  1. North Korea is not the only possible example.

  2. The main independence party won the election. That is not "voting for independence."

  3. That was not systemic. It was a knee-jerk reaction to bad news.

  4. That has happened before. People do not always eat. Sometimes people starve.

  5. Only one disagreement: All of Russia may collapse, but they are not going to withdraw the war. They will keep it going with receipts from oil, natural gas, and wheat. The elites will let the whole Russian population die to win this war. That is already obvious from the war casualties numbers.

  8. When regulators try to say something to calm the public, that one thing. When the bank vault is empty, it is another.

  12. I doubt they have metal reserves.

  13.  @stevenwillis3839  Those are not reserves. They are numbers on a spreadsheet. Metal is reserves.

  14. NATO will probably go into Ukraine. I have been predicting that from the beginning.

  17. There are no frozen banks in America.

  18. @DarealRadexHEJOO  Dude. You know nothing about America. One bank had a run. The bank was closed for 3 days while they fixed the problem. Three days later, the bank opened and the public had full access to their money. No accounts were frozen. Big deal. 🤷🤷‍♀️

  21. The facts are that the rubble has been sliding in value every year since 1991. Go look up a rubble chart. You can see the slide.

  23. Well he might because he knows that Ukraine in the past has always been a corrupt country with bribes and stuff, and our money is needed at home. Why are we defending Europe, anyway? Pick up the slack.

  24. @jackorchard1279  Okay. Fine. Give me your opinion of what would be in the interest of all Americans.

  28. No one tells Americans what to do. Are you joking? We are the richest, most powerful country in the world that got its start by rebelling against the monarchy and defeating the world's largest miltary.

  35. @richardwilliamson1639  No the United States' citizens did not import Russian mafia bosses, oligarchs, and corruption into the United States. What crazy, mixed up, ridiculous tales you tell.

  36. Bitcoin is an asset like land or gold. Its only value is based upon how many people want it. Stock in a corporation is based on the company's ability to earn a profit.

  37. You obviously do not know much about Russia.

  38. Communist ideology is based upon the theory of evolution. It teaches that society will evolve to the point where capitalism will be replaced by communism worldwide. Communisists view themselves as being on the leading edge of world progress who can lead the world into its predetermined future.

  42. ​@johnpieratt1474 President Trump is the billionaire -- not you.

  43.  @douglashughes2331  1. President Trump was elected on the platform of Make America Great Again. That is his plan, and that makes his likely actions predictable. No one elected him to do whatever to Putin. 2. People do not become billionaires without being able to listen to other people and learn.

  44. You believe Russian government statements and Russian news?

  45. How was Russia founded? There were 2 cities: Moscow Novgorod Moscow attacked and took over Novgorod, and became the capital city of the two.

  46. McDonald's and 5000 other Americans businesses winked, and told Putin they would be back when the war ends.

  47. @peterwilliams2152  McDonald's and the other companies did not become anything. They sold out to Russian companies and left. You cannot buy a Big Mac anywhere in Russia.

  48. @peterwilliams2152  When a country has a high interest rate, consumers stop borrowing money for larger purchases, such as cars and homes. Business people cannot borrow money to start new businesses, or expand existing businesses, or borrow their way out of a cash crunch. A high interest rate shuts down your economy to almost zero growth, and at times, negative growth. It takes time to come into play, as the effect ripples through the economy, but the longer the interest rate stays high, the more damage is done to the economy. At a certain point of slowing down, it becomes nearly impossible to start the economy to start back up again. The net result of it all is tax revenues drop, and the government cannot pay its bills.

  49.  @peterwilliams2152  What advantage is it to you to make fake lying propaganda statements? The current bank lending rate in Germany is 5.18% This is normal.
    1
  50. @peterwilliams2152  Last year it was 6.3%. Which is really pretty good. A standard mortgage in the United States averages 7%.

  51. @peterwilliams2152  I did not look up exactly how many companies may be going bankrupt. I caution you about making assumptions without looking up the actual numbers. That issue is separate from the banking industry. It is mostly in the manufacturing sector. Including restaurants that use a lot of natural gas to "manufacture" food. These manufacturing companies have to pay a higher price for their gas. That pushes up the cost of goods sold. Which means that if they want to stay in business, they have to raise their retail prices. Which they can do because all of their competitors are in the same boat. But at the same time, their customers have to accept that the prices are higher and the consumer has no choice but to pay the higher price. That reduces the consumer's spending power, and their paycheck cannot buy as many goods as it did before. And the German public just has to accept that they cannot buy as much. It is now a fact of life, and there is no going back. On the other hand, for companies that export goods, it will be much harder to compete on international markets because they cannot adequately raise those prices. They have to sell at a higher price, but many buyers may not accept the higher price. This will lead to lower sales volume and corresponding lower gross profit margins. If the profits get too low, it can lead to bankruptcy. But that is not guaranteed. There are multiple ways to avoid it.

  52. All of the Ukrainians say that Russia broke it. And it called for Russian military withdrawal from Ukraine. They definitely did not withdrawal.

  53. No.

  55. It is not "counter-intuitive to the basic pronciples of supply and demand." The priciples say that when times are tough, middle income and rich shift their buying from SUPERIOR GOODS to INFERIOR GOODS.

  56. I saw a Russian blogger walk through a Russian mall. All of the shops were open. I did not see a single customer in the entire mall.

  57.  @peterwilliams2152  In an American mall, you will see 5 to 10% of the customers during the day. Everyone in the country does not work in the day. If they did, all of the restaurants would be closed at night.

  58. You read too much fake propaganda.

  59. No it is not terminal. They will just let their people starve while feeding the war machine like North Korea does.

  62. The UK has been struggling since brexit. Nothing new here.

  63. @TrevorCrook-c1s  It was brexit. I am sorry that you think you can speak without knowing economics.

  64.  @TrevorCrook-c1s  They have gas and crude from other sources, and home heating can be converted to electric, freeing up more gas. Russia is not a large crude producer, anyway. No one needs Russia.

  65. @TrevorCrook-c1s  I am not going to teach you economics. You can go take a college course like I did.

  66.  @TrevorCrook-c1s  The EU members have free trade between countries. When the UK pulled out, they lost their free trade and met trade barriers. That caused the UK to struggle. Europe is as low as it will go. The only way left now is up.

  67. @TrevorCrook-c1s  So now you think you know more than university professors?? 🤷‍♀️ Why am I not surprised at that? 🤷
