The multilateral trade agreement known as the Transpacific Partnership (TPP), is a massive pacific rim trade agreement favored by Wall Street, the US Chamber of Commerce, Club for Growth, Ron DeSantis (voted to approve) and now candidate Vivek Ramaswamy.
President Trump famously took the U.S. out of the TPP agreement around the same time he took us out of the Paris Climate Agreement. As noted by President Trump and his economic team at the time, Free Trade Agreements (FTA’s) are beneficial to the USA when they are bilateral between the U.S. and another singular nation. Multinational trade agreements end up serving the interests of the least common denominator nation and are detrimental in their finished outcome to U.S. consumers.
Wall Street loves multinational trade agreements because they provide greater flexibility for the profit opportunities of global corporations, multinational corporations and banks. However, Main Street USA suffers from lost manufacturing jobs, lowered overall wages, and cheap imported durable goods that are an outcome of the lowest cost manufacturing priority.
During a Twitter spaces discussion yesterday presidential candidate Vivek Ramaswamy said he was in favor of reengaging the U.S. in the TPP trade agreement. This is a non-starter for any America First economic platform.
“I think we should re-enter it,” Ramaswamy said to Musk about 94 minutes into the conversation on Twitter. “I think this is a little bit different than what, you know, the course of action taken by Trump in exiting the TPP [Trans-Pacific Partnership]. I think that was actually a poor decision.” (link)
This should be a disqualifying position for any consideration in the Trump administration.
Listen as Vivek says he wants America to re-enter into Obama’s TPP trade deal and says President Trump made a “poor decision” by pulling out
You can take the WEF out of your wikipedia bio, but you can’t take the globalism out of your heart

Flashback – November 2016
Stick a fork in him – he’s done.
Divide that picture into two halves……
top and bottom….
The eyes are ‘dead’….the smile is a frozen caricature of a smile.
Despite the menace he represents, I can’t help but see him as a silly child.
I would never embrace or accept such a one as Executive of our nation.
Ramashwamy will never curry favor with me.
Heh. ISWYDT.
Pretty slick, isn’t he.
Curry… good one, lol.
Good one.
Such a great observation.
I typically look at the eyes but had not done so till I saw your post.
I thank God he is being exposed!
Anyone that has teeth that white scares me. And he most definitely has dead pan eyes.
He wasn’t even a footnote. He’s not just done, he’s forgotten.
No big surprise here. Typical GOP/E splitter strategy. Trump and MAGA are not in the least affected by this minor league stuff. Just look at Trumps numbers—the GOP/E is terrified by all this. If the MAGA voete materilaizes in the 2024 election the massive Trump vote will simply bury the best vote-fraud efforts. TRUMP ROCKS!!! MAGA ROCKS!!!
HUZZAH!!!
“The GOP is terrified” … says it all … the GoPe, RNC & RINOS are desperate to destroy the best Republican & Patriot with the Party since Reagan … why? They likely have even more treasonous secrets than the Biden Crime Family.
Trying to straddle the fence between MAGA and the GOPe is a non-starter. Making some of the right noises about government being far too big, powerful, and overreaching does not make acceptable the international trade control mechanisms and continued massive immigration policies.
We either save the country or we do not. There is no middle ground at this point. Does Ramaswamy believe that Omar, Tlaib, Jayapal, et al care a snap pea about the citizens of the United States? Does he think that, suddenly, the foreign international players will now suddenly start following rules, and cease seeking to steal us blind?
Have been looking at him without final evaluation, but the jury is now in, and he is fully cooked. done, and finished.
Well put.
In 2011, the Paul & Daisy Soros Fellowships for New Americans awarded Ramaswamy a post-graduate fellowship.
That’s all you need to know.
It also helps to know that he’s been on podcasts claiming that the WEF forced his membership on him and he’s suing them about it.
The (polite) word that occurs is far-fetched. How in the world does he imagine we would ever swallow that?
Paul Soros is not George Soros. Paul is actually apolitical and not affiliated with WEF or George
ridiculous. the soros family is evil and everyone knows it.
Yup. He just hit the self-destruct button.
But he’s too smart to know it.
Lol!!!!!
Well done
He’s an inserted scumbag. I really wish people would wake the fk up and quit fawning over shallow people! I mean seriously, he’s so fkin shallow you can see the ripples!
I’m off to tend to my avocado trees. Have a nice day!
Bye, Bye Vivek.
“Better to remain silent and be thought a fool than to speak and to remove all doubt”- A. Lincoln
MAGA needs to delicately engage in the type of Diplomacy…that tells him to go to hell in such a manner that he enjoys the trip.
I thnk that was an old Winston Churchill quote….
That he looks forwards to the trip, n’est-ce pas?
Not sure what you mean?
Vivek creates the same disdain in me…that Pence and Haley do.
