America is currently plagued by the hydra-headed evil duo of inflation and recession. The worst part about this recession is that consumers are racking up credit card debt. In April alone, credit card debt went up 20% while rates have doubled in a year. Inflation is so high that consumers are literally taking debt for basic life necessities. Collapse has indeed begun..

Asking for advice or assistance from a consultant or investment coach is the best line of action if you lack market understanding. Even though it sounds cliche or apparent, talking to a consultant has helped me stay afloat in the market and increase my portfolio to roughly 65% since January 2023. That, in my opinion, is now the most successful strategy for entering the market.

The war could have been stopped 2 years ago with much softer conditions for Ukraine, with less territories lost. The big problem now is distrust: Russia doesn't trust the West, they broke the Minsk accord and pumped weapons inside Ukraine instead of stopping the civil war in Donbas.

It's the same thing. Either do both or don't bother with either. Modern wars can easily destroy fragile modern economies -- rail systems, ports, power grids, oil and gas for agriculture, etc., etc. not to mention long term effects of mobilizing massive numbers of workers to fight, having 1/3 of your country flattened, 1/4 of your population leave, etc., etc. If you expect Ukraine to fight, that will include keeping it's economy a float -- loans, humanitarian aid, giving it weapons you know it can't pay for, allowing them to divert spending to weapons/military, taking in large numbers of refugees, buying their grain, etc. If you accept there is a valid reason to arm Ukraine (right thing to do, humanitarian, they are destroying Russia's conventional capacity, they are dissuading future Russian/Chinese attacks, to avoid millions of refugees, or whatever your reasons), you might as well support their economy to keep them in the fight, since the same logic still applies. If you don't... there is no point giving Ukraine a ton of weapons if it's economy is going to collapse, it can't pay for basics, people flee, etc.

Eastern part of Ukr are Russian speaking people, they are Russians. They were bombed since 2014 by Ukr and treated as second class citizens. They were part of greater Russia before the USSR folded. Nato moving into Ukr was a red line that Russia was not prepared to accept, their security threatened by Nato on its doorstep. The Collective West has been preparing Ukr a Proxi for a war with Russia. Imposing sanctions expecting to distabalise the Russians bringing a regime change in Moscow. How did that work out for the tools? Taking on Russia without understanding what Russia was. The Collective West has bitten off more than they could chew! They have destroyed themselves and Europe will suffer.

Victor Davis Hanson is awesome! I prefer him over another brainy fellow that I almost like, Peter Ziehan, as Peter tends to be swayed by the Democrats he gets hired by for consulting, biased Lefty. ... Victor is essential listening/reading in this day and age. Thank God for him.

Отвечу я😅. Китай не заинтересован в раздувании конфликта с Индией. Индию подталкивают британцы, которые очень влияют на внутреннюю политику Индии. Китай проталкивает общее экономическое транспортное пространство в Евразии и Африке. Британцы Американцы и их прокси Израиль, Франция и ЕС сопротивляются.

It's time that Russia is treated with the same respect as our President. As hard as we tried to keep them from growing, it happened anyway, and we need a multipolar world. Too much propaganda trying to remain on top. It's driving the regular American citizen bat sh*t bonkers.

What might want to be considered is that Europe is beginning to sell war bonds funded by the ECB and paid for by European citizens for the soul purpose developing a European military. Hence, separating itself from the US and NATO. This need be considered as it is being implemented.

Europe should break their alliance with the USA, but they won't. The USA is creating a new Soviet Union which includes: USA. UK, Canada, Western Europe, Japan, Australia, South Korea, Mexico, and Argentina. All countries outside this USA Soviet Union will be labelled "Terrorist Nations"

When the Russians recently captured/liberated the city of Advika they found ethnic Russian civilians bunkered down waiting for them. This city has been occupied by the Ukrainian nationalists for over 8 years under continuous siege for over two and at no point did these people even consider leaving and now in the aftermath they are the entire civilian population that remains...and they welcomed the Russians as heroic liberators. This is one of those things that you can see coming from a decade away. The population of this region in the future will derive from two groups , those like the survivors above who stuck it out till the Russian volunteers arrived and liberated them and the demobilized volunteers themselves most of whom are from the region as well settled with their bonuses on land given to them to encourage their occupation of a historically problematic part of the map. Putin is too cagy by half to not have already put this in to motion.

Who lost 600,000 dead, injured and missing? A Polish general has recently come out and stated that the Ukrainians have suffered over 1,000,000 casualties. He could have inside information on this. As for Russian loses? They are considerably lower. Around 200,000 maybe. Professor Hanson always gets this wrong on purpose although I can find no good reason as to why.
