Russia did extremely well economically compared to Britain, which now begs the question, who is sanctioned?, it looks like British people were Sanctioned by their government and Italy, Germany got dragged on the streets by the US.
@@Natalya.57.Volkova 👍 Thanks for one of the rare comments of somebody who enjoys more information than msm!
Yes. Become Necon masters in Washington DC rule EU.
I bow to the smartest people in US politics who played Europeans so well. I am planning to go to ГУМ and ЦУМ next week (Russian Selfridges and Harrods) to check if US brands are still there. All European brands left the market but US brands stayed last time I checked. It is fascinating.
Always wondered why Italy always chose wrong sides! Last time there, 2018 after 10 yrs. absence, couldn't recognize its population; seemed morphed into Americans speaking Italian. What a shame!
@@letranger6750 italy chose always the wrong side because population is with the nazi Russian exactly like they were with the nazi germans 80 years ago
If you visit Moscow or St. Petersburg you find Italian stores every where. Russians love the Italian style . And its an historic love affair. Russians don't like North European or American drab clothing etc styles .
And Italian cafes and restaurants are at every step in Moscow.

'' It is better to be a warrior in a garden than a gardener in a war ''
Looks informative qoute, explain pls.
Some people are not cut out for war.
Myself as a carpenter I don't want to hurt anyone and when you see who the people are who instigate wars they are corrupt psychopaths who don't care at all about even their own people who they send into hell on earth.
When the Western media publish what is going on in Ukraine they are not telling you the whole truth.
or maybe its better to be a live dog then a dead lion?
Like in Iraq, Vietnam,Grenada,Palestina?
It is better to be a gardener in a garden, than a warrior in a war. Being in a war is never better.
I was in logistics business from 2014 till 2022 and, as you may guess, our company was focused dominantly on transportations from Russian to Italy and backwords. These 8 years were full of good and bad things, but 24-02-2022 was a REAL blow to the industry. Now companies in Russia are trying to reorganise transportations via Turkey, but it's too long and expensive way and lots of goods are under sanctions.
We all are living in tough times, but I hope and believe we wil restore our business sooner or later .
Grazie, Italia. Ti amo e tutto andrà bene!

I have been monitoring the movement of BTC over 6 years and I can say it is incredible. I sold a couple properties in March and I'm waiting for a house crash to happen so I buy cheap. In the meanwhile, I've been looking at stocks as an alternative, any idea if it's a good time to buy?
@@EndriLoshi-mt5hj CLAUDIA FRADE FERREIRA is totally the investment adviser that specializes in portfolio creation and management..I highly recommend her especially if you have up to $200k for aggressive trading
Here is a straight answer from a Russian: there is no alternative to BTC at this moment except some other crypto projects. Sorry, I am not familiar with the Italian stock market, but there will be a big discounts in the American market in the next 10-20 years. As for today, it is kind of obvious that sinking US banks are your easiest choice, but choose wisely, not all of them will be saved by JP Morgan or by American Goverment & other institutions.
We Russians love Italians, we love your design and architecture, your rich culture, your fantastic composers. We love Antonio Vivaldi and Nicolo Paganini. Italians are one of the most creative nations on Earth. And Italian singers are definitely the best in the world. I am a born Muscovite but I have many friends in Italy. And Italian artists and painters are absolutely unbeatable. Who can even compare with Leonardo, Michelangelo, Rafael or Caravaggio and Boticelli. Unrivaled! And long live La Scala! Belissimo!
I from Europe I just disappointed that Russia still relay on Putin that man not strong anymore he getting old also he try to sell Russia to China
We Italians love Russians, we love your Country - a wide scope for dreams and for life. When we came to St Petersburg or Moscow or anywhere else in Russia we simply feel at home. The decisions of our present government don't reflect the will and the feelings of the overwheming majority of Italians. And this is not a matter of "business and money", it's something deeper.