I thought you were expressing uncertainty about the accuracy of your quote and thought to add how I recall that quote’s ending, I see I might have misinterpreted that.
N’est-ce pas means isn’t that so, sorta a French version of Right? But been around far longer, it’s a daily use kind of phrase, often used ironically.
Definitely wasn’t trying to step on toes!
I just looked it up:
“Tact is the ability to tell someone to go to hell in such a way that they look forward to the trip.” ― Winston Churchill
Right…Vivek very much looking forward to his eminent, Trump inspired, trip to Hell!
Exactly!
LOL AS! Yes indeed, Vivek just catapulted to nickname territory with all the perks.
LOL. Can anyone venture a guess about what Pres Trump’s nickname for VR will be. Can’t wait.
Whatever it could be, it would be raaacisst.
He’s Asian. There’s no racism against Asians, I’m told they’re the same as Caucasians lol
Ramaswampy
Both Lincoln and Churchill read the Bible. They’re just paraphrasing Proverb 17:28.
28
Even fools are thought wise if they keep silent,
and discerning if they hold their tongues.
Offer him and his subcontinent Countrymen a grass fed rib eye dinner so they can know the heaven of having a solid bowel movement for once in their lifetime. 😳
Which makes me wonder why expose himself now? He was on a roll parroting the MAGA agenda of America First.
Either it’s hubris and the adulation at Turning Point and rising poll numbers have emboldened him to sneak in his more globalist views, one at a time, or he is a Soros plant.
Ramasmarmy might be trying to attract RDS’ big buck contributor support.
I think the Club 4 Growth crowd backed more than one horse.
Soros
WEF
TTP
… the list keeps growing
In 2011, the Paul & Daisy Soros Fellowships for New Americans awarded Ramaswamy a post-graduate fellowship.
A plant? Maybe. He’s also of the highest caste, Brahmin.
You know the Brahims murder the Dalits (lowest caste) at will right?
Not much to be proud of.
Many have wildly underestimated PDJT and MAGA.
They believe their own brainwashing.
Or he was told to show some globalist chops to get some of that sweet billionaire donor cash.
Vivek is a Soros plant and Turning Point is fake MAGA. Charlie Kirk is greedy and he abandoned Kari Lake in Arizona after her “loss”
Flameout.
At least he was quick and in-your-face about it for any fence sitters.
So much for MAGAswamy.
Swamy really only cares about India! It’s pretty obvious now.
All of them do. Always.
It takes multiple generations to transfer loyalties. The Bible specifies a minimum of three generations, and for some peoples says never, not even after 10 generations.
Indians ingroup hard, and always, always, always select other Indians and what is good for other Indians over any other preference. They are a serious workplace cancer.
Immigration = invasion, always.
As for Ramaswamay, he has to go back.
Well, he most certainly will not be going up.
Natural Born is a minimal requirement that is all too inadequate, even if honored, to address the likes of Ramaswamy or, say, a Red Diaper Muslim like Obama.
I really like the generational approach you highlighted, what simple undeniable life-saving wisdom in that, some cultures melt much more slowly than others.
We need to stop importing The East which is hell bent on destroying The West.
And we still celebrate St. Patrick’s Day in stead of Evacuation Day.
He was born in the USA, so going back to what? But he is a high caste Brahmin, so the rest of your post is accurate and right on.
His parents are not native born. Both must be.
Ineligible.
Ineligible.
HE WAS BORN IN AMERICA !
To lead the nation? 5 for lower political office, 10 for major political office.
I’m a bit chuffed on political systems though.
Back to his old name – Ramaswampy.
Thanks sundance for this information. This is a “deal killer”. Too bad
Why “too bad”? Asking for a friend…
I never even gave the guy a look. Who needs him when we have President Trump. However, it still makes me sick because it is a never ending line of deceivers.
We have to win but more than that we have to be ready to end this mess quickly when our President is back in office. We need competent MAGA people to fill the cabinet and key positions. We cannot keep putting in deceivers.
They will fight with everything they have and we need to be smarter and ruthless this time. It just concerns me because I do not want to spend the little time we have to reset our government dealing with people like this. So disappointing and I am sure there are more revelations to come.
Donald Trump wont be here forever. Only President until Jan. 2029. Where’s the younger leaders to pass the torch to? Can’t let MAGA die with Donald.
It won’t, especially if we avoid Faux MAGA interlopers.
Focus on Donald Trump winning the 2024 election. We can worry about who comes after in 2025.
Sadly, there are people who just don’t like 45’s personality. They are hoping for another R candidate to support. It is a pretty shallow viewpoint the way I see it. I am visiting friends and both of them are that way, my husband too.
I asked them if it was ok with them for the doj to get away with this current persecution of Trump, and they were dead set against it,, so maybe I got them thinking a bit. IDK.. I never really liked Vivek… something seemed off, this is a great reminder of what MAGA is about.
