Fantastic interview, informative and facts highlighting.

[@ChrisAlbertH47]

There needs to be balance. The world has for too long been under the dominance of the US backed alliance because of its economic and military hegemony. As a European, I'm not overly enthused about an alliance where a country like Russia plays a significant role, but at this point, I'm willing to entertain the notion that any kind of counter to US led control might at least force a restructuring of the global order, which is much needed in light of what's happening in the middle east.

[@revol148]

@ChrisAlbertH47 agreed but be careful what you wish for: a world dominated by China concerns me. Russia is not even a contender - their economy is smaller than Italy ! As for Brazil - they have been on the verge of a first world country since the late 1970's and South Africa is pretty much over now that the blacks have taken control and driven its economy into the ground which white south Africa predicated it would back in the 1980's.

[@ChrisAlbertH47]

@@revol148 China can be a cause for concern, but they have been more willing to play within the lines so to speak when it comes to international relations. So I'm gonna give them the benefit of the doubt. And since BRICS is more of an economic alliance as opposed to a military or security alliance, there is more incentive to play nice with each other if common arrangements that can be collectively beneficial can be reached. My personal desire is just to see the growth of a strong economic institution to challenge the dollar.

[@reazapple4009]

What's happening in the Middle East is the shifting of the global order. Israel is posing to establish itself as a major superpower, after expanding its territory considerably and establishing trade agreements with the Gulf States and India. That's why Hamas is so against normalization: it means making Israel responsible for "national security" in the ME among its allies.

Germany could have been a powerhouse for Europe, but they've bent the knee. Russia is like david in this situation.

United States External Debt reached 26,467.0 USD bn in Mar 2024. As at the end of March 2024, China outstanding external debt was USD 2512.6 billion. This shows China is by far the biggest net economy knowing US external debt is bigger than its GDP. US government debt is more than 35 trillion USD. Printing Dollar is no more an option.

[@mike0six]

That's not how it works. For starters, GDP is a yearly output so the US economy creates $23.22 trillions yearly, this with a massive trade deficit even which is surprising.

Great interview! Thanks for bringing in someone like Mr. Richard Wolff, who offers a realistic and practical perspective of what's going on now around the world. It's a shame that most media outlets in the United States don't cover this kind of insight, probably because they're afraid of being marginalized or excluded.

US is doing it to it self

[@MelodicTurtleMetal]

Became too stupid to see a decade ahead. Was truly great until the 70's - then it woke up every day, told itself it was still great, and did nothing. Couple years ago it realised another country was catching up and decided all it could do was a global smear campaign to keep them down while they try to figure out how to be great again. Trump might actually be the best thing for America. History always shows great tyrants leading a country to power.

If you want to listen to lies, then yes. Go to the IMF and World Bank websites: Russia's GDP is $8.5 trillion, NOT 2. The Russian economy surpassed Germany and Japan in 2023, and now Russia is the richest country in Europe. And what's more: Russia ranks fourth in the world in terms of living standards. Again: all EU countries are inferior to Russia in terms of the wealth of their population.
