We can protect our economy Putin

[mramp83]

Europe although I'll admit is a cultural and historical jewl and asset to the world, yet they had to band together because they couldn't make it. If it wasn't for Russia and Brittan, your "euro power" would be worthless.

[ViriathusVingathor]

And if it wasn´t for the EU strength,UK and Russia(in a lesser extent) would be screwed.

[DylanTvz]

Russian Power! Euro Power Usa Sux

Великий Путин.

[Killazer]

Russias reserves seem to be falling fast as well as the ruble according to the media.... Russians need to hope Putin really knows what he is doing.

[piancu]

I want to see how the Russian economy will be doing when oil goes down to $20 a barrel :-)

[auckie]

It's not going to 20. It's going to 60.

When the dust settles the world will forge on and forget about america.

[giousanet]

Real facts of Russian aggression

[Killazer]

If Russia had 300 million + population it would be a superpower still but unfortunately its population is still decreasing. Russia has massive natural resources which only become more important as the world population increases so Russia can remain a resource superpower of sorts and also a major military power but in terms of its domestic economy it doesnt have the population really I dont think.. not yet at least.

[CristinaSantos1986]

I fear the future of the United States within 25 years if us Americans do not take action and change our greedy ways :S

[KARStarla]

25 years? Look to the next 25 days or a few months, heck we are having economic earthquakes and waiting to be swallowed up alive under the huge debt

[google2com]

I agree...I am chinese but I have deepest respect for America, especially president Obama...but actionas HAS to done as quickly as possible...China has already put out $3 trillion RMB LAST year as a stimulous package....USA congress is STILL going through the stimulous package plan!!! A big change needs to be carried through is long overdue.

[LOJANOS]

LOl, The world of Reality!

Go back to sleep!

[peevedgrl]

Why does the Illuminati hate Putin? He said FUCK no. Way to go Putin!!!!!!!!

[firstwave2]

yea i dont think the Illuminati likes him to very much-at all. He seems to be putting pressure on them from all directions !

[KARStarla]

I thought Putin was a 33 degree mason?

[trud2kop]

I heard 2 possible versias. one says the soviets through out the illuminati, knowing that they had their own agenda. other is that the illuminati was the one who produced the red revolution. russia's economy is not really affected from the west illuminati's conpiracy against the world economy right now.

[pmf026]

You confusing him with GWB and his father.

[schin2119]

Putin!!!!Putin!!!! Brovo! Danke !!!!Spasibo!!!! Cox sagol!!!!!! Tesekkütler!!!!! Spasibooooooo!!!

[wizann39]

His leadership is sexy!

[avargas2001]

hey hoktula you ever seen videos of Bin Laden in wich he explains how USA could be taken down like Russia ? you should it was an interview by PBS. with the banks in USA going belly up now Bin Laden's theory is more and more sound, Russia made the same mistake USA is making right now wich is to over expand their capacity, it would be a waste for everyone to arm themselves to ther teeth rather then invest in social programs for integration.

[hoktula]

nope, I didn't - perhaps you can post its link here.

u r right. but there is too much going on "on the top" (or perhaps rather "under" - as in iceberg analogy) - that we are allowed to see only the surface of the geopolitical games.

but Russia has made its own National Reserve Fund at least. in US there are non. only 5 states have such fund, and some of those funds are private or semi-private (as in Alaska). so, may be Russia has learned some lessons. US though is been squeezed dry.

[avargas2001]

ok I agree the interpreter didn't have much time to translate everything 100% but he did get my atention.

[hoktula]

oh ! you have no idea ! (I do :) I've done simultaneous interpretation more than once - although not on such big conferences).

in fact - there is NO time at all! you have to follow what speaker is saying, process it in your mind instantly (=interpret, i.e. convey the MEANING, not word to word), pronounce it in comprehensive form for auditory, and yet - make sure you do not loose the thread of what speaker saying next. it is TOUGH! and speaker doesn't stop - he doesn't even hear you!

