  2. The scary thing is that trump is talking about withdrawing support from south Korea.

  4. ​ @actionjksn trump had a trillion dollar tax cut which added straight to debt. 90 percent went to millionaire and will be payed back by working class and middle class. Note that is one trillion every year. Has ben. Running for seven years which is 7 trillion of debt.

  5. Australian wheat is not highly productive but they cultivate a large area.

  6.  @k.v.7681  Ukraine is moving in right direction with corruption. Main reason Zelensky and so many new representatives were elected.

  7. Ireland is climbing the value tree. They are among mist productive and high earners in Europe.

  11. There were not and are not huge opportunities. Medium sized country that can't cut better deals than the EU. Happy to hear specifics of opportunities. UK is high spending social country similar to most of Europe and different to most of world. America doesn't need a deal. China is a risk of being a bad ally. Africa? Not a huge fan of EU but in is better than out.

  12. Sparse population doesn't justify roads. Grain us heavy and trains make sense even in north America

  13. Peter is wrong about financial centre declining. They are still the main financial centre for Europe. I remember Brexit campaign going on about how the Europeans had it in for uk. If this was true they would have closed down the eurobond market and really hurt uk. They realised that better to work with some thing that benefits all.
    6
  14.  @ronarnett4811  depends on the opponent. Korea is too small to fight of china and North Korea. Therefore result would be another democracy gone and china much richer and more powerful. Korea already spends a lot on defense and is not shirking their responsibility. Another way of looking at it is when USA fights china they want Korea as allies instead of being on the other side. If course none of this matters if USA wants to go completely isolationist. Cheers

  15. Last year Ukraine was on the front foot since then support has been cut and ukrayis hanging in there. Double last year's support and Ukraine will make goid progress Currently they lack ammunition and completely outmatched in the air.

  20. ​ @homerj806 mist drones are plastic and foam and hard to detect Normally metal is needed when you get big and heavy. New drones may be visible. However if they cause Sam's to fly that is good.

  21. Europe ship has sailed. Nothing to discuss in this election. I don't feel that optimistic about UK. Economic slide for a decade. Not a lot you can do to fix. There is little room for manoeuvre. Best you can hope is that the government stops making major mistakes And starts reskilling the workforce
    4
  22. F16s needed to remove Russian gbad, artillery and radar. Needed so that Ukrainians can advance. Problem is that this needs years of training. Even NATO would find taking out russian gbad a major challenge.

  23. Belarus will go west eventually. The last election the west parties won and military stepped in. Baltic states with Belarus to the south are not so isolated

  24. Bottleneck in military terms

  39. ​ @extrememiami agree USA needs to go soft and Cuban will not be able to stay the same with people accessing the west. Reward good behaviour and not bad. Next generation of Cuban politicians are key. Lins the old guard of line Gorbachev.

  40. Saudi is biggest economy and influencer because if oil wealth. Without oil wealth it doesn't have much. Aramco is successful but Saudi has huge numbers of expat experts. Agree that USA as disrupter is crazy. Why would USA disrupt the world.
    3
  41. Europe had already had a winter of huge energy prices. Didn't crack
    3
  42. Politically difficult but economically rational would be to let Russian crude back on the market. The volume would increase and the price would drop. This would cut Russian profit. Europe could pay a 20£ per barrel tax which could go straight to Ukraine . This would knock that amount of the price that Russia would get

  43. Israel

  44. There are a lot of things Peter skated over. However interesting thought exercise. Pathway would be blue Texas in a dozen years which is pissibl. This removes Florida leverage.

  45. Baltic states already Europe in their heads.

  46. The Saudis tried to break the shale industry and half succeeded.they bankrupted lots of companies. However when prices rose afterwards shake production started again with new companies.saudi grip is broken.
    3
  47. Talks are early days. Mainly about Russia withdrawing to one part of country without further violence. Apart from that Russia would have to offer huge amount to get to stay. Maybe a transit port for military suppliesvwouldvbevnax.

  48. For optics Guyana should continue to be supported by UK. UK may need backup. Maybe other Europe country. Europe would love Guyana oil to replace Russian oil. ​ @squireson

  50. ​ @TheVeritas2100 this is more a hatchet job than factual m EU dies not have more bureau rats than USA. Vast majority of soendinysnd tax raising in ei is with individual countries. EU has much less power than anti EU people portray. USA has finananciynechanusmsbfir transfers from rich to poor states itherwydollar would rip apart. Normally federal spending ysuallyin military.

  51. You can go for specific to general argument. The greek guy is entertaining but weak on alternative

  52. Boring but that is what is required. Meetings people meetings people.. Biden could do this evenwhen became a poor debater. Trump can talk all day but cannot read a brief or work with people.

  53. I think fairly commonly accepted that west is providing enough support to prevent Russian victory with causing Russia to collapse. Difficult balance.

  54. He has covered in videos. Chinas problem is getting old before getting rich. Average Chinese is poor. Old people are not consumers.

