Russia didn’t cut off the Oil from Germany/Europe. The US bombed The Nord Stream Pipeline and Cut their own Friends Right Arms all together. Don’t blame the victim for the US Crimes Paul.
Paul Krugman “Looks Like The US Won”. No, The US failed their “Trade War” terribly, and they hit their own toes with big Brick The US is a BIG JOKE on the "World Stage''. Every single harm the US does to others is always Back-Fired Burns in their own hands. Often talk to those IVY LEAGUE graduated Cauasians, always wonder where is their brain and logic by harming themselves without a clue.
Sanctions implying "costs" resulting in an opportunity for the sanctioned to invest toward solutions that work for them? Is that really what we want to do to preserve or promote US interests? Short-sighted decision-making can become nefast to our long-term interests. Decision proposals need to be studied further as to the hypothetically different responses that could ensue before taking them. I think the only way we'll get back on track is by bringing our "made in USA" back, in other words, increasing production and manufacturing using technology. The cost of labor was the competitive advantage to some other nations but now through robotics and AGI, we can start producing back in the USA.
Wow, Hudson is right; Krugman knows nothing about money. Oddly, these guys seem to forget SWIFT is the channel to export the over-printed dollars to other countries.
Post World War 2, We are living in the Era of The American Empire, We are also living in the Era of Neo Colonialism(indirect control), We are also living in the era of Weasel politicians, who would bow down to anyone with money. And America is the queen of indirect control. Once Neo Colonialism collapses Democracies will thrive. Basically, after the second world war America has been running from third base to fourth base and calling themselves winner of the "world series". The era of China has begun, though the era of America is not completly lost. China is strong but not that strong. America is weak but not that weak. So, in this contest America will try to use G7 countries China will try to use Brics+ (Iran and Saudi Arabia). That tells you the era of a multi polar world is upon us. Whoever controls the middle east controls the world, The Europeans once controlled the middle east so they ruled the world, now America controls the middle east so it controls the world, if the indications are true tomorrow China is going to control the world and global economy because they have forged a relationship with Middle East. They are the going to be the defacto epicenter of the global economy and trade in the coming years. Where America has reached in 240 years, China has reached there in 40 years. Take that American Capitalism! The name of the game is Capitalism. "Who knew China (Communist party of China) is going to be so good at it?" China is winning because USA has allowed it to win because they hate Russia so much, which is the biggest foreign policy blunder in the last 40 years. Socialism with Chinese Characteristics is just a euphemism for Authorotarian capitalism. China owes "a lot of it's success" to a series of poor foreign policy decision by America (The West) which is to involve China in WTO and shifted evey job from Detroit to Shanghai, Apparently the wonders of capitalism was supposed to make China more "democratic" nither did that happen nor did it drive a wedge between Soviet Russia and China (US specially has this obsession with Russia that one cannot understand). It has created a more powerful China and Russia alliance. Which is extremely hard to counter for the west. By 2030-32 China is going to become the largest economy in world which is going to be a massive change in the world and if it's goes really bad for US and it collapses (40 years after the Soviet Empire collapsed) then we might be ushered into a new era. There is nothing as soft power, there is hard power and everything flows from there. That's true for American Empire, Russia, China and the British Empire. In America the political parties change but the policies don't change, In China the political party don't change but the policies change all the time. Till America doesn't change course it is in for a rough ride for the next couple of decades. The current election in America between Joe Biden and Trump might be the most inconsequential elections in American history. The next president will stay in power till 2028 and next election will be on 2032. By 2030-32 China might become the biggest economy in the world. We are moving into the era of China. By 2030-32 China is going to be the largest economy in the world and then we are going to move into a new era, that would be the era of *Authoritarian Capitalism*. China calls it's system "Socialism with Chinese Characteristics" it's basically code to *"Authoritarian capitalism"*, it's the same systems that Qatar, Saudi Arabia and UAE have which is also *"AUTHORITARIAN CAPITALISM"* built on the back of *KAFALA SYSTEM*, which is using cheap (slave) labour to built, thier nation state while whitewashing the country' image through media and sports washing. (Paying David Beckham 270 million dollars while playing the migrants workers pennis in worst working conditions) Before the world wars we were living in the era of European Empires under *EUROPEAN COLONIALISM* where the European Powers captured territories in half the world and milked it's resources for thier fiefdoms. In the era of colonialism Britian, France, Germany, Netherlands, Belgium, Portugal, Spain and Turkey used to have direct control over thier territorirs they conquered. Right now we are living in the era of the American Empire, which is a *NEOCOLONIALISM* era, and America is the Queen of indirect