Saw Richard Baris of People’s Pundit (pollster) last week. He said the NeverTrumpers are dwarfed by the new Trump supporters. He said 6M to 13M (not sure I remember the exact numbers), but he emphasized this.
I think many people are very fickle. Blow with the wind. Lack backbone. Just fickle.
Jesus Christ was, is and will always be the ONLY perfect human on the planet.
Yet – the sophisticated, educated, elite Republican Establishment is always looking for the perfect candidate … NOT a fighter … and why they HATE WeThePeople … 🇺🇸TRUMP🇺🇸2024🇺🇸MAGA🇺🇸
The people that don’t like Trump’s “personality” have no idea of his personality because they been fed codswallop about Trump’s personality by the MSM, the never-trumpers, the RINOs, the leftists, and so on. They fail to see how foreign leaders see & like him. Queen Elizabeth jolly well liked him. People with the idea that Trump is abrasive or whatever, are shocked when they visit and talk with him. on how kind and soft spoken he is. Amazed on how charismatic and charming he is. That’s why he is making inroads into black and hispanic voters. When the sports stars meet him and he goes out into the people, they drop their ideas about Trump’s personality.
I watched all of The Apprentice and Celebrity Apprentice shows. His concern for Dennis Rodham’s alcoholism and arranged rehab for him, also for the other celebrities on his show, such a Trace Adkins, Dee Snider (with hand injury), and for Bret Michaels (notified of his daughter’s illness) show he is not a narcissist or any other bad trait.
As Steve Harvy said on his talk show in 2016 about Hillary Clinton, “You don’t have to have her over for dinner and like her, but to recognize how good she will for this country.” Boy, is he dumb about politics.
NeverTrumpers have dead brains, its obvious the Trump economy was 10x better
Because there’s no one to trust among those anti-maga candidates
And the Self-Immolation begins!
🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
He’s likely out building his funeral pyre tonight.
India needs you son , do your land of nativity a solid and go make India great again , thanks for coming in today ..
Vivek represents a quiet majority from those from India…not all but a lot?
Many of these “poor” immigrants from over yonder….are NOT poor. I know a few families that that are filthy stinking rich over there…in the elevated Caste system, if you will…and are here, milking our system while being owners of massive amounts of business and land.
India needs him there, to raise up their own poor/fix the homeland politics and not pretending to be poor, here.
I noticed tge India infestation in the 1980’s with ownership & management of Hotels (Patel) … then medical schools … and now technology … a billion sheeple from a 3rd world cesspool where a Hindu Sect is currently slaughtering Christians is Northern India … Vivek is WEF/NWO groomed.
Ther caste system will never allow that to happen.
In 2023, India still has a lowest caste of people they call the Untouchables.
Someone needs to call him on this. I’d like to see an Untouchable walk up on the stage with him and hand him a bottle of water. Watch his expression and manner, you will likely see revulsion and he won’t touch the bottle. If he did he’d lose his caste. It’s who and what he was raised to be.
We don’t need any Brahmin Indians running anything, thank you!
Exactly.
You said the quiet part out loud. 😂
He was born in America.
Maria is losing weight, her face is more refined, no complaints on that score.
D’oh! 2016 . . .
Oops . . .
Never mind . . .
Ah, no. The tape is from 2016. Maria is beautiful, but getting older as we all do.
Ja, I broke the code after posting . . .
It was only a matter of time.
My sight is really poor. At first I misread your comment as “crime.”
Works either way!
why wouldn”t vivek want to rejoin TPP?
he’s a phrama bro…SPECIFICALLY A INDIA PHARMA BRO!
almost ALL drugs sold in America and the world are manufactured by
India – 48 percent
China – 13 percent
US? a mere 10 percent!
there are trillions at stake…and vivek want to make bank …
this IS his agenda.
and yes, it also benefit elon…who would find it much more valuable to his tesla company that more vehicles are manufactured in china sold back into the US …which isn’t viable right now…TPP would solve that for tesla.
this should help explain why the media decided to give this nobody a LOT of air time …he represents very big global corp!
would not be surprised to see griffin (desantis backer) start throwing money his way!
God Bless America
Good thoughts, Reg!
Exactly he was a nobody. In past years they ignored a past governor of my state and therefore made him into nobody. Anyone elevated should be scrutinized.
What????? As President, Vivek cannot run his companies, just as Trump could not run his.
No, but his ‘family’ and friends could and then funnel back to him like the Bidens.
Deflections don’t work here.
Elon is dangerous to my health. Supporting RdS way back, now just looking for his next candidate. He’s going to influence some age bracket to vote for these losers.
Telsa recently has been drastically reduced in price. He hates PDJT trade policies. Twitter is solvent to about October. He’ll do anything he can to work against President Trump. He’s working more for Chyna and 3-letter than me.
When people tell you who they are, believe them.
