"I hope this won't become a war against the wealthy, but certain groups of wealthy are responsible."

The free market economy...

The west made a decision to get more profits by moving their industry, their capacity to produce, our 'industrial capacity'; moving it to China because they had cheap labor in large amounts and it made tremendous profit and it dramatically hurt the working class. Now they say and China is evil and they must be stopped.

How are you going to stop them - well they're setting up for war with China which would stop everybody because it's going to end in nuclear
conflict and kill us all number one, but number two they are doing all of these tariffs which will again hurt the working class.
They're doing it to hurt China, but China is their own creation.
They moved everything there because of the culture that says we must get as as high a profits as we possibly can - and it worked.

The West is stupid.
They drove Russia and China together.
Russia is generations ahead of the U.S. in military technology, specifically missiles, and they've won the arms race.
What happens when Russia combines their military technology with China's industrial capacity?

One Chinese automated cruise missile factory has the capacity to produce the components for 1,000 missiles/day if running 24/7. They can build 200 naval destroyers a year. What happens when China starts pumping out Oreshniks, S500's? The West can't even wage a war on the Houthis, Saudi Arabia spend hundreds of billions in U.S weapons trying to beat them but can't, and you want to fight China and Russia, it's madness, all our economies rely on trade with China. We may as well use all our own weapons on ourselves, it'll be less painful.

Just a few days back the Houthi's fired JUST ONE hypersonic missile at Israel, and the Iron dome supposed to be the best air defense in the world, well even it couldn't take down that one single missile.

Armchair Critic-

Thanks for the new video.

The commentator raises a few interesting points, plainly very pro-China. I will need to watch it a few more times to extract all the value. It does seem to indicate that the nation the commentator hails from, may not be friendly with the West, in private.

At some point in the conflict between the West and China we will need to decide whether we are on the side of The West (and help it fight) or on the side of China (and go to gaol or the front as shock troops). Libertarian gatekeepers can only stare down and defy gravity for so long, before they have to admit that they can't keep giving China money, and assume that they won't build weapons to attack us with. As the Hebrew Warner Bros "Private Snafu" movies say "Loose Lips Sink Ships". Libertarian's that refuse to admit their mistake can go to the front too in my view.

Sadly the Chinese Communist Party has been playing "keep away", with the wealth generated by trade with the US, from the Chinese people.

Hopefully the Chinese people don't think this policy will suddenly change.

I hope that the Chinese people see what the authoritarian CCP is doing and will act against it at the critical time.

Some are investing into a more arbitrary authoritarian world, rather than trying to understand the sources of instability, pretty dumb really.

I expect to see Twiggy Forrest in gaol at some point, along with the vast majority of ABC Journalists and University Academics especially from the Arts. I hope that someone is drawing up lists now, so that when the time is right they can be collected, for everyone's safety.

It's important for society to have a long memory.

Some groups are particularly adept at making each way bets

It seems that the CCP really doesn't want the US to increase tariffs, that is probably as good a reason as any to do it. It's better than going to war to address our different viewpoints.

I'd suggest stockpiling and mass producing durable foodstuffs and housing- this should help to insulate against price spikes. A side benefit will be that it will tend to make people more self-sufficient and less subject to the scarcity that governments can create, to manipulate the public. A durable goods policy will help protect governments from public backlash from scarcity and rising prices. This way GNP can decline concurrently with increasing living standards.

Within Western nations we need to stop investing into enemy economies- such as Woke Marxist unionized labour- that are sponsoring nihilist policies.

I suspect that this a what Nikita Kruschev meant when he said- "we will bury you"

An nescis, mi fili, quantilla prudentia mundus regatur.
Don't you know, my son, with how little wisdom the world is governed?
Axel Oxenstierna L/- to his son, a peace negotiator to end thirty year war 1648.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peace_of_Westphalia ;that left behind a death toll of eight million.

Well CM, if the world is governed by those with little wisdom, the question must be (I would think), who are the wise so absent from governance!…what are they up to that has more importance than governing. It’s a good question: Maybe that’s what we need, viz better control by the people (the masses), over who governs. Look for example at the incendiary mess Obama gifted the world. The West will be very lucky to recover from his total lack of wisdom.

Hi CM,
I'm not well versed on many of the things you often talk about, but I have main content creators I follow on youtube, and then there's a few others I watch now and again.

For example, much of my last comment was from here one of my regular shows:
http://www.youtube.com/live/18-2U2PIEkk
And the discussion about the attack by Yemen on Israel was from here:
http://youtu.be/szQbpFy080E
(You'll have to skip forward to the 50 min mark where they discuss Israel being unable to shoot down a single Palestine 2 missile from Yemen)

You'll get a lot out of that first video if you watch it.
Take note that Putin has an 86% approval rating and Xi has a 90+% approval rating, they both pulled many of their people from poverty.
Garland Nixon has a really great way of explaining things.

I have a couple of Youtube / X content creators who live in China that I look at now and again:

I don't wish to be ruled by any foreign power, but I see the U.S. as being the one hell-bent on global domination and war provocation.
I can't see the U.S. losing their hegemonic position to China without dropping a nuke tbh, and at the same time I don't think America can compete either economically or militarily.

The economic video content creator Sean Foo, I'm not sure where he's from, it might be Singapore, he puts out video content more or less daily.
http://www.youtube.com/@SeanFooGold
His wikipedia page I just looked at states he lives in Singapore, is gay (didn't know that until just now) and that he graduated from Monash University in Melbourne, where he earned a double degree in Arts and Accounting.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sean_Foo
I honestly don't mind his economic take on things, regardless of his sexuality.

I also watch Brian Berletic sometimes, mhaze hates him, but I don't mind his content.

There's plenty there to dig into.
Have a look from my side of the fence and let me know what you think.
