not good at maths or very patriotic as China would already be bankrupt in that scenario!?!

  46. ​ @ItsJoKeZ  Yes Russia would have far more border issues if it did not have nukes!?!

  47. I think he ruled out an attack from Lebanon and Syria, Israel would be able to nullify any threats from those quarters. From what Peter was indicating Iran doesn't really support Hamas apart from the damage they can inflict on Israel for their own ends, so they will not break a sweat to help them. Nothing will most probably transpire until the end of the conflict and the dust settles a little in several months or a year's time and it depends on the outcome of the operation!?!

  49. ​ @cesareustaquio7250  He has not left Twitter or X, he is just not bothering to communicate with people on it because it's full of bots or shills!??

  50.  @abcxyz123  It will be a tragedy for the old and vulnerable, but as they have 1.4 billion they will come out of the other side, and there is no real opposition to the C.C.P. and they are placing all their "chips" on saving the economy!?!
