So spreading misinformation is buisness now
This is utter garbage, we have heard piles of manure like him say that russia invading ukraine is total nonsense... yet here we are!
Love it how he spreads lies:
1 - nato expended the expendable stock! Almost no country in nato spent more than what the military does not need in case of war with very few exceptions like estonia and lithuania.
2- russia spends 40% of its total budget on military the usa spends 12% and it did not increase, other countries barely went to the agreed upon level of 2% of gdp, the only country that went ballistic with military spending is poland
3 - it is utter nonsense to say that the civillian industry does not profit off of war, who the f builds the weapons you pile of fertilizer?? The weapons are built in europe and usa and they hire civillians to build them.
4 - putin is an irrational leader, he attacked ukraine thinking that they will be wellcomed for some odd reason.
5 - there is a reason to it all, putin an immature manlet got his dreams crushed when the ussr collapsed and he swore revenge for it! He never got over it and if you would have read what he wrote about it and what he answered in various interviews you'd know he is an emotionally stunted manchild much like hitler and stalin were before him.
6 - one huge mistake was to allow putin to be in power for 20 years! If he would have been gone after 2 terms as the constitution calls for none of this bullcrap would be happening and he would just be a crazy cook in the russian duma screaming all day long...
But yeah it takes spine to tell the truth...