I saw this yesterday and mentioned it in a late night comment.
I’d like to know where all those ESL, coordinated Vivek seminar commenters are tonight? Think they’ll show up to defend him, now that he has outed himself as a Swamp-approved huckster?
One has tried participating in threads today without shilling, will indeed be interesting to see that dynamic play out.
My, my, that is a racist comment.
That’s a stretch.
How is that racist? Same level as the “Climate Change is Racist” nonsense.
It seems to me he is just saying that people who are new to our government structure (and haven’t even mastered the language yet) may not have the depth of understanding of what is going on or maybe want to win one for their home team. That is not racist.
Not it’s not!
It is an observation. How could observing someone speaking English as a second language be racist?
You are deflecting AGAIN and it is noticeable.
👁️👁️👁️
Yes, observing and commenting on the actions of individual people is definitely not “racist.” To tar a whole group with one broad brush could accurately be described as racist.
Now onto “discrimination.” Properly defined, this is the act of thinking and disseminating information. Discriminating thoughts merely describe intelligence in action. It is perception aligned with previous experiences.
And your point?
I would summarize Judith’s point as:
Sundance and Treepers are very discriminating in the original and proper sense of the word.
It’s one of those words that was early in being co-opted by the left.
And racist is another one, obviously. Now flung about to the point of absurdity.
Just my observation – can’t obviously speak for Judith.
10-4. I was confused not upset.
Thanks for the clarifications!
FACT:
BLM Chicks stole millions of BLM donations and bought mansions in white, gated & guarded neighborhoods … is that BLM fact racist because it’s about BLM ?!??
Stuff it, Sparky.
Soooo…Wilbur Ross makes my point.
MAGA
Trump 2024
Get the job done!
Stay Frosty!
Wilbur is supporting Youngkin. Sad.
a used car salesman is more trustworthy
Just watch his poll numbers drop now.
Lol, will Asa take the lead? 🙂
Ada.
That settles that! And he has an unfortunate smile, a phony.
Big, white teeth!
Actually, he looks as if he has the same “open-bite” malocclusion as Michelle Obama. Maybe it’s just in this picture.
Yes!!always grinning. Like a mule chewing briars..😁😁
A beauty pageant smile. Fake, rehearsed, Obama again. Please, no!
And the blinding white teeth are racist.
If there were no globalist multinational uniparty, someone would run on a platform promising to implement Trumponomics without Trump drama. The fact that not a single politician wants to replicate the best economy for Main Street in 50 years is very revealing
If there were no globalist mulitnational uniparty, there never would have been any “Trump Drama” to begin with.
That is all a fabrication and manifestation of the rabid opposition to his curbing their feasting upon the American people.
Thank you. There is no clearer “that is all”
Yes it certainly is revealing
I see it the same way and it’s most unfortunate that America is being overwhelmed by globalist dirt.
The Trans-Pacific Partnership Agreement requires member countries to subordinate and conform their internal laws to all regulations passed by an unelected and unaccountable Trans Pacific Commission. National sovereignty is given up.
Support for TPP is a game-ender. Ramaswamy just ended his career. And another mask falls.
“The Trans-Pacific Partnership Agreement requires member countries to subordinate and conform their internal laws to all regulations passed by an unelected and unaccountable Trans Pacific Commission. National sovereignty is given up.”
So, it’s NATO for global business interests.
More like a EU for the Pacific Rim. That subordination is why the Brits left the EU.
Worse.
NATO is required to act when attacked, and is led by leaders the US has great influence over.
TPP does the attacking, on its primary host, us, under the direction of an entity the US does not control.
As Trump says, “the business goes to the lowest common denominator”.
At this rate there won’t be anyone left but DeSanctis.
Ha!!
Oh, 🤔 wait…
Ross at commerce was the best move Trump made.
Next you’ll be telling me that Vivek was a WEF “Young
GlobalGloboHomo Leader” and Klaus “Barbie” Schwab butt-boy … or something.Wait, wut?
A disgusting comment which adds nothing to the discussion.
If you don’t like sarcastically humorous comments, you don’t have to be here.
Having trouble understanding nuances of native English speakers?
In a closely related topic, what “Vivek” has done here is another good argument to pause all immigration for many years.
He was born in Cincinnati Ohio to Brahmin-caste Indian immigrant parents, but his allegiance is obviously to India.
Follow the India-pharma money!
His allegiance is to his own pocket book.that’s not new of course.
Exactly!
It is one thing to open our USA borders to those in other countries who want to assimilate and become AMERICANS.
It is a TOTAL opposite construct when those from other countries want to become American citizens in order to ingratiate their countries world views and enhance themselves along with their families living in their HOME COUNTRY!
Those “immigrants” do not want to take up the yoke of American Citizenship and all that it entails. Rather, they are embarking on a personal challenge to rob our country and culture in order to send $$$$$$$$$’s back to their original country in order to elevate their families’ status.
