It never happens as one can just move to a country with a connection and shuts down your system. Within days the entire planet grinds to a halt. Hence the endless game playing will never stop. The thing is it is beyond nonsense to not think the West does not knock out things in Russia every day. Russia simply says nothing as they wish to play their game of superiority in everything. In short according to russia ALL of their sies etc have a perfect firewall keeping others out.
There is a balance to be struck if you want Russians stuck there to be able to find out information from outside. Part of the effective economic stranglehold on Russia is a sustained brain drain, that only continues as long as people understand and seek opportunities outside. Full isolation may strengthen the regime and decrease any inhibitions it has.
@@rjScubaSki I've dealt with ruzzians for decades, both in business and around the world. They just do not think like Westerners want to think they think.
They do much less “messing with our elections” than the current democrat party. Doesn’t matter what country you are in, the US democrat party is working to influence the outcome.
Finally, someone else who understands the true nature of these events... I thought I was goin crazy. Putin never, ever intends to stop. Delay? Maybe. Never stop.
Full agreement. Somebody should stand at the end of every parliament / congress / legislature session in the West and say this like Cato did: Ceterum Censeo, Carthago Delenda Est. "It is my humble opinion that we must end the Russian threat to Europe by insuring the defeat of Putin's imperialist plans and the ruin of his regime"
Has Russia got their tax system up and running yet? Ukraine wiped it along with the backups in December 2023 and sent all the data on it to Kyiv. Did Tatarstan get it's internet and mobile networks up and running again after the recent attack by HUR that occurred on the 3rd of May, 2024 ? What happened after 2 petabytes of data at the Russian Centre for Space Hydrometeorology got wiped in January 2024 and 240 servers linked to it were destroyed?
Russia has been doing this since before 2014. And the West still has not woken up and hit back appropriately. The weakness and appeasement of the West towards Putin in particular is plain for anyone who cares to pay attention. It's like the 1930s all over again. Complaints and accusations about Russia's actions are woefully inadequate.
May be they did it because the West conducted an illegal coup in Ukraine in 2014 that overthrew a democratically elected government there. Then, the Wesr provided the following Bandera puppet regime with every kind of weapon. The West does not have the means to punch back directly now. They ran out of ammunition in their military wisdom in underestimating Russia yet again like Napoleon and Hitler. You guys never learn.
@@dnotleythere An absolute Eden compared to the repression under a Trump-led, right-wing Supreme Court supported, Republican anti-democratic government.
Way earlier. Russia conducted a cyber attack on Estonia in 2007 that almost crippled the country and its government. Today, Estonia is one of the most technologically advanced countries in the world. Russia's neighbors have never stopped being targets of Russia's hybrid attacks. I worry about you guys more, though, because you don't know Russia like its neighbors do and you haven't built as much resilience against it as we have. Finland teaches media criticism in elementary school. Helps to spot vatniks and Kremlin bots.
The weakness of the civilised part of the world, our connected working infrastructure is vulnerable to interruption whereas the Russian one doesn’t really work in the first place.
We wouldnt have to. We can quite literally block all RU traffic if we wanted to. Literally deny packets from certain locations overseas via our PRISM backbones. xD But yeah, then we wouldnt know what they are up to. Most RU government secret work isnt online at all. They still do it via in-person breifcase. Its much more unhackable. ;) Russia is only just now developing a closed military network. Its first generation test was in UA. You saw how that went :D
Enjoy your videos, Joe. Even these that stray from your regular formula. I come here for information that I feel is trustworthy. Be glad to hear anything you have to say on what's going on in the world. Keep it up.
it's all good. short with a few sips of coffee. Topic driven information influences the length of the video. I learned something new and important this morning.
That old bs chestnut of Russian interference, IF it were true, why shouldn't they? After all we are at war with Russia aren't we? If it's not true, the previous claim was proven to be false, we should be ultra cynical of bullshit conditioning to make us compliant to potential catastrophe. It seems MSM is content to rinse and repeat to encourage the gullible in cannon fodder participation.
As much as cyber attacks create mayhem and short-term damage, ultimately governments, companies and individuals will benefit from hardening their IT systems by encrypting data and taking other measures that they should have had in place already. PS - you can't cheap out on cybersecurity. Many incidents could be prevented by following industry standards, patching systems, etc.
Joe, I want to say how much I have appreciated your fact-based, rational approach to financial reporting. That said, I have broad interests and it’s rare that I have the time to devote to more than what can be reported in about 15 minutes. So brevity and economy of reporting is indeed important to me. Your professionalism of reporting is also why I like your work. In this regard, you might give thought to how your set relates or doesn’t relate to your message. In these days formality has given way to a more relaxed dress and environment, but I really found your black dress shirt was a perfect balance. But I wonder how the trees and sculptures relate. The Neon sign is perfect!
