Andy Mok spent two years at the RAND Corp where he conducted research on the impact of technology on China's financial system and helped publish "The United States and a Rising China: Strategic and Military Implications".
He holds an MBA from the Wharton School and an MA in China Studies from the Johns Hopkins School for Advanced International Studies where he was awarded the Loe Fellowship for Excellence in China Studies. He is also a CPA and has an undergraduate degree in Accounting from the University of Maryland.
This is his analysis of of what he calls the USA's 'Three Wars' currently taking place. The economic ramifications of these events are just starting and will be fascinating to see how this plays out.

Thanks for the link. Fair viewpoint as well, It shows the overreacting arrogant nature of the US Military Regime. It’s not hard to disagree that those illegal sanctions instigated by this evil regime will backfire on them and all the bullied Countries that follow these US demands. The big trouble about all this is the US military Regime and it’s mad Generals will resort to a Nuclear strike first policy and to hell with the consequences.

Death threats for JK Rowling who merely says biological sex matters.
That's all it takes in this current climate.
neoliberalism deciding just where the line is for acceptable violent misogyny.
Former Finnish intelligence officer on Russia and why Russian attitudes baffle Westerners. Sadly, he held little hope of anything changing.
(2018)
In my experience at the core of Russian society is a deep rooted paranoia. At least partly justified by their medieval history and partly by a century of marxist misrule.
All this might not matter so much but the Kremlin itself, staffed by ex-FSBKGB types who themselves are professional paranoiacs, and unwilling to acknowledge much less repudiate their 20th century catastrophes, continues to steer their people down a dark path.
But otherwise an interesting clip, well worth watching.
But ultimately Russia is going to collapse demographically – it already has a pathetic economy and their critically thin generation of 20-30 yrs olds who represent the future are going to be crushed by isolation from the world.
Watched a documentary about vodka and Russian's black market. Scary stuff. BBC Two This World Vodka's my poison.