That motive and end result never has been and IS NOT TODAY what immigrating to the USA is all about for the outside our continental borders mean in reality.
CLOSE THE BORDERS for an indefinite period of time in order to figure out “What the Hell is going on!”.
.
Everybody is eager to exploit/extort the US. It’s a purposeful invasion, sponsored by blood-sucking international criminals.
They can’t tear down and parcel out the country and its wealth fast enough. Those Americans who believe the “Give me your tired and your poor …” version of immigration are, at this point, utter fools, who are unwittingly lined up with our enemies.
There cones a point when our country is overwhelmed by those thar came here to do what you are saying. At what point does this turn our country into the hell hole they came from because they haven’t a clue what being an American really means?
Careful here. For many many years we accepted the best and brightest immigrants the world has to offer helping propel us to world leadership in many technical fields. We should revert to that policy and close our borders to the to the worst the world has to offer.
We did not take them in in the millions per year.
They need time to assimilate and learn American founding ideals.
Immigration needs to pause for at least 30 years, an entire generation plus.
Schools have taught a generation that unAmericanism is American. We now have people who hate America. Closing the border is a start, not a solution.
What undergirds Fundamental Transformation is hatred of American values. So what better way to undermine America than by flooding the country with people of different values and cultures who have no interest in assimilation? And infiltrate the educational ranks to teach the religion of the Anti-Christ?
The best and brightest enemies foisted their plan upon the well-intentioned, unsuspecting, and incurious. The best and brightest are far more dangerous than simple folks. Give us your virtuous and hard-working.
Ask Sikhs what they think of that?
I’m watching and listening to David Sacks on “The All-In” podcast. For years he’s been quietly pro-Trump for a venture capitalist, private equity, Silicon Valley type. He hosted DeSantis’ messed up primary entrance on Twitter once Elon’s profile got too much traffic, and since then says he’s supporting DeSantis in the Republican Primary and Kennedy in the Dem Primary, but he doesn’t seem settled, and he doesn’t throw Trump under the bus from what I’ve heard. He’s also brighter than most when it comes to war in Ukraine. They had Vivek on the podcast last week and it was a great interview.
Why are you listening to talking heads who favor anyone else beside President Trump? Have you considered David Sachs might be stringing you along? IMO You’re acting like you’re at a week-old buffet and you’re thrilled the choices. Quit pretending that listening to people who are not MAGA will all come out okay. There’s only one earnest 2024 choice and it’s President Trump. Get serious, please.
Yes, one has to have unflappable understanding of who President Trump is vs. anyone else to enter enemy camp and come out unscathed, uninfluenced. Going into enter territory is not for the weak minded. I never do it and have no interest in doing so. I leave all that to Sundance who is firmed grounded in truth and knows untruth when he hears it and can and will present their dirty lies & candidates in spite of the flap he gets. As always though, truth bears him out in due time. Best example: disclosing RdS.
In the data and information business, resulting in insight, you consider all sources of input and use a set of tools to determine the quality and veracity of sources. No different in war, all information must be assessed. Multiple sources of input are required in most every important decision we make in life. Even as mundane as grocery shopping.
If you come across someone who has shunned all other sources of input but one, they are locked into a group think, echo-chamber and have outsourced their intellect. Think Jim Jones and Kool Ade. Take in as much input as your capacity will accept to understand all that is going on. The good, the bad and the indifferent.
The end decision may still be the same but you’ll have a better, more well rounded understanding of the world around you and where it is going. And may the Holy Spirit guide you.
BEWARE: There are a number of other RED FLAGS associated with Ramaswamy –
https://www.americanthinker.com/blog/2023/07/vivek_ramaswamys_soros_connection.html
If you are in favor of outsourcing American jobs to Asia, you’re dead to me.
If you are in favor of sending billions of dollars and scores of troops to Ukraine to draw Russia into WW3 with us, you’re dead to me.
It is truly amazing that there isn’t any other candidate besides Donald Trump who is even trying to fake their way into the good graces of MAGA voters by pretending to be on the right side of both of these issues.
Indeed.
I don’t think they care about votes. They do what their donors say to do. In most cases, their job is to make sure Donald Trump doesn’t win the nomination. Some of them may not even know they are being used for that purpose.
“In most cases, their job is to make sure Donald Trump doesn’t win the nomination.”
There’s no doubt that this is true, but it’s still surprising there’s not ANYBODY else who is even remotely convincing as a MAGA-lite fraud.
That’s what is so revealing about it. It’s like they don’t even know how stupid they appear. Judas Pence is one good example of that one.
These “candidates” can’t possibly believe they can win. Something else is motivating them. You’d think they’d try to win over the MAGA majority. Nope.
Why? Because they don’t need votes anymore? Well, no they don’t. They can always change the rules!
