The Federal system is the best path for Europe, Imagine if Italy wants to make Marijuana legal but Finland does not. The Federal system allows for each to make their own local laws based on local population desires, and also have a unified central Government on top to share resources for better and more powerful military, and decision making, foreign relations, taxation, centralized spending on infrastructure that connects all of the EU together. Imagine if EU was able to collect EU wide taxes and fund big highway expansion to connect EU countries better. Just look at how bad the roads are connecting Czechia to Germany, let alone the rest of the EU, this leads to lack of efficiency, if you want to increase the economic power of Europe the easiest way is to pool resources for common goal to build faster, better connected EU. Less differences of taxes and cross border issues. Open the doors.

The USA is not like USSR, the USA is one country of the same people. USSR was many different countries that split apart, the culture, language were all different, way of life, were totally different. The USA is one very unified country, the social issues in the USA are very old they have been around for 250 years so nothing new. If the USA did not split up with a civil war in 1860s there is no reason to do so now when the country is 1000% more unified. Even a state like Texas is about 50-50 split between left and right. IN fact the differences between right and left in the USA are very small, both sides support Ukraine, both sides want to industrialize, both sides want tariffs on China, both sides are much more similar then people think. You can find many of the top topics that are the same between Kamala and Trump, they are not arguing if to make changes but to what extent. The USA has less poverty then most countries only 11% of the USA is below poverty this is 20% in UK and 16% in Germany and 15% in Russia. The USA also has less homeless then most of Europe. There is 2x more homeless in UK then in the USA. And the USA has the best preforming economy holding the world together while China has major weakness. The political issues in the USA are not new, the USA had major protests in 1960s-70s with Vietnam war and the USA had leader assasins in the past like JFK. This is nothing new.

What happened was the transformation of the USA from manufacturing economy to services, financial and high tech economy and while this has lead to the USA having the largest GDP of any country since then, it also left anyone who could only do manual labor behind. Many black communities like Harlem, Detroit, Baltimore were a manufacturing core and this change badly impacted them. Race riots, protests, drugs, crime at least in part came from this change of the US economy. Since the 1990s Factories have been modernized, consolidated and moved to rural areas where they can at least be competitive, and that actually benefited blacks who were/are today living in rural areas like in Alabama and Georgia where today many large factories are located. Some of the black communities in Harlem left to where the jobs moved like in the South in Alabama and Georgia but others got left behind and had to endure very hard times in a place like Harlem. As property prices increased in NYC and immigrants from all over the world flooded in for new opportunities the parts of the city revitalized for a new life. Keep in mind that this is not unique to the USA, countries all over Europe and after the fall of the USSR again in Europe went through a similar change but each country and community is different.

VERY IMPORTANT - American slogans, topics, strife, struggles are over the battle between the 50 States and the Central/Federal Government. This does not exist in the UK at all, in fact the UK in many ways is lacking regional government for example inside England there are only counties which are very limited in power to manage their local area, unlike in the USA which is ultra regionalized with 50 States and counties inside of that with large amount of regionalized rule making. The American struggle over freedom of our time is a struggle between the US People, the localized counties, the 50 states and the central Government all playing against each other. Republican states want to make as much of their own laws as possible like Abortions recently ending a national legal standing and send it to each state to make their own laws instead, or on the Democrat side making some hard substances legal. But you also have Republican majority counties inside Democrat states that want to make their own laws different from the state, and vise-versa. This is the real modern American struggle that is totally lost over the Atlantic. Not all slogans are lost of course, like the topic of de-industrialization which has been very similar in both countries and a lot of other topics.

@robertevans2450 Vietnam was very different, you clearly do not know any history or you would know that France had colonized Vietnam as their colony and invaded to take back control after WW2, but when the Soviet Union invested, armed and trained the forces in Vietnam fighting against France the USA saw the war against Communism risk another nation falling under it's power and so it joined with France, and as France was near collapse the USA took over and France bailed out. It was not that we went on some random expedition in foreign lands but we were taking action to defend American interests, Alaska was at risk of Russian invasion, and Russia had nukes pointing at you. This was a live or die situation but after 20 years of war and with China joining the USA and opening up to the west and world trade, the balance changed and the USA no longer needed to be involved. Keep in mind after the USA left Vietnam just 4 years later, China invaded Vietnam as well as part of their cold war with the Soviet Union after the split. Vietnam had invaded China's ally Cambodia and with the risk of Russia invading China from both Siberia and Vietnam at the same time, China took action and invaded. It did not end well as China lost some 20,000 men in just a few weeks of battle. The USA lost 60,000 but after 20 years....

Let me explain something to everyone here. The USA cost of manpower went up in 1970s it hit $20,000 and now it is over $60,000, it became too expensive to use Americans to make AFFORDABLE goods so prices exploded up with major inflation, much much worse then the last 3 years. If Trump places 100% tariffs or 10% tariffs this will NOT it will NOT bring manufacturing back to the USA unless you make Americans willing to work for pennies on the Dollar which is not going to happen. So what is the outcome of Trump's Tariffs??? EVERYTHING You buy at Wal Mart or Ama zon or any store will go up in price 10% 100% whatever the tariff is and make YOUR life cost more.
Will that bring jobs to the USA???? NO, of course not, Americans income level is too expensive then cost of goods will go up 300%. Look at the cost of SNAP ON tools, check the price difference. You will be FORCED to buy Snap On. So you will own way way way way less stuff, even if you really need it you might no longer be able to afford it. Trump will FORCE you to buy Snap On even if it means owning like 5 tools instead of hundreds of tools made in China or Japan or Vietnam or India.
This is NOT how trade works. Trump will BREAK the USA, he will Damage your quality of life.
Trump will only make the situation in this country WORSE. Just like how Ronald Regan made the USA worse by shutting down the Commercial ship building industry becasue we had to pay subsidy for every ship built, but guess what? France, Japan, China, they all pay subsidy for every ship built, it's always like that in history, but we in the USA lost ship building industry that had like 10 million workers all gone because of Ronald Regan wanted to let the "free Market" dictate who wins and loses so the USA lost a critical industry.

Very interesting in terms of the strategic defense. Due to the terrain of Malaysia at the time, I think a winning strategy on land would require very very large amount of defensive forts, and multiple layers of artillery and AA guns as well as high quality wide roads crisscrossing the island and large quick response motorized armies would be needed at central points rather than spread out along the coasts, but the area was just far too undeveloped on every factor for this to happen. The local population I think was also an issue, people were overall struggling to survive on a daily basis let alone to rise up to defend their own land which might not have been a priority for many reasons, the treatment by the British, the lack of self identity due to being under foreign rule, lack of education and world perception at the time. This is very different today of course, just the aspect of self identity today would be an incredible force and lead to determination to defend a homeland, this just wasn't the case under British rule, at least not anywhere near the extent it is today.

When people know they are the good guys they fight to the end and like hell - no better example than Ukraine VS Russia. A pretty weak army managed to fight back and win against the world's #2 army and largest land army by far. If Canada ever had an armed conflict with the USA, it is Canada that would be the good guys and so they will win too. Why? Because true patriotic Americans who make good solders and fight like hell would NEVER take part in that, and so the army would be invading Canada with losers, morons, idiots, and people forced to fight who are not invested in the war = American would lose the war.
No matter what odds, no matter how many tanks and airplanes, the USA would lose because the Patriotism and true willingness to fight would be absolutely on the Canadian side. Russia lost 20,000 TANKS, that is WW2 level against a country of rag tag made up units managed to destroy it ALL. How? Because they had the willingness to do so. Just like Canada would have. So the USA would never win and so Canada no matter what, will NEVER be the 51st state no by economic war and not even by actual armed conflict. Not happening. So we in the USA need to chill out, and forget the 51st state bullshit because it will never happen. Not in 2025 and not in the year 3000, forget it.

The problem with tariffs is that it raises the price on every America for every single item you buy that is imported and yet most of the goods you buy CANNOT be made in the USA due to the high cost of manpower, if you were to see the price of an American made product you simply WOULD NOT BUY IT. Do you own only Snap On tools in your home? When you need to repair your car do you only buy OEM parts from the dealer?? No it would too much. Tariffs will make it so every American can buy less = fall in quality of life.
I am 100% for American made goods and I do think we need Tariffs on what China makes that competes with American made goods but not a TOTAL FLAT OUT Tariff on everything, even for things we do not make here, that will just lower our quality of life. Tariffs need to be strategic and selective not flat out on everything.
Last thing, when we import goods made in other countries we send INFLATION abroad, we reduce our inflation, but if we import less and make more stuff in the USA we will 1000000% deal with higher inflation for longer, much much higher for much much longer, and so we will all suffer from the damage of higher inflation. This is why Ronald Regan opened up the USA to the world market, it lost American industry but finally ended 30 years of inflation trap and sent us in to the best years of the USA 1990s - When you buy some item made in another country you send them our inflation and excess money supply = lower inflation. Now it is true that inflation was too low from 2008 to 2018 that is when we SHOULD have raised tariffs to raise inflation. But now with 2% inflation long-term outlook, it's not that time.

It will also hit every thing you buy, Almost all potatoes, onions, corn, huge amount of fruit and veg is grown in Idaho, Oregon, Montana, Washington and it all depends on Canada for natural gas to produce fertilizer so expect HUUUGE price hikes and shortages. If farmers can't get fertilizer the fields go dead. I don't think people realize the impact that is coming. Prepare for major Food price hikes across the USA and Canada, fast food, restaurants, everything, and price hikes on fuel, diesel that will hike all transport prices. Every item in the store has to be trucked in and that is going to cost a lot more. If inflation really explodes and we have shortages then expect the FED to hike interest rates that will make housing cost much more and cars too and growth will slow down. This is a major economic damage for no reason, the leader of Canada already resigned and they have elections in a few months when the right wing stands to win..... So why a tariff war now?

That is false - the rate impact depends on the level of costs and debt, right now the USA has way way wayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy more debt and higher costs than in the 1980s or 1990s so need to be very careful to know and realize the impact of the higher rates. The economy is normalized to about 2.5% rate and we are now at 4.5% so the pressure is there right now about 2% above the economies expected rate. Americans are buying homes expecting the rate to fall in the future. The US Government is banking on lower interest costs. The FED is on a rate cutting cycle. So this is the problem here. On paper the outcome will be a recession and than the FED can cut the rate. This is also what Trump is banking on every bit of his policy is cheaper debt. We are indeed, right now, in a high rate environment by all the players and pieces of the puzzle. If you vestedinterest2021 has become normalized to 4.5% rate OK nice of you to take that on, but the US economy is not normalized at all.
So there will be a showdown between the US population debt levels and prices VS the FED VS the President VS the willing ness to keep accumulating new debts. If American people decide enough is enough, no new debt, slowdown in consumption and begin paying off existing debts, then you get a recession and the entire board gets re-shuffled back to Mean. The entire USA gets a reversion to mean by a recession and then can play out from there the usual, Dollar weakens, exports gain, GDP rises, and out of the recession we go. The trick is that Trump is trying to get this done now in 2025 before the mid terms but a lot of forces are working against him, raising inflation will weaken GDP but may boost consumption as Americans begin buying stuff in expectation of higher costs in the future - so Trump ends up pushing the Recession out in to the future risking the mid-terms in 2026.

@tommygravel5653 Trump has no idea how they work - American companies assemble cars in the USA but the parts, the electronics, wiring, engine and transmission parts, batteries, they are NOT made here, they are all imported and we can't just start making them here out of the blue. It takes many many years to develop parts and some cannot be made here as the cost of manpower is too expensive like electric wiring and electronics modules are way too expensive to make here so you end up doing what? Creating a shortage of supply = inflation. Not just new cars but existing used cars will no longer be repairable without the parts so they will explode in price as well and no one wins from higher prices. The economy slows down, people in the trade are kicked out, fewer people get to own and drive cars so their life is disrupted and all for what? Becasue the trade balance is negative? We in the USA print money, and hand it to other countries for resources and goods. Printing green paper is free, endless, but the hard work of people and limited supply of resources pulled out of the ground is priceless. A trade deficit is win-win. We buy stuff from around the world for just giving them paper for it. We win. Why ruin it?

If I want to buy a used car on Sunday from some guy on Facebook let me do it, why the hell do I need to wait to go to a bank to get a cashiers check or take out cash, just let me pay the man in peace. The FED Is just fixing a problem that has been around for .... well forever. They can spy on me all the FED wants I could care less, whatever. Just let me live life as I want, why not let me buy a used car on Sunday and pay the seller right there. Why do I need to go on Monday, during work hours to a bank to take out cash or cashiers check, soooo stupid of a process. I lose work hours, I need to fight traffic, stand in line at a bank, then go meet the seller AGAIN a second time, and on a work day so now there is traffic...... What a pain.

Listen up, almost all Natural gas in Washington, Oregon, Idaho, Montana comes from Canada and we use that to produce fertilizer for farms in all 4 states so prepare for major issues - the price of potatoes, Onions, Fruit, almost all corn you eat, edible corn comes from Washington state and all states depend on Canadian Natural Gas for fertilizer so what is going to happen??? MAJOR HIKE IN PRICES. Fast food, burgers, fires, oil, heating, onion, potatoes, every corner of the USA will get hit. You will pay more. Inflation will go UP the FED will be forced to HIKE rates that will slow down growth. Oil prices will shoot up. Diesel prices will go up so everything goes up in price. And for what benefit is this? So that more American's can't afford to eat? That kids go hungry? That is not what a Christian wants for our country and people. You voted in to power a bad man. Just so you understand that when the impact hits.

It's not just about blaming the EU for something but rather a normal strategy of the UK throughout history to use their own nation as a balance point to prevent one entity from becoming too powerful in Europe. The UK sided against the Ottoman Empire, against German Reich X2, against the Soviets, against the French Empire, and the EU is just another entity in this list. The UK has many disadvantages when it is a member of the EU as it has limited land area, few natural resources, higher cost of living and business being on an island, all of this makes it inferior to other European powers while inside the EU, however after leaving the EU the UK gains back advantages, seeking trade in different paths than the EU, having a totally different global strategy and countering the EU in terms of influence in Europe benefits the UK as it has historically by being an outsider. This is following the historical strategy the UK has always followed rather consciously or not. This is not a negative thing either as EU members can always gain from this as well, returning Euro clearing houses back to EU members, have duplication of standards and governmental positions, being able to make policy without the UK. There is no bad answer here just different strategy.

The problem is that American labor costs too much, Migrants are the only way you buy food at the price it is at now, you kick out 15 million people your price for everything will explode, every bit of food you eat. The thing is people don't understand how it works, go to any farm where vegetables or fruit is grown and what do you see? Some fancy machines? No you see an army of workers. Every apple picked here in WA as by the hand of a person manually picking each and every apple for hundreds of millions of customers. That's a lot of apples and a lot of workers, if you have to hire White dudes instead of migrants the wage goes from like 15,000 to 70,000 trust me no one will be able to afford apples anymore, simple as that. This harms the migrants, it harms the farmers, it harms the counties, states, federal tax collection, it harms to customer, it harms the truck drivers. No one benefits.

Have you looked in to moving out west? If you want the best the USA has to offer it's out in the west, have a look at Boise, Salt Lake city, Nevada, Eastern Washington, Tri cities? Also places like the mountains east of Sacramento is fucking awesome place to be mountains, valleys, endless historic sites from the gold rush era and Vineyards, lots of affordable houses, tons of tech jobs in Sacramento area, affordable houses up in the mountains with big land 5+ acres with Gorgeous towns like out of a story book, Placerville CA, Auburn CA, Jackson CA and so many others just dozens of awesome towns, all these towns are fucking magical. If you want cheap living look at the MASSIVE area about 1 hour drive circle around Redding California it's super cheap, not many job options but just everything, mountains, rivers, cheap houses on big land. For jobs in Tech you can't beat Salt Lake sooo many tech jobs but its not cheap there, for cheap living and tons of Tech jobs look at Huntsville Alabama a friend moved there not only did he score a job in Tech with almost the same pay as in Seattle where I live but he bought his house for cash for dirt cheap, he is living the dream

That's ideological corruption, assets are a pool of stuff available for sale, who is competing with you? Is it really Wall Street?? nooo I heat to break it to you but it is not, It's your next door neighbor. It's average American, who is out there buying homes, and competing and raising prices on you, people working in Tech an Finance making $200,000 a year as a working couple are the ones easily raising prices. Money from around the globe is invested in to Wall Street which funds companies like Microsoft and Apple and they hire Americans pay them HUGE salary and their workers buy all the homes. Simple really. How many Microsoft workers own 2+ homes maybe 3+, they list them for rent, or AirBNB or vacation homes for themselves. It's just good old fashioned inequality, Tech/Finance workers make so much more than everyone else, just need to find a way to join them.

@Mike80528 Mike, you are spreading nonsense. In the USA when a company promises a salary the worker ALWAYS gets it, you will never find the type of ad-hoc wages like in Italy in the USA it does not exist. Also, there is no such thing as late-stage-Capitalism that is a conspiracy of the uneducated, there is what is called Late-Stage of the Business cycle, if you know economics, every economy has a cycle of expansion and contraction, we today in 2024 are in late stage of the Business cycle, high interest rates to lower inflation, slowing down of the economy and sales numbers, corporate income is slow, and maybe there is or isn't a recession, then after that, a new cycle starts with early-expansion stage begins. This is a continuous cycle of all world economies. Capitalism has no expire date like your conspiracy is telling you, instead it has a cyclical nature from Ancient Rome and to this day. The cycle is psychological and economic, people spend money, cost rises with inflation, people slow down spending due to higher costs, then there is a recession and then demand begins to rise again. I highly recommend learning about the business cycle so that you understand better the world you live in,

The proof that he is not doing this alone is that #1 someone else is filming and the quality is too good for just a random skilled youtuber #2 the quantity of videos published is both at high volume but also keeps changing it rises and falls in quantity of new videos based on events, not his own life, not a normal schedule but it is like he gets a phone call that says, go do X and Y and he heads out to film right away, so the schedule is all over the place. #3 he keeps changing, it's not very consistent in the narrative like a normal youtuber will try and keep the format going to keep the views high for every video but he has videos with almost no views at all, then a video with a huge number of views so it is not consistent like a normal youtuber who has massive incentive to make sure every video gets pretty stable views, this channel is all over the place. #4 lack of advertisements, if he is living off of the youtube income it should be blasting ads but it's not, sure some youtubers only have 1 ad at the start and one at the end, maybe they are humble but this guy? In Russia? being Humble? Yeah.... no, I don't buy it. The lack of ads seems to be intentional to get the most views possible to keep watching for the longest possible time, yeah.

The best way to fight climate change is with advancements in technology for example the Smart Phone has replaced the need to own a camera, recording device, pay phones, calling cards/tokens, traditional phones, scanners, physical media, disks of music, so much production has been replaced by a single less wasteful product which is the Smart phone. This is the result of innovation but to create innovation you need to have growth which gives governments and companies the resources and incentive to advance to achieve investments and research. Low growth is stagnation which means no advancements in technology and thus mankind will be more wasteful.
We could have remained with power generation using coal in the UK and US, no problem, but with investment and research we moved on to oil and gas and with each increment comes a reduction in waste and green house gasses. And so without growth we cannot fight climate change. What is very very wasteful is transpiration of goods around the planet instead we should be making goods locally we our advanced economies and policies to limit green house gasses we should produce goods for our own economies instead of importing highly polluting low priced goods from Asia and this is where the odd crazy character of Trump actually has one word of reason, yes we should use tariffs to force manufacturing to be in the west for our local economies so that we can produce goods with our high standards of emissions and remove the VERY wasteful transportation of goods around the globe.

The $10k is only out the gate price but once you add shipping, taxes, registration, and car dealers take a cut, local taxes, it really adds up. You also have to advertise, provide repairs for at least a few years of warranty, and in the USA EVs only get a tax cut if they are made in the USA so you need to open a factory in the USA at least to assemble the parts from China which will add more to the cost. After everything is said and done, it will be much more than 10k. Tesla tried to sell 35k cars and still do more or less but they dont sell very well as most people want to add features so the cost goes up and the buyer numbers become a problem. America demand comfort, long distance driving capability, reliability of the car, things that Chinese might not care about so there is a difference in car choices

Europe already is BRICS = it is a union of much smaller countries in to one system but the economies of Europe have developed the EURO which is the key to power. The economies and interest rates set by the ECB makes it all possible thanks to very similar economy shared by Euro zone countries. Would Russia, China, Brazil, South Africa, all join in to sharing a single new currancy? Well it would mean China giving up control over it's currancy and no longer being able to manipulate it to expand it's export industry which would hurt China dramatically, at the same time the interest rates and economic situations in each BRCIS member is wildly different. Russia is in a war, China is in deflation, South Africa is doing fine, Brazil is coming out of a period of stagnation, each member is WILDLY, dramatically different economy and economic status then the rest. So how would BRICS currancy set it's interest rate when each country is so different? Inflation rate is so different? It is practically impossible and would be highly unstable. Not to mention Russia and China I highly doubt would give up their currancy Sovereignty due to their national/military long-term goals.

@emiliadumitru8030 Stalin was a brute with low intellect and acted like a Mafia boss pretty similar to Xi Jinping on the other hand Putin is not an intellect or a brute or thug and does not act like a Mafia boss but he thinks he is the greatest strategist in history, he probably sits there with maps and draws out his future empire of the Slavic people like Hitler did as well, his Germanic empire, the Germans in Sudeten land belong to Germany, the Germans in Poland are part of Germany, the mentality of reunification of Germanic people that racist world view is the same Putin has for Slavic people, the Slavs in Georgia, the Slavs in Ukraine, the Slavs in Moldova, The Slavs in Poland, they all belong under Putin's rule as king of Slavic people. It's the same mindset as Hitler very racist person.

It will also hit every thing you buy, Almost all potatoes, onions, corn, huge amount of fruit and veg is grown in Idaho, Oregon, Montana, Washington and it all depends on Canada for natural gas to produce fertilizer so expect HUUUGE price hikes and shortages. If farmers can't get fertilizer the fields go dead. I don't think people realize the impact that is coming. Prepare for major Food price hikes across the USA and Canada, fast food, restaurants, everything, and price hikes on fuel, diesel that will hike all transport prices. Every item in the store has to be trucked in and that is going to cost a lot more. If inflation really explodes and we have shortages then expect the FED to hike interest rates that will make housing cost much more and cars too and growth will slow down. This is a major economic damage for no reason, the leader of Canada already resigned and they have elections in a few months when the right wing stands to win..... So why a tariff war now?

@ryanward9625 Your comment makes 0 sense. Corporations pay many many different taxes, there are employer taxes, B&Os, there are taxes on shipping goods to many countries, to cross borders, to pass customs, to get Government permits to operate in foreign countries, to explore for oil, to extract minerals, EVER heard of the Mineral Tax? It's all paid out of the corporate bookkeeping. So it is the corporation paying the taxes of course. What kind of strange comment , ooohhh corporations don't pay taxes WTF????

This is not how things work . The USA is an aging country so is China. Both are and will become more advanced economies over time, the turn BACK to industry is not possible becasue you need young people, willing to work hard for very very very low pay to industrialize. The USA can't go back. China can't go back. To go back what do you need??? You need to make your people POOR, struggling to feed themselves, to the point that low paying manual work for years and years without demands for unions and protests and demand for higher pay, or the ability to stop working becasue life costs are low. The USA that is very hard, much of the USA is very cheap to live, most people working in industry in the USA like in Mississippi or Georgia, if a factory opened up with low pay of $6 an hour, no one would sign up unless they were very very desperate so you can't re-industrialize the USA unless you make an agreement with the population to delete their wealth, literally confiscate their money. And that they won't protest and riot. So #1 this is highly unlikely in a Democracy. #2 This is highly unlikely in an advanced economy as the population has gotten use to high quality of life. #3 if you do delete people's money anyway, they will cause major major problems and order will be hard to control. The USA cannot go back. China cannot go back. Russia cannot go back. The future of industry is India and Africa - after that, once they are advanced as well, then the planet will transform but we have 100 years to go so that is not our problem.

