  1. I'm from Serbia. It would be the height of stupidity for us to join the EU in the face of a clear, economically much more powerful alternative such as BRICS, that respects the sovereignty of its members. The EU is in rapid and irreversible decline, having shot itself in the head in ganging up on Russia, whose inexpensive energy products and whose market it can't hope to replace.

  2. Those 800+ military bases in fireign countries sure cost a lot....

  3. And nobody booed her, nobody broke out in guffaws at Ursula's barefaced lie about "cheaper" LNG from the US.

  4. For the algorithm. Let's push back against YT censorship.

  5. The BBC and The Guardian are offering their journalists special psychological support and therapy as they deal with the shock of the Trump win. I kid you not.

  6. 40+ years as a Serb in Canada. Soon to bid it goodbye. 🙂

  9. Lena deserves a million subscribers and more. Excellent guests and first-class financial and economic analysis by Ms Petrova herself.

  10. ​ @thomasjensen6243  Be patient. It won't be long now, and we all have Israel to thank for what's coming.

  11. The problem was Germany chose to deprive itself of that which had underwritten its economic success: reliable, cheap and plentiful Russian gas for its industries and its consumer energy needs. It knew perfectly well that it had relied on it for the past 60 years and that without it, there would never have been the German economic miracle that took off once it began buying oil and gas from the Soviets. Instead of charting its own foreign and geopolitical policy as a sovereign state, it let itself be led by its nose by the US (and Brussels, also subservient to Washington).

  12. I wouldn't mind the US being a great nation (no bully is a great man) if it just minded its own business, closed down the 800+ military bases it has around the world, and began practicing fair trading relations with the rest of the world. Since the American public shows absolutely no inclination to force their ruling class to adopt these policies, I can only pray the end of US power comes sooner rather than later.

  13. Criminally insane, yes.

  14. That's what de-dollarization is all about.

  15. How about the rest of the population helping them?

  16. We'll have to fight the fight and not just depend on the farmers to do it for us.

  17. And Putin has a Ph.D. in economics (for real).

  18. Don't forget Ursula von der Leyen, Joseph Borrell, and Jans Stoltenberg.

  19. This is all about preserving the Empire, and it won't work. I wouldn't mind the US being a great nation (no bully is a great man) if it just minded its own business, closed down the 800+ military bases it has around the world, and began practicing fair trading relations with the rest of the world. Since the American public shows absolutely no inclination to force their ruling class to adopt these policies, I can only pray the end of US power comes sooner rather than later.

  20. Inefficiency is grounds enough.

  22. Her age doesn't enter into it. She's been fudging things for years now, deliberately.

  23. BRICS will have its own regulations, though none of the silly bureaucratic ones about the acceptable length of carrots, for example, and it already has some political conditions for joining it. To illustrate: no country may join BRICS if it engages in any sanctions regimes against other BRIC members.

  24. ​ @salvadorpeters7375  You have to find a way to force your oligarchs into giving up the obscene rates of profit they got used to over the past 30-40 years. Once upon a time, corporate tax rates were as high as 90%. It's doable.

  25. I don't think that recession equals economic collapse. Germany is certainly in a recession, but it's a huge exaggeration to say that its economy has collapsed.

  26. France and Italy aren't doing zilch to harm or contain Germany. It's an entirely American project.

  28. How does one prepare for this? What options do we have? What can we do to prepare for this?

  29. Eventually, yes. I just hope that it won't come all at once, so that people can get used to the new reality gradually and adjust.

  30. He has a doctorate in social work. None of his degrees is in economics.

  31. Slovakia, too, most probably. Possibly Bulgaria also, within the next 10 years.

  33.  @michaelearlgrey  English is not his native tongue. It's perfectly clear he means their sovereignty, their sovereign rights to chart their own geopolitical and foreign, as well as their own energy policy.

  36. Imagine the tax revenue if they taxed the US corporations doing business there.

  37. They really should. Or, offer to sell their gas to Europe at 5% less than the cost of the American LNG.

  38. ​ @tadhgcronin175 The war and the sanctions have, paradoxically, strengthened Russia, not weakened it. And I for one am very glad of that.

  39. The people are not the problem.

  41. In Ontario, Canada, houses selling for under $1 million are considered starter homes. Rents, in towns and cities of over 200,000, are so high that young people are sharing apartments with strangers in order to be able to afford shelter (living 5-6 in 2-3 bedroom apartments). A few months ago, our intelligence services submitted a report to our government, warning of social unrest in the coming 5 years or so due to high costs of living and especially high costs of housing. The report assesses that the majority of Canadian youth will never own a home of their own.

  42. That's quite separate from the system for making payments, which this is about. BRICS has repeatedly said that it won't be developing a new currency to be used in general circulation and for everyday transactions, but it's still interested in creating a new, gold or commodities-backed currency which would be used only for country-to-country trade and transactions.

  43. ​ @CURTISEDWARDS-i3l  An interesting understanding of democracy.

  44. Yes, but much less and at a much higher price than it enjoyed before it decided to be unfriendly to Russia.

  45. ​ @jayceontalylor4244 By blindly obeying the US and destroying the excellent trading relations they enjoyed with the unquestionably most advantageous energy supplier Germany's ever had.

  46. The MSM are doing their job exactly as intended. We are meant to be kept in the dark about these developments.

  47. That's a joke, a bit of sarcasm, right?

  49. You mean the West is. And yes, the world understands just how evil the collective West is.