Even better, they are winning the lottery with the globalist elites funding the operation to prevent DT from winning.
They are also using this time to promote themselves for future enrichment and comfortable habitation in the deepening dark swamp.
I came to a conclusion about stupid people with power and influence a long time ago:
Stupid people think everyone else in the world is as stupid as they are.
That’s what’s wrong with these people. They’re just stupid and think We can’t see it.
Some feel superior while not knowing they are stupid. AOC and Piglosi are good examples but choose any one of them.
They only know they have more power than we do and serve a completely different entity. So, their bidding goes towards their masters.
This gives them a feeling of elation, acceptance and overlordship. It causes severe blind mindedness. They essentially live in a bubble.
When powerful people with money tosses them a morsel to sit at the big table, they suddenly feel empowered and distinctive. They enbrace that falsehood and surround themselves with its lavishness. That’s why they are all completely cut off from reality. They don’t know they are killing themselves and our country.
They have no clue how stupid they are or how easy it is for us to see it. We don’t have that dark veil over our faces obscuring our view.
They don’t need our vote. They have everything they need as long as they obey their masters. It’s the masters job to take care of “the people.”
^^^^^^^
I like this.
Apparently you would need to be independently wealthy and a masochist to run as a true MAGA candidate.
No kidding. The persecution they have piled on President Trump is relentless. The more they attack him, the more we support him. These bullies are going down.
People can be fickle therefore fooled. Not Treepers though. Sundance figures it out and so do we.
I’m thinking we were much closer to 100 Million.
Many more now.
FVR
This is a hard no for me.
I’m not ok with creating more detrimental USA outcomes, just to “spread the wealth” as Obama said.
Conversely, I’m spending quite a bit of time looking at the Russian economy and how it is responding to the isolation from the global sanctions. In many ways the outcomes of the economic sanctions are comparable to massive tariffs that block imports.
It’s a very unique opportunity to watch what happens internally in a nation when they are dependent on their own production. The Russian internal economy is thriving, domestic investment is skyrocketing, home purchases are climbing, the average standard of living is rapidly increasing, wages are growing and the nation is becoming more independent each week.
At the same time, all of that activity is resulting in a higher patriotism than ever before, and the cohesion of the nation is actually quite stunning.
The cities are safer, the large metropolitan areas are even more clean, mass transit is being built, infrastructure is being modernized, the domestic tourism industry is remarkable – particularly in St Petersberg area.
All of this growth is possible because the wealth they would have sent to other nations for goods and services is now staying inside Russia. Ironically, this internal wealth is also paying for their ability to manufacture and produce war machinery. It’s a circle economic activity.
I am surprised no MACRO economic studies are being conducted. Then again, maybe not… lol
We sanction proofed Russia well before we green lit the latest stage of the proxy war, and indeed, it is remarkable to see what they have accomplished and how they are prospering and blooming, financially and culturally, we discussed many years ago here how the US had the capacity to wall off the world and prosper, yet somehow even the win-win gambits of PDJT were a bridge too far for the Derps to tolerate..
I began moving some of my hope eggs for humanity’s future, for a healthy facsimile of Western Civilization, or a for a healthily resurgent Christianity, to Russia around November of 2020; I hope our posterity pulls it out and pulls through, but, well, we’ll see what happens, some of us Boomers are up for some more Booming before we exit the stage . . .
Imagine that—the Russians are finally crawling out from under the ruble of Bolshevism by doing things the old American way, while we increasingly do our business according to the old Soviet model….
There are prophecies out there that say Russia will re-christianize the United States. Ten years ago that sounded utterly crazy, but now? Who can say.
Not making Allies of Russia after the Wall came down (as we made Allies of Germany, Japan, and Italy after WW II) was a colossal geopolitical mistake. Our globalist overlords had other ideas I guess. Those ideas had nothing to do with what made our countries thrive.
Agreed in full without reservation.
We sent Robber Barons instead of making friends; we made designs on their territory and treasure instead of sitting down to create reasonable borders that would secure peace and prosperity, we promised not to encroach with NATO and not only did so but engaged in a destructive disgusting illegal war of impunity in Yugoslavia against an ancient Russia aligned Christian people, using a terroristic jihadi organization we created.
That colossal geopolitical mistake was not made unknowingly nor without specific and frankly malevolent purpose.
It shames us.
Juxtapose Russia’s economic resilience with its stout military performance in Ukraine. What do we see? The rise and return of one of the modern world’s great continental powers, independent, defiant, and oh so very dangerous. Multipolar world, indeed.
Stout military performance? They have destroyed their once-formidable reputation. Reinventing WWI is just not that impressive.
Alex on The Duran has been doing his video walk-arounds from Moscow for the last week or so, and I have been absolutely gob-smacked at the beauty of Moscow. It is perfectly maintained, clean with no graffiti, wonderful and pleasant parks, wide sidewalks and pathways, and marvelous architecture. And the people walking around in the background are nicely dressed and well-behaved, adults and children.