Italy is growing more than the UK.
According to the IMF, Italy is the only country that will have slower growth than the UK in 2023. Italy, though, has always been a financial disaster of a country due to endemic corruption, organised crime and other factors, with high unemployment (especially youth unemployment), eye watering taxation and needless bureaucracy.
Italy had a brief resurgence after WW2, but since then they have been one of the most financially and politically unstable countries in Europe.
The general feeling is that the UK will recover in the medium term, as it usually does, but Italy will follow along it's usual path.
I always compare Italy to a business that has a high turnover, but always trades at a loss.
Also, energy and food prices are higher in Italy than in the UK, and have been so for a number of years.
@@monacophotographyevents2384lot of nonsense.
Italy is the second industrial power in Europe after Germany:
Here’s a look at manufacturing by country 2023, focusing on the world’s top ten manufacturing countries and what they contribute to the global manufacturing economy:
China - 28.4%
United States - 16.6%
Japan - 7.2%
Germany - 5.8%
India - 3.3%
South Korea - 3.0%
Italy - 2.3%
France - 1.9%
United Kingdom - 1.8%
Mexico - 1.5%
Italy produces niche industrial goods / machinery which are not produced by other countries. This is other than the kuxury goods .
we are more likely to see made in Germany or China, or even France before we see anything come from the low-key fascist country.
Italy is a poor country. It has great nature, great sight seeing places, very nice people, but it totally depends on influx of visitors. Cheap Europeans never spent as much money in Italy as Russians. Ordinary Italian people were already living very modestly, but they will become really poor soon.
@@lolas1669 if Italy is a poor country, why is it in the G7?
@@lolas1669 The economy of Italy is a highly developed social market economy.[26] It is the third-largest national economy in the European Union, the 8th-largest in the world by nominal GDP, and the 12th-largest by GDP (PPP). Italy is a founding member of the European Union, the Eurozone, the OECD, the G7 and the G20;[27] it is the eighth-largest exporter in the world, with $611 billion exported in 2021. Its closest trade ties are with the other countries of the European Union, with whom it conducts about 59% of its total trade. The largest trading partners, in order of market share in exports, are Germany (12.5%), France (10.3%), the United States (9%), Spain (5.2%), the United Kingdom (5.2%) and Switzerland (4.6%).[28]
In the post-World War II period, Italy saw a transformation from an agricultural based economy which had been severely affected by the consequences of the World Wars, into one of the world's most advanced nations,[29] and a leading country in world trade and exports. According to the Human Development Index, the country enjoys a very high standard of living. According to The Economist, Italy has the world's 8th highest quality of life.[30] Italy owns the world's third-largest gold reserve,[31] and is the third-largest net contributor to the budget of the European Union. Furthermore, the advanced country private wealth is one of the largest in the world.[32] In terms of private wealth, Italy ranks second, after Hong Kong, in private wealth to GDP ratio.
Italy is the world's seventh-largest manufacturing country,[33] characterised by a smaller number of global multinational corporations than other economies of comparable size and many dynamic small and medium-sized enterprises, notoriously clustered in several industrial districts, which are the backbone of the Italian industry. Italy is a large manufacturer[34] and exporter[35] of a significant variety of products. Its products include machinery, vehicles, pharmaceuticals, furniture, food and clothing.[36] Italy has therefore a significant trade surplus. The country is also well known for its influential and innovative business economic sector, an industrious and competitive agricultural sector (Italy is the world's largest wine producer),[37] and manufacturers of creatively designed, high-quality products: including automobiles, ships, home appliances, and designer clothing. Italy is the largest hub for luxury goods in Europe and the third luxury hub globally.[38][39] The Italian manufacturing sector is capable of facing the competition from China and other emerging Asian economies based on lower labour costs, with higher quality products.[40] Italy has a strong cooperative sector, with the largest share of the population (4.5%) employed by a cooperative in the EU.[41]
It’s northern Italy that is suffering; the south has been suffering for decades. Perhaps there might be a new social contract between the two?