control. America doesn't control anything directly but controls everything indirectly. (WTO, NATO, IMF, Media, Information Technology, Military Bases, Military Hardware Exports, Dollar, Petro Dollar, Swift payment system, Shipping lanes etc). That is about to change once China becomes number 1. Whether you like China or hate China, or whether you like America or hate America, you have to agree that once China becomes number 1 that's a new situation, Most people cannot see a new situation till it hits them, and not everyone is paying attention to it, not everyone has a plan for how they'll deal with it. Once United States became number 1 after the world war, and replaced The British Empire as the dominant force, they did a couple of things like signing a deal with one of largest oil producer Saudi Arabia and created a system of Petro Dollar and has had a bunch of Wars or tried to establish puppet regimes in Iran, Iraq, Libya, Syria, Kuwait, UAE, Egypt, Qatar with Saudi Arabia to establish control over the most important Energy resources to control and maintain it's influence over the rest of the world. If you look at what China is doing, They already have 30 year deals for Oil deal with Russia and Iran, And now Saudis are also willing to take payments in Chinese Yuan for Oil purchases. They have already set the table for how they are going to operate in this new era, they have been very proactive about how they see this "NEW WORLD" and not everyone has woken up to this reality including the Americans. Most people cannot see a new situation till it hits them. It will not be any European statesman who will unite europe, Europe will be united by China: Charles De Gaulle
Just a question: who is the bad regime? Look at your own government! Putin is a clever guy And the world is turning away from usa - and this is damn good!
If they had shown the destruction of the bombs there would have been a crowd of people accusing them of profiting off Japan's trauma, and calling it truama porn 😒 there really wasn't a right answer with the subject (except maybe show the scientist at Los Amos thst did die of radiation poisoning from the trinity test, but even then i prefer Nolan's answer it had more power not showing it, it made it more horrifying)
Never mind. Don't waste your time with this. The same mainstream talking points ad nauseam. The three stooges have absolutely no idea of what is actually going on in the world today or they do but are dutifully adhering to the prevailing narrative. Countries all over the world are sick and tired of us bullying ever one that does not do our bidding. We have sanctioned half the world. I am waiting for the moment when the idiots in Washington sanction themselves after exhausting all else. Weaponizing the dollar and the US controlled financial system will eventually have dire consequences for us. It won't happen overnight obviously but the trend has already started. Instigating orange revolutions and coups in places where we don't like the government is a second nature to us, yet we pretend that we respect the sovereignty of other nations. Our political imbecilic elites have turned the US in the most hated and isolated country in the world. I have no hope of things getting better anytime soon.
The real issue with the sanctions that these two are not pointing out is that these sanctions are giving incentive for the rest of the world to reduce their dependence on these US controlled networks. Other countries have seen what these two are talking about for years.
I’m astounded. Absolutely astounded. They are giving the introduction with an assumption that the audience does not link together economics, geopolitics, and conflict. I sure hope their audience is smarter than that.
"America" is not a country! ...it is actually the name of our CONTINENT... having 35 sovereign countries and over one billion people! Many American countries are over 100 years older the even Jamestown (our oldest US city). Many Europeans became accustomed to emigrate to North and South America as they sought greater opportunity and freedom. The United States as well as Mexico, Brazil, Argentina, etc. Welcomed millions of Europeans over hundreds of years. During WWII, many Canadians and Unitedstadians plus a smaller amount of Latin Americans were the AMERICANS that helped the Europeans fight against Hitler. The United States does not own America, nor do they speak for the interests of all Americans! Stop this name ignorance!!! I love my country, USA!!! What to call the fine people of the USA? South Americans call us UNITEDSTADIANS! I agree with that!
If the US systematically abused its influence over global finance, the developed democracies (EU, UK, Australia, Canada, Japan, S. Korea, Taiwan, Israel) would have developed an alternative financial system.
So: The US provides enormously valuable financial services internationally. The US could decide to withhold these services from countries, like Russia, under extreme circumstances. (Isn't this old news?)
If the U.S. expects countries to want to use the dollar and the U.S. Treasury we should stop weaponizing the current financial system. This is not in America's interest to do this without due process.
These elites in tandem with the corrupt government will take this country to it's knees like the fall of Rome, My sympathy goes to anyone approaching retirement, you may have reasonable concerns over your pension and if it'll stretch to cover the rising cost of living, bad regulatory policies, bad energy and insane fiscal policies.
Financial planning and retirement strategies are crucial, especially in today's economic climate. With global economic fluctuations and uncertainties, it's essential to have a solid plan in place to protect your financial future.