In short, it is amazing. And most people who have been to both say that St. Petersburg blows Moscow away. I want to figure out some way to go for a visit.
I’m with you, absolutely stunning, evidence of a cohesive non-fractured high-trust society confident in its identity.
I really enjoy Alex Christoforou, an affable highly intelligent decent man and an excellent observer and narrator, I could listen all day.
If Heaven heals me of my present infirmities, I would give at least a visit a serious shot.
Praying for God’s healing touch, Maquis, in Jesus’ name — be well! Also, I can relate to being a Boomer who is up for more Booming. Hoping a 2024 Trump win will give us that. 🙂
(And yes, if the world situation cools down, I have always wanted to visit Russia — to see Red Square, the Hermitage Museum, and to see St. Basil’s lit up at night!)
😊
What! No drug adicts and tents and card board boxes on the streets. No Antifa and BLMs breaking into store fronts. No college kids shouting defund the police?
What a backwards looking country, this new Russia.
That sounds like the beginning of a very interesting future CTH post.
Why yes, yes it does, and it shall be epic.
Douglas MacGregor detailed many of these datapoints earlier today on his YouTube channel. Russia is prospering, strong, and with a burgeoning military, they’re putting the lie to the Beltway Bull.
All thanks to Joe Biden, Obama and the democrat neocons. And the uniparty.
Sounds like ‘Russia First’ is working for the Russians just as America First was working here, and God willing, again.
Nationalism is always good for the people.
Those policies though are anathema, detrimental, and decisively defeating for the TPTB aka Globalist Elite that wish to enslave and/depopulate We thru their various DS/ICs worldwide that ‘they’ control.
Russia first threw off Bolshevism, and now is separating from the control of the ‘money changers.’ Amazing what they have achieved since decoupling from Western central banking.
Is it any wonder why all of the countries under the control of the Central Bankers hate Russia and are trying to undermine them anyway they can?
On the scale of nations, all roads regarding the attempt to destroy Russia lead to the ‘City.’
Is it any wonder that elements of the UK keep popping up with everything Ukraine from DoD, PM, mercenaries, MI6!
There are no coincidences!
“A fool and his money are soon parted!”
We mustn’t let ‘them’ fool us any longer.
God Bless You, SD!
RamaSWAMPy
Alvida, vivek.
Ramaswamy has flushed himself out in the open.
Now he is fair game. Those that are still in the “blinds” won’t see him for what he is.
An articulate turkey.👀😂
…however “clean and articulate”…
Ramaswampy done.
Fantastic!
Does this mean that the Vivek! fanbois here are going to move on to the next shiny object?
I will not miss the steady stream of posts of how great his maga-lite schtick is.
Thank you God for exposing these frauds.
Well.
Done with him. Just another pro China globalist.
The Indians, Asians in general, are neocons at heart. Globalists, always seeking war, anti-Christian.
It will be interesting to see if his poll numbers tank after this policy blunder.
Watching from germany. The other day I read his postions on China (economic war), which for me means, he does not understand the current state of the world. Which is becoming a multipolar world. And to position the US in this world, takes more than he has to offer. I do bet on Trumps intelligence. Thats my comment from a country in utter decline.
A decline mine participated in creating. 😒
I believe a multi-polar world is a positive, it would be a far more positive if PDJT were to position the United States in a position to prosper and be secure in such a transition, to help forge positive stabilizing institutions; a much less positive shift under the destructive Obama’s Fourth Term bent on predatory everything.
Spent a number of years in the Shnieffel region, whereabouts are you?
Donald Trump’s running mate
Vivek RamaswamyBingo.
Sooner or later, they always out themselves.
Sat what!!!! The tail of the snake isn’t going to happen on our watch he isn’t welcome around these parts. Also sounds like Ron is History there’s a new dumb ass in town
LOL
I knew it.
Clown.
Clearly his heart is not American.
Years ago I had an argument with an NPR-brainwashed friend who thought we were on the right path toward becoming a service economy. I argued that, should that happen completely, we would have no industrial production to support our tax base, no real tangible wealth creation and that I don’t see how that economic model can succeed in the long run. It would be the slow death of this country. Trump understands that, Vivik does not.
Just another fake
I’m shocked, I say, just shocked. And they wonder why we are die hard supporters of President Donald J Trump. Not one of them has a single shred of integrity. They can and will burn in hell. We chose the right man for the job. MAGA forever, whether you evil, pedophile globalists like it or not.
As a former Telecom engineer, I can tell you it is no longer possible to get a new job in the field without going thru an Indian recruiter.
These were and still are high paying jobs starting at $80k and ~200k+ w/ 15yrs experience. The Indian job shops pour in H1 visa candidates who supposedly attend the top tech schools in India, but arrive not even knowing Unix or vi (the oldest, most basic text-file editor embedded within unix).