There is no wealth to tax, anyone who has money it is not in the bank account it is in the stock market, in real estate, it is all invested. The problem is that invested money is taking a risk to invest, so if you take a share of it away, the risk rises, when risk rises prices fall, so the France economy will go down to some extent if you take money out of the system as as tax. Nothing it free, you take more tax from wealthy people who invest their money, the outcome will be less money invested = stocks fall, real estate falls. Nothing is free. Another problem.....
If you tax invested money, you take it out of the stock market, out of the hands of the rich, you give it to the government as tax, the Government uses that money to buy tanks that money is forever gone, it is gone. The stock market keeps that money invested in to the economy, that money could stay invested for 100 years, 200 years, forever, but if you give it to the Government and they use it to buy tanks and the tank is sitting in storage it is money that is gone forever, it is dead money. For sure you need some tanks to defend your country but just remember that the money you take out of the hands of rich people that is invested and growing money to the Government could become dead money. So be careful not to damage too much money or you damage the country.
Money you take from the rich to give to the poor, welfare, can be OK but ONLY if the people you give them money to will also use it. If people use the money to buy food that is great, it is invested back in to the economy, no problem at all, but if the people you give welfare to, they put it in the bank and never use it until they die, that is dead money, very bad money. Even worse, if you give people welfare money and they move it to a different country that is a disaster that is money that ran away from France.

There are 2 very interesting effects that happen in the sky. 1. during the day the sun light is much stronger in space and man made objects reflect that creating all kinds of odd shapes and objects, cylinders, orbs and that is refracted through the humidity and various elements of our sky causing pulsating, dancing, moving bright odd shaped objects. 2. At night, the stars (distant suns) when combined with the asthenosphere can cause a similar effect of color changing, pulsating, moving, dancing objects and if very fine cloud coverage can really look like they are moving around, I have seen this time and again here Nevada due to the clear skies or very light clouds. However, there are many apps you can install on your phone that will tell you what stars or man made objects are right above you and so you can compare what it is you are looking at and time and again, I found the culprit.

@gjw2wj469 I am not in US. Anyway, it is very important to remember that Russia is the one that invaded Ukraine and it was Putin's decision. The losses on the ground are one time, Russia is using weapons that took the Soviets 60 years to create and Russia can never replace the losses. So every day Russia is losing military power for forever in to the future, Ships, air place, missiles, armor, is all one time losses, Russia will never rebuild the losses. And Russia is losing power by killing fellow Slavic people? Imagine telling the Soviets what Russia is doing today? They would remove Putin as a traitor. He is a traitor to Russian people for stealing the profit of oil and gas for 25 years, instead of schools and better payment for work, what do you get? War.

The US political landscape is ultra mixed, for example Texas is on the verge of being a purple state and is pretty even split between Democrats and Republicans. So no civil war coming out of Texas that's for sure, not happening. The major issue is that the outcome of most civil wars is a rise of a ruthless leader and system that clamps down HARD on the population like you see in Syria so instead of the outcome of civil war being your world view taking over, it usually ends up being the opposite and just a ruthless authority takes over, civil wars can end up much worse for the people then how it was before a civil war. Just keep that in mind. The best example is Russian civil war (Bolsheviks take over) , Chinese civil war (Communists take over), Syria, French Revolution, these all ended up with authoritarian dictators that lock up anyone who disagrees with authority. The French Revolution was incredibly bloody and the power that controls the country changed sides multiple times leading to mass executions not of opposition but of the general public who were anti authority, the exact people who kick started the revolution paid the most for it. The French resolution ended in total failure as the population turned against each other which is another major risk of civil war is that the population creates new factions that turn against each other leading to a bloody nasty war that goes nowhere, the French Revolution is that very risk that should keep anyone far away from such ideas.

@wanderingwarrior5626 Well the USA is the most dynamic country in the world by a long shot, the fastest growing cities in the USA now in 2024 were not even a twinkle of an idea in people's minds just 20 year ago. NO country in the world is even remotely close to as wild and dynamic as the USA. it is always ever re-inventing itself, willing to break it all down and pick up the pieces, unlike most of the world where they settle in to a routine and hunker down, Japan and Germany are great examples, they were growing like the USA in the 1960s-1990s but then became stuck in the 1990s, they got comfy and said, forget the future, screw it, we like the 1990s more, so we are going to stay here, and they have.
For sure people will want to get off the wild crazy ride and move somewhere sure-footed and slow, and take life easy but most Americans go head first in to a change, why would someone who has a safe path in life, who has resources just pack up and move from a very slow moving town in Ohio or Pennsylvania or from around the world and move to the hot, desert in Idaho or Colorado or Arizona or Nevada or Texas, why? Because they want change, they are thirsty for new way of life and no country has people that desire change and ever new world than the USA. Do you see millions of Australians packing up and moving to the desert? No. Do you see millions of Canadians packing up and moving to the untamed north or somewhere new? No. They get comfy and settle in. Do you see millions of Europeans move to some new cities that did not exist or were small towns in nowhere 20 years ago? No.
To each their own but my family moved from Hungary to the USA at the end of the USSR and it was the best decision they made in their life.

Keep in mind that having land and space like provided by living in the USA is one of the critical pieces for providing people space for creativity, some of the greatest people and inventions and ideas have come from having this added land and space. From Walt and Roy Disney starting out in their Garage and their first business out of a small loft, to Bill Gates, Google with Larry Page and Sergey Brinn, The Wright Brothers, even Steve Jobs started in his Shed and garage, and over and over again, the list is endless. The more space people have the more room they have to be creative and the more they can expand and create. Look how many people use their land for creating businesses, my friend has a audio recording studio in his home and that is his business, if he had to rent some commercial space it would cost too much to allow him to start up his own business. The world is more than just good city planning, it is about a platform for expanding the human horizon, opportunities and futures and giving people the freedom to shape the world around them even if that is at odds with your city planning world view.

Great video! 100% I only want Trump gone I have no issues with any of our Conservative values, from family oriented, to gun rights to small government, to balanced budgets, to anything it is just I don't want to see a leader of America who is a bootlicker of Despots, Tyrants and Dictators, I don't want a President that will betray our allies and NATO, I do not want a President that will betray Ukraine's fight for freedom like we did in 1776 actually 1775 -1780s, look how long it took the British Empire to get the message, 7-8 years so I am here for Ukraine as long as it takes. I do not want to support Hungary and their wannabe dictator. And I for sure do not Support Trump. I will be voting for Harris but only to get rid of Trump so I hope Democrats to do not take the election Win as a mandate to change laws that I care about which is why for Congress I am voting Republican as per usual, but just voting against Trump. Just make sure your representative to Congress do actually support Ukraine otherwise I would vote for the other side there too.

@enthused7591 The FED is only trying to remove inflation at the end of the day... While house prices are part of the reason we have inflation the FED knows that house prices take years to adjust and if they fall too fast the public will panic and sell, fearing that they will run out of cash and we will see a 2008 crisis occur again. 2008 was caused by the public running out of cash. People stop paying mortgages, houses flood the market, houses cannot sell, people foreclose, banks begin to default, it's a nasty waterfall of chaos. The FED wants long term slow reductions so that everyone can adjust without chaos, so I think, for myself only, that the FED will lower rates very soon maybe before August maybe much sooner, time will tell.

Russia paid commentators are ALL over youtube, pushing the Anti Ukraine narrative, #1 false claims that Zelensky is corrupt which is not true and Russia has stolen the Oil and Gas profits over 2 trillion Dollars from its people for 25 years, Putin is the most corrupt leader the world has ever seen, 2 trillion Dollars stolen from his people. #2 False claims that NATO is expanding west, when it was eastern European countries who came begging to join NATO, they wanted protection from future Russian invasion and expansion and Imperialism so of course the asked and demanded to join NATO. It's not NATO expanding it's the threat of future Russian imperialism. #3 American is going broke funding Ukraine, this is totally false the USA spent 5 trillion on COVID and the money so far given to Ukraine is only 1% of that. The USA is the world reserve currency it can print 1,000 trillion right now, means nothing, but the USA has responsibility to maintain the global currency but it is doing so far far far too strict, what is 60 billion for Ukraine? Nothing. It means nothing. And they are using the money to buy American made weapons = jobs for Americans. Enough with the propaganda.

The USA is a very different animal than the UK. Yes you have old world and fully developed cities like NYC, Boston, Philadelphia, Chicago and they act like the UK, However these areas of the USA have been losing population for 40 years now and they are dealing with decline in people so prices are actually falling or pretty stable. Chicago before COVID was around 300k for a house and today around 340k for a house so they increased by very mildly. Where did prices rise in the USA? It's the new growth cities like Boise Idaho, Sacramento, Las Vegas, Phoneix, Salt Lake city, everything in Texas, Tennessee and Florida and many areas all over the USA these are new houses that did not exist 20 years ago but there is a ton of risk, cities like Boise Idaho can grow many times larger 2x 3x 10x or more in size and still have so much land yet price of houses went up 100% double the price in just 3 years of COVID. The USA just loves the boom and bust cycles just by the nature of the country but you can cheat by living in stable city like Chicago but that's not as fun as going out to a brand new area out in the desert. Houses in Boise were worth 300k before COVID and went up to almost 600k now back down to 500k wild swings but that's the nature of growing areas. You get to be part of everything new, factories, offices, homes, shops just everything but prices can swing from one side to the other but an exiting place to live.

Well inflation is rising at a much slower pace 3.4% instead of over 9% thanks to the FED's raising of rates and supply chain recovering after COVID and people getting back in to the work force. Inflation never actually goes down unless you take away and destroy people's wealth like during the 2008 melt down as house values crashed people lost value of their homes and got scared and stopped buying stuff so prices went down, very little but they still went down 0.3% in 2008 and in the next year 2009 we were back to normal inflation so that was a pretty small change even with all the damage so if you really want prices to fall you need something way way bigger like the Great Depression when prices went down 25% but most of the American people had to suffer for it, many lost their savings as large banks collapsed and there was no safe guards so all the money they held was gone, stocks crashed hard, companies disappeared and farmers and factories had no buyers, it took 20 years to recover after the the Government spent a lot of money in WW2 and people once again had stuff to do.
It is important to remember, falling inflation = fellow Americans wealth is getting crushed which is not a great thing really, and the rich only get richer by getting a rare chance to buy poorer peoples stuff for cheap. Inflation is actually scary to wealthy because their existing/old wealth value deteriorates, their old money becomes worth less then new money. If you hate the rich you want inflation, your debts to the wealthy becomes worth less as new money is inflated making it easier to pay off debts. However, the wealthy getting crushed means everyone is getting crushed so yeah there is no way to win that game.

I assume you mean 3:35 minute in the video? He said that central banks need the freedom to operate by raising rates to counter inflation and you can see right now there are over 150+ countries doing that process, Japan, all of Europe, US, Mexico, Russia, Brazil, Korea, India, Argentina, practically most of the world right now is in a rate hike cycle to control inflation. Which works of course, but Erdogan tried to do the opposite so he could win but that damaged the economy and the Turkish system has been damaged by dollarization. A country needs to have a good strong and healthy currency and if you let inflation rise you damage it. Erdogan is a bad leader and he caused problems that will take a lot of pain to fix. The Turkish people are good people but they let the wrong person lead them for too long.

@زنكي That is not the main use of interest rates. What interest rate is for is to force people to stop buying, you are using rates to slow down the economy of Turkey, lower the GDP, lower how many people can take loans, lower and slow down everything in order to slow down inflation. That is it. Very simple. If you want to lower inflation you need to slow down the economy, stop people from buying goods, stop people getting loans, this will reduce the value of goods from houses to food, it is painful as people will lose work, companies will slow down and shrink in size, it makes for a bad economy but that is how you stop inflation. The USA had a bad round of inflation in 1970s and the central bank FED made the same mistake as Turkey and tried to void raising rate high so that lowered inflation a little bit but then it went up again, what solved the problem? The USA set interest rate to 20% and slowly bring it down and that solved the problem. It was painful for the USA b, economy was very bad but it recovered fully in a few years and has not had inflation since that time until now. So you fix it once and now you are free from inflation for 30-40 years? Sounds like a good deal to me.

@M4G4M4N #1 don't forget that the USA was in Vietnam for 20 years and lost 60,000 men while China invaded Vietnam just after the USA left and lost 30,000 men in just 2 weeks of combat! That is right, not 2 years, 2 weeks! Talk about a loss ratio for the Chinese army, this was the last time the Chinese army fought a war until today, it really impacted the Chinese army morale losing so many men in such a short time, that they never went to war again, at least not until today. #2. Afghanistan was won and turned in to a hunt after Al Qaeda and it was necessary after Al Qaeda attacked the USA on 9/11, Spain and the UK were also attacked, Osama was captured and his organization was destroyed. The USA mostly left Afghanistan by public demand after Osama Bin Laden was captured and only left contractors and a advisors. The USA had no real force in Afghanistan when Taliban took over and the American public did not permit any help for the Afghanistan Army so they were all on their own. The Afghan army had a chance but they failed so that is the end of the story. It was all on them, instead they stole from each other and ran away. The USA did what it could. At the end of the day, you can't save someone that is just going to turn around and run, the USA had no issues going all in for South Korea and they are a very successful country today, the USA had no issues re-building much of eastern Europe, Philippines, Singapore, Iraq, and so many other countries and they all succeeded because they had the will to do so, Afghanistan clearly did not have the will to change.

We can add up he main destinations for Russians and see what we get.... The largest destination is Uzbekistan around 400,000 Russians arrived since 2022 but it could be 500,000 by now. Serbia around 200,000 Russian's arrived since 2022. UAE is a bit hard to know, around 1 million Russians arrived in UAE since 2022 but many might just be a vacation or temporary until the war is over, mostly rich Russian's families of Oligarchs and so on, I would guess maybe 200,000. Georgia accepted 110,000 Russians but 1/3 have already left probably to EU, Turkey around 80-90k Russians mostly have moved to other countries. Finland estimates around 40,000 Russian arrived. Around 65,000 Russians moved to Israel. 7,400 Russians moved to China. We do not know how many Russians moved to Kazakhstan - that is kept a secret I imagine maybe 100,000? But have no idea. I am not going to count USA/UK/Australia/Canada as they had to leave Russia to one of the other countries first. My total number is around 1.3 million. I would assume it is between 1.25 and 2 million. Some might return to Russia if the war ends, but a large percent will probably not return after 2-3 years in another country most might be settled down to a new life.
Ukrainians and Russians ironically tend to end up living in similar areas people who left both countries end up living in the same cities and areas. Sad situation of course.

@MATADOR8888 The entire idea of nazisim is racial view of the world by grouping people together based on physical features, genetics or religion. The result of nazisim is creating a class based system very similar to communism, and as such these systems always lead to the same failure as they simply place people in the wrong position, based on their physical appearance or abidance rather than their true skills and capabilities in life
Further more, each and every person is different, a world of their own, and as such the most fundamental American way is that each person is judged as an individual by their ACTIONS in life alone, regardless of religion, skin color, or any other physical or spiritual feature. We are all different from one another, we all think differently no matter how we appear, and need to be judged by our actions. This is why Racism is disgusting and is VERY unAmerican. There is no room on this planet for neo nazis it is a failed and disgraceful ideology from beginning to end. It leads to massive corruption and economic, government and society breakdown and failure.

Wait a minute, did you just say the words "Late STAGE Capitalism"? Why? Sure, we have the theory of the Business cycle where you have the cyclical nature of the collective mentality and financial capacity and the USA, Europe, India, Korea, Japan, most of the world right now is in the late expansion stage. this eventually will get weaker and head for a R Word once the population becomes exhausted which could be days from now or many years away, who knows? But then early expansion stage will kick in and on with a new cycle no?
But the "Late stage Capitalism" theory is that it's not cyclical but TERMINAL decline from which there is no recovery. I don't see why the USA or Europe or Korea would not recover and start a new business cycle??? Why would after 300 years the USA become terminal? If the population keeps growing right? If there is a shortage of housing, you have a source for expansion right there no? The currancy would fall as rates are cut and increase exports per usual no?
Not to mention the USA and UK like so many other countries have massive consumption base without a balanced local manufacturing base = opportunity for a major re-bound in industry/manufacturing if desired.
Maybe Korea has some worry in term of population decline so it's time for immigration to really be ramped up?
The one country where I think there could be trouble brewing is Germany, which avoided the 1970s-80s industrial decline in the west and so might be living on borrowed time but who knows? Germany is very creative and intellegent so maybe they find a path out but I don't know.
We could also see a major AI Manufacturing boom in the advanced economies, which could spell trouble for Africa/India which are next in line after China. I would hate to see them get their time to shine robbed by AI but the USA does have the Mississippi river delta that is just begging to industrialize, but who knows if that will play out or not.

We still have many tens of millions of baby boomers that will be retiring in coming years, and they seem to LOVE Florida for whatever reasons, after they are all gone, and passed away then we got a problem in retirement hotspots especially if the next Gen, GENX decide they don't want sunny beaches but instead prefer mountains and snow, maybe Colorado, Utah, Montana, Wyoming get millions of people coming to retire and Florida wilts away, but who knows, the future is anyones guess

#1 the USA did not lose in Afghanistan, the USA killed Osama and that was the main goal, once Osama was killed the USA left everything to the Afghan army and they failed but that was their responsibility. #2 After the USA left Vietnam, CHINA invaded and in just 2 weeks lost 30,000 Chinese solders and had to retreat, China have NEVER gone to war since, 50 years China has not gone to war because it was humiliated so badly by Vietnam. The USA lost 60,000 solders in Vietnam but that was over 20 years, China lost half 30,000 in just 2 weeks!!! This is not that different from Russia invasion of Ukraine, Russia will now not go to war again for 40 years, it's over for Russia, total failure. The USA lost 190 solders taking FULL control of Iraq, 190!!!

I have a secret to tell you, beef and chicken raised in the US of A is all good stuff, keep in mind that the large companies like Tyson do not raise a single animal they are all raised by thousands of small farmers they buy from. Go check their site, they will say we buy meat from 11,000 farmers becasue that's the truth, they don't raise animals in some giant farms, no no no, they use small farmers all over the country. The idea that there is good and bad meat in the US of A is really over blown, the farmers in this country are good hard working people. You can buy any meat you like from any store you like but I just don't think it really matters. Do you check where a restaurant gets its meat when you go out to eat? Well they use large logistics companies that supply the same meat as Tyson and Walmart and any other store. Unless you specifically buy from a specific farmer, it's just any of thousands of farmers. Yes I buy sausages from a farm in Oregon called Snake River Farms, some of the best there is in the US Of A becasue it is seasoned and prepared by the farm, but for regular meat like ground beef I just buy what's on the shelf. But to each their own.

It is important to realize that in 1970s and 1980s something happened, Americans gave up on working for industry. The Baby Boomers were told by their Parents, YOU WILL HAVE A BETTER LIFE THAN I DID and that meant no more work in industry. The Unions and their power in mass protests and strikes in the 1970s-80s came becasue young Americans stopped showing up to work and with less people, the demand for labor exploded with the rise of the Baby Boomers to consumption age in their 20s-30s and so unions had the power to break American companies apart in to dust. Don't get me wrong, unions do A LOT of good but when young Americans, cheap workers disappear and factories run dry of labor, the Unions become over powerful and demand as much as they can. Together with inflation and shortage of oil, it was the perfect storm, America broke down and had to give up on industry and start massive imports of goods instead. China took over from Japan in 1990s and that is where we are today.
The American industrial heartland ran out of people in 1970s. Inflation went up, Americans looked for higher income and flocked by the millions to NYC, Chicago, and mostly to California for white collar jobs. Ronald Regan was faced with crazy inflation, industry lacking cheap young work force and so he made the call, it's over, we are importing everything now.
The thing is, this is unstoppable, once a population become white collar there is no going back. The days of US Industry are over, its history now. Maybe some day with AI and robots doing the hard work we can bring industry back to the USA but that is 20 + years from now. And the scary part, what happened to the USA in the 1970s is just starting to happen in China now in 2024. China ran out of cheap labor, they are just getting started on the disaster that we saw 50 years ago. The scary part is, after China who is going to make you stuff for cheap? Africa? India? Not happening. So we in the USA better be ready for long term inflation with prices that keep rising and rising and rising long term. Maybe by sheer luck, AI and robot manufacturing will save the day just in time but let's see. I am hopeful that will happen and it might very well.

Nothing is wrong with the USA, we are only seeing 3.2% inflation is that going to break an economy? Of course not. The USA had super low inflation for 15 years after 2008 an average around 1.4% so we were actually too low on inflation which forced the FED to keep rates very low which increased the price of homes. Now we should see much more stable economy with better inflation rates. At the end of the day inflation is not a bad thing, you get paid more $, you force Americans to get off their butts and get back to work. Only 62% of Americans at working age are actually working that is very low, so many lazy Americans, Germany for example is at 80% we are missing 18% of the American people that are not working. Inflation lights a fire under them to get back out there and join the economy, get GDP going. The USA has a big lost potential if we had 80% working like in Germany the GDP could be up instead of 3% it could be 5%, everyone gets wealthier the more people take part in the economy. They get paid, can spend more, buy more, build more.
On top of all this the USA is one of the only countries in the world that we can close the door, shut down all trade with the outside world and become incredibly wealthy as a nation. We have enough oil and gas, we have enough manpower, more food production than any country except India but they have 1.4 billion humans to feed we only have like 330 million, Americans eat too much food but that's another story.

Russia is playing in the same game as every one, if you have no faith in your country, would you take risks and invest in starting a new business?? No, you will do the least you need to survive, there will be limited use of an education in the future of Russia without western companies paying more for educated people to work for their companies... So education value will fall, starting your own company will also be less common, this is no an issue for today, but it is for tomorrow and the future generations will suffer from this in Russia. In the west you have high price of human work, but cheap price of goods, in Russia you will have the other way around, cheap price of human work and high price of goods. The problem is that the western way is sustainable long term, the Russian way is not sustainable and will make everyone equal but poor. The CCCP has prove that system dose not work and Putin is now trying it yet another time...

A large percentage of the stats are due to immigration to the USA, however there is a legitimate class of Americans left behind by de-industrialization, mostly old generations of urban core white/black Americans, leading to a heritage of reduction of quality of life, becoming used to not working for a living, welfare or temporary work, and many fall in to the world of drug usage, and mental damage from that. Trump could actually correct some of that by re-balancing the US economy moderately back to industry. Keep in mind in the USA manufacturing is only some 9% of GDP which is the lowest in the developed world so there is legitimate reason to re-balance that. The USA is the world's leader in consumption as most Americans live in private homes that forces consumption, so the USA has plenty of paths to re-balance. Of course that will lead to inflation .
Keep in mind that Human mentality is very stupid across the globe, people in Russia are scared of the past and that leads them to embrace bad leadership, and mankind is scared of inflation due to the past but that does not mean it is a bad thing. People are scared of 2008 in the West, leading to housing shortages and mentality of some people that a housing crash is imminent, this is out of fear of past which is a very powerful mental issue globally. In China people fear being poor leading to high alter of money and wealth, accumulating more wealth then needed and leading to very high savings rates slowing down China's transition to a consumer lead economy. These are all multi generational national psychosis - you can see these around the globe.

