So true, and don't forget: Stealing Neighbouring Countries Resources!

I think you're referring to America's financial fragility, Owesjoo? Got that right! 3.8B$ a year could go a long wain helping our 'deplorable'; even more so the outrageous costs of invasions to please them! Not that any "worked"...just made their major benefactor broker.
And here goes a bizarre question: the world is scattered with vacant land, abandoned homes, empty stores. Would any sane person, without a land deed, be INsane enough to invest in renovations??? - or building on them???
Of course not. That's the future of the "Settlers".

I think Ron Unz's idea of shutting down Adelson's casinos in Macau is RIGHT ON!
I actually do follow business, and have read his casinos in Macau are in fact more profitable than Las Vegas! (Getting conspirital, one does have to wonder what that shooting was all about - still not solved by LV police - that just happened to take place in a MGM hotel, a major competitor.)
Moving on, one has to question America's 'Judicial' system recently: They sued French Alstom for such a fortune (1 1/2 Bil$), General Electric bought for a song. The irony is GE is about bankrupt now; may have to sell it back! Boeing claimed Canadian Bombardier* (making a plane size Boeing doesn't make) sued for tariffs for doing such a capitalist thing. Even Boeing was embarrassed: asking for 40%, the 'Justice' Dept. gave them - yes, no typo - 227%!! The only way out was selling it to Airbus, which now owns it.
*One would think after this catastrophe Trudeau would think twice about trusting USA. Though I'll add here, no one was jailed; just went home in their limos & 5* hotels.
The kidnapping of a high executive crosses a line; this is Gangster stuff. And gangsters never make quality products....

Yeah-Stottel! And let's no forget Sept 11! FORCING NATO to enter a war the 'powers' still have no factual evidence Afghanistan had any thing to do with! So mothers cry in EU & USA, over children lost.
They should do some homework - before their Grandchildren are sacrificed for ANOTHER catastrophe - only for the Oligarch's benefit....

Agreed gone again. What's going on is not free market capitalism, but outright theft. As for China "theft" of high tech secrets, how the hell are they going to build a Boeing landing gear or turbine without divulging "secrets"?
Bottom line is Boeing is more interested in stock profits than their well paid workforce in USA. No one can have it both ways: cheap labor & high quality production. American industry still uses our State Dept; & Military - at US taxpayers expense - for their own greed.
The false arrest of Ms. Wanszhou says more about Apple than her company!

Good article, and let's not forget about the old 'White Russians', who tried to rob the country back then. Didn't work, and in fact the stakes are far higher today: Russia has far more valuable natural resources than the 'Whites' ever imagined.
Great Britain frittered away their North Sea oil, thanks to Thatcher's harebrained idea of giving the wealth to City of London, instead of infrastructure and social needs.
Causing trouble with Russia is EU's last chance to balance their dismal deficit books.
Last chance! lol

Oh boy, RBHoughton, is that the truth, what you write. Wish to hell you are wrong of course - for Poland's sake - but from my experience dealing with Poles, you're not. They're not a 'bad' people by any means, but when things go wrong, "it's always someone else's fault". Their foolishness of buying into the 'Chicago School' economics doctrine, which you bring up, a case in point: they'll argue all night defending Milton Friedman/Ayn Rand philosophies. Then find a scapegoat, like, you guessed it, 'Russia'!, when things take a tailspin.

That's right ftballplaya99!
I still have my hopes up though: if they're dumb enough to believe that, I have a bridge to sell them spanning from Manhattan to Brooklyn!

Yes Cathi; that's my sad point.

Well 'sad guest', I think you also have a "very realistic analysis". I live in Rumsfeld's 'old Europe' and they had more brains in 2003 than now. Back then, they saved themselves a fortune not being ripped off by USA's MIC; today crazily throwing away an ENORMOUS potential market!
Their disgraceful behavior last week over 'G7' or is it 'G6+1', or is it back to 'G8' - Putin gave them the best answer: "We're not that interested". In fact, Russia is copying their famous cheeses & sauces in where else? Their Orthodox Monasteries! (People forget coffee, chocolate, were mysteries to the Spanish Empire: Basque Monasteries solved the problem.)
Putin saved the best for the most vile Russophobe: collapsed Empire Britain. When accused of poisoning the Scirlpal's, he said: "No it's not me. If it was, they'd be dead!"
