  1. Mistake in the video: Russia did not cut off gas to Europe. Russia said they would only accept payment in rubles and Europe just stopped buying.

  2. One correction: The interest rate on credit cards generally does not fluctuate when the Fed raises or lowers the prime interest rate.

  3.  @shaynelahmed6323  Huh? You "educate yourself." Hamas demands to continue running Gaza when the war is over.

  4. They did not agree to the terms because every deal that is offered by Hamas includes leaving Hamas in place as the government of Gaza. (and surely other reasons)

  5. Without American investment and sales, the BRICS nations will stagnate.

  6. @shaynelahmed6323  The multiple IRAs throughout Irish history are paramilitary groups who were not an official part of any government. And they have nothing to do with Irish independence. They were fighting over Northern Ireland, which remains a part of Great Britain. Ireland is not an Islamist terrorist state who just attacked Israel during a time of peace and states that they plan to do it again. YOU GET EDUCATED.

  7. @chasea7595  You are a bright one. 112 hostages have already been released and have told their story.

  8. Invading your neighbor is not "defense." Stop lying.

  9. The reason they do not do so is they do not have the money to do so and they do not want to borrow it.

  10. Russia leave Ukraine alone.

  11. Most high-speed trains do not carry freight and do not help the economy. They are public services.

  14. Since China has gotten involved in Sri Lanka and Pakistan, both countries have gone completely bankrupt! 🤷‍♂️ 🤷‍♀️

  15.  @timtim5933  I understand. I am trying to tell you that you have the cart in front of the horse. The foundation of everything in our modern lives is cheap oil. Oil was discovered in the United States. Americans figured out how to make it into gasoline and invented refineries. Then Americans built refineries all over the world -- they discovered the oil fields in Saudi Arabia and built the refineries there. They discovered the oil fields in Siberia and built the refineries there. The Russian oil that India completely runs on comes (indirectly) from America. Everything does . . and I mean EVERYTHING. Now you want to talk about economics and politics. Explain how you could talk about economics and politics, if India had no oil? Explain how brics could make a currency without the internet? Explain how the brics summit could be held in Africa with no American-invented airplanes and no American-invented jet airplane engines. Without technology, all of the brics countries would be living in huts and eating rice 3 meals a day and would not even know there was a Europe -- it would just be a name they heard somewhere. They would not be discussing making a common currency -- they would not be discussing anything. Economics is cheap oil -- reduced transportation costs -- and reduced transaction costs. That is economics. Politics is countries who can meet and work together because TECHNOLOGY has made the world smaller and closer together. And the Americans (and Europeans) did it all. Your television was invented in America. Your microwave oven was invented in America. Your refrigerator was invented in America. Your Air conditioner was invented in America. Your transportation was invented in Europe and America. All of your plastics were invented in America. The loom that weaves your clothes was invented in America. In fact, everything you touch all day long has America stamped on it. Your entire modern life, as well as, your country's political system, is brought to you by America -- and you think brics can give you more "hope" than that?

  16. We already did. 🤷‍♂️ You are using a cellphone and internet invented in America. 🤷‍♀️

  17. There were ongoing meetings between Europe and Putin for 2 years leading up to the Russian invasion and about 5 meetings during the war. Europe did not invade Ukraine -- Russia invaded Ukraine. Stop lying about who started the war.

  18.  @zackwang9314  I am not from India and you should focus on your own collapsing economy instead of harassing your neighbors.

  19. Your analysis is wrong. NATO is not going to let Russia take over any peaceful country. NATO will take action.

  20. Chinese government behaves like a mad jealous husband who wants full control over his previous wife and cannot accept the fact that she does not love him anyone and wants to move forward with her own life.