This entire video has a MAJOR error from the start to the end. What is this error? The USA is not an empire. After WW2 the USA could have maintained control over Japan, Germany, Europe, Philippines, and even go as far as taking over the British Empire holdings in Africa and even Canada and Australia/NZ but the USA did none of it. Instead the USA itself de-colonized it's one asset which was the Philippines and let go and Japan and Germany fully self governed. As such the USA never became an Empire and so there has been no replacement for the British Empire.
The rise of the US Dollar in global economics was due to the large economic power of the USA as a large country that was more advanced then other larger countries like China and India. In to the future India and China will over take the USA but only on a national level and so the trust in the USA on a global level should continue to remain #1 in terms of trust for 100-200 years. However, both the USA and China are under a debt load, in fact in many aspects China has a much higher debt load, but unlike the USA can easily attract massive immigration China cannot and so is facing long term population decline that is just not a problem in the USA.
So on global level the USA has no real threats in fact if there is a threat to the USA it is not China but actually the EU. The EU as a collective of many countries does produce a surprising risk to the USA. EU has a stronger currancy, has a trusted political system but does have much higher risk of internal instability like you see with Hungary today or UK Brexit in the past. But overall for any global power to really replace the USA it must have as much integrity as the USA has which is for sure not China that has major issues, both in a dictatorship running the country, and many global disputes, The EU is of much higher chance of displacing the USA than China. But in reality neither will. The other player is India but as always it is a very inward focused country that does not have, YET, global aspirations but check back in 100-200 years and that could change. So for the next 100 -200 years the USA is most likely safe at the top but it's real risk comes from the EU in the short term and India in the long term. If China has a revolution and becomes Democratic, then the USA will be under a new level of risk from China as well, but that is a real hard question if China will have a democratic revolution.

I think this video is missing the point. Manufacturing is down GLOBALLY in UK, US, China, Mexico, France, Japan, Germany, Korea, everyone is dealing with weaker manufacturing as this is due to higher interest rates to combat inflation, once this fight is over and interest rates start to come back down liquidity should increase and as such rebound manufacturing but it won't be over night this could take a few month or years. Germany, China, Japan have large manufacturing sectors so are impacted more by nature manufacturing in the USA is only like 10% of GDP in Germany it is almost 20% so double the impact of higher interest rates.

If you use Socialism in its real welfare sense it is a fine platform but if you use it as a way to divide and conquer, as a way to split society in to factions and create enemies then you are using it wrong. Karl Marx, Stalin, Lenin, Hitler, Mussolini all ABSUED Socialism as a tool to divide-and-conquer to grab personal power for a faction they lead. This is a betrayal of Socialism. In the USA today there are 2 Socialisms on the right, the people who are low skilled workers left behind by outsourcing to China AND the city-dwellers the old old fashioned Class-Socialism who feel betrayed by the "fake" 1%. Both are Socialists. Trump AND Biden both printed TRILLIONS of future debt and taxes to re-distribute welfare checks to the population. Both are Socialists YES YES YES Trump is a Socialist too of course. Just don't use Socialism as a means to an end, as a way for unqualified people to grab power that is how you end up with Hitler or Stalin or Mussolini We DO NO need that BS in America..
Also Fascism-Nationalism are Socialists as well they are Patriot-Socialisms, Hitler was a Race-Socialist today we that return with Gender-Socialists which is dangerous. We don't need this nonsense divide-and-conquer here in the US of A. We are 1 nation of people that need to work together for the betterment of all of society with the use of Welfare, re-distrubution in a fair way, fair taxes and using Tariffs to return some industry for low skill workers back to the USA. The answer is MODERATION, a bit of everything for all walks of life. I call it Fair-Socialism, the amicable sharing of all resources in an middle of the road, approach. Taxing the rich 90% is wrong and will harm the economy, outsourcing jobs to China for lower priced goods as Globalist view is wrong as well, we need moderation of all aspects.

Keep in mind that one of the major changes in the USA from the 1950s to today, is not the media, technology or politics but the population itself. I always point the finger at the people as they are the ones setting the narrative for the media, for the politicians. The largest change in the USA has been urbanization, the prime change being that urban people are more limited in their world view as they psychologically are imprisoned by their environment. An Urban person has less freedoms and can use less freedoms given the environment so will demand less freedoms for the rest of the population in order that they match their own world view out of the Urban person's view. Things like Healthcare, Social programs, control over open freedoms like hunting and owning firearms are all out of the mindset of an Urban person's world. This is the good old Urban vs Suburban or Rural world view. At the end of the day the Media is just service a product and the customer, the population, is the end consumer so as they say, do what your customer wants to be successful and so the Media in the USA has changed accordingly. From here there are only 2 options, the USA becomes more split in two between these 2 world views or a more balanced ground is accepted from both sides. Liberals need to give in to Conservatives or Urban need to give in to suburban and rural and the other way as well.

@antonyjh1234 What are you talking about? it has nothing to do with everyone needing to own a camera but that so many previously separate derives have been rolled up in to a single device removing huge quantity of waste. Growth = investment = progress = LESS WASTE. Technology advances with growth = money to invest = new technology = less waste. No one is saying that we need to cut emissions in half in five years, that is impossible and no country says that. Even if ALL NEW cars become EVs in 5 years, the existing stock of cars on the road will take 30 years to become EV. Each year only around 5% of cars are added to the stock of existing cars. Right now in 2024 3.75% of all cars in the UK are EV, it will easily take 20 years just to get to 50% maybe 60%, it is a very slow process. Regardless the UK is UNDER 1% of global pollution so even if every person living in the UK disappeared the impact to global climate change is hardly noticed, you have over a billion people in China driving cars, working in factories, buying, eating, living, massive pollution and soon India will be just as polluting as China over the next 20-40 years, any reduction to pollution in the UK is totally overwhelmed by growing in India alone, let alone all of Africa, South America. This is why smart phone has more impact than anything done in the UK as an individual nation, as the impact is global of using a smart phone with billions of people buying fewer cameras, radios, media, around the globe, is incredibly reduction in pollution.

@anime0965 That is total nonsense, every country has to sustain their own economy and population locally and not depend on trade with 1 single country as primary source of income that is not sustainable model. Even the middle east oil countries do not depend on 1 country but on purpose limit how much oil they sell to each country to have diversification. China also has diversification for example China does not buy oil/gas from 1 country more than others by much and has spread that buying to many countries pretty equally for diversification. So it makes sense for the USA and China to not depend on each other for a majority of trade that is not healthy for either side. Diversification is very important in all aspects on economics. If China or the USA have economic decline the other should not be impacted as well in a Domino Effect. Even the USA and Canada has Tariffs against each other to balance out such risks. This does not make countries in to opponents, in fact Tariffs are used between close friend all though history, The USA has very large tariffs on Japan and EU and Canada, it is just normal tool for balance of trade. Pakistan has tariffs on China even though both are close friends. This is very normal. China limits how much oil they buy from Russia do not become dependent on 1 supplier more than others. Very normal. The USA is not in decline as a country, there is no evidence of that, the USA will need to adjust as it's Baby Boomer population segment become elderly but after some time that will end. China also has a similar situation with Baby Boom that is getting old and population decline, but most importantly China will need to become an Advanced Economy so the income level of Chinese people will have to rise dramatically to the same level as the USA/Europe and so the cheap manufacturing will have to move to another country with low income levels. Very normal process, The USA did this in 1980s-1990s, Japan in 1990s-2000s, Germany and China together in the next 30 years, Very normal.

The USA Is the most Dynamic country in the world it is not scared to break everything down and start over, it is not scared of change, it is the name of the game. Look at the fastest growing cities in Europe they are over 1,000 years old but look at the USA most are not even 100 years old, or were small towns no one knew about and now they are the fastest growing in the world, if you love Change, dynamism, new world you move to the USA, no country can change itself like this by a long shot. In Germany and Japan they got stuck in the 1990s got comfy and said, I am done, we are staying here. Industry, population, economy, politics, it will change time and time again and that is the fire that keeps the world moving. Sure some people will get dizzy and want off the ride but for everyone getting off there are millions who would love to join. It is the name of the game. If you love crazy wild ride and a fun journey you move to the USA.

A lot of talk little action. The USA is not 1 economy but instead it is multiple different economies. The USA is ULTRA diverse the most diverse of any economies on this planet so we had a recession in Manufacturing for the last 2-3 years just like how China and Germany that are export lead manufacturing economies have been hurting so has the US manufacturing sector but the USA unlike China and Germany is super diverse so it was nothing but air under the wing of an airplane, hardly noticed. The USA saw record expansion of oil/gas, Military, Government, construction, Finance, Tourism, Health, and on and on, so one sector or even 2 or 3 of the US economy being weak is not enough to upset the entire economy in to recession. And amazingly just as Services is now weakening and maybe also Government at least on the Federal level begin to weaken, Manufacturing bounces back and it has begun to do so. And so one sector goes down and another bounces back up. The USA is ULTRA diverse - you need to look at each sector on it's own and put together the puzzle to see the full picture. Of course it might only take a black sawn event and everything goes off the rails, Trump massive tariff war with the world is a pretty big alarm and that is not good for the entire ship anyway you look at it. So everything is on Trump's plate which he is probably using in order for him and his buddies to game the markets - yeah they are probably aware in advance of moves Trump will make to play the stock market, so yeah, that might be more bark than bite but we shall see.

Why are you taking personally events that happened 75 years ago? Why you do you feel like you need to make excuses and lies and distort reality to remove blame from Germany? History is done, it's over, there is nothing left to be said but to move on in to the future. What happened 75 years ago does not have ANY impact on Germany today or in the future so relax, history is not personal it is not an attack on you or Germany of today and yet nothing you say can remove the blame from Germany of WW2 era so you are wasting your time. Germany lead to deaths of tens of millions of people in WW2 so stop trying to remove blame it is pointless but it does not matter as Germany in 2024 has no relations to the Germany of WW2.
Most of your text wall is incorrect but one clear error is that Germany never had a war economy but this is totally wrong, Germany was already in a war economy long before WW2. Germany began to change its economy in 1931 even before Nazis rose to power, once the Nazis rose to power they began to take over all companies in Germany by placing Nazi party members either in charge or in full supervision. The German economy was effectively fully nationalized by the Nazi party for the war effort before the war began. By the time 1938 and the start of the war, German economy was fully a war time economy and nationalized by the Nazi party. Even German company owners that were long term allies of the Nazis were taken over like Thyssen crop, the owner was forced to stand down and be replaced by a Nazi party assigned new owner to take full control.
In terms of the act of total war or strategic bombing of civilians, Germany had already done so before the allies with the Luftwaffe attacks on Warsaw, Rotterdam, Belgrade. However there is a lot to be said about such acts however you can see today in 2024 how Russia send missiles against Ukrainian civilians, attacking apartment buildings, schools, shopping malls, electricity grid, hospitals knowingly attacking civilians. This is now a normal part of warfare which is very disturbing but I don't see that changing so we have to accept that warfare since WW2 and in to the future will always hit civilians as a major target. A sad reality of modern war.

Fantastic video as always! I think a great video idea is the Milwaukee Road, the largest electrified rail network in the world for many decades and they decided to extend the network from Chicago to Seattle at absolutely insane effort, through Montana, Idaho and Washington which at the time was as remote as it gets in 1901, not only did they cross the Rockies and build the still in use today: Cascade tunnels in the Cascades in WA state, but the entire line was Electrified too!! They built power plants and electric switching stations in the middle of the most remote parts of the country, up and down mountains, bridges, steep grades and so on. I have visited some of what is left of the network such as bridges still today marked with Milwaukee Road logos, I have some cool photos, as well as the remaining power transfer station that still stand or today are museums.

The USA is the world's customer, they are the buyer, they have the consumption power, and they will choose who wins and who loses in this world. China has forgotten the customer is always right and will suffer on historic levels becasue it forgot this. The only reason the USA has not punished China until today is because the USA had hope for a peaceful and even Democratic China, and the USA wants to keep world peace and order, but if China pushes too hard, the gloves will come off, the mask will come down and the USA will expose the reality of the world order and that is the customer is ALWASY right and the world's customer is the USA. The world will bend, fold, the USA will crown the next manufacturing power probably India. Which will be a major problem for the world going forward. India will NOT be a good force on the world stage as a incredibly aggresive and nationalistic power much more than China ever could. China and the USA are very similar they are internally focused and so their imperial ambitions that were short lived, for China that was Korea and for the USA it was Cuba, Libera and Philippines but both gave up the ambitions as they morally and socially could never become empires. However INDIA will be very very different and will create a network of trade that will probably lead to war and conquest with a population more than willing to die to build an Empire with their country name stamped on it. Not so in USA or China. The USA will have no problem with this as will continue to be India's customer and will probably get along while india builds an empire. Will the USA be able to one day, resist India and crown another power King, probably from Africa? Who knows, maybe or maybe not. By that point India might be beyond the USA's ability to limit but that is a long way down the road from now.

@Shadow_Banned_Conservative You don't have to worry about Governments going broke becasue they can't, it's all a balance of inflation which in the USA is a no brainer. Every single time someone in the USA buys a product made in a foreign country, part of the payment actually leaves the USA, it goes to the company that made that product, and so the USA is 24/7 just bleeding out inflation to the world. The Trade Deficit, the amount we import more than we export is HUGE more than any other country by a long shot, and so we in the USA are always losing inflation and money supply as it goes to Asia and Europe, all over the world. And so we need to create new money, more debt to replace the money/inflation that we send out of the country. So we could possibly get to 500% Debt to GDP and still be doing just fine, that's why debt does not mean what most think it means, becasue we are always sending it out to the world.
The thing is the world wants to export goods, Chinese people don't consume much, they live in small apartments in cities, and so they make more stuff then they could ever buy locally so they need US to buy their stuff. IF the day comes that China says OK we are done exporting stuff, well they would have massive manufacturing collapse so not very likely to happen but if it did, so what? We in the USA have the consumer and that would simply lead to re-shoring industry on a scale the world has never seen before. So either way we win.
We should just sit back and enjoy the cheap goods sent to the USA from all over the globe, we get better quality of life, we can all buy more stuff with our money and do not use up our local natural resources to do so. Let China dig up their limited resources and make us stuff.

This war would destroy the Russian economy - this is why Vladimir is usually very joking or totally dismissive when he talks about Taiwan war possibility. There is no country on this planet that is trying more to prevent this than Russia. The west will be able to create a new order that does not include China and the risk for Russia is a dramatic rise in cost of goods around the globe PERMINNAETLY. The world will never see prices of goods as low as they are today. The outcome of this is large collapse of demand for goods as prices rise, and Russia that is an exporter of resources will see a large decline in demand of resources. The world today is buying every day 80% of goods are leisure, they are nice to have but not a requirement. This aspect of goods in globalized world will end as price and supply of goods is reduced dramatically by Policy. Becasue the demand and supply of goods will be reduced, the options of where to move money will fall = inflation. More money, less goods. Russia has lost 90% of 1980s production for civilian use. This is more loss than any other country. So Russia will have the largest shortage of goods in the world while needing to continue to pay money for Oil and Gas industry = hyperinflation. There will be no country on this planet with a larger shortage of goods and flood of liquidity than Russia.
Yes, Russian authority can try and close access to banks, investments, and lock away money but then there will be nothing to offer gas and oil industry workers. So what Will Russia do? They will freeze all Russian's access to money except for a class of people, Oil and Gas workers, solders, Government workers, people that work in military industry. But everyone else will suffer. This will open the door to civil unrest in Russia and where that goes I do not know. If I was in Russia , and if I would think a Taiwan war is possible or a fact going to happen, I would be a prepper on steroids. The situation in Russia could be come very bad, shortage of goods, locking up of your access to money, limiting access to buy goods. Splitting Russian population access depending on if they serve the economy and country depending on their work field.

Trump only ran for office for his own self interest to get out of debt and trouble, and he wants the recognition, but he is unable to act as a President. He is lashing out at our friends in order to create intimidation by our enemies but they are not stupid. They know the USA now has a vacuum as leadership, there is no US President for the next 4 years only an actor playing games.
If I was China I would invade Taiwan but there is a risk that Trump is so inept that he just lets the Pentagon do whatever they want which could be more aggresive than under a real active President that might restrain them so it's not clear cut. However Trump could get scared, yes, I mean it, he could get very scared and prevent any US action meaning that China gets Taiwan without a fight. If the USA fails totally on it's commitment to Taiwan then the power the West holds is over. There is no way to recover from that. The job of NATO, Europe, UK, Australia, Japan and all western powers is to be able to lead, becasue for the next 4 years the USA can't.

No, western countries share the same principles freedom for all people, legal fairness and order, Democratic system, free media, free internet, no controls over the population and open and honest share of information China did all of these except Democracy everything else China become western but since Xi Jinping took power China has been removing the Reforms and destroying the trust and faith with the western world. Look at how the Chinese government is acting with wolf warrior behavior how can any country be positive about China? Look at it. It is China and it's Dictator Xi Jinping who is rolling back 40 years of reforms in China and removing YOUR freedom as a Chinese person, look around you.... I have been to China multiple times I know what is happening in China I have seen it. China is going backwards in time to the 1960s before the reforms so when a country like Germany sees what is happening in China they see risk, the risk of China becoming authoritarian war monger nation, going to war, and Germany cannot risk losing critical trade and going in to economic chaos because of decisions made by Xi Jinping so it has to de-risk it has no option due to the changes inside China and how it's dictator is acting. If China wants to stop the world from leaving it then #1 stop removing the reforms which made China part of the global economy and #2 replace Xi Jinping with a leader who is not a war monger and dictator #3 being back the reforms that made China what it is today.

So you don't need any roads, waste, water, electricity, police, medical services, social security or other assistance programs, you don't need defense you don't need an economic system, you don't need quality standards for food and housing. OK, you don't need any of that, but this country has 350 MILLION people, someone is going to need those services, what about them? Maybe you don't care about other people.

The Roman Empire provided the population in the empire good reason to continue to support the system, it provided infrastructure, a unified language, trade links and routes, a system of standards, so many aspects that various peoples continued to benefit from. This is pretty similar to the EU what keep the European Union together is the benefits outweigh the negatives. Some people make a connection between the USA and Rome but they are total opposites, the USA destroyed 3 maybe 4 empires, British, French, Japanese Empires were torn down and also the end of the USSR which I see as an Empire. The USA has always advocated and fought for self determination which will not allow another empire to rise. While the USA does set global economic foundation it is only a minor benefit to the USA and it is not an Empire that is for sure, the USA does not control global trade which 50% of it is NOT in USD for example and with so many nations having strong armies no single power can overwhelm the world order as enough nations will stand up and defend it. Today's world order is one dominated by shared interest rather than any single nation. The USA is not Rome, it is the Anti-Rome. The USA is the hordes coming to take down any empire that even thinks of coming to be, Putin wants a new Russian Empire, hell no, not on the USA's watch. China would love to expand a bit, just a little, hell no, not going to happen. Saddam thought he could, no he could not. USA is the Anti-Rome.

House prices rising slowly over 10 years can eat up the 2% rate all by itself and prices naturally want to rise since we are heading to a slowdown or reverse of Globalization, the FED needs to come out and say LISTEN PEEPS, We are DE-GLOBALIZING , but we want full employment and rising home prices so yeah, listen up 4% is our new target and you know what? I am prefectly fine with that. 4% inflation does not mean your food goes up by 4% it means a combination of housing, fuel, goods from stores, food, services between them all share the 4% number which is fare with me, and look US employment reached record success at over 4% inflation the US economy wants inflation, give it some.

The US Dollar is backed by a country of over 300 million people who go to work every day and make stuff in factories or spend money and no matter the world situation those people still go out there and do things, COVID, hurricane it does not matter, people need things, they need food, they need shelter, they need a billion things so no matter what happens there is a real foundation for any currency FIAT or Gold standard or whatever, a nation and it's people are the value of a currency. However, Crypto has what foundation of what? That people trust new money will roll in the door tomorrow? It is like a team based game of faith, oh oh, here, fall back, we'll catch you bro, don't worry, we'll catch you.

@kenseitakesi4521 No, not at all. ALL systems of governance are unfair. There is no fair system. The Bolsheviks who were city dwellers, factory workers, were upset at rural people and farmers so they took their land away from them causing a Famine. The Communists forced everyone to work for free for the Government and gave them money allowance in return but this robbed the people of the real value of their work.
and modern Socialist WELLFARE systems tend to give money to psychologically seen as weak people, single mothers, woman of any age, elderly people, people with injury or disability, people with mental issues, immigrants, only at the VERY VERY bottom of the pile of people for welfare will you find the normal guy just trying to live another day. Maybe that guy has no path in life, for work, they don't care.... So if YOU want a Socialist or Communist system based on Welfare it is VERY unfair system depending on who or what you are.

@vlhc4642 That's not true, the USA is not parasitic at all or it would not exist. The USA produces more food, oil and gas then it needs and exports large quantity of all of these items to the world. The USA also owns companies that have locations all over the world like Nike, McDonalds, Starbucks and the profits return back to the USA. Also the USA is a leader in military weapons light F35 fighter jets and again is a major exporter, and the USA also leads in software like Apple, Microsoft, Cloud software and so much else which the world pays the USA money to buy. The USA cost of manpower is VERY high one of the most expensive countries in the world for cost of manpower which is why the USA imports so much goods, clothing, tools, parts because Americans are very expensive as their value is very high from making high profiting goods. The result is that the USA has to buy goods from other countries which is a healthy as it means countries like Taiwan, Japan, China get to rise out of poverty by selling goods to Americans. It's only fair to spread wealth globally as it cerates peace and stability.

@philiplaw2072 That is funny you know why? Because if tomorrow there is war between China and the USA, China only loses from war. It's the USA that lost over the last 40 years industry, manufacturing, jobs, trade, to China due to competition from China. if war occurs between China and the USA then the USA automatically wins as trade ends and there is no more competition from China. The Chinese government wants China to become an advanced economy and that means selling goods to he west, airplanes, cars, ship, trains, technology and this disappears if there is war there is no loner anu competition for the USA and so the growth in the west and the USA would be incredible. China only loses from war so this issue about balloons is very funny becasue this is only good for the west as these events bring war closer and closer it is only negative for China.

The USA was much more divided in the 1960s and 70s, Vietnam war, civil rights, mass peace protests, threat of nuclear war with the USSR, the change in culture with music and hipster way of life forced higher value of manpower by masses of Americans stopping to take part in work force, this forced manufacturing to leave the USA and opening up the door to China, the process lead to massive inflation in the 1970s and 80s only solved as outsourcing increased. Today we are in the opposite situation, middle class has moved up to tech and government and finance at insane out of balance income levels while workers in retail are crushed by technology and workers in logistics, manufacturing, industry, services sector are basically below middle class now what needs to happen is a re-balance a period of high inflation to raise the bottom up and we kind of saw that with the recent inflation run but I think in a few years we will see the real deal when China cuts off trade maybe due to war and the cost of goods explodes in the USA and people will pay anything for items they want to buy and that will allow companies to begin to re-industrialize at least partly, maybe a more fair and split system with less Tech and Finance and more wealth in industry and manufacturing that's why I call it a re-balance.

