  2. He is describing what all parties some earlier than others (Russia 1917) but all come to having millions making nothing and needing everything. That proved a war economy, to be not sustainable.

  4. Atlantic council- Soros -Chances are, if you live in any large city in America, George Soros owns your District Attorney. This is why DAs obediently satisfy their Sugar Daddy Soros’ plan to keep liberal demonstrators, drug gang members, Jussie Smollett type celebrities, and local corrupt politicians out of jail.

  5. At the state level, far-left radical beneficiaries of the George Soros “Secretary of State Project,” the American non-profit, progressive 527 political action committee, focused on electing “reform-minded progressive” Secretaries of State in battleground states. These offices typically oversee the election process in their state–thus, the 2020 election fiasco. The Project is funded by Soros and members of the Democracy Alliance.

  7. There is no time in history where the people who were censoring speech were the good guys. They're always the bad guys because, of course, that is the first and last step of totalitarianism: silencing critics.” — Robert Kennedy

  10. U.S. House Speaker Mike Johnson said on Friday that he is not eager to approve further funding for Ukraine and instead hopes that Donald Trump can end the conflict if he retakes the White House: “I don’t have an appetite for further Ukraine funding, and I hope it’s not necessary. If President Trump wins, I believe that he can actually bring that conflict to a close. I really do,” Johnson said in an interview with Punchbowl News.

    People around the world are weary of the conflict in Ukraine and want it resolved, Johnson said.

  13. He's backing up everything I have been able to glean from sources on the subject of Russia's economy. The Ruble has been dropping in value month on month since the beginning of 2024 and is now at 97.6 against the Dollar. It's literally not worth the paper it's printed on .

  14. Yes, @michaelhealy, that was one of the best interviews on the war I've watched. Excellent questions of a truly informed man whose job it is/has been to analyze those two countries in particular. Good job, TR!

  18. Russia is entering economic stagflation and it's extremely difficult to get out of. Not only will they be forced to withdraw from the war, but their economy will be decimated for the forseeable future. The Ukraine War is the worst mistake they've made in our lifetimes. Once Harris wins the election, Putin will truly begin to feel trapped.

  21. Hmmm…….I'm not so impressed. He touts the economic sanctions, then one sentence later he says the Russian shops are full. Also, I fear that he is too hopeful that Russia will go broke; but that's a separate issue from the main problem; Putin will sacrifice his entire population to the front line; and they willingly go, unless they have a computer engineering degree. Too rosy a picture. The West in not doing enough for Ukraine.

  23. Only 40 billion liquid money left? Dollar/Rubel 1 to 100 and more than 19% interest rate?
    Ordinary Russians still don't feel anything about this war? Only a lack of electricity could cause these people to have serious questions? Still questions?!

  26. Just imagine how much better off Russia would be if they had not attacked Ukraine in 2014 at all. No Violence, death, destruction. Financially better off and would not be the world pariah, most hated country. Any chance now of befriending Ukraine is Decades away.

    It would appear Putin is so neurotic he thinks he just needs to refer to his Nuclear weapons and we will all be terrified. If there is a Nuclear conflagration or if Russian is going to continue invading other countries taking us to the risk of Nuclear Conflagration …… The end result is the same. So lets get on with it.

  31. We’ve been hearing the so called experts telling us the Russians are running out of equipment, their economy has collapsed, Putin days are numbered ,blah blah blah since 2023 and yet some how the war continues , Putin remains in power etc…. Reality is the experts have no idea, they are just spouting ideas as facts.

  33. I was enjoying this interview up to the 16 minute mark when he said that Putin was Trump‘s good friend. I don’t know why he said that he has no evidence nor did he present any which shows he has the left-wing mind virus and by the way, does he remember the 200 Russian soldiers that Trump had killed in Syria when they were threatening our soldiers, has Biden done anything like that?

  34. Can someone please hack the audio systems in Trump's plane and mansions and play right that there?
    As well the one of Scholz?
    Excellent questioning as well – by the way.
    Thank you!

  36. So if Russia is facing economic collapse due to sanctions, if it repents the sanctions are going to be lifted? What about the stolen assets are they going to be re-inbursed? Who is going to rebuilt Ukraine and help to suppress all those millions of Russians remaining there?
    Sounds like Russia should do what it's doing, because the alternative is to become Ukraine.