The Indian job shops charge ~$220k for the know-nothing grads, who personally receive about $30/hour. They put in their required couple of years with their US employer, and learn what’s needed, before transferring their H1 visa to the next employer, where they nearly quadruple their income, and outpace the income of 90%+ of Americans.
It started in the 2000’s Bush admin, and has persisted long enough that now most of the hiring managers of telecom engineering firms are of the same descent, and hire majority their-own.
The same holds true for software engineering, and especially software engineering in the telecom discipline. How the US recovers from this deep hole is beyond imagination.
There was hope that PDJT would address this issue, as it was brought to his attention on several public occassions. Sadly, it was not to be, and likely will never change at this point.
In summary, not only have we exported all our manufacturing capability, but we’ve imported an entire new classe for all our engineering capability as well. Locals need not apply.
New class, or new caste?
Caste….and Indians are ALL about caste
…not to caste aspersions, of course…🤠
I visited a relative in Alpharetta, GA this year, and noticed a large Indian population in the area. It is a nice area too. I immediately thought the visa program was importing a high number of workers at the expense of the American worker.
You are correct
I live near there. It has become unrecognizable in the past few years. Alpharetta is the tech hub of Atlanta,unfortunately, it has been invaded by Californians and Indians.
And their code sucks beyond too! Rework, rework, rework by onshore Americans
HUGE mistake by Vivek. I really liked him but this is a total deal breaker.
That said, my support of Vivek was always tempered by the idea that he might not be a natural born citizen. Someone had said that his parents weren’t citizens when he was born here but I haven’t been able to find out the truth of his birth circumstances anywhere. If his parents didn’t naturalize until after he was born (and didn’t relinquish their Indian citizenships) then he wouldn’t be a natural born citizen.
But … with this idiotic position he renders that whole issue moot, anyway.
Question, can you honestly see Americans voting for an Indian President after the Kenyan disaster that keeps on giving?
Vivek bears no relation to Barky, at all. If he’s a natural born citizen and didn’t support the TPP he would be my third choice, enthusiastically, and I think that lots of people could vote for him (in that instance). He has nothing in common with Barky, who not only hates America but is a mind-numbing retard, on top of it.
But … I suspect that Vivek is not a natural born citizen and his TPP stance is a deal breaker for me, so that does it for him. Sadly, I would say. I really liked the guy and he was on point on almost all of the issues.
Doesn’t matter. It’s two generations of natural born citizens to qualify. Not including him.
No, it isn’t. It’s being a natural born citizen, which means American parents (and just American, though naturalized is fine) and born in America. That’s it.
Correct.
Hard enough to get folks to understand it as it is.
This new element suggesting parents must be NBC as well is a confusion too far.
DC Draino did not tweet Ramaswsmy’s complete response and the abbreviated clip did not provide the context of Vivek’s response.
This is exactly the same crap the Left does to Trump all the time. Putting out snippets of his comments that give the wrong impression.
Read the entire Breitbart article, which explains Ramaswamy’s position well, instead of getting twisted over excerpts that are misleading.
You are free to provide excerpts from the article to support your assertions.
Demanding others go see what you insist they will see there is kinda lazy, no?
Whether you are paid or an avid amateur, you surely can commit that much effort to your cause.
Sometimes it is what they do not say. I have listened to enough speeches of his at campaign stops to understand Vivek is not MAGA. In Sundance’s Venn Diagram, Vivek covers the woke part but the only thing he addresses in the Economic area that is the heart of MAGA is that he is for capitalism.
When all they truly talk about it the woke part, they are not MAGA. Vivek is not MAGA. Vivek is a Decepticon Splitter.
I’ve no doubt you are correct.
💁♀️
I trust Sundance. I don’t trust Breitbart. They have an agenda. Perhaps you do, too. Perhaps that’s why you called me a racist earlier. Your candidate, for whom you are clearly stumping for a Treehouse audience wise to your motives, stepped in it big time with his TPP comments, and the way you’re spinning for him now reeks of the same kind of desperation as the DeSantis grifters all over Twitter.
Breitbart is NeverTrump.
Go seek life elsewhere
Okay…
I bit. I read the BB article, and saw nothing in it that made VR’s position more palatable.
I think Sundance hit the nail squarely on the head….AGAIN!
That’s one of their ploys, make an assertion, provide no evidence but insist if people would only “educate” themselves by going off to read elsewhere they’d finally be enlightened, and that elsewhere turns out to be utterly void of substance or meaning.
Trolling tactics, nothing more.
WHO CARES?
Screw Ramashitty!
I never trusted him given his background with the WEF and the CCP…despite FauxNews’ frequent attempts to MAGA-ize him.
…and he reminds me of Tom Haverford from Parks & Recreation.
Very disappointing news….
