  1. Interested fact NASA has been using only Russian space rocket engines and space ships. since they scraped the space shuttle.

  2. Didn't just last week China declared that it will intervene if NATO goes against Russia directly. That says a lot.

  3. Something interesting I saw on YouTube. The Russians have resumed the production of big bodied civilian airliners. Currently undergoing testing.

  4. 16,000 sanctions on Russia, plus a war and still standing. There must be a miscalculation here.

  5. Russia doesn't make consumer goods. How would they sell them? Sanctions won't allow it. Russia makes strategic things. Like nuclear reactors, nuclear icebreakers, nuclear submarines. Airplanes, helicopters both military and civilian. Trucks and all kind of vehicles, military and civilian. Space ships etc.

  6. Russia, Russia, Russia.... Mark what's wrong with you? You are obsessed with that country.

  7. Most people in America can rase no more than $400 in case of emergency. But he is saying that in Boston(one of the most expensive cities in the US) you'll have$3000 left over each month. That's a crazy lie.

  8. At his last visit in Russia, the Chinese president Xi said to Putin on camera: "Changes that the world hasn't seen in hundreds of years are happening. And we are at the front of it, my friend." Let's see.

  9. 40 million people live below the poverty line in America..

  10. Oil is not gonna end. It will just become too expensive to be used for fuel.

  11.  @zulubeatz1  How would they run out of parts if they make every part for these aeroplanes. The Soviet planes had pretty good record. The Russians know how to make planes of all kind.

  12. Hey energy and food are the most important resources. Especially if you are in control of your own.

  13.  @EconLessons  You should look up something else too. The words of the Chinese president Xi to Putin during his visit in Moscow. "There are changes going on, that the world has not seen for hundreds of years. And we are leading this change my friend. " This was said on TV on purpose. I'll let you interpret it. My bet is they will succeed. The West has two choices: compete or fight a war.

  14. Trust me economic success will be less and less measured with the production of washing machines, TVs , even cars. A lot of countries can make these things now days. Not just the West anymore. The future is not Mercedes or BMW. China is the largest car exporter now.

  15. Mark are you sure you want to make this argument.? You just proved Putin's argument that Russia is always the victim of a foreign aggression.

  16.  @EconLessons  Why is it still standing?

  17.  @EconLessons  Jeffrey Sachs is a real world economists, who has been advising governments all over the world in many years.

  18. Did you just mixed science with science fiction?

  19. Yes Russia never was and is not to this day developed like the west. And yet the west never managed to take over and colonize Russia. I don't know how to explain this. "A riddle wrapped in a mystery inside an enigma. " Churchill had the intellectual honesty to say it.

  20. No. They are the same. Peter Zeihan just knows how to make more money.

  21.  @ultonian63  I see some westerners from USA, Canada, UK, Australia...etc, having You Tube channels from Russia. They have moved there. Mostly farmers. I don't know how life in Russia is, but from what I see is definitely not what this guy is describing.

  22. The two tools you are comparing are apples and oranges. One is made of ticker steel, the other is made of a thin steel sheet, because it cuts in a different way.

  23. Brother if what you are doing is propaganda, I understand. But if you are trying to make a serious analysis, your arguments are ridiculous.

  24. Not a Bot. The problem is that you are deceiving your viewers.

  25. Jeffrey Sachs, Richard Wolf, Michael Hudson all world renowned economists on one side and on the other side you have this guy ,making videos out of a swamp. You the viewer be the judge.

  26. I don't know where you get this about Russian invincibility. But there is something else. The symbol of Russia is the Phoenix. It always rises from the ashes.

  27. You call going to Disney a great life? That speaks a lot about intellectual level man. Unsubscribe.

  28. 360 bln. Drop in a bucket for the US economy.

  29. Many geopolitical analysts say that China is the real adversary, not Russia and we should make friends with Russia against China. Is that so? First of all Russia is not interested in such an offer anymore. Too little, too late. Second Russia is the only country that can destroy us in about 30 minutes. Not China.

  30. Russia does not need to be and will never be like the West.
    2
  31. It's very simple. With $350bln Russia can produce, lets say10 times the military hardware than any western country. So numbers can be relative.

  32. You are wasting your breath again. No one will argue Novosibirsk has a higher standard of life than Boston. You make no point. The question is: will Russia survive the economic and kinetic war?
    2
  33. You are impressed because you don't know any better. Go check Richard Wolf or Michael Hudson. This guy is middle school level. Fitting for you?

  34. Mark you need to look at the big picture. Not like some moldy accountant, buried in interest rates and growth, can't see further than the next quarter.

  35. This guy is obsessed with Russia. Why? Don't we have our own problems here in the west?

  36. Glad you mentioned the Hunger Games. The most idiotic idea ever to come out of Hollywood. It speaks of your level too.

  37.  @barryhamm3414  They don't say much usually. So there is no word inflation there.

  38. Why are you so obsessed with Russia?

  39. China is investing all over the world. Building railways, ports, airports etc. You call that a regional power?

  40. I agree, big changes are coming. Like BRICS + getting bigger and bigger. Already bigger than G7.

  41. The war is between Russia and the West. Ukraine is just a proxy.
    2
  42. It should be a colony of yours then.

  43. When you think of Russia, you need to take into account the Russia-China aliance. What the west tried to prevent happening between Russia and Germany, has happened between Russia and China.

  44. The IMF just declared the top three countries for economic growth for the next year: China, India and Russia. Don't know who to believe.

  45. Russia and the combined West are up against each other in a geopolitical struggle. Economics certainly play a major role, but not so much between Russia and USA. Economic war is and will be more between China and USA.

  46. I think you have the typical Polish inferiority compl ex towards Russia and You Tube is a therapy for you.

  47. You get it all wrong. Without Russia, China would not be that embolden and would just continue to play it's role in the west dominated world order. Russia with or without China will go do the same thing anyway. It's Russia that is leading the rebellion. China is just taking advantage of that. Thats why we are in a proxy war with Russia.

  48. China already made up its mind. You are a little behind in time.

  49.  @EconLessons  To strike who, what and where? When was the last time China invaded a foreign country? China projects power trough investment and development of other countries. As of Taiwan even we recognize it as a part of China.

  50. Hello , changes are already happening. Just not the ones you expect. The wind has changed. It's blowing from East now.