The House Of Rothschild
Posted on 09/15/2017 | Leave a comment
(Excerpted from Chapter 19: The Eight Families: Big Oil & Their Bankers…)
The Rothschild family combined with the Dutch House of Orange to found Bank of Amsterdam in the early 1600’s as the world’s first central bank.
Prince William of Orange married into the English House of Windsor, taking King James II’s daughter Mary as his bride. The Orange Order Brotherhood, which has recently fomented Northern Ireland Protestant violence, put William III on the English throne where he ruled both Holland and Britain. In 1694 William III teamed up with the Rothschilds to launch the Bank of England.
The Old Lady of Threadneedle Street- as the Bank of England is known- is surrounded by thirty foot walls. Three floors beneath it the third largest stock of gold bullion in the world is stored. [842] The daily London gold “fixing” occurs at the N. M. Rothschild Bank. As Bank of England Deputy Governor George Blunden put it, “Fear is what makes the bank’s powers so acceptable. The bank is able to exert its influence when people are dependent on us and fear losing their privileges or when they are frightened.”[843]
Mayer Amschel Rothschild sold the British government German Hessian mercenaries to fight against American Revolutionaries, diverting the proceeds to his brother Nathan in London, where N.M. (Nathan and Mayer) Rothschild & Sons was established. Mayer was a serious student of Cabala and launched his fortune on money embezzled from William IX- royal administrator of the Hesse-Kassel region and a prominent Freemason.
Rothschild-controlled Barings bankrolled the Chinese opium and African slave trades. It financed the Louisiana Purchase. When several states defaulted on its loans, Barings bribed Daniel Webster to make speeches stressing the virtues of loan repayment. The states held their ground, so the House of Rothschild cut off the money spigot in 1842, plunging the US into a deep depression. It was often said that the wealth of the Rothschilds depended on the bankruptcy of nations. Mayer Amschel Rothschild once said, “I care not who controls a nation’s political affairs, so long as I control her currency”.
War didn’t hurt the family fortune either. The House of Rothschild financed the Prussian War, the Crimean War and the British attempt to seize the Suez Canal from the French. Nathan Rothschild made a huge financial bet on Napoleon at the Battle of Waterloo, while also funding the Duke of Wellington’s peninsular campaign against Napoleon. Both the Mexican War and the Civil War were goldmines for the family.
A Rothschild family biography mentions a London meeting where an “International Banking Syndicate” decided to pit the American North against the South as part of a “divide and conquer” strategy. German Chancellor Otto von Bismarck once stated, “The division of the United States into federations of equal force was decided long before the Civil War. These bankers were afraid that the United States…would upset their financial domination over the world. The voice of the Rothschilds prevailed.”
Rothschild biographer Derek Wilson says the family was the official European banker to the US government and strong supporters of the Bank of the United States. [844] Family biographer Niall Ferguson notes a “substantial and unexplained gap” in private Rothschild correspondence between 1854-1860. He says all copies of outgoing letters written by the London Rothschilds during this Civil War period “were destroyed at the orders of successive partners”. [845]
French and British troops had, at the height of the Civil War, encircled the US. The British sent 11,000 troops to Crown-controlled Canada, which gave safe harbor to Confederate agents. France’s Napoleon III installed Austrian Hapsburg family member Archduke Maximilian as his puppet emperor in Mexico, where French troops massed on the Texas border. Only an 11th-hour deployment of two Russian warship fleets by US ally Czar Alexander II in 1863 saved the United States from re-colonization. [846] That same year the Chicago Tribune blasted, “Belmont (August Belmont was a US Rothschild agent and had a Triple Crown horse race named in his honor) and the Rothschilds…who have been buying up Confederate war bonds.”
Salmon Rothschild said of a deceased President Lincoln, “He rejects all forms of compromise. He has the appearance of a peasant and can only tell barroom stories.” Baron Jacob Rothschild was equally flattering towards the US citizenry. He once commented to US Minister to Belgium Henry Sanford on the over half a million Americans who died during the Civil War, “When your patient is desperately sick, you try desperate measures, even to bloodletting.” Salmon and Jacob were merely carrying forth a family tradition. A few generations earlier Mayer Amschel Rothschild bragged of his investment strategy, “When the streets of Paris are running in blood, I buy”.
Mayer Rothschild’s sons were known as the Frankfurt Five. The eldest- Amschel- ran the family’s Frankfurt bank with his father, while Nathan ran London operations. Youngest son Jacob set up shop in Paris, while Salomon ran the Vienna branch and Karl was off to Naples. Author Frederick Morton estimates that by 1850 the Rothschilds were worth over $10 billion. [847] Some researchers believe that their fortune today exceeds $100 trillion.
The Warburgs, Kuhn Loebs, Goldman Sachs, Schiffs and Rothschilds have intermarried into one big happy banking family. The Warburg family- which controls Deutsche Bank and Banque Paribas- tied up with the Rothschilds in 1814 in Hamburg, while Kuhn Loeb powerhouse Jacob Schiff shared quarters with Rothschilds in 1785. Schiff immigrated to America in 1865. He joined forces with Abraham Kuhn and married Solomon Loeb’s daughter. Loeb and Kuhn married each
Edmond de RLoeb and Kuhn married each others sisters and the Kuhn Loeb dynasty was consummated. Felix Warburg married Jacob Schiff’s daughter. Two Goldman daughters married two sons of the Sachs family, creating Goldman Sachs. In 1806 Nathan Rothschild married the oldest daughter of Levi Barent Cohen, a leading financier in London. [848] Merrill Lynch super bull Abby Joseph Cohen and Clinton Secretary of Defense William Cohen are thus descended from Rothschilds.
Today the Rothschild’s control a far-flung financial empire, which includes majority stakes in most world central banks. The Edmond de Rothschild clan owns the Banque Privee SA in Lugano, Switzerland and the Rothschild Bank AG of Zurich. The family of Jacob Lord Rothschild owns the powerful Rothschild Italia in Milan. They are members of the exclusive Club of the Isles, which provides capital for George Soros’ Quantum Fund NV, which made a killing in 1998-1999 destroying the currencies of Thailand, Indonesia and Russia. Soros was a major shareholder at Harken Energy.
Quantum NV handles $11-14 billion in assets and operates from the Dutch island of Curacao, in the shadow of massive Royal Dutch/Shell and Exxon Mobil refineries. Curacao was recently cited by an OECD Task Force on Money Laundering as a major drug money laundering nation. The Club of Isles group which funds Quantum is led by the Rothschilds and includes Queen Elizabeth II and other wealthy European aristocrats and Black Nobility. Fugitive Swiss financier and Mossad cutout Marc Rich, whose business interests were recently taken over by the Russian mafia Alfa Group, is also part of the Soros network. [849]
Ties to drug money are nothing new to the Rothschilds. N. M. Rothschild & Sons was at the epicenter of the BCCI scandal, but escaped the limelight when a warehouse full of documents conveniently burned to the ground around the time Rothschild-controlled Bank of England shut BCCI down. Perhaps the largest repository for Rothschild wealth today is Rothschilds Continuation Holdings AG- a secretive Swiss-based bank holding company. By the late 1990s scions of the Rothschild global empire were Barons Guy and Elie de Rothschild in France and Lord Jacob and Sir Evelyn Rothschild in Britain. [850] Evelyn is chairman of the Economist.

