"You know, macroeconomics can be likened to a large animal. An elephant or rhinoceros. It may long stay patient, pestered by flies, mosquitos and birds. Such a giant is too lazy to react to every trivial thing, but there comes a certain point when it may lose temper, get up and shake it shoulders causing everyone to run helter-skelter, and vanish in an instant. The same goes for macroeconomics. It is very hard to tear down the current trend, but if it starts to budge, whole system may go out of control. Nobody knows when this may happen, it could occur at any moment…." ~ Herman Gref, CEO of Sberbank

The Saker joins me this week to discuss the continued deterioration in U.S.-Iran relations, including the U.S. assassination of Iranian General Qasem Soleimani and the broader implications of U.S. assassination policies. We also discuss the impact of impeachment politics on Ukraine and the continuing decline in Ukraine's society and economy. Finally, we touch on Russia's government reorganization—described in the Saker's recent piece, The new Russian government: a much needed evolution but not a revolution—as well as the extraordinary and baffling capitulation of the U.S. Administration to Israeli interests.
In Let's Go to the Movies, I will review The Russian Five. This fascinating documentary tells the true story of Russian immigrants who became American heroes, ice hockey teammates who became family, and the scrappy, resilient city of Detroit—together they became Stanley Cup Champions, twice. Imagine a world where people of different nations help each other become excellent. It is possible.
I loved your point to Saker on Israel :”If anyone goes against Israel they need to be secured in a bunker.”
Exactly right.
All political analysis needs to have the point factored into their equation. Doesn’t matter who is “president,”
Bernie, Trump, Obama, whoever, unless the conversation includes an unelected power above the highest office of the land we’re just running in circles.
Yup. Let go the centralized systems and stop financing them where they break the law and we make progress.
I know Saker is a knowledgable and experienced man. Sometimes he can be aloof to certain factors. His comment, “if Trump was patriotic he would do it.”
Look, I am not saying Trump is a savior but if your family is being attacked and your life is on the line while being publicly assaulted 24/7 for over 3 years what does anyone do…? Let’s see if Saker can do it.
Catherine you are in a tiny minority of people who can turn this ship around.
You have the governmental experience
You have DEEP knowledge on how the money works
You have first hand experience dealing with the deep state tactics
You’ve faced the beast and lived to tell about it
and if asked you wouldn’t go back to DC.
I’m all for holding Trump’s feet to the fire. He’s promised a lot.
Saying he’s not patriotic, I don’t think so. He had a very nice life before being president.