@charlesbrightman4237 a. Money has to keep moving or else the economy will crash!!!! This is not an opinion this is a FACT. My company buys goods and we store them some 8 months in advance if the customer does not buy because your economy has 0% movement the walls fall down, it is as simple as that. Merchandise is not sold, workers are fired, then customers will reduce spending as they lose jobs, home prices crash... So you started with wanting 0% you end up -20% you have no clue how an economy works. 0% today is a crash tomorrow, things have to keep moving unless you have a Soviet system run by the government and since people don't want that shit it means civil war. Simple.
b You suddenly talk about a fair wage? What the hell man? You talk about a 0% growth and then fair wage? You can't pay a fair wage unless the economy is growing, fucking oxymoron.... you know nothing about economics at all!! If I pay my workers a good salary it is when we are making record sales and economy is up way up, if sales fall, people and salaries go down so 0% means no fair income. The economy is like waves in the ocean, up and down, more and less, it is never standing still which is why 0% movement = DEAD economy, everyone loses their jobs and businesses close up, simple is it not??
c. black market? used items? What the fuck man, do you realize those don't just happen those are the past items of what was produced. If you have no production then you won't have past used items to exist in the first place. You make no sense at all. If you stop production, you can't just start it up again some day in the future, a factory that stops is a factory that will never work again, machines fall apart and decay, and if you have no production for new goods you wont have any past goods to sell used.....
d. The Government can't create money the central bank can but they are not the government it is private entity. You know Public vs Private? Public = government, Private = you and me.
e. you just go in to some crazy ass rant about stuff you don't know anything at all about. Just because you think something works the way you think it does yet it does not... is just you lying to yourself... this is not the real world so you are coming up with ideas that are not possible or plain wrong, simple as that.

My Audi A6 reached 104k miles and it started falling apart, bad catalytic converters, bad O2 sensors, wiring started to fry even though I never modified the car, I did not install anything at all. The radiator sprung external leaks for no reason and the car started to misfire, emissions alarms, break sensor went bad, battery had parasitic draw so kept losing charge, total fucking mess. I spent a lot of money and it just broke more. I did take care of it, always new fluids, never over heated but it still went bad. I ended up trading it in at an Acura dealer for a used Acura MDX. They gave me like $3000 for the Audi which really surprised me maybe they though they could fix it but it never showed up for sale on their website so I assume they sent it to auction. Strange.

if China takes control over Taiwan, they will split the opposition forces in half, Korea, Hawaii/USA, Canada, will be stuck North of Taiwan, and the rest of Asia will be south of Taiwan. China will split the opposition forces in two and disconnect them. This is why China wants Taiwan so much, not because of old maps saying it was once part of China or that the nationalist forces control Taiwan but because taking over Taiwan means regional total power. The problem for the future is that China will play dirty, they will threaten to cut all trade with countries that support Taiwan and try and break the alliance against China in Asia using economic war and then offering a way out of bad economic situations by joining the Chinese side and remove support for Taiwan, this is what China did in Sri Lanka but other big countries in Asia are the main goal. As long as the people of countries like Indonesia, Malaysia and Vietnam support Taiwan then governments cannot fall for China's tricks but China will try very hard to take control perhaps by causing economic problems, social fights, chaos, even assassination of leaders.

@stackmanstack Dont be a clown. Trump FORCED the ATF to ban bumpps stocks so even on 2A Trump is a total liar, he did NOTHING for gun rights, did he disband the ATF registry? No. Did he remove stuff from the ATF list? No instead he added MORE STUFF. Trump is faker, he is a fake republican, he is a New York big city real estate developer mogul, is that a republican or conservative material? Of course not. He is FAKE. 2016, 2020 that's enough. Say no to Trump in 2024 stealing the Conservative name for his own cult of personality. Trump also built a fake wall with Mexico, it is made out of silly metal pipes shoved in the ground that are a total joke, anyone can cut them down in seconds, or even squeeze though, my guess is that Trump and his buddies stole as much cash as possible from the border wall money and spent the least possible to build it which is why it is a worthless wall.

The problem with Socialism more than any of it's endless list of flaws is that simply it cannot adapt to the cyclical nature of humanity. There are always cycles to society, world economy and order and Socialism is simply unable to adapt to these changes, Governments can NEVER reduce their size only grow larger and larger, by it's most fundamental form, Socialism is unable to shrink. Capitalism, companies, private pocket books can all shirk during hard times and reduce expense, to pay off debts to leverage against increase risks in the environment but Socialism can do NONE of this. This is why the Soviet Union collapsed it could not shrink during a global recession that occurred in 1990 and lost control and collapsed. Recessions occur to Communist nations, Socialist nations it is a human nature and unless the system of state can adjust then it will fail too. Capitalism will force bad preforming companies, stores and individuals to fail and make way for new development or people with opportunities to expand in their place, Socialism offers none of this, it is inflexible dead end and will eventually fail. Every country that boasts about Socialist programs is funding them using Capitalist systems or else it would end up like Venezuela and that could still happen in the future. Unfunded Social programs are stifling western economies and could in the future risk global stability and economies once again due to the failures of Social programs inability to shrink their sizes to account for a changing human environment.

The island trees were "Old Growth" these are very slow growing trees that grew when the island had a different climate and were able to survive until imperialism thanks to a combination of small local tribes that did not use the resources and enough nutrient in the soil from wind blowing soils from other islands like Cuba or even from the continent, maybe from Florida as well which itself is made of Sediment, loose soil. The trees that were cut down for their value in ship building and sent to Europe were never able to grow back naturally and as such was a finite resource. The island then used the limited layer of nutrients in the soil to grow sugar plantations which also was finite and when the soil quality degraded in short time, the plantations had failed as well. Today the island is mostly made up of typical common tropical Brush species of plants and trees will not grow back naturally unless both planted and maintained by humans. You can see this type of situation all over the world, the best example is UK, Denmark, Iceland, Netherlands, all of these European countries cut down all of their trees for ship building and finally what was left for the industrial revolution, leaving behind mostly grass lands today, forests can re-grow in the right set up like you can find in UK but this is mostly for commercial use as the cost to repair the soil before planting is incredibly expensive.

You are watching too much Russian propaganda my friend. All of the news, media in Russia is owned by friends of Putin so you only ever get 1 side of the information and you read online nationalist bullshit by other Russians but you need to remember that Russia is a country that cannot survive isolated from the world in a bubble so it is not good for your own personal future. Putin and his friends have stolen 1 trillion of oil and gas profits form Russian people, instead of better life, cities, roads, school, it was stolen form you by Putin. Look at what Putin has done to your country, made you go to war for no reason, stolen your money, yes Putin was a good leader for 15 years but a very very bad leader for the last 10 years. You can have a good leader that become bad and Putin is proof, he has been in power too long and forgot he is there to work for the Russian people.

It is important to point out that it is NOT just outsourcing to Asia but industry became highly automated, and as Americans moved South and West industry followed. Look at where industry is growing today in Texas, Georgia, Nevada, Utah, WA Change is the name of the game Look at Europe, the fastest growing cities are 1000s of years old, BORING, no dream there, look at the USA the fastest growing cities most of them did not even exist 100 years ago. That's the American dream my friend, change, dynamism not being scared to break the game and pick up the pieces, that is the American dream, it's a process not an end point. You want an end point? Go to Europe or Japan stuck in the past.

@claudinefiona9698 Putin is 100% a dictator he has ruled Russia by force for 25 years, Putin and his oligarchs control the Media in Russia so all information is propaganda and lies. Every second of media, news, in Russia is following the official Government status nothing is real. Putin and his friends have stolen 1 trillion Dollars from the Russian people, instead of new schools, roads, cities, and a good life for you like people in UAE, Saudi, Qatar, Russians live like filth in old Soviet buildings and old broken cities and poor life because the money is STOLEN. Wake up to what Putin has done to you for 25 years. He has stolen your future.

Los Angeles area has run out of land to build on, from mountains to water it's all built up. Just look at Google Satellite Map, you have no land left. Time to pack up and move out. This is a BIG country and tons and tons of options, Spokane WA, Tri Cities WA, Sacramento area, Reno, Las Vegas, Salt Lake, Boise, The South, Mid-west, so many options and these people shove in to LA? Come on now.

@floof6896 The USA is more unified as a country than any other country in the world. You can travel to all corners of the USA and find the same way of life, the same culture and people. There is no difference in how you live life in small town in Montana and a big city in Texas or California and you can go and live anywhere you want even if you are Russian and don't speak much English or have a strong Russian accent, no one cares, the USA is individualistic country everyone will leave you alone to do as you desire in life the same way in any corner of the USA. The USA is an individualistic culture and is the same anywhere you go. No one cares what your believe in, or how you think, that is your freedom to do anything you want. This is why the USA is more unified than any country in the world because there is no divide in the fundamental ideas of the USA. Everything bad you hear, read, learned about the USA is just people emotions, not reality. This is American political manipulation of the world for games but it is not reality. Americans on day by day, do not care about politics at all, so everything you hear Political from the USA is just for elections and mental games Americans play, but it is not day to day reality.

Russia is playing in the same game as every one, if you have no faith in your country, would you take risks and invest in starting a new business?? No, you will do the least you need to survive, there will be limited use of an education in the future of Russia without western companies paying more for educated people to work for their companies... So education value will fall, starting your own company will also be less common, this is no an issue for today, but it is for tomorrow and the future generations will suffer from this in Russia. In the west you have high price of human work, but cheap price of goods, in Russia you will have the other way around, cheap price of human work and high price of goods. The problem is that the western way is sustainable long term, the Russian way is not sustainable and will make everyone equal but poor. The CCCP has prove that system dose not work and Putin is now trying it yet another time...

The problem for China is that the population on Taiwan will become fanatical, I have to stress this, they will fight ruthless even more so than Ukraine. Ukraine has only been split from Russia for 30 years, China has been split from Taiwan for 70 years. China was in full Wolf Warrior madness until the Ukraine war then took a seat back down and figured out that was not smart move and put an end to Wolf Warrior games, that is gone now. China will probably fail to conquer Taiwan leading to a long term military standoff, China would lose all trade with the West and much of the world that will support Taiwan like other nations in SE Asia. Russia as a result, will lose most exports to China because the resources Russia exports to China end up going in to products made for the WEST funny ha? Russia probably does not want a China-Taiwan war even more than the west. Think about it. Russia has a lot to lose from such a war. The west will re-industrialize as it's population have desired for decades which will boost their GDP to counter inflation and shortages. The west lifted HUNDREDS of millions of Chinese out of poverty and such a war will send them back in to Poverty which will not make those people very happy, it would take China more than propaganda to subdue hundreds of millions of Chinese people so China will be facing an internal revolt. No doubt about that. Except Hong Kong to have a rebellion, perhaps even Sichuan will revolt. Yeah I think a China-Taiwan war will go very very poorly for China and the west will re-gain its lost industry. It's almost so positive for the west that I can imaging some people in the west actually wanting this war to happen, split with China which is a rising advance economy, send it back down to the toilet, re-industrialize the west, Russia will be in total chaos from collapse of all exports, the west comes out of this like Kings.

Russia is a sad old broken country. Russia has no religion and I think that is part of the issue they are on search for an identity that does not exist, when you hear Eastern Orthodox Church think of one word, SUPERSTISTION, Russian people who claim they are Christians go about life in their cars and homes with little trinkets of various Russian Saints but that is out of superstition alone (Russians do not even know the history of these Saints they carry around) and Russian Churches never see the Public except if a loved one is lost they go for a pat on the back. Christianity in Russia is totally 100% fake. They cannot even legally have a sermon, well the public never goes, Church attendance is like 1% and a Sermon is not allowed to talk about current affairs or news or opinion. It's all BS.
And the same goes for this guy Solovyov, he is fake, he is just a strange deceptive idea like some Alex Jones guy but Alex is a run of the mill Libertarian who does not like authority or being told what to do and is willing to create a world around him to make his views a reality. Solovyov is totally the opposite he tows the party line, he uses conspiracy as a tool to justify Putin's existence and play in to the Russian Nationalist Imperialist Thrust for some meaning on the world stage for a country stuck in the 1800s. Like it is missing some empire they will never be. The uneducated low IQ average Russian who makes less money per month than some 3rd world countries fills in their void in life. Putin has on purpose denied Russia the future it could have had being part of the West, taking in western technology companies, Microsoft had offices in Russia, many western tech companies saw a future in Russia but after 2014 that story was over. Putin has denied Russia a good future similar to other Eastern European countries but you can compare Poland to Russia and that tells the story.

@tomzeitler5648 That's becasue people demand higher wages, since the baby boomers and their parents promised a better life after WW2 so sent their kids to university, and this lead to a lack of Blue collar workers and so factory workers seeing huge BOOM in demand for goods with the rising baby boomer population demanded higher pay = MASSIVE protests, union strikes in 1970s and 1980s leading to outsourcing to Asia. Well first it was Italy and Japan and now China and in the future India and Africa, the thing is Americans always want better, more, less work, more money. It is not that the Dollar is falling, against other currencies it is pretty strong right now, decades high against the YEN and Euro. So what is going on? It is wages. Why is it so expensive for you to fix your car? Its not the parts made in China its the labor, the manhours are a fooookin fortune. How do you fix this? We need more Americans, more immigrations more children, more babies. This country has room for easily 1 billion people like China but we only have like 330 million so yeah we need lots and lots and lots of people then labor will be cheap and prices will fall.
It s a mistake to think inflation is the problem, the USA has had 12 years of low inflation from 2008 to 2020 forcing the FED to buy bonds and provide QE. What we need is more people in this country to reduce the cost of manpower. That's the freaking root of the problem. Americans are getting older not younger = less people working. Old people in their 50s are not going to fix your car for cheap you need young kids in their 20s and 30s but take your car in to a garage what do you see? OLD GUYS. That's the problem.

Havana Syndrome theory is probably Russian Propaganda but I must explain that the only outcome to the Human body from radiation of HF radio or Microwave is one outcome and that is HEAT, like when you talk on a phone up against your head for a long time what is the outcome? HEAT your ear and head will get HOT. Living tissue, matter, biological matter gets HOT from radiation vibrating the cells. This will not cause PAIN or Suffering or ringing noise but instead it will cause HEAT. Due to this fact I would claim that the Havana Syndrome itself, the idea, theory is Russian Propaganda but the people making the claims of being harmed are likely being over-worked, are taking some medication, or suffering some other issues but this is not some secret weapon as no such device with any technology can cause that, the only wireless tool is HF radio, Microwave, radiation but this cannot cause the symptoms listed. The only technology would be a blast of sound wave but the victim would clearly know what was going on, it is pretty darn obvious.

This video is missing the reason why these crashes happen, in 1929 it was a long run of massive innovations, Radio, airplanes, home appliances, electricity, telephone, cars, ENDLESS new innovations and like all cycles eventually it overheats, peoples money is already spent and so sales decline, and the money that goes in to the stock market itself reduces consumption of goods, it is simply due to the adoption rate slows down like all new innovations and peoples money is tied up in the bull stock market eventually reducing consumption. In a funny way it is the stock bull market that popped the bubble as so much money went in to the stock market it reduced consumption.
Also you MUST look at the Business cycle in the context of such a video not just in the financial cycle but Psychological cycle as well. Humans rush to buy something new and that drives growth but eventually even a MASSIVE wave of new innovation slows down as these new innovations run out of customers in the first adoption wave.
We are today in 2024 possibly only just getting started on the motherload of all innovation runs, not only AI but automation of manufacturing and a totally brand new wave of industrialization. Imagine the year is 2040 and you have hundreds of new factories that finally break the problem of high cost of wages in the USA and BOOM hundreds of new factories with few people working there, but then after some decades we produce too much stuff and the entire system slows down with over production. This could play out in the future who knows? The Business cycle, the metal adoption and eventually exhaustion plays out over and over.
2000 was tech bubble, 2008 was housing bubble 2029? Ai bubble?

@alexsoccer1196 Except that he is right about food prices and immigration, if you want cheap food then let them in. Why are you blocking farmers from access to cheap labor? Maybe you think that the food you buy is magically grown, picket and transported to the store but no, it takes a person with 2 hands to yank out of the ground you food, every freaking item you buy is picked by a human, so you need cheap labor or else you will see food prices explode like never in history. It's not just that non immigrants want holidays off, weekends off, high pay, but they are lazy too, you pay an America to pick fruit the guy will be on his phone 50% of the time and work slowly and lazy. The guys coming over are DESPERARTE for money to send back home to their family, they are willing to risk death to come here so they work hard very hard and for cheap so you can buy food cheaply in return.

@Golladan YES BUT ONLY ON STUFF WE CAN MAKE HERE!!!!!!!!!!! If YOU RAISR TARIFFS ON STUFF WE CANNNNOT MAKE HERE YOU REDUCE QUALITY OF LIFE!
Read this clearly, ONLY raise Tariffs on Stuff we make here!!!! If you raise Tariffs on CLOTHING, SHOES, School supplies, Machines, Car parts, chemicals, Kitchne tools, car repair tools, Power Tools, Electronics, TRUST ME , NO AMERICAN IS GOING TO MAKE YOU THAT STUFF. So you just raise the price for NO return. That is just a new tax to make you poor.
Americans will NEVER make you a Laptop or a Smart Phone or shoes or shirts or anything of that sort because American labor is too expensive. Chinese will make you that stuff for PENNIES on the Dollar becasue life in China is much cheaper. So let them make you the stuff for cheap and you get to buy more and have a better quality of life. If you can afford to buy a new Refrigerator, and new phone, and new tools, and a new E-Bike do you not want higher quality of life? If you force Americans to make it for your it will cost you 10x more, so now you cannot buy anything. Why do you not own only tools made by SNAP ON???? Ha??? ha??? ha???? Because its too expensive. If your only Choice is Expensive American made, you OWN LESS STUFF = LOWER QUALITY OF LIFE. THINK!

This video totally misses the much bigger issues. Organic matter, fertilizer only lasts a few months so it won't make the trip to mars and it needs to be replenished constantly. You might think that dead plant matter can turn in to fertilizer for the next cycle but decomposing plants will not break down without insects at least not fast enough to be useful and insects cannot survive the trip to Mars without Oxygen and constant cycles of life and a lot of food that Humans need. Another major issue is that most vegetables need heat and sun regardless of having a greenhouse. You see, a greenhouse needs heat source and constant watering to kick of the cycle that leads to stable humidity. Heating a greenhouse is done by the sun or using propane or natural gas on Earth and this is simply not possible on Mars. Sure you can have a field of solar panels and under floor heating in a greenhouse as well as batteries for heating at night but I have to say this is a major major undertaking and I have done this exact this in my own greenhouse and results are not good at all and very very unpredictable. So, for Mars you would need, greenhouses, organic matter, solar panels, heat source, battery backup, seeds, a system to melt water, filter the water, pump and transport the water, water lines for the greenhouse and a large amount of tools. With all due respect, I have done all of this and I have to say it is very very hard on Earth so doing this with all of the hardships of Mars is simply not going to work. Humans on Mars need a different source of food, growing it is just not going to work. I think that Humans cannot survive on Mars, it is as simple as that. Mars as a planet died, it is indeed a dead planet as it is still today losing what little is left of its atmosphere to space. Every day that goes by Mars just becomes well, more dead. Is this really a place humans will find their future? No.

@g0679 What is the outcome? No global trade, every country takes over their own water access and demands massive taxes and blocks access for competing countries so trade falls apart, maybe some global trade deals but that has to be limited to countries next door to each other or a group of countries that can be connected somehow by land or sea but the world without the USA is a world decoupled, a world that will go to massive wars over land and resources and trade links and access, just a fucking mess. Sure the world can do without the USA but then there is no law its everyman for himself, we have been there for hundreds of years it was only the British Empire and now the USA that holds the game together. If you think China will show up some corner of the world to protect other countries trade routes out of their good will? Fucking think again, they dont give 1 shit it's only what serves them. The USA sacrificed its own industry and ship building and everything to the benefit of the world and enjoy a period of low inflation in return but if the world kicks out the USA then it will close the door and re-industrialize in a country that has the resources, more land for agriculture than any other country and a low population to easily meet all needs for millennia so they don't need the outside world, just got to keep adding more nuclear weapons and more counter measures and be untouchable and the USA can live in isolation like fucking Kings with no debts and crazy wealth while the rest of the world is suffering famines, wars, trade collapse, end to free access of the seas and whatever else goes down. Is that a good world to live in? No. The EU will be long gone by then and war will return to Europe probably just Russia taking out anger on millions and millions of people and eating up most of Europe but would that harm the USA? No. This is why Putin was depressed that the USA countered him he expected to USA to just leave Ukraine alone because Russia taking over Ukraine is good for the USA it keeps a sword hanging over Europe which is a competitor to the USA so it helps the USA by Russia threatening Europe but he failed to see that the USA would support the democracy and freedom that people of Ukraine desire out of the Good will of Americans so the mentality in the USA to support people that want self determination is not yet gone, it will some day but not yet.

It will also hit every thing you buy, Almost all potatoes, onions, corn, huge amount of fruit and veg is grown in Idaho, Oregon, Montana, Washington and it all depends on Canada for natural gas to produce fertilizer so expect HUUUGE price hikes and shortages. If farmers can't get fertilizer the fields go dead. I don't think people realize the impact that is coming. Prepare for major Food price hikes across the USA and Canada, fast food, restaurants, everything, and price hikes on fuel, diesel that will hike all transport prices. Every item in the store has to be trucked in and that is going to cost a lot more. If inflation really explodes and we have shortages then expect the FED to hike interest rates that will make housing cost much more and cars too and growth will slow down. This is a major economic damage for no reason, the leader of Canada already resigned and they have elections in a few months when the right wing stands to win..... So why a tariff war now?

Whatifalthist is WRONG!!!! ALL civil wars in human history have been the same, Land Owners/Farmers VS Urban communal core.... The Revolution in Russia was between the land owners, the Tsar and their power base VS and the city urban dwellers, The French Revolution, the same. Also the American civil war, again was a struggle between Land Owners, who farmed their land with Slaves in the South VS the Urban, advanced, developed North. It is always the same, Urban vs rural. Republicans and Democrats are not the factions that could EVER lead to civil war in the USA becasue both are a mixture of land owners AND urban dwellers. Republicans and Democrats are not factions that can EVER have a civil war, that is a total and utter Phantom. What would lead to Civil war in the USA? It would be the people who are not benefiting from the current order, 62% of Americans of working age are actually working, the 38% of Americans who are not working, that's who would be willing to fight a civil war. They are not Republicans OR Democrats they are people left behind by globalization and they would demand an end to it. They rally behind Trump today, but he is no savior he is full of cheap slogans and false promises becasue Trump can't give them work and a better future. No one can. So they will turn against the Republicans just as much as the Democrats, this is not in the confined of the political order as it stands today.

Not true, BRIC produce resources (Brazil, Russia, South Africa, and others) and sell it to countries that use the resources to make Products: China, Vietnam, India, and others, most of the products are sold to the west, so BRIC depends on the west buying goods.
If BRIC makes the Dollar weaker it means Americans buy less Products made in China, Vietnam, India and others and as a result these countries need to buy less resources made in Brazil, Russia, South Africa, and others. So by making the Dollar WEAKER, BRIC harm themselves. There is no way out of the Dollar system.
If BRIC stops using Dollars totally, 100% no more Dollars, the demand for goods in the USA made outside the country will collapse to 0% as the cost will be much higher. The USA has no problem to re-industrialize, it has the resources, manpower, land, water, no issue, but the world will lose the #1 buying power that funds most of the demand in the world = large collapse of production, mining, industry in every country. Chinese people are much more numerous than USA people 1.4 billion to 330 million but they buy much less items and much cheaper items. Chinese people consumption: 6.5 Trillion. USA People consumption: 17.5 Trillion.