I totally agree with this gentleman with regards to military economy. Throughout the 2770 years in China's history, I have yet to see an empire prosper with military economy. The moment any of the emperors, kings and oligarchs start un-necessary wars, the regime soon falls into decline. Now we have nuclear weapons and conflicts are volatile events. One wrong move, a conflict might escalate into a nuclear war. And a nuclear war will be the end of the human race. To make things worst, Taiwan Americanization fanatics are starting to spread this "nuclear war won't end the world" narrative. What a crazy world we live in today.
Even if it doesn't lead to the end of the world, the casualties will be too many. Saying that about nuclear war is categorically unacceptable.

Hi, I am from Russia. I am 37 yo. I just want to say that we in Russia fully and completely understand that Western Europe is completely another culture, mentality and mindset. There are nobody here who think about conquering Europe because there is no sense in it at all. “Russia is a thread for Europe” is lie. It is NATO which comes to the boarders of Russia. Russia was for decades top1 economic partner of Baltic states, Finland, etc. If European elites want to earn money on producing weapons by killing Russians and Ukrainians, so say it straight. Without propaganda

Hi, i'm from Germany and i agree you. Still it is a crime to start any kind of war. As well as keeping it alive by delivering weapons.
They have already said it. The US and France.
The war give their arms manufacturers jobs.
The others in Europe knows it, but they must not say it. They'll be punished for it.
Did you know that if you put 100 black ants and 100 red ants in a jar, nothing will happen? But if you shake the jar hard, the ants start killing each other. The red ants consider the black ants their enemies, and the black ants consider the red ants their enemies. The true enemy is the one shaking the jar. The same thing happens in human society. So, before we attack each other, we should think about who is shaking the jar!

It would be funny to NATO to just hype this conflict with Russia just for Russia to do nothing after defeating Ukraine.
They would claim it as victory then. "Look, Russia wanted to conquer the world, but was stopped right after Ukraine! Our help stopped the evil dictator in his tracks!".
Strikingly similar situation happened right before WW2 - in 1939 after failing to negotiate some sort of a deal with Finland to push it's borders away from Leningrad, USSR invaded Finland to capture that land by force. And although on USSR side operation went to shit for the first half a year, later on all objectives were achieved, and Karelia region was captured. Still, Finland now claims that they won the war, because Soviets tried to take the entire country, but failed.
Ukraine will not succumb to defeat. Rest assured, Ukrainians refuse to be dominated by Russian aggression. Russia's greatest fear is a successful and flourishing Ukraine-proof that the ideology of Russian dominance is flawed and discredited. Poland serves as a prime example of success following the collapse of Russian-backed communism. Comparing the per capita GDP of Poland and Russia reveals a stark contrast: while Poland has thrived, Russia continues to promote a narrative that its people must endure hardship to oppose the so-called evil West.
@@DrNiradino Unfortunately you are correct.
Russia will not even try to complete the conquest of Ukraine. At most all Ukraine Oblast except the West Ukraine. They'll be surprised to find Russia stops at invading Western Ukraine, so they can relax.
@@DrNiradino Finns don't claim to have won the war on paper but it was a defensive victory. Stalin didn't see it as worth it to take the entire country anymore because of huge losses of men
Great analysis by my compatriot Jan Øberg 🇩🇰🇩🇰
The essential mistake is thinking of other countries as enemies. China and Russia are showing us the beauty of international cooperation and giving each other a hand. If we were as "up front" as they are, we would see there is nothing to fear.
🤡🤡🤡
That may be so, but let us not kid are selves the Russians and the Chinese are legitimate enemies of the US and the west you think they will do any better than the US probably much worse. IMHO these people are secretly paid or foreign assets, Trump is vehemently anti Chinese i wonder why, he just naively admires dictator's which is a problem and bad look that makes easily taken advantage of until the men in suits step in.
As more people travel there and see through the propaganda via different media, we will get to see them differently.
It will break the barriers and that can only be good.
You are a hypocrits russia are is a terrorist state and china
They need to create enemy, so that they can sell weapons.