I'm wondering if folks who went through the 2008 financial crisis had it easier than me right now. The market conditions these days are really causing me a lot of stress, with my portfolio taking some big hits over the past few months and my profits dwindling. I'm worried that this could put a wrench in my retirement plans, since I can't seem to boost my stagnant reserves.
Even in this whirlwind, there are chances to be had, thus an increase in volatility is not always a bad thing. You have an opportunity to rebalance thanks to volatility. In order to help you diversify your portfolio, you must hire a financial counselor or broker.

The problem with Europe is, they have now turned into the Americans colonies - doing the biddings of Washington without asking questions or even trying to understand what the actions they take means to their wellbeing.
Mate that s what happens when you lose Waterloo. It is not really a choice. But ok we could at least mske a subtle effort or take the risk to be ourselves occasionally.
It's pathetic, Europe is much bigger than the US, yet they bend over backwards for them.
The problem with underdeveloped countries in Asia and Africa is that they are being shackled to their new master's yoke from China and Russia.
@MSD Group Russia was the worlds biggest weapon supplier for decades to fellow dictators and terrorists. Besides Kalashnikovs and RPGs they have shown very little success on the battlefield, except spectacular tank fireworks. Who wants to buy that?

Up until 10 to 15 years ago Italians could afford to buy these luxury items until they could no more due to post 2008 financial crisis EU decisions, in Italy such decisions impoverished the population drastically lowering their purchasing power. Now Italians can't afford to buy locally made goods, they now go to H&M.
when italian cant even afford to buy product they made, just means those industry just not sustainable in the long run. relying on one to two external market to proc u up, good for the past globalized world. but the world we heading into, not so much.

I am from Vietnam and my country nearly went to starvation due to US sanction back in 1980s.
@@joaocosta3374 "one among many"
But one of the most important.
Abandoning Russia was not in the interest of the European people that had their lives seriously affected by inflation, deindustrialization and unemployment for a fight created by America's desire to encircle Russia with troops, military bases and offensive military hardware to threaten the Russian state.
Europeans did not need that, the world did not need that.
Acute subservience to Washington is hurting Europe bad.
Now that Washington has knocked Europe out of the way as competition Americans can concentrate on China.
If that is not shooting their own foot with high caliber guns I don't know what it is!
Cold-trurkey on Russian energy was an excellent move by Europe BECAUSE Russia was using energy as a weapon. No more ! Sure energy prices were tough but being TOTALLY dependent , especially after NorthStream2 would have been strategically catastrophic.

is it normal that a company who make goods for any rich customer around the globe, with 7 generation of workers, in only 15 years start relying from 0% to 25% from a single market? On the other hand in Italy we do have a huge problem with internal market and purchasing power. From decades good brands (expecially luxury) needed to make their profits outside ITA.
Only mafia makes money in Italie!
in a healthy democratic society you usually don't have enough super rich to sell enough handbags that cost several thousand Euros. Middle class people don't buy such products. This kind of business only works with customers from the most undemocratic, unequal, ugly societies: Russian oligarchs, Chinese billionaires, Arabic oil sheiks, Brazilian cattle barons, African dictators, etc.
No reasonable German factory owner would allow his wife or mistress to buy a handbag for several thousand Euros.
I am old enough to remember that in the 1980s when the USA diminished trade to punish New Zealand for not allowing its warships with nuclear vessels into New Zealand waters. New Zealand scrambled for new business partners, first Japan and then New Zealand was the first country to have a free trade agreement with China. Countries and companies have to adapt for the money and business opportunities. Now New Zealand is so heavily reliant on trade with China how do you think this will affect their political positions? Home goal for USA again.

Not just luxury. More widely "high quality" brands. Tyres for instance, are not luxury goods, but Pirelli is arguably the best producer of sport tyres in the world (and also has done the main invention on submarine wires, a cornerstone of modern civilization) Due to ancient culture and literacy, Italy has been ever at the edge of innovation, and at the centre of knowledge. Of course being a winner helps winning. Money calls money. Culture calls culture. Not a surprise we are writing each other with the italian types and letters.

