You guys really need to find someone that is familiar with the subject before commenting like this. None of the statements made are valid. The USAF stunt with the F-15X could also be a....(snip all my previous comments) Oh wait, Bloomberg...never mind. Carry on with your F-15 in Vietnam stories. You guys are doing great! Ha ha! Subject Matter Experts at Bloomberg have opined folks.

Your summary of history is highly lacking and places the middle class workers in the position of policy makers and lobbyists, which is 100% in accurate. Gen X

If you believe China's death toll numbers, might I remind you about their steel futures numbers scam. Garbage-in, garbage-out.

Statists: “It’s because the people are too stupid to continue to vote for a centrist-leftist establishment government, so they’re only left with the extreme margins." (no mention of mass immigration destroying the proud French culture, language, and society). Nice Bloomberg spin attempt, but nobody but insulated academics is buying that.

Real estate is never crap, especially now with high demand and low supply.

Most people in the US haven't even heard about this event, including guys in the military.

Exact opposite is true. Imagine the Middle East right now with Uday or Qusay in charge of Iraq. Obama certainly destabilized it with his encouragement of the Arab Spring, but he's connected with the Muslim Brotherhood, so that's to be expected. He even had MB in his cabinet.

Just Me: You realize the US de-conflicted with the Russian liaison to make sure no Russians were in that area, right? Russian liaison said, "No, we don't have anyone there. It's not us." These guys were mercenaries given a suicide mission with no air support, not that F-22 would allow you to have air support anyway. Turns out a lot of them were in Donbas too, with support from back channels of the Kremlin. Slavonic volunteer Battalions, armed with tanks, APCs, artillery, communications, engineer units to build the pontoon bridge, etc.

Sean Steel: What was Assad doing building a covert nuclear program without announcement to the IAEA, with the help of North Korea and Iran?

Just Me: Why would American soldiers be fair game if they de-conflicted with the Russian liaison to make sure no Russians were in the area? The Kremlin or whoever was leading and ordering those guys left them out to dry, that's for sure. They even said it themselves, at least their surviving commanders did. The whole thing stinks, and their blood is on Russia's hands, not the US's.

Ross K: Good luck getting past US Air Power. So far, nobody has even come close. Russian fighters in Ukraine included conventional units. There were soldiers who took selfies of themselves and posted them online, covering their travels in Russia, to the staging area just over the border, to their operations inside Ukraine. It's there for anyone to see. They did it themselves. What do you think would happen to 50,000 Chechen volunteers, if Russia figured out how to feed, water, house, and supply them (hint: Russia can't even do that for their own forces.). They would just be slaughtered like dogs in a matter of hours/days. The US has a very small presence in Syria with advisors and some SOF units, embedded with the Kurds. Northeastern Syria is Kurdish territory and protected by the most superior air assets the world has ever known. Again, good luck. Chechens have already been taking the US on in Iraq. We hunted them down like dogs and shot them in the face where they slept when we located their cells. Move all the S-300 and S-400 IADS into Syria you want. More opportunities to show how far Russian tech has fallen back compared to US SEAD capabilities. If you're Australian, then you should know that the US and Australia are some of the tightest allies on the planet, and the US supplies Australia with the most advanced technology, weapons, and training opportunities. What kind of Australian openly supports Russia agains the US, while spelling his basic words incorrectly?

Strizhi: The "lightly armed mercenaries" had 2 Battalions of Armor with T-72s and APCs, heavy artillery pieces, and an engineer unit to build the pontoon bridge. They fired on US positions with the artillery, which is why they were targeted with PGMs for 6 hours until tiny pieces were all that was left over.

The US is one of the biggest oil producers, and the largest oil refiner in the world without peer. Why would the US want Syrian oil? The real reason is that Assad was building a covert nuclear program without announcement to the IAEA in 2007, with help from Iran and North Korea. Why would Assad build a plutonium reactor on the Euphrates and not tell anyone?

The F-15 was not used in Vietnam. These people are completely clueless about what they are talking about.

The world's largest wheat exporter just invaded the 5th largest wheat exporter, with their prime markets in ME and North Africa. That has nothing to do with US QE.

@joshsch1331 You didn't define the last generation, but I think you meant baby boomers. We're 3 generations past baby boomers with Gen X, Millennials, and Gen Z. Boomers constituted a very diverse workforce and socioeconomic strata with a lot of economic mobility. The factory workers were the GI and Silent generations before them. A good resource to study would be The Fourth Turning by Strauss and Howe. Boomers had all sorts of jobs ranging from the mundane to the advanced aerospace, telecom, and computer industries. Many invested in real estate. Their biggest challenge wasn't economic, but family, as they had significantly higher rates of fathers and mothers working to finance larger homes, while neglecting their Gen X children. Divorce rates and broken homes increased, with many children basically being raised between the public schools and bouncing between visitation with parents that didn't have time for them anyway. Through societal programming with TV, people were conditioned through repetition and marketing to buy more and bigger things they didn't need, while sacrificing a stable home and family life. Gen X continued this madness, with limited connection to their parents since they felt abandoned. Many boomers ended up raising their millennial grandchildren in the wake of Gen X divorces, so millennials have a natural distrust of the prior generations, while being more friendly with their hands-off Gen X parents. These generational dynamics drive much of the underlying currents in the US and Anglo nations. This pattern is not new, and has repeated itself for hundreds of years in a cycle according to Strauss-Howe. The politics follow that, even with the global elites and their children.

@joshsch1331 Regarding middle class laborers in post-war era: GM in Detroit expanded production, and many military-industrial factories across the US transitioned to domestic commercial and retail production in the 1950s, especially to support the new urbanization and transportation models based around suburbia. Japan rose in their industrial might by setting 10yr plans, and adopting more efficient production models that were proposed in the US, but rejected by the big 4 auto makers. The US bolstered Japanese and South Korean industrial capacity to keep China in check, even after Nixon opened China as a hedge against Russia during the Cold War.

@joshsch1331 The US was the main contributor to rebuilding Europe and Japan after WWII. We spent billions in helping other nations rise from the rubble and re-gain their statuses, Italy included.

@joshsch1331 Swing and miss. God bless you in these interesting times.