Politics determines how wealth is distributed within a country, while wars and diplomacy determine how wealth is distributed between countries.
These are not good outcomes for US citizens of US Government policies: Economic inequality, inflation, stagnant real wages for the last fifty years, costly healthcare, an expensive education system, student loan debt totaling $1.7 trillion with an average balance of $38,000, poor public transportation systems, racial inequality, mass incarceration, the militarization of police, deteriorating infrastructure, housing affordability, homelessness, the opioid epidemic, and gun violence.
The 'Arsenal of Democracy' produces 40 percent of the world's weapons. It is a very profitable business model in which other countries buy these weapons to fight each other. The key is maximizing profits without shedding US blood by inducing conflicts between and within countries outside the USA. One client is eager to spend AUD 368 billion to buy a few high-quality used nuclear-powered submarines. This business model's critical components are NATO, QUAD, ANZUS, Five Eyes, AUKUS, and MCC (Mutual Cross-Service Agreement).
"In the councils of government, we must guard against the acquisition of unwarranted influence, whether sought or unsought, by the military-industrial complex. The potential for the disastrous rise of misplaced power exists and will persist. We must never let the weight of this combination endanger our liberties or democratic processes. We should take nothing for granted. Only an alert and knowledgeable citizenry can compel the proper meshing of the huge industrial and military machinery of defense with our peaceful methods and goals, so that security and liberty may prosper together." from Eisenhower's farewell address, January 17, 1961

I remember exactly the same sentence from stories out of a monastery. And a nun answered her sisters : "So what? Let them come - they are humans, too."

Left or right, we hear the dollar and banking will collapse, the pound will face a major loss of value, the Euro will devalue. All to happen this year. What are we to do?
Who said this year?
Petrol, banks, dollar, cash or crypto are not God. Let the system crash, they do it so they implement crypto to control people, life, food, resources, planet. Find another way not to depend on them, be ready to leave comfort, eventually to live for a while without phone, Internet, tik tok, gas, electricity till the system collapse. Essential for people is only freedom, health, air, water, food. Just a few can do this, strong people. These days people are weak, they rely on fakebook, comfort, money. We bow to our own creation technology and money are fake gods, most people pretend they can't live without phone or Internet. Comfort has a price, weak people will pay the price. For me price is too high, freedom, health, absolute control.

"The cost of one modern heavy bomber is this: a modern brick school in more than 30 cities. It is two electric power plants, each serving a town of 60,000 population. It is two fine, fully equipped hospitals. It is some 50 miles of concrete highway. We pay for a single fighter plane with a half million bushels of wheat. We pay for a single destroyer with new homes that could have housed more than 8,000 people."
"This, I repeat, is the best way of life to be found on the road that the world has been taking. This is not a way of life at all, in any true sense. Under the cloud of threatening war, it is humanity hanging from a cross of iron."