For the artisan luxury goods company in the beginning and the end of the video, it really should move the business to Russia given how important that market is to the existence of itself. They want to cater to the Russian taste but not the European one. If they move the entire business to Russia not only do they get to keep the business running, their Russian-oriented artisan know-how get to be preserved there. Win-win, no?
This would miss the point of country of origin effect. The status of these goods is their “made in Italy”. Furthermore it would lead to losses in other markets as online backlash. Lose-lose.
Honestly, we would be more than happy to accept Italian artisans here. We like Italian design. Even the architecture of the Kremlin itself was made by Italian architect.
They can sell to the Russian market in Dubai and other places where sanctions are not there, Whats to stop wealthy Russians buy their good there and taking it back home, whether it's a Ferrari or a Rolex
They would move there if they could find the quality of tissues, leathers etc. readily available in Russia as is in Italy
There's no russian taste involved here. No russian designer send sketches to italian manufactory. Rich people hunt italian fashion, exactly for that. To show off with italian design. Middle class russians buy from chain brand stores, to follow the trend of international fashion. Poor people buy cheap chinese made goods.
If Meloni could just keep her promises!!
why should she? it so obvious she is following her what EU and mainly the US is ordering her, with the backlash if she doesnt, comply for italian goods (cars, cloting etc.) that will sanctoined.

Most of the western clothes was both overpriced, had pretty mediocre quality and was looking very plain. And then I've bumped into Italian shop. Paid twice as much but that tuxedo serves me well and looks exactly the same as in the shop. By the way this shop is still in there. 😂

Man, you're loving that russian Imperialist aggression!
Italy (read- the rich North) is still an export powerhouse, but in a global context its competitive advantages are diminishing. It isn't keeping up in terms of producing high value-added goods, particularly in technology and this will pose an increasing problem as time goes on. The Milan producer is absolutely correct that the country faces losing its artisan brilliance- this has been an open discussion for 20 years. But it won't be because of Russia. It will be the result of continued poor governance and a persistent lack of strategic vision. That is where Italy fails time and time again. It's almost like the unification never happened.
Italy was not “dependent” on Russian energy but BENEFICIARY of great relationships with great country

