  1. He has pretty lengthy discussions on US debt, where he is not an alarmist like everyone else. There are precious few economists who have studied US and foreign markets like he and his teams have.

  2. I lived in Russia and truly experienced what felt like traveling back in time to a place and history everyone forgot. It's extremely primitive, with dashes of industrial revolution sprinkled here and there on dark, frozen, isolated and landlocked land mass with almost no connection to the trade routes.

  3. Chernobyl already had reactor #1 partially melt down in 1982 if I recall. They kept it secret and the facility was constantly poorly-run until 1986 when the incident happened with #4.

  4. Putin was temporarily satisfied with finally getting his puppet, Yanukovych into the Presidency, who then began Russifying Ukrainian government with Donbas region ethnic Russians and then signing onto the Russia-Eurasia Economic Pact. That triggered the Euromaiden protests and the ousting of Yanukovych. 79% of Ukrainians wanted to normalize regular trade with the Eurozone and grow their economy like Poland has been able to do (600% growth in Poland since the end of USSR). But you start to see why Putin and Russians are very uneasy about Ukraine being independent and economically-energized while Russia becomes more isolated.

  5. So it looks like someone is censoring your response. I can see it in my notifications, but when I click on it....nothing. It’s not there. It looks like you said something about my experience with "going back in time" in Russia. Maybe you could re-post so I can see what you actually said. I think YouTube censors any posts with links automatically.

  6. ​ @chrisc2671  There have been career petroleum engineers and technicians who have responded in the comments explaining the details, challenges, and solutions to keeping permafrost oil heads winterized. Peter is informed by decades of industry-specific research and contact in that space, including funded white papers for those industries.
