“[Davos] have actual disgust for elected governments because you see elected governments make mistakes in their view. They elect people and then they do the wrong thing. They have these 19th century borders. They believe in legal-only immigration. They don't believe in redistribution of money. They believe in free market capitalism. They are opposed to diversity, equity, and inclusion. And they don't want to put mandates on corporations—ESG, about the environment and social questions and governance questions.”
“When the EU was created, its GDP was almost—25 years ago—the same as the United States. And then it started to implement these Davos-like, issues and laws and policy, and now it has almost a little more than half the GDP of the United States, and only about 60% of the per capita income.” For Victor's latest thoughts, go to: https://victorhanson.com/

Why Davos AND THE LEFT Hates Trump — And FREEDOM...
Original name of the WEF was the European Management Forum, FTR. A gathering of underground national socialists seeking to do by economic warfare what the Schicklgruber regime could not do by warfare.

Love VDH.
Don’t watch videos.
But, what don't you understand about the fact that it is the Davos crowd behind everything that has happened in Ukraine?
These rich, globalist a-holes are the ones that are driving wars, color revolutions and foreign policy for profit.
Can we go back to “pluralism”, please? We don’t want a democracy.
All teed up for a great Prof Hanson ping!

Time for a President to go to Davos and say this is the last time we are going there. He should announce that any American attending will be denied a security clearance or any government job. Also, not a penny of US government money will go to them.
Fake Tsar Mad Vlad Putin and hapless clowns Roooski army invaded Ukraine, to take control of Ukraine's oil and gas reserves. This is simple thievery, that WEF had at most 10% involvement in. Putin also wanted Ukraine's 45 million Slavs to add to Russia's 105 million Slavs. Under Putin's new USSR. IOW Putin believes that Demography is Destiny.

Now that is a telling statistic right there. Talk about proof in the pudding.
*VDH Bump*
Klaus Schwab’s dad ran a munitions plant for the Nazi war machine.
True.
I think he nails it down.
Trump represents the antithesis of what the Davos crowd represent.
The Russians repeatedly sought peace with Minsk Accords and with a deal struck in Turkey in March of 2022, a deal killed by Boris Johnson.
You're a LIAR and you're defending the corruption foreign policy of Obama and Biden.
If you want to defend Biden and Obama's foreign policy, become a Democrat.
BTW, did you see Trump just suspended military funding for Ukraine? 😀
Sounds a lot like the Fabian Socialists desire communism without war.
What’s cool about Kazan, he believes every lie from Putin. Putin’s Russia invaded Ukraine in 2014 and 2022.....end of story.
Ukraine never invaded Russia.
No nation ever wants to be under Russian control. Go ask Poland, Estonia, Latvia, Finland, Czechoslovakia, Ukraine and so on.
Wake up from that Wadka hankover, and see the clarity of hindsight. Russia is looking out for themselves, WEF, UN and NATO are the problem.
