He makes some good points. It has stabilized their financial system (no more casino gambling) and increased local production. Russia is a big country with many resources to it can produce a lot on their own.

I wish America was sanctioned and isolated so we could rid the country of the globalists.

Globalism cannot be reversed, especially now that the disclosure of alien contact has started.

Humans of the far future will likely associate more with their species and planet than with their country.

Glad to hear your dictator is spinning the sanctions the US placed on your country.

Good, since they are so happy with it, we would be glad to throw a heck of a lot more sanctions on top of all that...
but you will be good, since it's so good for Russia.

Putin can wax lyrical as much as he wants, the truth being that the Australian economy is nearly as big as the Russian economy and may yet over take the Russian Economy.

Australia has a population of around 25 million, whilst Russia has a population of 145 million.

Everyone knows that Russia simply can not afford to upkeep many parts of it's military, and it's elderly tank fleet is not being replaced, whilst it has had to make cuts to defence expenditures.

Putin tries to deflect from economic woe by playing the big man on the world stage, and constantly talking up Russia, however the reality is very different.

How can there be “sanctions” and then a completed Nord Stream 2 at the same time?

Absolute stupidity is what it is. The US “protects” Germany from Russia, while at the same time, Germany sends billions to Russia to buy their natural gas.

Trump points this out and the DNC propaganda state run media goes nuts.

Russia is not our enemy. But if you are bought and paid for by China, you pretend Russia is the enemy.

Globalism is the inevitable outcome of a desire to control the world's resources, wealth, and people. Globalism was inevitable the moment civilization was created, and has been greatly accelerated by finance and technology.

No idea what you mean by this. But certainly, if there is a one-world government where the vast majority of people are transient(you will own nothing and be happy), then we would probably be more attached to the national or transnational government than to local municipalities. For instance, most people in California are from somewhere else, and they move from city to city, job to job. It is hard to imagine an immigrant being attached to anywhere.

Who is more powerful, Russia(GDP 1.7 trillion), Germany(GDP 3.86 trillion), or Japan(GDP 5 trillion)?

What is GDP really? Does it rate production? Money? And what role does finance play in inflating those numbers? What is purchasing power parity? What is international influence? If Russia is so poor, why are we so afraid of Russia? Why is Europe so afraid of Russia?

1) Increased prices can encourage labor-saving innovations.

2) Markets need competition, but you only need a few competitors, not hundreds, thousands, etc. Big business is generally far more efficient than small business. The most efficient markets only have three to five competitors per industry.