  21. Why are we even having to talk about NATO member countries not paying their membership dues???

  25. ​ @mabvutophiri5422 "China is trying to make it with minimal help" ??? 🤷‍♂️ 🤣 😂 What about the U.S. life-support? I mean the $165 billion worth of Chinese phones and toys that Americans buy for their children every year? 🤷‍♀️ 🤣 😂

  26.  @calvinblue894  Japan also has an "internal economy." And whomever told you "tourism is up" that is not the word on the street in Shanghai. The common people are all asking "where did all of the foreigners go??" And the real estate prices have fallen 40% in 2 years. China is dead.

  27. Sorry your history is wrong. India did not need saving. It all happened in Pakistan.

  28. ​ @alanm03 Those are not "U.S. wars." That is Americans bending down to help others who are in need. What other peoples consistently do that?

  29.  @bharat8096  What do you mean saying you do not accept U.S. hegomony? You are using American computer. American smart phone. American internet. Talking on American utube video. Speaking American English. The signal is going on American satellite and American oceanic cables. Pricing things when you compare countries in American dollars. And using American-invented light bulbs in your house. I think you accepted it already. American proverb: "Actions speak louder than words"

  30. @fritzcervz6945  Russia has a military industrial complex. China has a military industrial complex. Australia has a military industrial complex. South Africa has a military industrial complex. Brazil has a military industrial complex. India has a military industrial complex. Japan has a military industrial complex. Mexico has a military industrial complex. Iran has a military industrial complex. Saudi Arabia has a military industrial complex. Yemen has a military industrial complex. Pakistan has a military industrial complex. Did you think that military industrial complex was a western phenomenon? Going by your theory, everyone in the world would want a war. 🤷

  33. Well he is right that carrots 🥕 and lettuce 🥬(or any vegetable) will not give you a burst of energy. But FRUIT 🍎 will. We eat a piece of fruit 🍇 with our meal to recover energy.

  38. Wrong. The United States is the most technologically advanced country with the largest military.

  39.  @marietheresa7866  I am an expert in geopolitics and LOGIC (which you are not). I said that I want to hear HIS OWN explanation. I honestly do not think he can explain his position and you cannot either. All day long you people believe things that you do not understand and cannot explain. This whole comment section is like sitting in an elementary school classroom.

  40.  @gsys770  I did check the reserves. 🤷‍♂️ China had $3 trillion in forex reserves in 2008. They have been spending their reserves down to pay expenses every year since then. If the Chinese government keeps burning through dollars at their current rate, they will be dead broke in the year 2028. On top of that, China has $23 trillion in bank loans to pay. That is why the facist Chinese communist party cannot do a stimulus package -- China is broke. And the United States is not "doubted" at all. Any questions? 🤷‍♀️

  41. "Observers" ??? When did you ever see a video of captured "soldiers" who had no military uniform of any kind?

  42. ​ @realrager100  We did bring a balance to the world. 🤷‍♂️ Without American investment, spending, and technology, all of the brics countries would still be surviving in abject poverty. We balanced out (somewhat) world economics. 🤷‍♀️

  46. If you are going to call a video "the story of oil," you should include the whole history. There is nothing about Rockefeller lighting American houses with oil. The story of oil does not start with fueling vehicles. Ghere is nothing about the thousands of oil wells in Texas and Oklahoma. And there is nothing about making plastics. This video should be 2.5 hours long.

  47. ​​​ @solomonblack6344 Well my friend, you are the one who is wrong. The agreement that you reference was a draft agreement that was put together by a negotiating team as a potential starting point for additional negotiations. Both Zelensky and Putin said they were not giving up any territory and they both turned down that draft agreement cold. Now you owe the guy an apology for calling him "big, big, lies." Also, it is not an "America war." So it would be nice if you would stick to the true facts when you talk about America. Thank you. 😎👍🇺🇸 ✝️

  48. ​​ @shayaldwarka7907 NATO did not start this war. Russia invaded Ukraine. Your assertion that NATO started it by expanding is absurd propaganda. I would like to hear your proof that "NATO is a tyrant. 😅😄😃🤣😂😁😀

  50. ​@Вано-о5м Freedom of speech means that you can criticize your own government without fear of reprisal. It has nothing to do with your messages.