You should have thought about it before. Now, it's too late.😅
Anne Kamin's comments sound so State Department.
See this is the problem I don't think people think about. I hear so many people say: "If this war ends, we can go back to trading like normal" (which is also why I think many adopted the policy of supporting Ukraine and is also have so much inpatients come up when it comes to the war), but that is delusional thinking.
1stly the US wouldn't allow trading with Russia to continue so best make other plans (mainly because they want Europe to not be reliant on Russia and more importantly right now, they're getting that LNG money that Russia would've gotten and basically trying to replace them and good luck saying no to someone with military bases all over Europe and probably your own country and to whom you've made yourself economically dependent on as well).
Russia has already for the most part been selling all it can to its BRICS partners and everyone else the US doesn't like (long list and growing) and in fact have been making deals to build infrastructure to increase that capacity, so that means Europe needs to be doing the same.
So, Europe best hope and work towards selling its goods to other markets, ie let's hope the US steps in and buys all these Italian goods. My country sure as hell won't step in and pay for the US' mistakes.
@@Ragtags My family came from Germany, but I do not live in Germany or hold German citizenship, nor can I speak German.
So, my take is very much an outside take of what is happening in Europe (and it is very much my take, ie an average person speaking out in this thing called democracy and is one voice in a crowd of many others that probably don't agree, and I get that).
I do however get a wide variety of news sources (from the most pro-Western, to pro-Russian, to the more neutral takes from people who don't have a horse in this race) and I'm also pretty much a student of history and I try to apply, maybe wrongly or rightly, an historical lens on things.
So, when it comes to sanctions, coercion by larger more powerful states over smaller states and proxy warfare I know the US and Russia / Soviet Union are very guilty on both counts. And as you know criminals are bound to reoffend, like we see playout in front of our very eyes.
So as far as Putin goes, I believe a leader reflects pretty much the country of which they are from (or I should at least say the ruling majority). Like Jordan Peterson said (and sure many things he says at times I don't agree with, but he was very much correct when saying this about Germany during WW2): "Acting out the dark desire of the mob".
I personally see Putin exactly the same as every other Russian leader that came before; a brutal iron-fist leader that is the only way to keep a country like Russia together. A free and open Russia would look like the one during the 90's (Boris Yeltsin saw that with places like Chechnya and had to send in the army to stop more parts breaking away).
In other words, Russia can't exist without such a leader and that comes down to the question should Russia exist? That is not for me to say, but I will say I'm grateful for all the sacrifices they made during WW2 and only a people as hardcore and brutal as them could've done what they've did and for that I am respectful.
(EDIT: Oh, and one thing when you think about, if the US ever turned dark or much more dark than it is right now than a country like Russia was the only check and balance to it and I think the US wants to remove countries like Russia or at least break them into weaker, much more manageable countries and I guess in your mind that is fine as long as the US is democratic, but what if one they aren't anymore?)
(You know it might be hard for people to understand, but enforcing your way of life on others are also wrong. Not everyone holds your beliefs systems and hold true and value the same ideals)
I think the word "bear" is very apt and describes what it is like having Russia at a seat of the UN. Wild and unpredictable, but does that mean we need to kill all bears?
I'd say be A - respectful, but B - firm. Two things I don't think Western nations failed have done really well and it's a really difficult balancing act. As Augustus said about keeping the Roman empire together; "like grabbing and keeping a bull by the horns".
As a final note if you believe the end of the cold war was a good thing, well that has pretty much now been reversed and I think it was horribly mismanaged.
Sure, you can say Russia wanted to join the EU and was told it was too big to join (as stated by Romano Prodi) and it wanted to join NATO (as said by Ex-NATO head George Robertson) and was told it can't so this friendship with Russia was setup to fail.
You can't hand out guns in a crowd of people and say they're for everyone's safety, while also not giving guns to a certain individual, while also having all the guns trained on that individual and expect good relations.
And then trying to shift the blame like Stoltenberg did, trying to say "NATO expansion is Russia's fault" when NATO has been slowly expanding on 12 March 1999, 29 March 2004 and 1 April 2009 (and all this long before Russia invaded Ukraine). It is an utter lie.
So, I see Putin coming to power as a result of things that, but not only that. Just like during WW2 Germany brought to power that other individual.
Simply a dark reflection of its society and in both cases, there is enough support to keep them there. If they had really no support by a single person, then they wouldn't have come to power or stayed there.
Ask yourself in both cases what lead to them coming to power and then even more what lead them on their respective dark paths.
Sorry, long answer but not an easy question as most Western media tries to portray it.
@@Ragtags Haha, I actually typed that myself. If there is an afterlife and we meet up one day I'd like to point you to that moment 😅