  55. Unfortunately the ordinance will be restricted and argued over for a long time The west doesn't want to panic Russia

  56. Biden not running.

  57. ​ @HankSemoreButz your first statement was opposite if Occam's razor. You expanded entities instead of reducing. Occam's razor would say Limited information,mixed contradictory info on party , therefore probably not party political but we will know more in a few days.
    2
  58. UK has 1.4 million immigrants in last few years and a labour shortage. Problem is that the immigrants have lost percentage of workers compared to those from EU.

  59. Other commentators agree. Peter is more extreme and simplified but same gist

  79. ​ @joeanonimous1105 Saudi and a few other big Arab producers can flex . Russia brought to knees decades ago when Saudi opened the taps.
    2
  80. Xi would be crazy to engage in shooting war. Suspect he is hoping to grab Taiwan without the USA intervene. This is a good reason to support Ukraine. If Putin wins then ci us encouraged. Us spending a trillion dollars in anti china military in next decade. Note USA

  81. World needs Russian oil and therefore no embargo. The price cap us way if reducing Russian profit which is the next best thing.
    2
  82. Iberia is good Portuguese made an early start. However Spain soon joined them as a deep water power. Europe America Pacific they sailed. UK caught up but was a while before they could carry the tonnage. They started small with privateering and slavery.
    2
  83. All these things became demoted as economy became finance and offshoring. Hopefully as economy becomes more manufacturing more resources will be directed into those areas

  90. Germany didn't have a nearby source if cheap labour to shift manufacturing. Japan is within a few hundred miles of countries witwith potential h manufacturing

  91. Did you make that up or are you reading weird

  96. ​ @MarcosElMalo2 Mississippi doesn't have high end only low end. Not enough highly educated and skilled people. Nothing to attract them from elsewhere. Not growing their own.

  97. Good point that is a powerful lobby. Lobby that made USA turn cirn to ethanol using natural gas.
    2
  98. Ireland UK trade is massive. Ireland is redirecting to Europe via new port facilities on the south coast. The challenge is to rebalance quick enough. The major problem occurs if UK unlinks from Europe in a major fashion. Would they be crazy enough to do that?
    2
  99. Mexico is moving towards Argentina politics. Populist but ryn countryinto ground.

  100. Stick a sock on it
    2
  101. Azerbaijan has oil and is wealthy. They can buy arms and allies
    2
  102. Strange as it seems. USA is set up to refine Venezuela oil and export cracked oil to refinery in Europe.
    2
  103. Still not self sufficient. Problem is that jobs go to Toadies and not competent . Saudi now has 18 million people mostly unemployed. Many are unqualified and only accept execyjobs.
    2
  104. ​ @TheLocoUnion oil companies hav evlobbied hard to sell us oil oversea instead of keeping USA energy secure. UK exported oil wealth to maximize profig an. Now had to import most of energy. Think ov oil in the ground as strategic reserves

  110. Main holdup for aid is faction of republicans. Not a biden thing.
    2
  111. ​ @Milkman740 almost no country can spend 5%on miliyand not go bankrupt. 5% us a pick a fight number. Europe spending 2% overall which was always the ,2024 target. There will a lag before Europe up to strength but that is not a budget thing. Europe can defeat Russia at current spending. French and UK are much bigger budgets than Russia. Also Ukraine has destryhalf the armour If Ukraine was giving 0.5% of GDP spending they would cripple Russian army . This would be cheaper than massively spending on Europe military.
    2
  112. Maga policy I'm big you're small.
    2
  113. McGregor has been wrong so many times that his speculation is not trusted. Ukraine is winning the war. However they are winning slowly and it will take years. No huge breakthroughs. The major risk to Ukraine is that the west stops providing supplies. Economically it makes sense for the Ukrainians to destroy the Russian army at relatively low cost. Politically not popular if it drags on
    2
  114. There may be a recruitment problem when young people don't believe in what country gas done. They may think that iraq and Afghanistan were not good wars for US to fight
    2
  115. Pretty sure he said difficult and they would have to build refineries. America refinery is aimed at Caribbean and predates shale oil.
    2
  116. ​@oceanlikactuaeteachr Geography not to bad. Iraq and Lebanon not major threat. Israel hoping will back off if peace signed. Turkey with hatred of Kurds big problem.

  117. ​ @worndown8280 Argentina has everything it needs to be prosperous apart from decent governance.
    2
  118. Maybe a single country. However it you tariff mist of the world they will trade more together and less with America. America will still buy Europe stuff even at 25%, tariff. I think Europe should zero tariff American cars as Europe won't buy anyway. What trump is not saying is that LL volume Europe models are made in USA.
    2
  119. Not labour. Highly technical with huge scientific education. Part of restoring is having smart hard working people working in engineering. For the last few decades it made more personal sense to drop engineering and work in finance and real estate. Much better paid and less risk of your job going to China

USA can grant some trade for some concessions. Justice system. Small businesses. Cubansccan get prosperous outside nation use industry Bit like China. National industry is failed.

  192. Us democracy is disfunctional. The candidates thevvoters would lije to vote for are not able to run. A solution is to have a ballot with a party vote and a candidate vote. Voters then get to pick which party wins the seat and which candidate from that party. However no reason for current representatives to chance the system. I suspect this would not change what party wins elections but woukd finallybget some new blood. 90% of representatives have zero chance of losing their seatd currently. That is the same as no election in that much of the country