Most of the Fertilizer in Washignton and Idaho uses Natural gas to produce it that comes from Canada - the fertilizer itself is made in USA but the natural gas to run the facilities is almost all from Canada so expect 25% price hike. Most of the Potatoes, Onion, Cabbage, edible corn you buy in the store all comes from Idaho and WA state - also most of the apples, Cherries, peaches, pears, wine, grapes, hops, winter wheat, soy comes from WA and Idaho. The list is huge. When you go to buy items to grill this summer anywhere in the USA and Onion, Potatoes and Corn is up in price this is why. 90% of the edible corn is grown in WA state - the corn you see growing in the mid-west like Iowa and Kansas is for animal feed or for producing Ethanol not for human consumption that comes from WA and it depends on Canadian natural gas to produce US fertilizer.

Nonsense, Trump will support Ukraine in the end becasue that is where he can pressure Putin. Trump has no cards against Putin so of course he will support Ukraine. You people, probably Russians have no idea how global strategy works. Putin is the man at the table, Trump wants to make a name for himself, joining Putin's side has 0 value, it will gain Trump NOTHING. So of course Trump will play both sides, he will promise RECORD aid to Ukraine if Putin fails to comply with Trump's demands. If Russia fails to comply, BOOM Massive weapons will be sent to Ukraine more than Biden by far. Be careful of Trump is not what you think. He will play diplomatic games, maybe just maybe Putin finds a way to keep the diplomatic game going for a long time, for a few months to years, that will delay everything. If Trump falls for it then it is an issue, but I think instead he will make a push to send record arms to Ukraine if Putin fails to comply. This is why Russia is not that happy with Trump, they might act like they are but in reality they are not yet sure how this will play out.

My personal guess is that the FED will be forced to lower rates already this year, yes even if they raise the rate today, they will still be forced to lower the rates perhaps much sooner then people imagine, my personal guess just throwing it out in the air, is before August. Why? in 2008 the trigger was people running out of cash and the same can happen again even with people locked in at low rates, even with stimulus cash, even with low employment numbers, why? Because people panic, people sell, and while we do need prices to come down we do not want CHAOS, this needs to be moderate pace over years which the FED can easily do by setting rates at a fair increased rate but not at 5% maybe 4% or 3.5%. A slow and steady 4 years of house price declines will prevent the public from running out of cash like they did in 2008. So the FED kicked in the door and now will need to calm everything down and moderate. Yes, we want house prices to fall but we don't want chaos, that will harm all of us regardless.

Except that he is right about food prices and immigration, if you want cheap food then let them in. Maybe you think that the food you buy is magically grown, picket and transported to the store but no, it takes a person with 2 hands to yank out of the ground you food, every freaking item you buy is picked by a human, so you need cheap labor or else you will see food prices explode like never in history. It's not just that non immigrants want holidays off, weekends off, high pay, but they are lazy too, you pay an America to pick fruit the guy will be on his phone 50% of the time and work slowly and lazy. The guys coming over are DESPERARTE for money to send back home to their family, they are willing to risk death to come here so they work hard very hard and for cheap so you can buy food cheaply in return.

@kindlingking Let me educate you, the CCCP was destroyed by China, and last 50 years China has taken all industry out of Russia, why do you think so many Russian industry is empty, dead buildings, factory? It is all now in China. What is left of Russian industry will be in China soon and only thing leaving Russia alive right now is the war, after that is over the rest will be moved to China as well. It is not the west that killed CCCP, it is China and now they are finishing the job. Russian art is from 100 years ago, there has no no culture and no art out of Russia in 100 years. Russia is not Christian, if you have been in Russia like me you will know it is all lies, it is superstition not religion. Russian people have heavy superstition but that is NOT Christianity. There are almost no Christians in Russia.

Putin is obsessed with the end of the Soviet Union and see it as a humiliation just like Hitler was obsessed with the end of the Weimar Republic and also saw it as a humiliation. Let's continue....
The similarities between Hitler and Putin is on every level and endless...
1. Both Hitler and Putin are Nationalists, they see their nation as their own property and only care about the nation itself, Hitler was the Nation, Putin is the Nation. National-Zotialisim = NA-ZI Both Hitler and Putin are Nationalists.
2.Invasion of neighbor countries to "save" German people for Hitler or Russian people for Putin. They both claim that other countries belong to them. They are very similar in thinking, Hitler and Putin are identical, they think the same.
3. Using Swastika as Symbol for Hitler to represent Nationalism, and the joy of CHAOS and causing destruction to innocents, the same as "Z" for Putin, creating the TRANCE of war of causing murder and rape to innocence.
4. The organization of the economy in control by Oligarchs, same for Hitler and Putin. Russian economy is very similar to German economy in WW2, oligarchs own all the companies under consolidation of power.
5. Disconnecting the economy of the country from the western world, same for Hitler and Putin.
6. Progression of Extremism, Both Hitler and Putin become more radical and extreme as time goes on, they are very very similar on this. Hitler did not know how far he would go, Putin also does not know how far he will go either.
7. Cult of personality, Hitler had a Government but managed and micro-managed every aspect of the country and every question at the end leads to Hitler, Putin is the same, Russia has a "government" but every question has to go to Putin to answer. They are identical.
8. Hitler and Putin both analyze the world in a reality that does not exist, they invent a world around them that is FAKE, they both think the same way. The Soviet Union was never like this, it had a very organized structure even when a vacuum was left like after the death of Stalin but that was nothing comapred to the current state of Russia which is just like Hitler's government.
9 10 11 12 13 14 ..... endless list of similarities I don't have room here to list them all...

Hitler claimed that ALL German people belong to Germany, they are his ARYAN people, HIS PEOPLE, and as such he had justification to unify the German people by invading all of his neighbors, Czech, Poland, Australia, Denmark, Northlands, Putin does the same thing, he claims that Russian people all belong to him, they belong to the Russian NATION, that belong to PUTIN and as such Putin has justification to invade all countries with Russian nationals. There is a CLEAR element of RACE in both Hitler and Putin. I have a feeling Putin is Anti-Semitic but has been able to successfully hide it for 20 years but as he becomes more radial the Anti-Semitism will come OUT of Putin and the Truth will be revealed. I feel that Jews in Russia are at risk!!!!

There is a MAJOR ERROR in this video, that error is that all economic cycles have to end. Russia created liquidity, Russia is spending large sums of money in the economy, Russia is paying large wages, Russia is hiring manpower for the war, Russia has taken action to safe guard the economy, however the velocity of the actions taken will combine to force a change in economic cycles or risk breaking the economy, rising inflation, devaluation of the currency are right now signs the cycle is nearing an end.
Every time a nation takes economic actions the policies begin to accumulate an outcome until the forces and quantity is too large and the system cannot support the outcome, either the cycle and polices change or the outcome is let to unfold in most cases to a very bad outcome. Russia has only had it's new cycle and polices in action for a year and a few months, but the accumulation of outcome is already overpowering the Russian economy. Every economic cycle or policy has limited time, the most longevity I know of is Japan and it's yield control polices but that is a very unique situation and I highly doubt the Russian economy can withstand the current policies without breaking for much longer.

You never read the Memorandum !!! Here it is for you to read - this is very very short anyone can read it:
According to the three memoranda,[8] Russia, the US and the UK confirmed their recognition of Belarus, Kazakhstan and Ukraine becoming parties to the Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons and effectively removing all Soviet nuclear weapons from their soil, and that they agreed to the following:
Respect the signatory's independence and sovereignty in the existing borders (in accordance with the principles of the CSCE Final Act).[9]
Refrain from the threat or use of force against the territorial integrity or political independence of the signatories to the memorandum, and undertake that none of their weapons will ever be used against these countries, except in cases of self-defense or otherwise in accordance with the Charter of the United Nations.
Refrain from economic coercion designed to subordinate to their own interest the exercise by Ukraine, the Republic of Belarus and Kazakhstan of the rights inherent in its sovereignty and thus to secure advantages of any kind.
Seek immediate Security Council action to provide assistance to the signatory if they "should become a victim of an act of aggression or an object of a threat of aggression in which nuclear weapons are used".
Not to use nuclear weapons against any non–nuclear-weapon state party to the Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons, except in the case of an attack on themselves, their territories or dependent territories, their armed forces, or their allies, by such a state in association or alliance with a nuclear weapon state.[5]: 169–171 [10][11]
Consult with one another if questions arise regarding those commitments.[12][13]

Putin, the Tyrant of Moscow is indeed following the steps of no one else other than Adolf Hitler, why is that? Because Hitler began conquest of Europe under the RACIST ideology of unification of Germanic people, the Germans in Czechia, Sudeten land, Poland, Hungary, France, Belgium, Denmark, Austria this is the same ideology that Tyrant Putin of Moscow is pushing here, the unification of Slavic people, he took over lands of Russian people in Georgia, in Chechnya, in Crimea, in Donbas and now all of Ukraine, this is out of Adolf Hitler playbook. Using Racist views to start European conquest.

Russia taking Ukraine will be far far far far far far more expensive, as the USA will have to send 200,000 to 300,000 solders and massive costs, TRILLIONS of Dollars, to safe guard Poland, Romania, Hungary (Trump's little friend), Moldova, Slovakia, Bulgaria, and the Baltics. NOW that's expensive. Giving a few billion to Ukraine to hold back Russia is pennies, it's cheap.
Trump is a clown, so clowns by nature make mistakes to entertain us and Trump is a TV entertainer, and so mistakes will be made.

It might sound like a conspiracy but it is the Historical place for UK to leave the EU and act as a counter balance against large powers in Europe and indeed also benefit from that position, be it Napoleon, Ottomans, German reunification (x2) or the Soviets, so I would not be surprised if someone or someone's helped Brexit happen, regardless of Nigel Farage. On the other hand the situation in the USA was not dealt with well, Trump architected a split between China and the world and this is very successful. However, he wanted to devalue the dollar, reduce minimum wage, remove health regulations and bring manufacturing back to the USA from China to serve western countries, the USA absolutely has the resources and the manpower for this but the cost needs to be made possible which can be done with the right leader. However for one reason or another Trump was removed from power and while Joe Biden might agree with this path he has no ability to make it reality as his party raised minim wage and returned the environment regulations causing this major economic shift to come to a halt. So what will need to happen is that the USA will change to a republican president but this will have to be a leader from the likes of the greatest in history to really pull of this major world shift, there are a few people but it remains to be seen if US intelligence has the forward thinking to actually see this change through and the power to make it happen.

@MrHughk1 Currancy is just the legal money in a county like Euro in Germany. That is currancy, the local legal tender. But money is just all forms of liquid assets AKA cash or bitcoin or gold but it is all 100% real. Even back when we had Gold standards as people had less faith in Governments like in the 1800s so we had a gold standard to create trust but that system is a bit silly becasue it was fractional. No Government had 1 to 1, gold for every bit of local currancy issued it was always fractional, they only had a small amount of gold in the safe. These systems are very faulty, in 1965 France for some reason, still not 100% known today why, began to liquidate all of the assets in the USA, like bonds France bought and held at the US Treasury or properties that France owned in the USA like homes of diplomats or whatever. France began to sell them all and since they are a country, they could demand gold as payment and began to empty out the US gold reserve. VERY strange, most likely just Charles De Gule really just did not like America, France actually left NATO as well by the way so they really went nuts. This activity forced Richard Nixon to end the Gold standard in 1971 because of France's actions. Pretty wild. No wonder the USA and France have had a cold relationship for a long time so it was good to see Trump and Macron together at the recent re-opening of Notre Dam. I don't like Trump at all but it is important to keep good relations in the west.

The thing is that there is demand for the debt, there are buyers, people come knocking on your door asking to buy your debt, are you going to say NO? The future of the USA is one of growth, any issues with China will lead to a boom in industry, the painful years in the USA were the 1970s-2000s but those years are over, now it is time to roll back the clock, we fell down the mountain, now we get to hike back up. Look where the USA is going and that will tell you WHY people want to buy debt, I am buying US debt right now, you don't own any treasuries? The thing is, who has a brighter future? Germany who has been ultra conservative on spending or the USA? Who's debt would you prefer to buy?

Except that he is right about food prices and immigration, if you want cheap food then let them in. Why are you blocking farmers from access to cheap labor? Maybe you think that the food you buy is magically grown, picket and transported to the store but no, it takes a person with 2 hands to yank out of the ground you food, every freaking item you buy is picked by a human, so you need cheap labor or else you will see food prices explode like never in history. It's not just that non immigrants want holidays off, weekends off, high pay, but they are lazy too, you pay an America to pick fruit the guy will be on his phone 50% of the time and work slowly and lazy. The guys coming over are DESPERARTE for money to send back home to their family, they are willing to risk death to come here so they work hard very hard and for cheap so you can buy food cheaply in return.

@tabbycat8511 Banking laws and regulations were designed around a low interest rate reality, if you actually know the regulations you will see clearly how they were formed. Customer's did not make much return on their deposits and savings accounts or CDs so the banks pushed hard for other ways to counter-balance their liabilities to assets ratio requirements by pivoting to investment banking, M&As, direct investments all kinds of products and services and transactions, but if rates will remain high for the long term, then the banks will need to re-balance their entire platform going forward. Some banks were caught in a bind as the treasuries they held form excess cash flow during COVID were all put in to the long end bonds, and those collapsed in value as the FED hiked rates and the 10 year notes moved fast and we entered an Inverted Yield Curve, the banks as such, were stuck with paper they would take a loss on if cashed out and those that had to cash out risked going insolvent due to this problem. The Banks overall have since 2022, taken their coupon payments and so are now doing better, the banks however are still holding paper that they can't really sell so either they wait until the 10 year is up and finally roll the paper over to higher return or the yield curve un-inverts, rates fall and the banks are able to cash out early without taking a loss but that would mean rates have to fall dramatically and I really don't see that happening

Interesting failure I actually did not hear of this collapse. I think the main issue is that many of the bridges were built from a boost to federal funding but the states later lacked funds to maintain probably due to loss of population as people migrated to other states, especially from the Midwest and Northeast. After the 2001 earthquake here in Seattle and many bridges that were damaged although thankfully no one was killed, they created new codes and requirements including replacing most of the infrastructure in the state, such as tearing down the complicated 3 floor Alaska Way elevated highway that was just completed, and replacing it with underground tunnels, very expensive project and Federal funding was diverted to this probably at the expense of other states. Also the Longest floating bridge in the world had to be fully replaced to be Earthquake proof so another crazy expensive project here in Washington state and then you add on top the crazy population increase over 1 million people moved here in just a few years, so just everything had to be increased, the complicated mountain passes, very expensive projects as well, building a large light rail network, increasing the ferry boat network which is the largest network in the world of ferries.

He does not have to step down but he will make it harder to prevent Trump presidency. I am a Conservative and support state independence, rule of law, small government, less regulations and taxes, but I also Support Ukraine 10000% so for 2024, the firs time in my life I plan to voter for Democrats just for 1 reason, Ukraine. The country had a puppet leader operated by Russia against the will of the people of Ukraine, they overthrew the Russian puppet with the Orange Revolution and took their country back, just like what we in the USA did when we got rid of the British rule. It is our DUTY to help Ukraine, OUT DUTY and it is SHAMEFUL that Trump stands against Ukraine, fucking shameful. So I plan to vote Democrat to support Ukraine. I just wish they had someone stronger and younger than Biden but I will vote for him anyway.

It is important to note that many of the large companies are not in Seattle itself but the suburbs, Boeing factories , Microsoft offices, Amazon new HQ and many many technology companies area all spread out in the area, some companies having multiple offices in different cities/suburbs so the light rail is connecting not just the city to the suburbs but between suburbs themselves so pretty complicated project. Your map is also missing many more lines and stations part of T3 but it's all good. Overall cars are not going to disappear in fact new large highway projects are just as important as light rail and also getting large funding but the future is all options working together. It is important to note that Seattle area suburbs have difficult geography, high terrain changes, mountain side houses and apartment buildings, the are has steep elevation changes which makes walking, bicycling to/from work impossible for many most light rail stations have very large and FREE car parks so you can drive to your closest light rail station, park for the day and use the network to get around, the return at the end of the day, get your car and drive home.

The problem is that we don't have much to offer the world, people want to buy the cheapest goods on the market and that is not coming from the USA. You would have to crash the US economy, make every American poor, basically delete money and wealth Americans have to make them poor enough to work for pennies on the Dollar in factories, crash the US Dollar and then you can compete on exports with 3rd world countries. But is that what Americans really want? To be poor, to export cheap goods, to work hard for goods sold to other countries? I doubt it. It takes a certain kind of people to be willing to work for pennies on the dollar for export of those items to other countries, people in China and India and Africa are willing to do that, are you willing to as well? Work 10-12 hours in a factory, sweating, working hard, all for those items to be exported and make very small income from that???

Trump was not suppose to win this election, he printed 3 trillion dollars in 2020 and caused inflation, he had a crazy failed peace deal with Kim Jung Un that was a massive failure, Trump is the FIRST President since Bill Clinton to ban guns, but people have short memory, after getting shot at he will probably come after gun owners now pretty hard in the coming years, Trump failed to punish China which easily found loop holes like TEMU sending packages tariff free with air cargo that Trump tariffs forgot was an option, oops. And the US trade deficit to China has never been larger too. And if Trump tries to fight with China, they will cut off trade = inflation so massive, the shortages will be so catastrophic in the USA that we will probably have civil war. Imagine every store has nothing for sale, and what is on stock costs 100x more then today, not going to end well. China holds all the keys, Trump can act like we do, but he's just living still in TV world, like the actor he plays up that he is. Trump is a TV actor, who is playing a President. Good luck.

In the USA everyone over age 65 is covered by universal health care and the Government funds their insurance called Medicare. Maybe one day in the future as US population rises and density increases maybe in 50-100 years they could extend to all the population, I can see that happen, but today it is only for people over 65. However the medical facilities will always be private. The real issue is that in the USA it is like 50 countries in one and each state has a different economy for example an emergency room visit in California is worth $3000 but in Maine it is $900 so if you unify in to 1 system you have a mess to deal with and balance the costs so it just would not work, you end up creating 50 NHS systems in 1 country. Now that would be a disaster imagine 50 NHS systems? No that's not going to work. Also keep in mind that unlike other large countries like Russia, Australia, Canada, Brazil in the USA people can live almost anywhere, you have some 100,000 towns and cities there is no way a top down Government can manage such a large system so it would lead to 50 independent systems which is really incredible overhead costs so not going to work. I have a friend who lives in the city of 1,000 people called Tonasket WA have a look on the map, you can barely find it and yet they have a nice local hospital funded by the community and local population who use the medical services if the system was managed by the Government they would not have any care and would need to travel to a larger city.

Well the gravy train is not what you think. When you give Europe money they use it to buy weapons from the USA so we are basically stimulating our own USA economy. What are Dollars used for? To buy stuff made in the USA or invest the money. European countries are not wanting Dollars to load up on Tesla stocks, they could care less about that. What they do want are GOODS. Weapons, airplanes, software, etc, they want to buy stuff from us. So by giving them money we are injecting it BACK in to the US economy in to companies that make these goods and so we grow our own economy from this money.
The thing is that when you make a TANK or any weapon or airplane it is basically waisted money, that airplane or tank will sit in storage or go to battlefield but it will only lose money for you. But the country that makes the Tank or Airplane they make $$$ so we are the winners here. We are the ones making bank on tanks and airplanes and stuff that will sit in warehouses or used in action in Europe, our overall gain and their waste. So giving money for free, is just being nice, just saying the USA is growing fast, they are not, so here is a little bit to be nice. It's fair.

Religion is not about faith only but about community just as much if not even more so, Christianity, Judaism, Hinduism, Buddhism and so on provide a community to be part of and a society to support one another in good times and bad times. I personally have friends that were on the edge of depression and suicide and would probably be either dead or on the street if it was not for people giving them a hand but that is something religion does provide regardless if you even believe in it or not. I would dare say many Christens today are in it for the community of good people rather than faith. People today take drugs to try and fit in to a group of people, do crime to make money off posting what they do online but all of this is just the result of lacking of any direction in life, when you are looking at a dead end there are no rules, nothing is good or wrong, just selfish motivation and religion does offer a way out of this fucking mess. They reduce the cities to garbage full of crime ,drugs and tagging (graffiti is art, tagging is not) because they want to leave a name on the world but it is in reality just a dead end, religion offers a way out of this world and set a person up for ability to clean up and grow in to something, start a business, create something and actually for real make a name for themselves instead of just a tagging that will be erased in a few days and forgotten.

GDP per capita is not accurate representation, if a country has large wealth in resources (Middle east, Russia, Netherlands), in large companies that park wealth in the country (Ireland, UK) or very high level of inequality (South America countries, South Africa) You end up with GDP per capita that does not tell the true story of what life is really like. In the case of Italy, USA, France, China, South Korea, you get to see a very even spread of these economic forces so that no single force has enough to tip the balance. Germany has heavy weight of manufacturing, France has very high levels of Government spending as part of GDP like 60% or whatever, and USA has money from around the world going to Wallstreet but the rest of all 3 economies is very balanced so GDP per capita might be more honest the other countries.

OMG so many freaking bots in the chat. Youtube what is going on??? Anyway, house prices rising slowly over 10 years can eat up the 2% rate all by itself and prices naturally want to rise since we are heading to a slowdown or reverse of Globalization, the FED needs to come out and say LISTEN PEEPS, We are DE-GLOBALIZING , but we want full employment and rising home prices so yeah, listen up 4% is our new target and you know what? I am prefectly fine with that. 4% inflation does not mean your food goes up by 4% it means a combination of housing, fuel, goods from stores, food, services between them all share the 4% number which is fare with me, and look US employment reached record success at over 4% inflation the US economy wants inflation, give it some.

This is not accurate at all, China is going after European industry like cars, building cruise ships, airplanes/Airbus they want to take over as much of the industry made in Europe as possible so there is no option but for Europe to create with the USA a new world order where the world is split in 2 the Chinese camp and the western camp so both EU and USA are on the same side which is why the USA and EU resolved the long standing dispute between Boeing and Airbus because China is going after BOTH of them. You see the problem?
Saudi Arabia is not siding against the USA at all they are actively fighting a war with Iran too, however they have their own agenda to make themselves a regional power and in all reality that is not in conflict with the USA at all so it's not an issue however Saudi Arabia wants higher price for oil due to losses from COVID while the USA wants cheaper oil so a bit of a disagreement but not big deal.
US + UK your comment about Oligarch money makes no sense, they did however take control over all of the money Russia kept in western central banks and private banks but this is not Oligarch money this is money that was owned by the Russian central bank and treasury. If Russia wanted that money they should have asked for it before they started a war..... A bit stupid on the Russian side to forget to ask for their money back before starting a war.... Russia is never smart.
The USD main rival for world reserve is not China or Russia of course it is the EURO. However this is competition between friends some even call it the Eurodollar because they are both working together of course. Now, keep in mind that when your money becomes world reserve there is risk, another country that has a lot of your money can sell it and cause the value to fall without you being able to prevent it so this is why China does not want to be a world reserve and yes they are using it for some trade but it is small scale it is because China does not want to lose control over their own currency so that is not going to happen. The Chinese Communist Part will lose control over the currency if they become a world reserve currency and anyway, the faith in China from other countries is overall limited and China has far far far more enemies then friends, a few countries in Africa, Syria and maybe North Korea, some amazing friends.....

