watso finally listened/watched the full video ..

watso previously gave a link about the brics 5 gdp now being larger than the gdp of the g7.. the link was from almayadeen english .. from the same source - another story from about a week ago..

The US, Russian, and Chinese economies could withstand a full trade blockade with little damage, whereas Germany, France, and the United Kingdom would suffer greatly under the same scenario, a study conducted by the Sino-Russian Laboratory for Assessing the Consequences of Intercountry Trade Wars revealed.

comments made from 52.35 mention that russia has worked hard to be totally self sufficient ..

comments about the oil price crash in 2014 were interesting .. as watso's reading at the time was that it was the nasty russians who were the instigators of the price crash - trying to put the higher cost american producers out of business .... the price collapse started in mid 2014..

in mid 2014 .. the well head break even cost of american oil was $70 per barrel

the guy is probably more correct - and it being the americans who had the saudis push the price lower - to destroy russia ..

the other day, someone posted a link about the top container ports in the world ..

container ports = trade

above link was to 2021.. the following link is top 10 in 2023 - and gives a description of each port

it is more than obvious that bully boy america and its vassals are becoming increasingly irrelevant ..

comments about civil wars, including america, seem to be a bit far fetched... but watso has often commented about america destroying itself from the inside