I like the short formats, in the evening I'm tired and tend to tune out of the longer videos. This length is perfect. Great video, very educational and I LOVED the ending♥
DavidoSalsero: I wasn't aware of that. I don't watch Eurovision myself but I don't think invites should be extended to Russia for any social or sporting events whilst they are behaving as they do.
Joe, your videos are great and I like the ones that are 20+ minutes as there's always great information in the content. If it ain't broke don't fix it. Thank you Mate ❤
Quick and punchy, Joe. If you do more of these, leave out the cute clip at the end, and keep it focused. But please keep the longer, well referenced posts going, as those really make your channel stand out from the rest. It’s well worth the effort to shake things up and keep it fresh. Last thought, maybe have a post about an economy that’s doing something right? Schadenfreude is definitely a thing, and I enjoy the basket case economy post as well as most of your subscribers, but give us a sight of the sunshine once in a while. Many thanks!
But their output hasn’t been decimated, a few pin prick attacks on refineries have done absolutely nothing, what are you talking about. There’s a big difference between crude oil(Russia’s main export) and refined products like gasoline🤦♂️🤦♂️
@@williamalexander9485 Russia has recorded 60% drop in production in the last year. That is just from sanctions. Add the closures happening now due to refineries closing....even if just for a week, they lose profits AND it costs them money to repair and restart. And russian refined gasoline isnt alowed to be exported anymore under putins orders, due to shortages inside russia. More PROOF russias output have been decimated. Cope harder.
My favorite episodes are those that talk about finances of Russia or any other country(except the USA) . Can you do a deep dive on Argentina finances now? I heard it is in the black for the first time.
I like the short video updates such as this. I can watch these short videos when I have time constraints and wold not otherwise be able to watch the log form viedos. Thanks!
Your presentations are made with high standards. You tell us what you are going to tell us, then you tell us, then you tell us what you told us. Perfect.
Let us not forget that for years the Kremlin stated it had no association with Wagner despite Prigozhin's well documented history with Putin. Then in 2023 Putin himself came out and said that Wagner was paid for by Russia.
I appreciate the information you provided here and I like how it’s broken down so I can relate. My favorite part of your videos has to be the smile worthy content at the end!
russia is just asking for unrestricted cyber warfare at this point and I think they fail to realize that we can do a lot more to them than they can do to us if we go that route.
Why is the West putting up with this nonsense and more?!?! It’s like a known 3rd grade bully being allowed to do as she pleases while teachers look on🤬🇺🇦
I like long versions of your videos. I drive long distances and really enjoy getting in depth explanations of topics. Nothing wrong with short. I just prefer the long ones. Really love “and now something to put a smile on your face”. They always make me smile 😁.
Hi Joe, I love what you do ❤ One question that has made me think is, how much does Russia have in gold reserves and what is their capacity of using it to their advantage industrially to fight the war?
Before I finish watching your video, thank you for bringing this topic to the table! Let me tell you that here in Eastern Europe (PL here), the number and intensity of ru-based cyberattacks have been insane since 2022. Most of which are rarely being made public (or barely). Examples? - The (momentary) shut down of 1000+ wind turbines between Germany and PL a year ago. - "Playing" with train traffic lights in order to potentially cause road accidents. - The GPS jamming of planes across the Baltic region (which I am sure you will address in your video). - Attacks on small and mid-size companies (SMEs)? Daily and by the thousands. If this is not enough, let's look at the ru fake news from websites mimicking actual legit news sources? Also daily. Thanks again.
At this point I'm ok with disconnecting Russia from the rest of the world. No internet. No banking. No trade at all.
Yes we can disconnect them from the Internet.

Maybe the German Chancellor will wake up and take Russia seriously instead of giggling and ignoring the obvious.
Don`t underestimate Scholz, he has already forgotten that Taurus existed in the first place^^
Why should anybody take Russia seriously 😂😂😂????
We will take Russia seriously after a complete overhaul of the political system.

Scholz is at least as compromised by the Russians as Trump. Not likely that Scholz would do anything to anger his Kremlin handlers
Getting real sick of Russia messing with our elections. I'm starting to think Ukraine, Georgia, & Moldova should get more foreign aid packages.
We have met the enemy, and he is us. - Pogo
They do much less “messing with our elections” than the current democrat party. Doesn’t matter what country you are in, the US democrat party is working to influence the outcome.
they should send the uk some money ?
Russia are guilty of many things but not election interference, the reason Clinton lost is because she is a despicable person
EU and Nato's hesitancy to fully deal with Russia is the most dangerous thing in this conflict 😪😪