Again, another instance of someone believing something to be true that I know isn't true. For me to jump on board you train of thought now, I'd have to lie to myself and tell myself I typed that via AI. And so how are you supposed to "convert" (for the lack of a better word) people to your way of thinking? If what they're saying you dismiss as a falsehood and then project your own closed minded world view on it?
I will agree however that was the more "pro-Russian" take, but also have no idea how I can be "pro-Russian" if I call Putin and iron-fist dictator or say Russia can't exist if people were free and open (ie they would start to call for independence in many places). I've also said in many cases the war is wrong and shouldn't have happened, but I also don't think NATO is free from blame here.
I take it in your mind being neutral is to say: "Russia is wrong, period" . . . Honestly, how is that more neutral?
In fact, I wouldn't mind hearing a neutral take from you if you don't mind.
So, what in your mind would be a neutral take? If you don't have one then maybe you have the problem, not me.
EDIT: Oh, another thing, maybe you see that "not very concise" and "are all over the place" or better yet "I've never met an actual person that talks the way you are right now" is because I get my news from many different sources and don't just swallow what the news media push down my throat.
Honestly, before my comment have you ever heard anywhere or from anyone the fac that Russia wanted to join NATO or was told it was "too big" to join the EU?
Or the fact that Putin was the 1st person to call George Bush after the terror attacks in 2001 or the fact that he then was willing to allow US troops into central ASIA? (doesn't sound like someone who doesn't want US troops in or close to Russia way back then, wonder what might have happened . . .)
All of them are real facts and look at it if you don't believe me.
@@Ragtags No problem! I appreciate a full lengthy reply! Hope you're doing well in New Zealand!
Happy Anzac Day!
That is the beautiful thing about democracy and free speech, ie being able to say what you think (even if we don't agree) and that is the thing many claim to be fighting for, although that is a dodgy subject for another time.
Like the US being fine with Saudi Arabia invading Yemen or itself waging an illegal war against Iraq that also weren't approved by the UN and I do feel that "what-about-ism" is necessary because how can we be critical of bad behavior if it is allowed by others? That do as I say, not as I do is just utter nonsense. It cannot only apply if your side aren't the ones doing it.
I think the phrase "what-about-ism" was made to try ad justification for bad behavior, or at least try and glance over it. It will definitely not make me go: "Ah, they've got a phrase for it, so I definitely should not be doing it." Far from it, it makes me want to do it even more, haha.
And sure, maybe my approach to the economics of this war is done through a historical / political lens as you say, but it is mainly because the pains / sanctions of this war is brining on through the politics.
No one is refusing to trade with Russia purely for economic reasons. It is because of political reasons being the driving factor (the sanctions imposed on Turkey for buying the Russian S-400 could almost be more seen as economic, ie the US industrial military complex want NATO members to buy from NATO members or more importantly the US itself).
As far as the economics of this war I'd say due to political pressures, the world is forming into camps. Authoritarian on the one side definitely.
Further than that, I mean the Soviets had pretty much full control of foreign goods being sold within its borders, if any (as do China) and I think also the Russian government wanted to go back to that (mainly because of capital outflows and inflows, really great video done of that subject over here -> ua-cam.com/video/nfyM81sEXhs/v-deo.html )
I think if the Russian government just took away their Western shiny goods, it would've upset the people, but if the West took it away by themselves, the government can frame it as "it is not us, it is the West taking it away".
And now Russia is keeping that money within its borders (or really within BRICS' borders, Western money flowing in and not really out) and have basically even seized foreign assets like MacDonalds and made a new knock-off brand. Very much a China move and now like China the money stays within its country as well as (and this is key) foreign influences.
All this is economics driven by geopolitics and more and more I see Russia embracing it and these Western countries like Italy and Germany being blind to it. I've had a German friend of mine say: "If we can just end this war, then the energy crisis would be solved." How'd you recon that? Just go on trading like normal? No war crime trials or the rest of it? I really doubt "just ending the war" would solve anything in that regard.
Not only that, but Russia is also the number 1 exporter of wheat. Also, a fact you don't hear Western governments tout all that much (Russia partially halted their own wheat export due to sanctions). Ukraine is only number 5. The data is there for anyone to see:
Top 15 Wheat Exporters by Country
Russia: US$7.3 billion (13.1% of total wheat exports)
United States: $7.29 billion (13.1%)
Australia: $7.2 billion (13%)
Canada: $6.6 billion (11.9%)
Ukraine: $4.7 billion (8.5%)
France: $4.6 billion (8.2%)
Argentina: $3 billion (5.3%)
Germany: $2 billion (3.6%)
I honestly believe globalization is dead at this point and it was killed by the West and the more anti-Western elements within Russia and China is jumping on it. Basically: "We always wanted Western brands, ie Western franchises, Hollywood, Western cars (now Haval and Lada doesn't have to compete within their respective markets with Western ones), etc and are also free from Western influences".
And let's be honest, I think both sides of the fence's economies are being hurt, probably Russia and China's even more so, but I think to entrench themselves they're willing to hurt their economies.
That is why I harken back to politics, because it definitely drives economic policy.

