  1. None of expected Erdogan to make it worse.

  2. Main points. 1. Russia has deep economic problems, relying on basic imports, instead of value added production. 2. Money was wasted before 2009, due to the income distribution being concentrated in the hands of a few, and consequent low savings amongts large segments of the population. 3. It is not possible to know what is going on behind the corridors of power. 4. Centralization of power, has produced less innovation, and less progress on topic 1.  5. Putin was losing votes. Then the West gave Putin a lifeline as a result of the Ukrainian mess, due to Putin's ability to concentrate on external policy.  5. Sanctions had no immediate outcome, but did reduce capital resources, to handle problem number 1, and also reduce resource sector production. 6. There are inernal confrontations within the power structure in Russia. 7. Low energy prices are impacting everything, and state spending has reduced. This has caused lower internal hierarchy. 8. Long term issues, include a lack of a viable opposition in politics, and lack of preparedness for sudden events. Centralization is producing problems with decision making. 9. There have been replacements of incompetent administrators, and businessmen deemd to be involved in corruption. 10. Inflation and unemployment rises are concerning.                 Not mentioned. Corruption. The world's worst demographic weaknesses. Substance abuse and the consequent problems. Labour unit productivity underperformance. Infrastructure weakness, especially in respect of housing, and education. Loss of educated workers. Social problems. Gradual replacement of imports from the West by internal production in the food sector of the economy. Healthcare system in crisis. Being propped up by the PRC, which needs an ally in international politics. Lack of administartive reform, and failure to achieve state sector productivity gains.

  3. Libya has been in a civil war for longer.

  4. Two bald men arguing over a comb.

  5. 100% correct. I would add that the scale of militaristic interference by Erdogan in the neighbourhood is related to the level of failure in Erdogan's domestic policies.

  6. Turkey is headed for a civil war.

  7. Mohammed created Allah. The cult of Mohammed is based on plagiarism of competing beliefs, particularly the Jewish Torah.

  8. The source of the problem - the dominant cult in Afghanistan.

  9. The EU?

  10. The Irish media are doing everything possible to undermine Brexit. A case of Stockholm syndrome with an advertising revenue sweetener. The problem is that the Irish media will eventually create a bloodbath in NI. This will divide Scotland, and cause Scottish people to turn against Ireland. Which undermines the SNP. Scotland has an enormous financial problem. If independent it would be less solvent than Greece. In the election in February, SF got more seats, but the Irish banks have been undermined by this.... Meaning that EU institutional power has increased over Ireland, making the Irish media even more pliant.

  11. War in Ukraine could have Russian consequences - large protests and a change of government in Moscow. With Zelensky being the next Ukrainian President when it us all over.

  12. Sending weaponry to Northern Ireland 2.0 is stupid. All countries who have done so, are guilty of making the crisis much worse. Britain in particular should be ashamed of itself. The USA has no standards and a century of "regime change" in Latin America in particular. It is indicative of a power state that has lost contact with morality.

  13. They sold it on to the Chinese.....not sure if that was recommended by Brandon.

  14. Fine. But is Erdogan ready for a backlash from Arab nationalism ?

  15. The lunar cult has destroyed Afghanistan.

  16. Thank you. That statement provides better prediction of the future than the video.