This comment section is 100% wrong but easy to make this mistake form outside the USA. A Fascist can never rise to power in the USA due to the massive verity of cultures and ideas. You need the votes of Hispanics, Blacks, Native Americans, the 4 million Russians and Ukrainians, the Chinese and Japanese and Koreans, the Jews and Muslims and Hindus, how the hell can a Fascist rise to power? Impossible. You even need the delegates of all 50 states and so if you risk taking power away from the states, centralizing power, well you are for sure never going to win.
The US has always had populist political figures rise to power due to the way Americans see politics almost as entrainment. The most iconic is JFK who was a the most populist leader in US history and the nation really was in pain over his assassination/. Many others on the left wing like Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson, Martin Luther King, even Barak Obama are all populist, also Bernie Sanders who touts Socialist ideas but is more about his own self image then anything to do with Socialism. On the right wing you have people like Arnold Schwarzenegger and Ron Paul, Jessie Ventura, Sarah Palin and of course many others and Donald Trump are all populists.
Back to the man, Donald Trump he supports the US constitution, US state intendance and not the left or the right in the USA would ever support centralizing power, this is incredibly unpopular. While Donald Trump is against Marijuana personally, when asked where he stands on this topic, what did he say? Trump: "In terms of marijuana and legalization, I think that should be a state issue" That is not how a Fascist talks or acts and very normal statement as every single US leader since George Washington. Under Trump's rule 2016-2020 10 US states legalized Marijuana, 10 out of 50. He was against it. You call that a Fascist? No Trump is a populist and ego maniac but he is not a Fascist.

@hollyjulia22 Well Trump in his last term banned guns, he first President to do so since Bill Clinton, not Obama and no Biden it was Trump he banned bumppppp sttttoooocckkss. And guess what? He was attacked twice so you better believe it sonny boi but he is coming for yours next. You don't know who Trump is, you don't know who Musk is, they are not who they say they are. Trump is a New York Real Estate Baron, you think he is conservative or libertarian? No, he is not and he won't be doing what you think he will. Will he defend 2A? No. Will he cut your taxes? No, he didn't last time, he did help his rich friends in Wall Street steal more of your cash but that's about it. You have no idea who Trump is. I say this as a life long Conservative, you don't know who Trump is but I do. When he devalues your wealth, your assets, your work is gone, when we have war with China, when the price of a Fridge is $25,000, and you own nothing, then you might start to realize who Trump really is. He is here to take your freedom form you by making you poor. When Americans are poor and they will be, they will be willing to get back in to the factory to work for inflated currancy in pennies. When he confiscates your gold and bitcoin then what? When he devalues your assets then what? You have no clue who Trump is.

Very important to understand that Socialism is a platform rather than one clear ideology. For example Adolf Hitler saw himself and his party as Socialists as Nationalist-Socialists or in today's wording as Socialism with German racial Characteristics, and so instead of order of society by economic-social standing as workers, farmers, land owners and so on, Hitler instead saw Socialist order by race, pure white Aryans as the top of society and different cultures or mixes of race below them until the bottom as people who do not have a home country or homeland which at the time were the Jewish people who of course did establish a country not long after the end of WW2 which just goes to show had stupid Socialism is. Is Socialism with Chinese characteristics any different? No. It is still using the same old structure of Socialism with China's own view of order of society by connections, power and influence which is why when the Chinese Communist Party see someone become popular in China and famous that is not inside the Socialist ranks they take forceful action because they are playing outside of the game, famous people who are now in prison or dead or rotting away in Qincheng or Tilanqiao Prisons people like Jack Ma, Edison Chen, Kris Wu, Gao Xiaosong and so so so many other good and talented and gifted people just because they became famous and gained influence which is in competition with the Chinese Socialist order. This goes to show how stupid and old and bad Socialism is, it is an old broken system from an old world and China is stuck to it until it can break free.

@joshuabeck4915 The Nazi's were able to gain base power in Germany becasue they held up a flag and sang patriotic songs and relied up the people of Germany around nationalist goals that was hard to oppose - the same like today immigration, economy, world order, perceived fake worldly injustices against the nation. You see all of the same messages out of JD Vance and Musk and Trump - the same message as Hitler had. Different time period but same message. Cost of living, price of eggs, same freaking thing but just like Hitler they have no answers as they want to use power to dominate the world = tariffs, inflation, hyperinflation, just the usual games. They also on purpose weaken the economy together at the same time Trump, JD, Musk and the rest of them, so they can crash the stock market and their wealthy backers Oligarchs get to buy up assets for cheap. And they know how long and when they turn positive again on the economy and repeat over and over. The US threat of Tariff is an asset grab by using it as a way to manipulate the stock market.

@arturovillaluz2053 Yes but you can make a balance. I am not saying you replace everything with local made goods that would degrade quality of life night an day. But you can and must create a balance. Keep in mind when you import too much like 2008-2020 you create low inflation which forces the central bank FED to lower interest rates and create easy money = rise in assets and bubbles form housing values balloon this is unnatural So the cost rises while imports replace local manufacturing, leading to millions of people who can only do manual labor, low skilled people are forced to take low income service jobs or not work at all, this creates wealth and income inequality.
The solution until today is WELFARE, but this is not honorable and is not sufficient.
In addition, lets not forget there is a risk that China goes on an adventure capturing islands, nations, ocean access all over Asia and in that case we will lose trade regardless so why let that be such a big shock, leading to massive inflation and shortages when you can balance out imports and local production today, in advance, and improve low skilled workers quality of life today and be a step ahead of what China does next.

Gold standard is nothing more than what is called price fixing, when the government mandates by order the value of something, in this case Gold. You really do not want a gold standard to return because it means something serious is going on like WW3 , but also because if you currently own any gold then after a new gold standard is ordered, the value of your gold will be fixed meaning it will not longer rise or fall, and the fixed price might be much lower value then it currently is trading at. So if gold today is around $2000 an OZ after a switch to gold standard, what if the Govnemrent orders the new fixed price who knows what the value will be???? For reference, in 1973 when the Gold standard ended it was fixed at around $42 an OZ, yes you head me right, 42 bucks or so. Do you really want a gold standard today? Well if you like me, own gold the only answer for me is, HELL NO. If my gold went to $42 an OZ I will be fucked. So no thank you.

Trump wants to be a dictator thats what they all say, I will be a dictator for 1 day to fix everything and then day 2 coms and 3 and 5 and 100 and 1000 and 2000. Yeah Putin, Erdigan, Xi Jinping, Castro, Kim Jung Un, American is joining great company. And I say this as a Conservative who voted for Trump in 2016 but I sure as hell will be voting for Biden in 2024. Say no to a dictatorship in America. Trump is also no Conservative he will turn against us if he becomes dictator, he hates constatives and only using us as a tool as a stepping stool to get on to the next level. Don't be a foot stool for Trump to become a dictator. WAKE UP. He told the ATF to ban stuff he did NOTHING for 2A rights, he built a FAKE wall, he printed 2 trillion stimmy checks just like Biden did another 3. Trump is conservative as Biden is but at least Biden respects the systems of power Trump dose not. He asked Mike Pense to void the election, that's the end of America if that were to have happened. I dont care if the eleciton was faked, YOU DO NOT COWN YOURSELF DICTATOR IN MY COUNTRY. SAY NO TO DICTATOR TRUMP.

It takes very special leaders to pull back, let go, and bring the globalized economy to the front at a sacrifice of growth for peace but the USA has been playing that game for 70 years while Russia and China have left that order 15 years ago and only using the globalized system to their own benefit without giving up growth for the world's betterment. The Firewall of China, the ban on US Tech companies is 15 years old now, Google was banned in 2010 so 15 years ago, this is really the time when China began to abuse Globalization and only use it to manipulate world in their favor. This forces the USA to turn right, to fascism, nationalism, to find a leader like Trump that will oppose China's actions since 2010. It's a very very slipper slope, and we can't deny that China put the USA is such a position to begin with. If China had not banned American tech companies, and used Wolf warrior diplomacy the American people may have not turned against them in such an aggresive way. This is China's greatest strategic failure in it's modern history. Openly turning against the USA is going to lead to rise of extremism in America.

The Baby Boomers used the hippie and anti war movement as a way to break from their responsibilities, they gave up on working in factories and industry leading to the massive inflation spike of the 1970s-1980s (similar to Chinese youth today with Laying Flat movement) due to this lack of manpower the entire US system broke due to their activities. The Arab oil embargo in 1970s brought the calamity to hit a wall and US massive inflation spile crushed the system. This lead to outsourcing of industry while baby boomers ran to California to start their run at entertainment, Technology or NYC for Finance. Today the US economy main engine is the same, Tech and Finance but when you combine these 2 you only get around 14% of the working population and so now you also see why middle class is so distorted in America is that the middle class engine is a small piece of the population that generates the demand and wealth that the rest need to feed off, construction, renovation, government, professional servers, logistics, retail, food, are all just trickle down from Tech and Finance workers. The middle class bracket moved way high up today you need like 130,000 a year to really be middle class and both working parents so over 200,000 a year in a place like California or DC or NY or WA or OR or UT or CO or NJ, MA or NC or FL, however most people who think they are middle class ARE NOT. If you don't work in Tech or Finance you are not middle class you are living off of their trickle down impact. So how do we fix this? We cut off trade with China, we raise the price of goods leading to manufacturing and industry boom here in the US away from China. We turn the table upside down, we now have high inflation, high interest rates and home values crash. The table turns over. The wealth goes to manufacturing and industry while Tech and Finance consolidate and solidify and investment money pours in to mining, logistics, infrastructure, back to the 1960s and going backwards from there, up the mountain we go.

@jamesbosworth4191 I have full respect for Unions but their outcome is unquestionable. Unions lead to much higher wages, terms and condition for workers but they lead to shrinking number of workers, as companies wage costs go up they run to offshore and automate as much as possible so Union lead to much better conditions but to fewer and fewer workers as a result. What is my proof? Look at the offshoring of American industry from 1970 to 2024, which has declined by head count dramatically.
Right now, in 2024 you have millions of Americans sitting on their hands not working, this data is called Workforce Participation, the USA is not one of, but THE lowest in the Developed world at 62% of American Men of working age group actually working every day, that is a sad sad number. Even the UK which lost more industry than the USA, they were an Empire not that long ago with exclusive export controls inside their Empire, they also lost industry but today in 2024 over 75% of British Men are working every day, and Germany where Unions and companies work very closely together they manage to have around 80% of working age Men actually working every day, that is 18% higher than the USA. 62% vs 80%, that is disgraceful!!! Why have we abandoned industry, skill work opportunities for millions of Americans? Unions are NOT the only reason of course but they are the LARGEST reason.
Today many Unions understand this, for example the Boeing company is really not doing well and their Unions are trying to help, probably not enough and are damaging the company pretty bad as usual but they do take the lower ground, and accept to some extent they need to give in more for the company to survive.

What you describe is just arbitrary explanations for natural formation of humanity. People choose to live their life out of free will (if they are permitted to) and this is the natural and wild choices we all make. You can try and explain it any way you like but it is arbitrary. At the end of the day the power of the state needs to be shared in a fair way so that the people can always at the very least hold the leaders accountable to their actions. Can the people of Russia hold Putin accountable for his actions? No. Could the people of the Soviet Union hold Stalin accountable for his actions? No. So you see the problem here? Once a group of people take power over the state, call it Socialism, Communisim, Fascism, the name means nothing it is arbitrary, they will never relinquish power without spilling blood. If you give people power without accountability they will never let it go. The problem is that Socialist programs like health care, free education, funds for illness, old age, these are all very attractive and even noble ideas to better life and society, free money, however every piece of social program makes the people more and more dependent on the state, thus increasing the power held by the state and open the door to future tyrants and groups of interest to take power away from the people. Getting freedom is costly losing it is free.

I think Ray is wrong I personally think that China is preparing for total war and as such a war time economy. Unlike the world that is business as usual, China is making moves that to me appear to follow the footsteps of pre world war 2. Have a look at what Germany did prior to WW2, sure many changes do not apply to today for obvious reasons but a few key pieces do fall in to place. #1 China like Germany is dependent on fuel and raw material imports so the natural approach which Germany did was to reduce civilian/non war time manufacturing to free up domestic resources to be able to operate during war and remove dependencies of foreign trade which would be cut off. China uses the excuse of going green as a reason for reducing it's manufacturing which is also needed for a war time economy #2 China would need to prepare it's economy and population to the shock of a war time economy, for example, reduced quality of life and living standards and expectations that are common today in China and they are calling this as "Fraud" or "waste" they have gone after personalities, CEOs and even gone after CCP party members that live a life of luxury, while this might just seems like returning to socialist ideals it is also needed change in preparations for war time economy. #3 Consolidating power, China would need to have a tight grip over it's economy and population in order to operate successfully in a war time economy especially if the population does not want to go to war, Chinese people do not know war and so they might not understand why they have to sacrifice everything they worked so hard for and as such, stability within China could be intense and that is why China may have been working so hard to place controls over the population in recent years, for the transition to a war time economy. These are just a few examples that come to my mind but I have no idea if this is the real intentions are just the way things look on the surface.

@MatjesHunts Three Mile Island like Fukushima had a proper containment vessel and you can see the much better result than Chernobyl but even they are form the 1960s so very old design and modern designs are much improved. Today there are right now under construction some 60 new nuclear faculties from China like 30!!! Egypt, USA, UK, Korea, Turkey, Bangladesh, Iran, India, Slovakia, Russia, Argentina, Brazil but Germany???? No, fuck it, we don't want cheap energy. We want coal baby.

His comments regarding near shoring or re/de-globalization, is really where the FED usually falls behind, sure, there is no clear cut massive trade war going on at all fronts.. however, businesses always end up making moves a step ahead and they are, Apple /Foxconn relocating factories, many clothing and shoe makers are already moved or in the process due to rising wages in China and other reasons, the list of companies on the move is really large, tool makers heading to Mexico and so on, as such there will be a price to pay and that will be with higher long term inflation. However, we will reach a point in time when the only option is to smack the US economy on the head over and over and over to fight inflation leading to heavy depreciations on assets and employment troubles, at some point the FED will realize it needs to start moving it's inflation target to accommodate the impacts of near shoring or re/de-globalization .

Not just Canada but the USA will get hit big time - Almost all potatoes, onions, corn, huge amount of fruit and veg is grown in Idaho, Oregon, Montana, Washington and it all depends on Canada for natural gas to produce fertilizer so expect HUUUGE price hikes and shortages. If farmers can't get fertilizer the fields go dead. I don't think people realize the impact that is coming. Prepare for major Food price hikes across the USA and Canada, fast food, restaurants, everything, and price hikes on fuel, diesel that will hike all transport prices. And if inflation explodes so will interest rates.

The thing about an economy is that you might as well use it, if people want to buy your debt, SELL IT, take on debt. The real problem is making the people of your country dependent on well fare that is unproductive, you need to increase productivity so if you are going to take on debt and you should in the UK, you MUST spend it on INDUSTRY, jobs for people with low skills or NO skills. The UK does need jobs and opportunity maybe in the electronics industry. The USA is funding for you chipsets, the most expensive part of the puzzle, take it by the horn, and make something with it in the UK. Make laptops, make smart phones, make fridges, invest in that.

Gun ownership leads to a culture, where vis-a-via joining up to defend your country becomes something a person WANTS to do rather than something a person is FORCED to do, being called up for service while being fearful or scared is a bad position and will likely see civilians run away not just from the war, but from also being asked or forced to join their own countries army. Ukraine has always been under the shadow of Russia so a bit different but other European countries I think would have much lower willingness of the population to stand up when called for, lack of motivation, fear of guns, lack of knowledge of weapons, this is a big issue in Europe.
I have also made the argument that the risk of gun incidents in society from gun ownership, with all the difficult acceptance of that, is well worth the resolve of both a much larger pool of civilians willing to fight thanks to owning guns and being familiar if not turning it in to a major hobby, and the much larger willingness to stand up for their own country. This becomes even more problematic in Europe if as members of NATO people are called up to defend a country that is not their own. Gun ownership will help change that.

You are wrong, so very wrong! Worldly Jew means Orthodox Jew, as in the Jews mostly living in Poland and Eastern Europe who dedicated their lives to the religion, they don't care about money because their world does not involve money. Marx was excluding them by using the phrase "Worldly Jew" today most of the Orthodox Jews in Israel do not go to work so when Marx says he is not talking about Wordily Jews he means that he is not talking about what today are Orthodox Jews. Simple. The Jews of London where Marx was living, the businessmen Jews, the wealthy and successful Jews in banking, lawyers, store owners, business owners, the "EVERY DAY" or Secular Jew that is what Marx is talking about, 70% of Jews in Europe were secular Jews. Marx lead to the death of millions of Jews in the hands of Adolf Hitler. Your denying of the great evil in the words of Karl Marx is following a long linage of people who are in denial about Karl Marx and his own hand in the holocaust. This denial has to end.

@sethtwc That was only due to Hitler being in competition with communist, Marxist and Socialist elements in Germany. Hitler was not the only show in town, he did not even have the largest crowds, not at first, it was a progression. Hitler himself said that he is a Socialist and that his world view for the Aryan German people was a Socialist utopia where the Aryan German people did not have to work hard, had a fare share of society, Hitler simply did not get the chance to see his Socialist plans come to reality. If Hitler had won WW2 he would have progressed onwards to his Socialist utopia >
Historian Modris Eksteins argued:
Contrary to many interpretations of Nazism, which tend to view it as a reactionary movement, as, in the words of Thomas Mann, an "explosion of antiquarianism", intent on turning Germany into a pastoral folk community of thatched cottages and happy peasants, the general thrust of the movement, despite archaisms, was futuristic. Nazism was a headlong plunge into the future, towards a "brave new world." Of course it used to advantage residual conservative and utopian longings, paid respect to these romantic visions, and picked its ideological trappings from the German past. but its goals were, by its own lights, distinctly progressive. It was not a double-faced Janus whose aspects were equally attentive to the past and the future, nor was it a modern Proteus, the god of metamorphosis, who duplicates pre-existing forms. The intention of the movement was to create a new type of human being from whom would spring a new morality, a new social system, and eventually a new international order. That was, in fact, the intention of all the fascist movements. After a visit to Italy and a meeting with Mussolini, Oswald Mosley wrote that fascism "has produced not only a new system of government, but also a new type of man, who differs from politicians of the old world as men from another planet." Hitler talked in these terms endlessly. National Socialism was more than a political movement, he said; it was more than a faith; it was a desire to create mankind anew.[330]

Well the Human idea of G*d is to keep mankind in check, it's not about G*d but about Humans to give them a social and ideological structure to be good people, to be part of a community, to work together, as someone is always watching, someone is above them that they cannot control over. This is a perfectly sensible use of mental gymnastics for the better good of a community and people and mankind which is why I have no issues with the Christianity and Juudaism but when you get in to the realm of cultists that create evil like Hitler and Stalin and Mao we have a problem, the philosophical cultists remove the self control, they remove G*d and so anything becomes fair game, murder of million for no reason, war, famine, devastation is meaningless to them just like how Germans saw the Nazi logo as an expression to do evil doings so do Russian's today with the "Z" logo as a mental approval to do bad things. It is only by sheer audacity of Ukrainian people who are fighting back and hard that Russian army and just random Russian people are not reping, stealing and killing the Ukrainian people out of existence as that is their desire and the "Z" logo is their stamp of approval.

I blame Russia for this, Russian paid comments are all over Social Media right now, it is a mixture of Russian citizens paid money to comment and Americans paid to comment by Russian agents. Their message is on purpose to create hate and anger between Americans using politics and Trump, to make Americans fear and hate their own Government, don't fall for this BS. Understand that no matter politics we are all Americans, the same people, right, left, it is all minor details we all want to thrive and prosper as people and as a nation, People, do not fall for inciting Russian propaganda and paid comments. Use logic and common sense and understand that there is HEAVY manipulation by Russia on Social Media, don't fall for it. The FBI is not going after Trump, so take it easy, that is a Russian invention to create hate and fear, don't fall for it.

The problem is that MAGA people, who blindingly buy up Russian Propaganda siding against the Free people of Ukraine today in 2024 are what Orwell warned about. They are falling for propaganda by people like Trump. Keep in mind I am a true Conservative myself I stand with 2A gun rights unlike Trump that banned weapons while he was president. Mind you, it is anti-Ukraine sentiment, pro Russian propaganda is what Orwell warned about, if Putin did not have the USA and western Europe in his way, he would be what Orwell envisioned, a totalitarian, blind, sheep society that do as they are told to do, China and Russia tyrants want nothing but a blind, death and dumb society of yes men,

The trade war will benefit other countries like India, Africa, South America, Mexico, Europe, anyone who can produce goods instead of China will win. The USA is the world's customer, they are the buyer, they have the consumption power, and they will choose who wins and who loses. China has forgotten the customer is always right and might suffer on historic levels becasue it forgot this. The only reason the USA has not punished China until today is because the USA wants to keep world peace, but the gloves will come off, the mask will come down and the USA will expose the reality of the world order and that is the customer is ALWASY right and the world's customer is the USA.

For the last 40 years the western countries were for the most part happy to part ways with lower end industry in exchange for having lower costs for the upper tier manufacturing like Boeing and Airbus, higher standards of living and most of all low inflation regardless of economic situation making it an easy job for central banks in the west. However, this is now coming apart, the costs are rising, inflation is returning and now China is going after upper tier manufacturing. Europe was fine with losing thousands of companies making consumer goods but to lose Airbus? tech industry? Cruise ships building? Tool making? Automotive industry? Now we have a problem. China is more than happy to see Apple and Samsung rush out of China as it no longer cares about lower end manufacturing they want to big players now. They want technology, chip making, ship building, Airplane manufacturing there is no doubt that China feels that they are entitled to move upmarket and making the life of their own citizens better and I can see their side of the story. It's not much different then what happened during the rise of other nations and their impact on a globalized world. However we will now face a glut of higher end industry and with that a missive risk to anyone that cannot compete with China. So, what do we do now? Well we have only 2 options, let China compete with the west's lucrative industry directly or split the world in to a new cold war. On the surface the USA is not interested in a new cold war as said by Joe Biden himself yet he also said that it was time for a new world order. The problem is, so far it sounds like we want it both ways and that is just not going to work. We can start off by subsidizing industry, give money out to Boeing and other big players, ban the import of Chinese made cars but eventually we poke each other enough and that cold war idea is back on the table however it may be too late to win by that point. If you want a new world order the time for that is now or we simply have to brace for the rise of China to it's next phase of development from developing to fully developed country.

@chrisparnham Every single person on this comment thread has no idea what the world is like, fool!!! The USA has an aging population, the USA like all developed countries has inflated over the last 200 years, the USA population is used to high quality of life and cheap goods, to turn back the clock to self sustainable USA is not possible!!! IF THE USA Closes the doors to trade = Hyperinflation, dramatic, absolutely dramatic shortage of goods, empty shelves, deep economic slowdown, Services economy collapse, cost of goods will explode so that Americans CANNOT buy new goods, no more cars, no more appliances for the house, the USA will become like CUBA, everyone has to repair what they own for 20 years and cannot buy new items, only keep fixing old ones and keep them working. This is a total dramatic collapse of quality of life, wealth, buying power, and will make Americans be willing to work for very little money to survive. YES this is how you make Americans get to work in industry and factories again, by MAKING AMERICANS POOR. This is how it is done and that is the outcome, destruction of wealth, loss of buying power of the people, hyperinflation = force Americans to work in industry for little money = self sustainable USA but with dramatic pain. The problem??? The USA is HIGHLY diverse population and so the outcome of this pain will be dramatic unrest, deep and serious unrest and so the USA would be paralyzed by violence. The only way to divert the problem makers will be to conduct war on other countries. Since the USA will suffer hyperinflation it could not export ANYTHING to the world so to create demand it would have to go to war = war creates demand for a self sustained, suffering economy. Trump = Hyperinflation, making Americans desperately poor = collapse of demand = rise of industry powered by now cheap manpower due to hyperinflation = lack of demand = war. The USA will become addicted to war.