The problem for European companies and industries that for a long time supplied their products to Russian consumers, and that today see their exports to Russia blocked due to sanctions, is that the demand in Russia for these products continues, and unfortunately for European suppliers, the Russian authorities have found it necessary to encourage the domestic production of many of these goods, with the advantage for the Russian government, that while they are able to meet their needs, more jobs are created, and currency in euros or dollars that previously had to be used to import these goods is also saved, which translates into an increase in the value of the ruble. As the domestic production of previously imported goods solidifies and grows within the Russian economy, I believe that it will be more difficult for European industries and companies, such as Italy, to recover the Russian market. Of course, for companies that sell exclusive, luxury, or very elaborate goods like those of the Leu Locati firm, recovering the Russian market after the end of the war in Ukraine, I understand that it should be relatively easy.

@@marioscalzi493 "garbage" also kills people, and Russia is learning we are NOT reliable as we'll obey any order from Washington even if that order harms us
So London Geneva miami and paris lose but Istanbul Qatar Dubai and Israel gain the war is hurting the the eu higher food prices and higher engery prices Indiana and china have there oil exports from opec at mulity decades low
Gain what? These Russians have lost their cash cow, the economy is going to collapse. They can't rob the same things twice.
@Jose Stubbs “so London Geneva miami and paris lose (…)”
Not at all.
Be attentive on precious metals trade statistics on those countries, specially those that have main commodities bourses.
Saw a graph of UK exports and the part of precious metals absolutely shoots up near January 2022
Home goals, Lots of home goals. An accelerated pace towards dedollarisation and a new world trading order. Reminds me of the one child China policy- in that the long term effects for the economy and society were not fully thought through. (or maybe they thought artificial wombs would be ready or total automation but failed to have that ready)
Have heard it said, by those who seem to know, that the CCCP are not strategic thinkers, or deep, or innovative thinkers. They don't see the problems down the line or finding solutions, but are good at outsourcing the blame.
@@cathjj840 The largest weakness of the CCP is understanding human psychology. Many of its own leaders are corrupt + moved wealth abroad under the guise of educating their children as that's one of the few ways to shift wealth. All the increasing numbers of expatriate China mainland people experiencing life in prior to Covid what were democracies will come home to roost. A taste of freedom in a few that then builds, after generations of aristocratic and then communist control.....imagine!
Many other country suffering badly more
Some companies.. it is less than 5% of our total export. I'm sure you can find companies hit hard by Sudan situation if you just look for those. Extremely biased
How can youl compare Russia to Sudan, omg
@@ostricalungimirante I'm just saying that Sudan is such a small country, nonetheless if you look very closely you still can find companies around the world that are struck by the actual local situation and can't export. That was a hyperbole, but you got triggered like a little baby and failed to ignite your neurons. And actually, I respect Sudan way more thant that failed state that Russia is. Now go look some other videos you can understand like Winny the Pooh
Not a Russian invasion, it isa Russian REACTION
Are you for real......study the history especially from 2014......then you'll understand how it's a reaction by Russia to the US hegemony!!
@@dreizdreiz9203
Reaction to all the bullying we've done. Reaction to our hypocracy and condescending behaviour.
We lied and lied all in the name of democracy and human rights.
We rigg elections, prepare coups to topple governments, kill millions and bribe fake news.
You're still wondering why!
@@johnniethefox
I think you watch too much of those fake news. This goes way before but let's see what happened since 2014.
A legaly elected Ukranian government was toppled thanks to the CIA to plant a muppet called zelensky. We behaved with the upmost hypocracy through Minsk agreement. We planted chemical labs, fueled and supported fascists to submit the Russian majority of the Donbas.
Yes you're right, it was a reaction, however for the mentioned above
Molto bene. 🧐
