The truth is that we are in default now and our days are numbered. This country is now defenseless and being looted by those in charge of world finance. The big push is on to push us off the ledge we are on. There is no way out of the mess we are in. I agree. Meanwhile, while the western world's financially-based system is in crumbling in slow-motion default and inflation, the BRICS nations are building up an economic system based on tangible goods; commodities and industry. And the remaining nations of the world de-dollarize their assets. It doesn't take a crystal ball to see which system will come out on top.

Number of wars in Europe that are my problem = 0 Yup! You dont think it is your problem when billions of your dollars are sent to Ukraine instead of spread out amongst our states...or god forbid, used to pay off our debt! debt created by [bleep] like the ukraine war. Dont think you are quite understanding my position. Of course i care that we are wasting billions of my tax dollars in ukraine killing hundreds of thousands of people. I dont want us involved in any bullchit war that isnt a direct result of us being attacked on our homeland. I want the dems stopped, the globalists stopped, the nwo types stopped and any other who are an enemy to freedom and personal rights. Well we have one man trying to stop this avalanche while he is being attacked on all fronts. We have to support him of course and hopefully he takes Putin's advice to deal with his own house first!! And I hope he appoints Vivek as his chief house cleaner. Agree!!

The BRICS is busy building industries, establishing trading partners , exporting goods, and they are growing....
We produce printed dollars and inflation... and the g7 is shrinking... Putin pointed this out and I have been saying it here for awhile now Yup, we are witnessing our own country dying and fast. The world around us has figured it out, just not a large portion of our population who still believes what they hear on the 6pm news

Absolutely correct. We're now in debt to the tune of $34 trillion dollars and counting, still more to what is not being counted. If you want to put your U.S. Senator or Representative in a bad spot go in person to a town hall type meeting and bring up this huge 34 trillion debt and the impending crisis in Social Security. Ask very clearly where does this end. Ask what happens when we default. As if we are in actual default right now. And keep it up with follow up questions when he tries to wiggle out of answering. The truth is that we are in default now and our days are numbered. This country is now defenseless and being looted by those in charge of world finance. The big push is on to push us off the ledge we are on. There is no way out of the mess we are in. I think you are confusing us with China. Yes, we have our problems, but the pendulum is swing back and they are more manageable than you believe.

Your whole premise of "spreading dollars" among our states is backwards wrong thinking!!! They should never have taken those dollars from productive people in the first place Absolutely correct. We're now in debt to the tune of $34 trillion dollars and counting, still more to what is not being counted. Just think about the amount of co2 scrubbing trees that had to be cut down to make that much money. That is like 1/5 of the Amazon rainforest!! Shute our debt is fueling the climate crisis!! We don't actually print money anymore, those trees are safe from that at least. Nevertheless, your point is well taken; all those electrons running around to create currency electronically could be instead used to charge Teslas!

You dont think it is your problem when billions of your dollars are sent to Ukraine instead of spread out amongst our states...or god forbid, used to pay off our debt! debt created by [bleep] like the ukraine war. Your whole premise of "spreading dollars" among our states is backwards wrong thinking!!! They should never have taken those dollars from productive people in the first place Every state receives federal funding and stipends funneled back from federal taxes. The fed should not tax anymore than it needs, but that was just a good idea at the time!! now people actually think the government has money. The government, state or federal, has NO money. It is all ours but somehow we lost control of it by the crooks we elected to represent us. 'Democracy' ain't working !. Democracy has never worked.... we are a representative republic The crony capitalism we are currently operating under is no substitution for capitalism Libs love to talk about our “democracy”. You’re right, we’re NOT a democracy but a Representative Republic. Libs want to abolish the Electoral College, move toward what our Founders went to great lengths to avoid, mob rule. Democracy is mob rule. Out Founders carefully crafted the govt to give states certain rights so a few population centers wouldn’t rule over smaller states. Ya reckon the open border isn’t a conspiracy to flood the country with future Democrat voters? 10-15 mil warm bodies would make a major difference. That’s the population of a number of out smaller states combined. The safety of the country be damned. It’s all about their power at any cost. If that bunch ever gets the upper hand, the uni-party in firm control, it’s over. Dr. Ben Franklin’s famous answer, “It’s a Republic if you can keep it” is still in play. Not sure we’re gonna be able to keep it. The jury’s still out on that one. DF

The big push is on to push us off the ledge we are on. There is no way out of the mess we are in. They'd squirm but then start yammering about all their efforts to "reduce the deficit." I've been saying for years the term "reducing the deficit" is a propaganda tool used to normalize the idea of continual deficit spending. I've run across many people who truly believe debt can be eliminated by "reducing the deficit." The fact that the term "the deficit" exists is normalization of the concept because this year's deficit is not the same as any past years' deficits. Our system would go into a free-fall collapse without new debt. As it is we're just slowly crumbling -albeit at an ever increasing rate.

Unfortunately, debt is a feature of our monetary system, not a "bug". It's intended to be this way and the only way it will change is to change our monetary system.
End the Fed!

End the Fed! Agree that it's not a "bug", but rather than just a feature, it's really the very basis of the system itself.

Our dollar is note of debt. They did this when they went off the gold standard! They have turned our entire economy and financial system into a Ponzi scheme

End the Fed! There it is! Debt = Wealth no longer works. The FED will not go down meekly. It will have to rot away into irrelevance as Putin’s moral society shows the way along with the BRICs

One, this was hardly an interview. Putin talked about what he wanted to talk about and Carlson served as his video stenographer. The 'interview' happened in Russia so this is hardly surprising.
Two, the transcript has been available several days. On the premise it is accurate, anybody can read it and form their own opinions.

Anybody here remember just a short while back when Tucker was a pariah and a sellout not to be trusted and singing the “party line”?
Hasn’t been very long ago and now he’s a journalistic genius and hero for getting lectured by Putin.
“As The Campfire Turns” should be a soap opera.

There’s no reason for Putin to talk with POTUS! Biden isn’t capable of rhetoric which would be conducive to any situation that might go toward a peace accord; he as much as said this in the interview. As far as the expenditure of dollars that is an issue that goes directly to the Republicans for they control the House. Republicans have been a dead horse….IMO…throughout this entire affair! Politically they are suffering from LSD!
Even birds know not to land downwind!

Yes, we have our problems, but the pendulum is swing back and they are more manageable than you believe. Bro what world are you living in? China is making stuff with a growing population and minimal entitlements. We have the most entitled population in history that’s addicted to everything that one would offer to destroy a culture. Amazing.

Ya reckon ole Vlad is a politician….. You ask a politician a direct question, they spin off onto what they want to talk about, often a prepared diatribe to filibuster the subject at hand. Takes some practice, but seasoned ones have it down pretty well. Filibuster, distract, water down the item on the table. Shift the narrative, reform the conversation. Kinda like a shell game with a magician. Good ones are skilled at distraction, deception, hide the pea, shuffle the shells. It’s all a big game, never what you expect. Victims end up thinking what they’re programmed to think. Gaslighting taken to new levels. DF