This video is missing the critical point, companies with high paying jobs bring with them an army of money makers for a city, restaurants, bars, day care, school attendance, increase in property values, many services like gardening companies, house cleaning, vehicle sales, grocery stores, it is endless benefit of attracting high paying jobs so of course it is a terrible idea to scare away employers and taxing them is not the way to make money for the city. You want to attacker employers who bring with them an eco system of tax payers.

The problem is that Trump promised opposing sides thats how he won, you can't place tariffs which creates massive inflation and ALSO promise lower prices and to lower cost of living and price of fuel and food, these 2 policies, low inflation and Tariffs are total opposites. They fight each other and Trump promised both. If you can buy 5 tools made in China for the price of 1 tool made in the USA the economy will grow much faster and better with buying Chinese tools, why? Becasue more tools = more productivity, you can do more stuff with your tools, more repairs so the economy actually grows more. The important message to remember, Productivity is EVERYTHING in the economy, it is 100% how you grow, not making tools in the USA but being able to buy the most tools for your money. Yes there is a point to talk about quality but tools are not jewelry they are not suppose to look pretty, they just need to work and last. Productivity is everything.

@incumbentvinyl9291 Sorry I should have listed the timelines, my comment was about the 1890s to 1920 this is when the British administration implemented their policy to develop the area, they imported both British and other Europeans to work the administration, and civil force, but majority workforce were black Africans from the 2 tribes the Shona and Ndebele to work the land and as cheap workforce. The British used a class system not totally racist but by nature it was the native black people with no education or previous skills who were the lowest class to work the land, mines, build the cities and the white Europeans or British were for the civil force like engineers and logistics, to be the office workers to manage the operations and military, eventually many other migrated to settle the area and build farms and industry however the class system remained and this is not a healthy system for success in the future, It was a first step to develop the area but lead to the clash of classes, race and culture. The British Empire could have simply forbidden white Europeans or British from settling and provided only a limited time to live in Africa or alternatively to only use white to settle and not re-locate and import workers from the Ndebele and Shona. The British wanted everything and in the end got nothing.

If you ever visit Eastern Washington state you will see armies of immigrants, sky high pliers of ladders, climbing up on ladders and picking your fruit. It is not a secret that most are illegal immigrants/undocumented workers - but that is how food cost remains sensible and farmers can afford to pull the fruit down. Average Joe American is NOT going to be climbing up a ladder and picking fruit as a carrier life choice - farmers find no one else even legal immigrants who just arrived are going for hospitality, cleaning, food making, but picking fruit??? Crickets. So, at minimum expect major price hikes on food, but realistically expect shortages, empty shelves. Farmers are just normal people, who are taking risk even running a business and many will bail out, shut down, close up, as the risk will not be worth it to invest their money or risk loans from banks. No, they will close up and retire. Expect serious shortages without illegals.

Hyper inflation is not natural it is a policy done on purpose by the Government. In Germany after WW1 the government wanted to rebuild the country and military faster to prepare for a future war and also was forced to buy large quantity of gold to pay back the allies for war damages, so Germany on purpose created hyperinflation. No one really know 100% why, it may have been to cheat paying back the Allies, it may have been to get cheaper manpower, to make German people poor so they are all forced to get out and work as old money becomes worthless they have saved. And it could also be the classic reason of being forced to pay for more and more Government workers, this policy of ever increasing size of Government workforce is the policy that lead to hyperinflation in Argentina, Venezuela, Zimbabwe so it is the real modern take on hyperinflation. The USA is raising it's government manpower numbers in recent years since COVID so maybe you do see some risk here, BUT the US Government spending is only 36% of the US GDP which is really low, In France it is 60% in Germany 50% and China 33%, So in this respect the USA is OK, almost the level of China which is pretty amazing. This means the USA on a scale of age of a country is on the same level as China. SOme people see the USA as country that is getting older and China still young and has a long way to go, but in terms of Government spending as % of GDP, China and the USA are about the same. Amazing really.

Every country in the world has a central bank like the FED so it's not like we are anything special and the job the FED is doing is the same in every country. It's not about good or bad, it's just a job someone has to do. They set the interest rates and can add or remove money from the system to control either too much inflation or too little inflation and their goal is to keep the economy balanced and stable and growing slowly and carefully, but COVID has forced them to take all kinds of actions and now we have to get that out of the system. Paying more for stuff, higher taxes, higher lending rate, it all helps remove cash out of the system so the smart move is to listen to what the FED is saying and that is telling us to stop spending until inflation goes away. The FED is like a firefights putting out a fire, an economic fire, all they want us to do is wait, just hold on until the fire is put out. Once the fire is out, inflation is dead, then we are back to normal again. Inflation has come down from 9% to 5% so we are not far from half the way back to normal but we still have half way to go so its going to take some time....

Sorry but this is absolute nonsense. Let me explain something here, for a World War to occur you need to have a level of social hate that is beyond repair. The people of Germany, Poland, Russia, France, Brittan, Japan, China in WW2 was at total and utter boiling point. WW2 was unavoidable if it was not Hitler invading east then it would have been Russia invading west. Japan and China was unavoidable either. Today in 2024 we do not have social haltered even a fraction as we did before WW2, it will take global massive changes to reach that point, it will take a global financial crash, winners and losers, desperation, famine, poverty, for decades to reach the levels as the world had before WW2. Not only are we not there yet we are decades if not more away form that if ever. The people of China are living well because Americans are buying their goods. People of Russia are living well becasue India and China are buying their oil and gas, to turn in to goods for the West. Everyone depends on everyone else and so we are far away from WW2 situation. Today no matter what we all depends on the other. Wake me up, when China become self-sustaining or when the USA becomes self sustaining on consumer goods. Exactly you see??? Not anytime soon,

Listen up, we spent 5,000 BILLION on COVID stimmy checks, what is 95 billion not even 2% my friend not even 2%. It is peanuts and most of the money goes to buying USA made weapons which means jobs, industry growth, demand for chemicals, steel, logistics, this all goes back to Americans. I would give them more, give them 200 billion = more jobs more industry HLLE YEAH I am conservative I support 2A, I stand for small government but giving money that goes right back in to our economy is nothing but great way better than the stimmy checks.

@addamriley5452 The is one of two pretty cool effects, during the day objects that are man made in orbit get a much higher sun beam then we get here on Earth so that can cause them to shine in all kinds of odd shapes, spheres, orbs, cylinders and with the composition of our atmosphere and humidity in the sky the objects can shimmy, shake, dance, move, pulse and so on. The second effect is at night time stars (distant suns) can also appear as if they are changing colors, like green, red, purples and in the right humidity or time of year they can appear to pulse, move, dance around the skies but again there is a very good explanation. I have seen these with my own eyes as well but with the help of some nice apps on your phone you can see what is in the sky above you, either stars during the night or man made objects in space during the day and find the source.

@shanecrocker3629 EVERY SINGLE TAX = you pay more. Corporate tax, tax on the wealthy, Tariffs on imports, EVERY TAX = YOU PAY MORE!!!!!!!!!!! When you walk in to Home Depot, Wal-Mart, Harbor Freight Tools, you buy something made in Asia and you pay 20% or 50% more, that is NOT helping American jobs. Can you make the Tools at Harbor Freight in the USA if the price geos up 50%??? No of course not. Just look at Snap On tools, you will have to pay like 300% Tariffs to do that but then you will only be able to afford very very very very very very few tools. SO is that worth it???? A few Americans more working in tool factory and you can only afford a few tools becasue the price is way way higher? THINK ABOUT IT. You are not doing Americans a favor. You are forcing cost of tools to go UP, you are stopping average joe living at home from buying tools so now they have to hunt for used stuff or not fix the thing that is broken they need tools for. So quality of life goes DOWN for no reason. And people that do need the tools for Work like car repair guys, they have less tools, have to pay more for tools, so become LESS PRODUCTIVE.
The FED and Powell always bring up the magic work PRODUCTIVITY becasue that is how you get GDP to go UP! AND prices to come down. By importing cheap tools from China, the guys repairing cars for a living can charge you LESS MONEY to fix your car. You want cheaper car repair costs??? You want to be able to buy lots of tools at Harbor Freight so you can do your own repairs? Then Don't put Tariffs on China for no reason.
If you want to Tariff something specific like imported STEEL or Cars, STUFF that we in the USA DO Make here. 100% go do it. We should have 100000% tariffs on imported cars so that even if China wants to make cars, no problem, just make the cars here. But electronics? Clothing? Tools? Small gadgets? No American will make that stuff for anywhere close to what China is able to make it for, so that just lowers the quality of life for ALL Americans for no reason!!!!!

@DJ-so9cg The Russian people do not have a say, or power over the decisions of the Russian Government and because of this the direction of Russia in to the future is all set, it cannot be altered or changed, becasue the People of Russia have no say, they cannot set the direction of the country. The future of Russia is not controlled by the Russian people, this is the problem and why Russia is in a bad direction. If the people of Russia were able to take back control of their country from the Government of Russia everything would change, the future of Russia would be open and not yet written, it would be free for the Russian people to choose a new direction, any way they want, but as long as Russia is run by the same old Government system nothing will change which makes predicting the future very easy, becasue Russia's future , for now, is what the current leaders have done in the past, same thing so very predictable which is very bad direction.

Wagoneer and Cherokee are very different, the Wagoneer is using the RAM frame so its a proper body on frame truck, Cherokee is just a crossover unibody. They might no be explaining the difference to customer properly? Wagoneer is like a Tahoe, Suburban, Yukon, Escalade, Navigator, Expedition. Cherokee is a unibody like an Acadia, Explorer, BMW X7, Mercedes GLS, Honda Pilot, Toyota Highlands, and all the millions of other UNIBODY Crossovers.. There is a reason why Wagoneer costs more, its a truck it has a lot more frame and metal work.

@mz3004691 You are confusing things. #1 Somalia is due to recent terrorist attacks and support of local authority and the UN, there are 0 Americans on the ground. #2 Russia was involved in just as many wars, they were involved in North Korea, Magnolia, most of the Turkic countries, Libya, Syria, Afghanistan, many countries in Africa including recently Mali, Belarus, and now Ukraine. In fact Russia was involved in more than the USA. Yes, the USA had a number of large involvements but they all resulted in success. Iraq is a success, just ask the Kurds, Afghanistan was successful for 20 years until the locals lost. Korea was successful. Vietnam was not just the USA, China invaded just a few year after the USA left and took 30,000 dead in just a few weeks of combat, the USA took on 60,000 losses but that was after 20 years. China never went to war again, that just shows had badly they were impacted. Wars are needed in order for the USA to maintain its global status it is just how the world order works. If it's not the USA then it's China or Russia, so pick an option.

Listen buddy, don't try to brainwash your co workers that is stupid move. Everything in this video is wrong. The Gold Standard that they so look up to was FRACTIONAL TOO. The entire video is debunked because the amazing, out of the world gold standard was ALSO fractional. The USA never had 1-1 gold in the vault to dollars it printed that is a fantasy of conspiracy idiots. In reality EVERY monetary system that has ever existed has been fractional. The Romans simply used different metals in their coins AKA fractions of value. Everything is Fractional but here we are 2000 years later and we are all doing just fine.
Even Germany after WW1 ON PURPOSE, totally 100% on purpose created hyperinflation to lower the cost of labor so they could re-arm, re-build and prepare for another world war + avoid paying back the debts they owed which they still owe today funny enough. BUT here is the kicker, after 2 FAILED world wars, and hyperinflation in the middle, guess what? Germany is still today in 2024 the #3 largest economy in the world so who cares. Hyperinflation means nothing in the long run, water under the bridge. Life always moves on don't waste you brain worrying about nothing.
And about debts, well they all end, they all expire, every date IN THE WORLD has a date by which you pay back all that you owe and you get to own the asset. Every single Treasury Bond that the US Government sells has an expire date. You can buy 6 months debt, 1 year, 2 year 10 year whatever it expires. So why the panic? Why the fear? it is so overblown.

@kamsunleong6648 Apple is different becasue it needs a lot of people with low wages so unless it can be fully automated and maybe with AI and robots that can be done in the future, it is very very possible that China will advance to using AI and Robots to manufacture goods and that will allow China to become an Advanced Economy and maintain low cost industry, that will be a first time in history as the USA, Europe, Japan, Korea, Hong Kong, have all lost their low cost manufacturing as they became Advanced Economies. China is the next country to lose low cost industry while wages of Chinese rise to the same level as Europe/USA. And so China will lose the low wage manufacturing probably to India and Vietnam, but if China is able to use AI and robotics to prevent that, then it would change the world. The USA and Europe could also then manufacture cheap goods inside their country as well, also breaking the history of economic order going back over 2000 years.

People never want to be under foreign occupation that always leads to disaster for everyone. That is why we in the USA always believed in Self Determination - the people get to decide freely what country they are part of in all corners of the world. Otherwise you are occupying other people by force which is a total failure. Every occupation in world history has failed, Soviet Union, Germany in WW1 and WW2, Japan, Mongol Empire, Roman Empire, French Empire, Russian Empire, Spanish Empire, they all FIAL they never ever are successful in the long run. So occupying Canada would lead to war that will never end and lead to hate of each other for generations if not forever, We tried it in the war of 1812 but at least had reason as Canada was under British rule but today Canada is a free country so trying to annex it would be total disaster for both sides, lead to actual war, resistance, massive massive protests and chaos in the US, just a huge mess, there is nothing to gain from that, not a bit of dust. You only lose from that.

NATO only has 4,000 people working for it, VERY SMALL, it is just an organization that helps armies in Europe work together to defend Europe, it is not some massive imaginary occupying force, Russian propaganda is spreading endless lies. Russia on purpose makes it sound like NATO is some army it is NOT an army it is just a coordination organization. It is American solders guarding Poland, and British and German forces guarding other countries, they all work together with the help of NATO to organize it. Here is the problem, IF Ukraine falls, then Russia is on the border of Romania and Hungary now we need to send 100,000 US solders to guard each of the countries, why not just pay and help Ukraine? Much smarter move.

Well I think the UK is doing better then the way people feel, even if wages have not kept up, housing cost issues there is probably a gap between sentiment and actual real financial standing of the people at least the middle class. You see the seme issues in Canada, US and Australia, the impact of inflation requires adjusting spending on a personal level and that can be hard in a consumer and services society.
The UK after a few years of higher rates, lower consumer spending, should have enough gap to bounce back in the coming years but it could be that much better if some actions were taken today.
Anyway, I just think the UK will bounce back as rates are lowered in the next few years to come but the UK has a large engine of growth that is held back on a number of fronts. Lack of industrial policy, over regulations, lack of high earning wages outside of a few cities. The company I work for has an office in UK, but of course it is in London, why does it always have to be in London? I hear the workers complain of the high cost of living, why not offer incentive to have companies re-locate their UK office to a lower cost city, allowing injection of higher wage workers and the services they consume to less wealthy cities. For example the company I work for has an office in the city of Reno Nevada which is not a wealthy city by any means but the workers that move to the city boost the local economy and in return get to enjoy a low cost of living while still making very good income levels, buying them more purchasing power and much lower cost of living.

Russia cannot end the war. Russia lost the demand from the west forever, it cannot and will not be restored becasue the west cannot trust Russia, EVEN if the west removes 100% of sanctions the people and companies in the west have total free will, and will likely never restore business with Russia at least not enough demand to offset the war time economy in Russia, so even removing 100% of sanctions is not likely going to replace war time demand for the Russian economy, You see the problem???? Russia cannot end the war, and it does, the outcome is unknown, a gamble.
Now if Putin takes a path he knows is safe that path is to continue the war. But if Putin is willing to take a risk or has no choice but to end the war, thinks he can save the Russian economy by the west removing 100% of all sanctions, this will likely not do much for Russia's economy, then Russia will suffer economic hardship after the war ends and how that plays out is totally unknown. Will Russian people turn against Putin? Will Russia be forced to head in to direct showdown with NATO? It's really a wild card, the safe bet for Putin is... more and more war. So really, everyone is stuck. Russia's safe path is more war, Russia's gamble is to end the war. For the west, the economies have re-arranged to not be dependent on Russia - so the west will have a VERY hard time providing Russia a source of economic demand to offset the war time demand to offer a way out for Russia even if the west is willing to do so.

@theredscourge Trump is a total fake. Trump FORCED the ATF to ban bumpps stocks so even on 2A Turmp is a total liar, he did NOTHING for gun rights, did he disband the ATF registry? No. Did he remove stuff from the ATF list? No, he added MORE STUFF. Trump is faker, he is a fake republican, he is a New York big city real estate developer mogul, is that a republican or conservative material? Of course not. He is totally FAKE. He banned guns, he also built a FAKE wall with mexico, it is the state of Texas that built a proper cement wall but Trump instead funded with his buddies to build a fake wall made out of metal pipes stuck in the ground which illegals easily cut down and squeeze though, it is a total joke of a wall. My guess is that the builders spent the least possible money to get it done and walked away dirty rich. Its all just a show, a joke for Trump. No real conservative would dare vote for Trump yet again, 2016, 2020, it's enough.

Lets check out some counter arguments, let me know what you think, if these are true? #1 America is missing millions of homes that did not get built after 2008 in cities all over the USA from Seattle to Atlanta, from LA to Salt Lake, from Tennessee and Florida. #2 Americans used COVID money to pay off loans with 42% of Americans now owning their home with no mortgage that is a multi decade high. I personally think the number is much higher as the data is form 2021 so it may be closer to 50% by now #3 Americans that have mortgages have locked in record historic low rates during COVID, I am locked in at 2.8%, am I going to move house???? HELL NO. #4 Some US cities are running out of land which drives up prices, Seattle, Los Angeles, even Las Vegas, some cities in Texas just look at Satellite maps. #6 Baby boomers are choosing to retire at home and not move to old age homes, baby boomers are very independent thinking and the ones I know would never even think of moving to an old age home so they are not, yet, rushing to sell. I am sure there are other reasons but just some I can think of.

BRICS is a joke, the entire system depends on western consumers. China and India which are competitors by the way, make goods for the west, and as such need resources from Russia, Saudis, South Africa, Brazil . However if you are telling me that BRICS is going to sideline the west, now China and India no longer have customers so they no longer need resources from Brazil, Saudi's, Russia and South Africa. The entire BRICS system depends on the west, it is a very funny tower of cards.

The issue is much deeper rooted, the people of NZ, the public of the country looks down on military role in society, they are fine operating some traditional army that operates as a token, for peace keeping and to fulfill some ceremonial role in structures of Government, but as a fully functional role of defending NZ and it's interests? That is seen as Neanderthal. Almost as disrespect to the public. Unless the people of NZ change their psychology, pay their tax, many find ways to reduce or avoid tax, and willing to let their children spend years in service of their country as national duty, then NZ military has no foundation. A military is a ghost without it's nation's people making that become reality. Military is nothing without the nation's consent, dedication and sacrifice financially, morally, and willing to let their children be part of it.

Not true, BRIC produce resources (Brazil, Russia, South Africa, and others) and sell it to countries that use the resources to make Products: China, Vietnam, India, and others, most of the products are sold to the west, so BRIC depends on the west buying goods.
If BRIC makes the Dollar weaker it means Americans buy less Products made in China, Vietnam, India and others and as a result these countries need to buy less resources made in Brazil, Russia, South Africa, and others. So by making the Dollar WEAKER, BRIC harm themselves. There is no way out of the Dollar system.
If BRIC stops using Dollars totally, 100% no more Dollars, the demand for goods in the USA made outside the country will collapse to 0% as the cost will be much higher. The USA has no problem to re-industrialize, it has the resources, manpower, land, water, no issue, but the world will lose the #1 buying power that funds most of the demand in the world = large collapse of production, mining, industry in every country. Chinese people are much more numerous than USA people 1.4 billion to 330 million but they buy much less items and much cheaper items. Chinese people consumption: 6.5 Trillion. USA People consumption: 17.5 Trillion.

With all due respect Kamal's solution of price fixing is NOT the solution - Nixon already did that with major failure of a policy - when farmers are FORCED to sell food at a loss or with little profit - they stop producing, the fields go dead, so prices might fall a little but the shelved go empty and shortages eventually force the Government to cave in, and prices EXPLODE UP. Never fix prices of anything - you distort the market prices = you destroy the supply of goods. No one is willing to work from the goodwill. It's the way the world is, people are selfish, workers, farmers, producers, manufacturers, small and big, if you force a fixed price = supply collapses.

@louv3347 Putin himself always says the opposite he said Russia would never invade Ukraine just a few days before the invasion when the world already knew it was going down, he always says the opposite. But really what Putin really loves is the media attention, look on google just every key word is Putin, Trump, Biden, Election, 2024, everything leads to this news item.... That is what Putin really wants , attention, and he got it, our media just feeds off of his hand. The best tactic for the west is to support Ukraine 100% and ignore the noise out of Putin's mouth just don't report on it.

He does not have to step down but he will make it harder to prevent Trump presidency. I am a Conservative and support state independence, rule of law, small government, less regulations and taxes, but I also Support Ukraine 10000% so for 2024, the firs time in my life I plan to voter for Democrats just for 1 reason, Ukraine. The country had a puppet leader operated by Russia against the will of the people of Ukraine, they overthrew the Russian puppet with the Orange Revolution and took their country back, just like what we in the USA did when we got rid of the British rule. It is our DUTY to help Ukraine, OUT DUTY and it is SHAMEFUL that Trump stands against Ukraine, fucking shameful. So I plan to vote Democrat to support Ukraine. I just wish they had someone stronger and younger than Biden but I will vote for him anyway.

Listen, MasterofLosers, Putin is a dictator who has stolen 25 years of profit of oil and gas that belong to the Russian people over 1 trillion stolen from the Russian people. Instead of building better cities, roads, schools, trains, modern quality of life, better health for Russian people, Putin stole the money for his friends to buy assets in the west and party around the world and dominate the Russian economy by force. And now Putin is using the stolen money from the Russian people to fight a pointless war. Every tank lost in battle is money that belongs to the Russian people, was stolen from them, and is now wasted. Soon or later you will realize you need to remove Putin from power and take back control of your country. That is the reality.

@audar9070 Any Russian could replace Yeltsin and run the country better it did not have to be a man like Vladimir who is dictator for 25 years. Also, Putin has no right to steal from Russian people Trillions from oil and gas profits, this should all be organized properly, to use the money to build schools, roads, hospital, new cities, not to waste on pointless war and give to Oligarch friends. The war is Slavic vs Slavic, blood on blood, this is not how you manage issues, there is a way to do it peacefully, there always is.

@ The problem is that Americans got used to easy life - working office work, retail, services, finance, tech, Government, and someone like Trump thinks that he can adjust this, that he can move money from Tech and Finance in to manufacturing and industry but will Americans who got used to easy life be willing to work hard for many hours in physical work for low pay? No of course not, they will simply find a way to retire early and stop working so you will have an industry with no workers and millions and millions of Americans who retire early in life by finding a way to live cheaply after only working a few years or odd jobs - that is like the economy of Argentina, it became advanced but then broke apart as it tried to maintain local industry and never recovered - You now have someone like Javier Milei who you think is going to fix Argentina but there is no way to fix it, you can cut down on spending and fix inflation but Argentina is broken in it's society and you cannot remove and replace the population so Javier Milei will make numbers look good on paper but then lapse back in to chaos in a few yeasr again. There is no way out. American have become used to easy life - where they can at least afford to buy most goods they want but that will come to an end as the Dollar value is erased and making goods in the USA is wildly expensive as people will refuse to work in those jobs. So it will be Argentina 2.0 Mark my words, check back this comment in 10 years and tell me I was right or wrong.

