“The skies are darkening over Europe’s economy and politics, all thanks to their determination to wage war against Russia.”
That is nonsense. Europe’s determination to resist Russian aggression is quite correct. Their economy and politics are crumbling due to their devotion to the climate crisis fraud.
‘Their determination to wage war against Russia.”
Give me a break, it is Russia waging a war against everyone else. Armstrong is a kook and a nut and your posting him repeatedly just makes the people on this board look stupid.
For the non-readers (I’m often guilty too, so not judging!)
“Let us not forget that the Minsk Agreement was supposed to let the Donbas vote on their own separation, as it took place with the break up of Yugoslavia according to ethnic lines.”
Many of our sources throughout the former Yugoslavia states are turning toward Russia than the West. Scandals, corruption, and constant broken promises are part of the shift toward the nationalistic view we see also rising in Germany. Most of the surrounding nations around Ukraine see them as an unethical group of people who are untrustworthy and the most corrupt in the world. they are baffled that the West is supporting Ukraine, and that is also contributing to the shift toward Russia.”
Markets also raised their expectations of European Central Bank rate cuts and see a more than 50% chance of a larger-than-usual 50 bp rate cut in December. The euro has weakened against the dollar as Europe and NATO vow to keep the war going after Donald Trump’s victory. Recent escalations in fighting between Russia and Ukraine and political uncertainty in Germany, the Eurozone’s biggest economy, have further weighed on the Euro in recent weeks. Our model still shows that the Eurozone will break apart as all centralized dictatorial forms of government inevitably fall. The same fate will shared by the USA.
Europe would not be going broke, if they were not spending on the same items as California.
Is it any different in the US nowadays.?
All the plans and problems with the invasion of our nation came from DC. Our "so called" leadership.. (spit)
EUROPE HAS BECOME AN ENEMY OF THE USA.
Onteresting that he claims the Euro is in trouble, but fails to mention that, this morning, it’s trading at 1 Euro to over 118 Rubles.
ELLEN DeGENErES made another bad choice.
Russia’s determination to wage war, actually. They are the ones who invaded, not the other way around.
Ukraine and Covid show there is a much greater problem today in the West, information control.
In the West, because NATO, the US/Canada, EU, both government and at least originally economic interests were all on board with this war, you have little criticism or even derogatory information presented. All interests aligned, so it became an avalanche politically and in the media but there was and remains much that should be discussed.
You have an extreme pro-war and pro-Ukraine bias in the Western MSM, which ironically historically is more left and talks about dialog, the need to avoid or end war. At the same time we mass censor Russian MSM (~40 media outlets), much on social media, and even many official Russian government websites are not viewable.
The Russian perspective was near entirely missing, and if it was presented at all, it was framed in a negative or critical way, i.e. the cause of this war and NATO East expansion, the fact that there are people who are ethnic Russian in Ukraine etc... Any argument or idea that did not fit into the picture was ignored or framed so that the one sided view persists.
2 years into the war, and the first major news story (not by a MSM outlet) broke that provided the Russian perspective: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hYfByTcY49k Am I the only one that sees an issue here? Of course Tucker was attacked with the usual garbage for this, but the real story is (((WHY)) did it take 2 years before we even hear the opposing sides perspective and even then it wasn't the MSM that presented this?
Flooded by a pro-war, pro-Ukraine, biased media on one side, and in a complete vaccume of information on the other, or only getting a negative spin of the other side by our own media which is quoting them, it is no suprise that the masses were at least initially led by those nose on this topic.
Yet, people are figuring out that things are not the way presented. There is a general consensus at this point, that maybe things are not going the way we were told, that Ukraine does have some issues and the war isn't some glorious ride to victory where cross eyed and two left footed Russians are being struck down by our wonder weapons. That is evidenced by the plumeting support for this war and polls which showed this war went negative already last year. It's also why our media stopped conducting polls, they are no longer advantageous in selling this war.
https://www.cnn.com/2023/08/04/politics/cnn-poll-ukraine/index.html (As soon as the polls went negative, the polling stopped)
Our MSM presents Russian make belief casualties as factual, but refuses to mention Ukrainian casualties. They don't want to talk about the canceling of elections and de facto dictator running Ukraine today (seldom mentioned). Nor do we mention who is paying for all those mercenaries, how Western weapons ended up in the hands of Hamas, how US journalists that dare report something negative are beaten and left without medical attention until they die... Stories about the forced conscription of young Ukrainian men, how some are trying to flee or hide, if presented at all, is only presented in a negative way for these young men. Ukrainian war crimes are downplayed, Russian war crimes are amplified, our wonder weapons will surely turn the tide, whatever the next system is that we provide, so is the story, over and over. The Ukrainian Nazi issue was outright hand-waved away by our MSM, but thanks to the pride many of these people have in being Nazi's, even with Google filtering, it still became public knowledge that there is such an aspect since they were prolific and vocal in bragging about their ideology. Once polls went negative, roll ups of the total cost to the American public, and even new multi billion dollar aid packages to Ukraine are hardly mentioned.
Of course our government as usual uses the idea of “secrecy” to hide information that is derogatory but knows to be factual. Not sure who they are hiding this information from, since the Russians and Ukrainians all know this. Wait, maybe we the public are the ones that need to stay dumb so that decision makers can do what they want without that pesky informed public!
This guy is going to prison and is a felon, but in reality he only informed the American public of what is true while their government and MSM is pulling the wool over their eyes: https://www.reuters.com/world/us/pentagon-leaker-teixeira-faces-sentencing-us-seeks-17-year-prison-term-2024-11-12/#:~:text=BOSTON%2C%20Nov%2012%20(Reuters),to%20Russia‘s%20invasion%20of%20Ukraine.
Fact: the Russians in many, if not most cases, can tell you down to the individuals name, age, citizenship and place of birth regards who has been killed, even on the Ukrainian side. They know where the Ukrainian forces are generally located, what the composition and disposition of these units are... There was actually (((nothing))) in this leak that was a surprise to the Russians (not at the top level view that this document had).
Ukraine, Covid, J6... show there is something fundamentally wrong in our ability to access information.
Between media conglomerates that are all politically aligned, mass censorship by government in what is available from abroad as well as social media filtering, a monopolistic big tech with ties to the IC (Google is a NSA/CIA child)... there is no free flow of information. You get told what some people want you to know/believe. In those areas where their is consensus (political), information is “managed.”
We live in an Orwellian time.
“Russia used this new ICBM non-nuclear weapon for the first time,”
Not an ICBM.
1”The same fate will shared by the USA.”
Do you still stand with your agreeing that the US will fall by 2026?