Consider diversifying your portfolio with a mix of stocks and stable assets. Seeking professional advice now could provide valuable insights and strategies to navigate market uncertainties and protect your investments.
the strategies for diversification into other commodities are quite rigorous for the regular-Joe. As a matter of fact, they are mostly successfully carried out by pros who have had a great deal of skills and knowledge
Even with the right strategies and appropriate assets, investment returns can differ among investors. Recognizing the vital role of experience in investment success is crucial. Personally, I understood this significance and sought guidance from a market analyst, significantly growing my accounts. Strategically taking profits just before the market correction, I'm now seizing buying opportunities once again.
All Empires only have a limited time to rule history have proved that over and over again and the time has come for a just new world order .The world will be ruled by a Multipolar world where the future generations will benefit. God bless the human race. 🙏
This started off being interesting but towards the end it showed that this guy is deranged and completely out of touch with reality and recent History, now I know that he has his head elsewhere, but seriously how can it be that he missed all those news reports between 2004 and 2022?
Jesus.....people on the west are so delusional in respect of the reality! Putin is a dictator and would be killed if he doesn't succeed in the war? The inability to understand the world outside the so called "west" is bringing that west to a total demise and collapse! The "west" is not the world but a small part of it! What a waste of time was watching this.....
I thought at first some of these people had understanding of what reality was. Then I started to see flaws in the thinking that was heavily blended with propaganda. By the end, I concluded it was mostly propaganda, with a pinch of thinking outside commonly held beliefs.
As good professors i think you should've humble set off the arguments with an admission of belonging to the so-called 'golden billion' , that privileged world population segment associated with 50% of world wealth who therefore pulls all the levers of globalisation while the rest are your What a disingenuous and preposterous blame game against HUAWEI and other non-American tech success stories! Anyone listening up can easily deduce from the lecture that its actually the American national and data security agencies, by virtue of their well-developed internet, web and connectivity infrastructures, that automatically get the earliest and most opportune chance to access, and potentially read , copy, steal, publish, develop and register other people's IP assets streamed and routinely re-routed through US-based networks, servers etc. before they can even hit intended recipients addresses. Surely the monopoly game theorized is far more widespread than just the dollar-exchange rates! However, i can also guess there are nation-states on other side of the globe who are politically independent, tech savvy, economically developed and intellectually resourced enough to have own internets, data operating systems and connectivity solutions free from USA's encumbrances and sufficiently capable to reproduce similar digital monopolies at national and regional levels and secured sufficiently from privacy breaches and data piracy.
They are talking about the "weaponization" as if it is a positive thing. This is the singular aspect that will eliminate the primacy of the US dollar as the world's currency, and global formations like BRICS are already well on their way to accomplishing it. In the short-term, these fellows can continue with their manipulations and weaponizations, but in the medium to long-term, they will be rendered the fate that Dinosaurs suffered.
While the US is not perfect, on a scale of 1 to 10 with 10 being the most evil and harmful, Russia, Iran and China are an 8 while the US is a 2 or 3. Thus the US having these powers and using them versus Russia in China seems like a good thing. China severely represses their people including committing genocide against some of them … Plus is doing serious harm outside of its borders. Russia frequently and deliberately destroys civilian buildings in Ukraine and kills lots of innocent civilians… And also has kidnapped huge numbers of children… And also invaded and now occupies a second neighboring country, which is Georgia. And does plenty of other evil things. Sure there are times in which they should not be used, But it seems like too much of this forum seems to imply that overall it’s a very bad thing. And I think they are wrong about that.
To anyone paying attention to geo-politcal events over the past 10 years and being famiiiar with Michael Hudson master thesis and book, Super-imperialism, this lecture appears to be late in coming advice and old news! This lecture should have been given to each successive Administration since 2000s advising them of the limits of Financial Sanctions and the dangers of imperial hubris!
"Give me absolute control, over every living soul." As the great Leonard Cohen once sang. The Cyberthug Regime has inserted tiny metallic lipid nanoparticles into people and has wired their brain-to-net ("Neuralink.") They're then using 8 billion human bodies as a giant CPU and databank to run ChatGPT and other AI programs. If you protest this, giant detention centers are being constructed in every US state to detain you as a dissident. (See Clayton Morris's "Redacted" for more on the government contracts for the detention centers. See European researchers on tiny metallic particles in mRNA vaccines. See Elon Musk for brain-to-net and Neuralink. See numerous crimes against humanity from DARPA.)
USA is to blame fore most of the wars since world war two . millions of people kill in those wars .USA want to control the world like a dictator state so we are on the way to 3 world war thanks to USA shame on YOU.