The Soviet Union did not collapse because of militarism. The Soviet Union collapsed due to counter-revolutionary decisions initiated by Khrushchev and brought to an end by Gorbachev and the company. Because of the betrayal of national elites, mired in opportunism and careerism. Due to the fact that a new generation of Communists and Komsomol members died in the first ranks of the Great Patriotic War. But, after all, who am I to argue with a man who has never lived in the Soviet Union.
I did my capstone project on the collapse of the Soviet Union, and militarism was one of the causes. But much stronger to causes were firstly, lack of will, from leader ship to carry on the Soviet project, like someone such as stolen what I’ve done, and the second was the anti-drinking campaigns that included tax revenue. And a secondary role is the underlying lesson that happiness is not materialism, and the great blind spot of all Marxism is that it reduces human want and happiness to nothing but pure material. That was the lesson the 19th century capitalists failed to learn and it is now the lesson that the 21st Century West is failing to learn.
Soviet union disintegrated because gorbachev was a western puppet
Lets face it, the Russian Revolution failed, that is why the Soviet Union is no more. The United States is a prosperous country, and it is a capitalist country, so you are saying Capitalism and democracy has not worked for Russia? How are the Russians different from Americans? Is it that Russians can't find a job in a competitive Capitalistic marketplace? If Russians can't find a job and can't compete with Americans looking for work, then what does that suggest Russians should do? Its not capitalism's fault that Russians can't compete, any more than its Basketball's fault if a losing team can't win! Capitalism is not east street, the only reason its successful is because people within in it compete hard and work hard to win and succeed, if you judge the system instead of trying to compete you will always lose!

Military economy is not always a parasite or self-destructive. It helps the very advanced technologies like AI, Robotics and, aeronautics, space and medicine. We see it especially in the US and Israel, and to a lesser extent in France and the EU. These technologies are oft3n not rentable enough for private businesses, but they need an initial boost. This may be cynical, but it's actually the social services, that bring less for technological development. Except health insurances, which finance medical technologies.
Great powers need confrontation. It makes citizens more ready to cut justice-driven, but not rentable expenditure in order to make the own country strong and efficient at any cost. Technology skepticism (current Western Europe's scourge) ceases, governments are forced to make structural reforms. And of course, they are forced to arm their countries with the most advanced weapons. This makes their countries strong on the long term. Strong for Unexpected future conflicts in the next decades, for global competitio, technological and space race. Ancient medieval and Modern History teachers that those who were forced to be fitter, are the fittest in future - they will be on top of the global hierarchy.
If you re American, not Russia but China is your main rival, but I am European. For Europe, it's Russia (and the uncontrolled immigration)

Откуда вы каждый раз узнаете, куда мы собираемся напасть? У нас осталось не так много вариантов. Скоро у нас останется только версия с высадкой десанта в Сан-Франциско из контейровозов.

Europe Population: 745 million.
How would Russia take any part of Europe? It would not.
Europe has 745 milion population but Estonia have only 1,3 milion it is manageable.
@@BlackFlash97 Is Estonia preventing ethnic Russians from speaking their language, no. Is there a rise of facism there, not all. So Estonia is not a target. Increasingly though, even in 6 days of posting my comment, the military options are widening on both sides. I would say if Ukraine does not surrender, something rather ominous will be next.
@@prosimulate Do you know what else Estonia is preventing Russians from? voting, in runet there is hot debate about the marginalisation of Russian rights in Estonia. Is there rise of facism? no but rise of rusophobia yes. Now let's talk about rise of fascism in Ukraine there are few shady parties in Ukraine like Social-National Party of Ukraine or Right Sector but if you look at the history of election in Ukraine they are not in goverment and even not in parlament. Tbh even if there would be peace today do you really think Russia would let Ukraine go? Russians are not keeping Mr.Viktor Yanukovych in rich Barvikha for nothing.
Call out the american war mongers!
hello algorithm.
I’m American and I stand with Russia 🫡 🇷🇺
"American"😂
Sweden signed its own death warrant, as soon as it joined NATO. It's in real danger now, but only because they've provoked the bear. That was stupid on the part of Sweden and Finland, and it will be a very expensive mistake indeed.
not really, and also, Russia is actually very lucky that Switzerland, Austria and Ireland have not joined NATO yet, but it could still happen in the future, depending by what Putin will do next
Tur det finns några kloka svenskar kvar.