@FirstDagger No that is not true at all! Those are inanimate objects in the English language they are not female or male, they are gender neutral. The USA, UK, Australia, New Zealand are not male or female, they are neutral. There is no Motherland or Fatherland in these countries, they are not associated with a gender. Airplanes and Ships are not male or female in English for example the US Navy's newest aircraft carrier is the Gerald R. Ford so named after a male. Unrelated to language, there is a culture of when a male has affection of an object to refer to it as a she such as a car but it is not ALL cars, it is just that one car that has become personalized, this is not an English linguistics element but a cultural and personal one. The same for ships, airplanes, houses, tools, buildings, it can be anything, but this is not language.

This is not true at all, German economy is only weak becasue all manufacturing is weak China, Germany, Japan, and manufacturing sectors in all other countries, India, USA, Korea, Brazil, Turkey, all countries due to higher interest rates after COVID. Soon this will resolve as inflation is falling and German economy will grow again but the German Economy anyhow become #3 largest economy taking over Japan, you can't say world #3 strongest economy is weak that is total garbage

The UK has only 3 ways to raise capital, 1. taxation, if the economy and public will allow it but this takes at least a year to bring in new revenue, 2. Print money if inflation is low which it is not right now, but large quantity could lead to more inflation which will slow down the economy if central bank has to raise rates to tame inflation. 3. THE most common in the West, issuing new bonds/gilts, the problem here is that you raise the national debt which leads to higher interest rates for the economy going forward, and you need to make sure someone can buy it, if auctions begin to fail, this triggers the buyers of last resort and they are forced to buy the bonds - banks, pension funds and whoever else, the problem here is that they are forced to buy an asset that for now has low return around 4% or 5% and that can weaken the financial entity robbing it of higher returns elsewhere. Unless you can force entities outside the UK to buy but but that would require skilled diplomacy or an attractive offering.

Waltz is an interesting pick, he carries some baggage like how his National Guard service ended and one of his subordinates that has spoken out against him. However he seems to have a real fire burning when he talks and is very intellegent, fast thinking and says the right thing to punch hard. I think Waltz will be a problem for JD Vance in a debate and risks really crushing JD but there are a lot of personal attacks that JD Vance can use against Waltz.
Overall I think JD Vance is a very bad pick for Trump as it just further loses Regan Conservatives like me, if Trump had chosen someone more traditional who supports Ukraine to balance out with Trump, I would consider voting but Trump just wants a YES MAN so well, I am still 100% voting against Trump. Waltz is the opposite of my ideological world view but I got to give it to him, he is a great speaker and knows how to hit hard, fast and get a room going on his side. JD Vance is very boring, lacks intelligence, and comes off as a wood log, Waltz is a step up in personality and intelligence for sure.

The USA did win the cold war by creating a vibrant and strong free market system around the globe, opening up the oceans and water ways of the world to free passage and trade, and creating the modern world view where all people who have majority have the right to self determination of their own fate which collapsed and destroyed both the British AND French Empire leading to freedom and independence for nations like India, Pakistan, Israel, Saudi Arabia, Syria, all of the Emirates states and much of Africa and so many other nations around the world. The USA killed of many Empire, the Japanese Empire destroyed, the French and British Empires killed off, and the USSR as well which as yet another Empire destroyed by the USA. Today the world has no Empires and Putin is trying to create one but so far he is not doing to well.

True, Trump won becasue he over promised on the economy which he will not be able to deliver on - he won the elderly and low income by promising to lower inflation, lower cost of living, lower price of food, fuel, services, goods. This is a total opposite policy to using tariffs, reducing and removing immigrants, those policies raise inflation dramatically. Trump is lying to win and not on small subjects but the TOP forces of the economy. He cannot deliver what he has promised to a massive extent. He won by over promising.
He promised the low skilled Americans who have fallen behind in wealth and income equality a solution that is not coming, if Americans are slapped with Tariffs A mechanic can now only buy 1 American made tool for the price of 5 Chinese tools and so productivity and opportunity will crash in the USA. IN the long run, Productivity is everything, it is growth.

China has provided the USA with decades of low inflation but China now has the weapon to create incredible inflation in the USA if they choose to. Russia had little to no impact on the USA other than some fertilizer and oil price adjustments which gets worked out of the systems pretty fast but China is another story, without imports from China the costs of goods in the USA will rise incredibly aggresively, heavy shortages and monster inflation will leads to large rise in interest rates, basically the current situation the USA is in but 10x more, much more inflation, incredible levels of shortages, stores that carry large quantity of China and Taiwan goods will collapse over night, shortages on every list possible. China would be impacted much worse including risk of CCP having large scale civil unrest as China loses most of its export markets. Will this come true, I don't know but I also don't think it's impossible. I say, be ready for it. Anything you buy made in Taiwan or China, prepare as if no more will come. Either get enough of it for many years to come or prepare to no longer find these items in the future. I am sure that alternatives to China will appear once the world shifts maybe Mexico maybe in the USA/Canada or from Africa but I am preparing today.

Europe already is BRICS = it is a union of much smaller countries in to one system but the economies of Europe have developed the EURO which is the key to power. The economies and interest rates set by the ECB makes it all possible thanks to very similar economy shared by Euro zone countries. Would Russia, China, Brazil, South Africa, all join in to sharing a single new currancy? Well it would mean China giving up control over it's currancy and no longer being able to manipulate it to expand it's export industry which would hurt China dramatically, at the same time the interest rates and economic situations in each BRCIS member is wildly different. Russia is in a war, China is in deflation, South Africa is doing fine, Brazil is coming out of a period of stagnation, each member is WILDLY, dramatically different economy and economic status then the rest. So how would BRICS currancy set it's interest rate when each country is so different? Inflation rate is so different? It is practically impossible and would be highly unstable. Not to mention Russia and China I highly doubt would give up their currancy Sovereignty due to their national/military long-term goals.

I used airbnb when I went on 3 long road trips in 2020 and 2021 during COVID it was a great time to travel, cheap airbnb stays and I DO MEAN CHEAP, very cheap gas, open and empty roads, we had a great time! Montana, Idaho, Utah, Oregon, California, Nevada we stayed mostly in small towns and rural areas, farms, cabins, some fancy some not, always the entire house and chose the best places and it was really cheap until mid way through 2021 and the party ended. I even worked remote from some of the places we stayed in since we ran out of vacation days... Well worth it and did not cost much money. Surprisingly we never got COVID either but we are very careful, always wore a mask and cleaned all surfaces down from door handles to light switches, 20 minutes in the homes we stayed and it was all good. We also mostly made out own food and went shopping at night time when stores were empty, but I have been doing that for the last like 10+ years since I was a kid so it's just by habit prevented getting sick I think.

The drive for technology and innovation due to WW2 and the Cold War were really tremendous, it is hard to know how different the world would have been today, perhaps many decades behind where we are now, let alone Satellite technology, nuclear energy, medical research and treatment, development of aircraft, engines, cars and even operational things like road networks, logistics, shipping, global trade and so on.

Putin is invading his neighbors under Racist mind and ideas of imperialism. Hitler also did the same thing, he marched in to Czech Republic , Denmark, Australia, Belgium with the same mind set as Putin. Hitler and Putin are brothers not opposites, not enemies, but brothers. Putin brings up the defeat of Germany all the time of Nazism all the time, because he loves it. Putin is using the "Z" the same as Swastika!!! It is the same meaning, of chaos, of killing innocent peoples, Z = doing bad things to innocent people = CHAOS of dead and blood. Red = BLOOD, Black = DEATH. Z = NAZI.

Very important to understand that Socialism is a platform rather than one clear ideology. For example Adolf Hitler saw himself and his party as Socialists as Nationalist-Socialists or in today's wording as Socialism with German racial Characteristics, and so instead of order of society by economic-social standing as workers, farmers, land owners and so on, Hitler instead saw Socialist order by race, pure white Aryans as the top of society and different cultures or mixes of race below them until the bottom as people who do not have a home country or homeland which at the time were the Jewish people who of course did establish a country not long after the end of WW2 which just goes to show had stupid Socialism is. Is Socialism with Chinese characteristics any different? No. It is still using the same old structure of Socialism with China's own view of order of society by connections, power and influence which is why when the Chinese Communist Party see someone become popular in China and famous that is not inside the Socialist ranks they take forceful action because they are playing outside of the game, famous people who are now in prison or dead or rotting away in Qincheng or Tilanqiao Prisons people like Jack Ma, Edison Chen, Kris Wu, Gao Xiaosong and so so so many other good and talented and gifted people just because they became famous and gained influence which is in competition with the Chinese Socialist order. This goes to show how stupid and old and bad Socialism is, it is an old broken system from an old world and China is stuck to it until it can break free.

This Havana Syndrome CLAIM is probably Russian propaganda, the Human Body only impact from radiation, be it high frequency like cellular or microwave is to cause HEAT. I must make this SUPER clear, the human body only impact is heat. When you talk on a Cell Phone for a long time your ear and head will become HOT that is the outcome of radiation, of the energy of HF radio antenna in the phone causing the human body near the source to rise in temperature. Can Russia or China blast Americans with a secret new technology to cause them pain? NO, 100% impossible and no technology exists that can cause that except maybe some sounds being blasted very loud and hard but then the person that is the "victim" would be obviously very aware of where the pain came from. But again, the only impact to the Human body from radiation, microwave, HF radio is one outcome and that is rise in heat near the source like putting your head up against a cell phone or cell tower, it causes HEAT not pain or rining. Most likely the Havana Syndrome itself, the idea of it being real is the Russian Propaganda not the actual outcome of people getting harmed that most likely is something else that is not caused by Russia like the US Government workers are being over-worked or something like that.

@Gerrard_Pike2008 Russia had 150,000 at the start of the war but within 2 months it hit 200,000 and by the end of the year it was 250,000. Right now Russia has 550,000. Keep in mind many many many thousands of solders are operating logistics, moving foods around, clothes, armor, ammunition. radar, intelligence, communications, navy, air force, it's a lot of people and a lot of jobs but Russia already has 100,000 dead, 50k dead military 50k dead from wagner and other mercenaries. These number are real because they come from Russian generals.

Well there is no waiting lines in the USA, surgery, specialists, it is all very fast as there is incentive to make money. The thing is that after Obamacare changes the USA now has a Maximum any person will have to pay for most it is around $1,500 to $3000 for a year, so you read the news about someone having a bill in the USA of a million dollars but that is not true, that is only on paper which is a process between insurance and Health provider, but when the system settles the claim it is much smaller number like $10,000 and the person is charged the maximum allowed after that it is all 100% free. The system is much better then you think. The only issue is people with no insurance which is around 7% of the US population but many of them are on purpose chose not to work, or retired but before age 65 when all medical is covered by the Government or people who cannot find work, that needs to be solved for sure but it is a small percent of the population.

When people know they are the good guys they fight to the end and like hell - no better example than Ukraine VS Russia. A pretty weak army managed to fight back and win against the world's #2 army and largest land army by far. If Canada ever had an armed conflict with the USA, it is Canada that would be the good guys and so they will win too. Why? Because true patriotic Americans who make good solders and fight like hell would NEVER take part in that, and so the army would be invading Canada with losers, morons, idiots, and people forced to fight who are not invested in the war = American would lose the war.
No matter what odds, no matter how many tanks and airplanes, the USA would lose because the Patriotism and true willingness to fight would be absolutely on the Canadian side. Russia lost 20,000 TANKS, that is WW2 level against a country of rag tag made up units managed to destroy it ALL. How? Because they had the willingness to do so. Just like Canada would have. So the USA would never win and so Canada no matter what, will NEVER be the 51st state no by economic war and not even by actual armed conflict. Not happening. So we in the USA need to chill out, and forget the 51st state bullshit because it will never happen. Not in 2025 and not in the year 3000, forget it.

The dollar is well on it's way back to where it was before COVID and the inflation is fizzling out. Also, unless you actually travel the USA you really don't know much about what is going on in the country. The West and South of the USA is just getting started to grow, you have giant growth all over the place, Salt Lake City and here in Seattle grew 15% in population during 2020 while COVID was going on imagine what the growth is in 2021 it is pure crazy growth. I went on 3 long drives during COVID in 2020, from Seattle to Montana, Wyoming, Utah, then Oregon, Nevada, California and the 3rd road trip was locally in Washington state. Cities everywhere are growing in crazy levels, you have tri cities in Washington state growing like madness from the factories and industry you have Reno Nevada which is getting built with new everything, and tech companies opening offices there, you have Salt Lake city full of new everything, sea of houses, new tech office towers just everything. Boise is growing like crazy even Las Vegas which is getting built up like crazy with new factories and resorts, even the city of Ridgecrest California is in total growth explosion, new factories and everything and then you have the explosion of growth in the south in Florida, Texas. Anyone who talks down the USA is just blind to the reality. The fun is just getting started! Most of the western USA is just starting to get developed, this is just baby stages.

He is looking at Trump as if he has a grand game strategy but I think that is incorrect - Trump is a man that operates by the seat of his pants, things happen because he is swayed one way or another by others or his own older convictions from the past. Trump is a creation of people around him and his MAGA base - that need Trump and use him for their ends. Trump is a vassal for other to use to get in to positions, power and influence they desire.
The one major force behind Trump is the tens of millions of Americans who's family heritage is one of working in industry making high income with low skills, manual work - that works ended due to globalization - which is not a human creation it is the world coming out of the both WW2 and the Cold war in to a new world where over 1 billion Chinese people are opened up to the world and want to work hard and are willing to make goods for much cheaper than an American costs to do the same.
So tens of millions of Americas are chasing after a GHOST - a view that America can get back to manufacturing again as it did in the 1950s-1900s but that ship has sailed, Americans are getting older, Americans are used to easy life, Americans demand high pay, even in low end factory in Georgia and Mississippi the wage is around $15 per hour, while in a pretty middle of the road country like Poland, Romania the wage is around $5 per hour in Taiwan, Vietnam, China also $5 per hour, In Mexico even cheaper $4 per hour, and India --- well who knows, $3? $2? How can the USA ever compete with that? It's a dead end road that will simply move investment money from what the USA is good at like Tech and Finance in to dead end manufacturing that has no export market and requires costly tariffs to maintain. It is a dead end path
The people that got Trump in to office are living in dream - they desire a world that is impossible financially to create. Only at great harm to the American Economy and future. The American working class is like a sad story of Don Quixote They are chasing down a pipe dream and will cause major damage to the USA economy trying to Achieve this through Trump and future people similar to him like JD Vance or Lutnik and others.

EX Soviet Union member nations lost their religion what they have today is more of superstition with a little bit of spiritual element, it's not really Christianity they know very very little about Christianity. You will see people in Russia, Ukraine and other Ex Soviet block have Christian symbols in their car, home, on their body but in reality it is not religion but superstition or only the spiritual aspect, that it will protect them, give them strength, courage and other features but it is not religion but instead superstition or Spiritual. They do not learn or read the bible, they do not take part in actual Church services or any knowledge or study. The only Orthodox country that still actually has a large real participation in the religion itself is Greece of course where it is part of culture and community and a large percent of society actually takes part in the religion and not out of superstition. Western Europe lost Christianity but not by force like the Ex Soviet Block and has less superstition but that has also appeared and plays a part, however mostly this is the outcome of Secular enlightenment but has caused a collapse of Community aspects of western Culture, only in the Americas will you find both real large participation in Christianity as a religion and very low superstition with very large knowledge and deep relationship with Christianity on all aspects from community, knowledge, study, and taking part in Sunday Church services that has a large community and cultural part of life. What is interesting is how true Christianity has remained very large part of the population in Communist American countries like Cuba and Venezuela

@raywhitehead730 All services are linked back to Congress after 2008 and 2020 as every local authority needed assistance - so no police, no medical or fire services, no demand for work, no road repairs, water and waste might collapse, no singing of any paper work so no building or construction, no permits to hunt or fish, no access to any national parks, no money to phone operators so mobile phone networks and internet might be cut in some areas if the shut down really drags on for months, no social security or medical services after a period of time, trade might slow as ports close down so might see shortages and inflation on goods. It's only minor if the shutdown is a few days but this might be years. The US army might be impacted too having to end VA pay and medical services will end to focus on active military operations. State and city services might be shut down. Stocks will crash and economy might enter recession as growth collapses form lack of demand.

@josdav07 Russian economy depends on natural resources and the profits form that have crashed not only because of sanctions but the value of oil and gas is lower than before the war started. The Russian industry was able to sell goods to the west, ammunition, clothing, food, watches, bedding, all kinds of goods this is now gone. What does Russia do? They now trade with China more and more but this is not going to go well becasue Russia costs much more to make goods than China so this will just be more Chinese goods entering Russian economy and KILLING Russian industry. If you walk around in Russia any city you will see empty closed old factories not just from Soviet Union but dead because of imports from China that killed Russian companies. Guess what? This will not only increase more and more and more. Russia will lose the industry left to China in coming years. All for what? To a stupid war? The west was offering Russia Technology jobs, high industry, commerce, retail, imports of goods made in Russia, high cost of oil and gas. All gone. This is not going to go well for Russia. Sanctions take time, not over night, 10 years 20 years this is long long term changes. You think Western companies will ever do business again with Russia even if the war ends??? Of course not. They will never invest 1 ruble in to Russia ever again so this is a long term path for Russia and not even the war ending will change that.

This is not true.
Remember, the CUSTOMER is always RIGHT. Who is the customer between the USA or China? Of course it is the USA. Any country can produce goods, but the CUSTOMER is the problem otherwise you would have ENDLESS growth. The World customer is the USA, it is the BUYER the power is always in the hands of the buyer.
The USA will find alternative sources of goods, there is India that is more than happy to steal industry and growth from China. There is South America that in the USA is already full of goods from Columbia, Honduras, clothing, kitchen tools, Mexico, Turkey, Europe, and Africa, in the USA I find a lot of clothing made in Africa, normal plain shirts from Ethiopia, brand names of all kinds are now made in Africa. This is not a surprise why China's GDP is slowing down so much there are so many exporters ready to sign deals around the globe. China's is for sure the leader in electronics but don't think for a second that the USA cannot find alternatives to China of course it will, the world is begging the USA to be a customer.

Nazi themselves were woke in 1930s Europe. The Nazis had in the ranks the wealthy, the entertainment, why do you think they put on shows, marches, protests, mob protests, the Nazis were the woke of the 1930s. They were like occupy wall street and BLM burning down peoples private businesses for their silly causes. The Nazis were woke that's the problem, you had to join them or die just like how Woke treat anyone who is different than them. We are conservatives self minded private people, the Nazis like the Woke are communal people, they want to force you to be part of the " social community" The Nazis in the very name is Socialists, they were collectivists, everyone is in the community, holding hands, dancing together, makes me sick.

That would have been man made objects, see, during the day the sun is much brighter up in space making the reflection off of man made objects, seems like an orb or cylinder then the light is refracted like through glass by the humidity in our sky causing all kinds of strange objects, sizes, shapes and they could be pulsating, shimmying, dancing yet it is just the nature of our planet and the junk we have sent up in to space. At night we also see another oddity which is stars (distant suns) do strange things as the humidity in our sky will make them dance and color change, pluses but it is just refracted light of distant stars (suns). One thing to note is that alien life would probably do what we have been doing which is blast the universe with trash, radio signals, TV signals, Satellite broadcasts of endless radio frequencies of electronic interference and yet we are listening to the skies have have found nothing. I am positive intelligent life is out there but they most probably are stuck in their solar system just as we are which is why finally last year in 2020 the first of its kind Satellite was lunched that will watch the skies for light or laser beams sent at us form intelligent source, so they will be looking for light sent at us that has an unnatural repeating pattern to it. This most likely is the only way to communicate with aliens. This is probably the final chapter and if we come back empty handed it would just mean that life out there is just too far away from us. But no, I don't think aliens have visited earth but they are probably out there just a bit stranded, just like we are.

The Western and Southern USA has a lot of heat and spice from the influence of Mexico and central/south America as well as SE Asia like Korea, Thailand and China has changed the cuisine. My staple favorite is a good example, it's a Hamburger with 1 egg, pickled or fried Jalapenos with Mexican hot sauce, it's almost too good to be real!! Or a Guacamole/Tomatillo Hamburger with bacon and hot sauce. You can find this merger of cuisines pretty standard, just walk in to any bar or diner or even chain restaurants like Red Robin or Applebee's and the menu has lots of heat, I almost dare say there is more stuff with Heat then without it. White people food is for sure very popular too, Seattle here has always been a fish and seafood town and most of that has no heat but even the most iconic old world, super popular seafood restaurants in Seattle have many hot/spicy items for sure, just google the top restaurants in Seattle and you will find a mixture of white people food with heat it's pretty funny. You also see this in Japan which is pretty much white people food, yes Japan has Wasabi but its only a condiment, but you can find in Japan today lots of spicy options which are adopted from Korea/China and even Mexico or South America.

@Sha123-d7u Every time we had a rate hike cycle the FED had to run and cut becasue the economy started to fall apart like 2000 and 2008 but we did have a start to a normal cycle in 2017 when Powell himself hiked to 2.5% by end of 2018 and he started to cut rates in 2019 slowly until COVID happened and then he cut to 0% of course but until that he began to cut without the economy falling apart for the first time since the 1960s we had a normal cycle with no disasters. I just hope that Powell can pull it off for a second time, if he does I hope people respect his work, I am sure he is right now, at the minute looking over data and wanting BADLY to cut rates right now, at this very minute but he has to see inflation come down so it's a very tense time for the FED and Powell which is why he is so quiet, you don't see Powell at all now, he basically disappeared except for some conference event. He tried to get cuts started at the end of 2023 but then inflation went up again, the lack of houses for sale is the problem as housing is like 40% or whatever of PCE number. Anyway, we will wait and see, I think FED is DYING to cut but their hands are tied for now, sending out KASHKARI to scare everyone but we shall see.... The FED is on our side, they want inflation down and to cut rates fast to prevent disaster, that's what we all want.

This video is all over the fucking place. You talk about the wealth stolen from India, China, Africa and other countries yeah and the USA decided not let that happen to itself so the 13 colonies had a war of independence against the British Empire and many of your own forefathers died to fight against the British Empire. Hello? Also, you clearly have never really traveled the world as most countries haven many of their own apps and software from local companies, Europe, Japan, Korea, Africa, China, South America, all have their own local software and apps your view that American companies dominate world of software is very short sighted and lacks wordily experience. The rest of the video is full of the same stuff.

A few more warning signs:
#1 someone else is filming and the quality is too good for just a random skilled youtuber #2 the quantity of videos published is both at high volume but also keeps changing it rises and falls in quantity of new videos based on events, not his own life, not a normal schedule but it is like he gets a phone call that says, go do X and Y and he heads out to film right away, so the schedule is all over the place. #3 he keeps changing, it's not very consistent in the narrative like a normal youtuber will try and keep the format going to keep the views high for every video but he has videos with almost no views at all, then a video with a huge number of views so it is not consistent like a normal youtuber who has massive incentive to make sure every video gets pretty stable views, this channel is all over the place. #4 lack of advertisements, if he is living off of the youtube income it should be blasting ads but it's not, sure some youtubers only have 1 ad at the start and one at the end, maybe they are humble but this guy? In Russia? being Humble? Yeah.... no, I don't buy it. The lack of ads seems to be intentional to get the most views possible to keep watching for the longest possible time, yeah.