[igorvasilevsky]

nervous georgian clown ;)

[avargas2001]

finally Putin found the hole in the world economy, why would anyoe use U$ dollars when that is what is used to control plitics, money ! I mean if the government doesn't trust its own money how can they expect investors to put capital in a local venture.

[hoktula]

nope, not "finally" - he's announced these plans already back in 2006 !

and b4 that - it was ... Saddam who has stopped trade in $ and switched to € back in 2001. for that he was punished.

now it's Iran's turn. coz since 2007 they also started to trade oil in €, Yen and Rials, and even said will do in rubles.

since Feb 2008 their Kish bourse already trades in €.

wait till ASEAN start sell rice in € !

they'll form OREC (Organisation of Rice Exporting Countries) similar to OPEC

[CruzDeEisen]

* WITH working brains <-- correction

yes, reading all the retarded comments from the American Idiots on this board can be hazardous to one's IQ. Green Day was right ;)

[avargas2001]

wow can someone re do the translation of this clip, please...

[elegyrulz]

China is not stealing american wealth its the rich rulers of this govt the capitalis vultures who are stealing it!

[hoktula]

kudo to you, dude ! :)

those vultures are too vicious and clever to disguise it as Chinese fault. China actually ONLY plays according to strictly professional business laws of free market. as someone said: 'for a bunch of commies - they are excellent capitalists' !

[cobakaadene]

This translator, ...is bad.

[AtilladHun]

He is pretty good actually, this is instantaneous translation like that in the UN, not an overlay translation.

[hoktula]

exactly ! finally at least one person got the difference !

it's not the translator (actually interpreter) bad - it is simply too hasty footage by RT. if at least they could reduce or remove Putin's voice - then it would be easier to follow interpreter's voice.

but then, this NON edited record has advantage: it is AS it is, or was heard by the participants (as guy beside Putin with headphones) of the conference ! nothing is added/ changed / taken out.

[ZB90]

Instead of worrying about Russia pay more attention to China! They took our jobs, my JOB too and soon everyone's job!

[ImJustSkyo]

plus, China is buying USA's debts from other countries, and one day they'll probably demand all of it back... can you imagine the crisis?

[dkrustyklown]

Bonds have set terms. The owner of a bond can't just, "demand all of it back".

Bonds don't pay you until they mature.

That's how it works.

[hoktula]

precisely ! chinese patiently wait out US. it'll collapse itself due to its own corrupt monetary system (watch?v=Wnmo41TbK_Q) and corporate fascism (NOT my term - watch Aaron Russo or John Pilger or William Pepper!).

meanwhile China not only buys out US debts - it also secures ALL whatever possible energy supply sources in Africa, Asia, S. America - on much better and profitable conditions !

watch?v=1CjqneuwMEU (and its other 4 parts)

"China - The Power Shift Part I,II:

[hoktula]

well, I sympathize you.

but it was rather your own neo-con government's doing. China is as in that movie: "crouching tiger hidden dragon" ! ;)

they do not hurry, they abide their time. talking in terms of business - they do "longs", while not ignoring the "shorts".

as for "demand back"... well, it'll be enough for them to simply dump their $ reserves - and specialists say it'll be worse than nuke for US !

search for DonMcalvany channel and watch their few clips ! ;)

Our Engineer jobs, duh?

[c172kid]

We technically let them take our jobs, by us deciding to not manufacture shit in our own country. Haha now our government doesn't even want the new Air Force One to be built by any U.S. Plane Manufacture.

[ghengisKhan123]

Russian stocks went up 23% today. :)

[y4m5m5]

fuck all you russian fag losers. Long live the USA, We will bury you soon!!!!!!!!!!!!

[akula2shark]

Go and see your face in the mirror!

[ghengisKhan123]

y4m5m5, usa is bankrupt,plus it will be thrid world soon. The white americans are dying off and mixing with the blacks and others. Soon usa will be all black race and be thrid world like africa. :)

[akula2shark]

ghengisKhan123: Trust me, no one likes to be a third world country. In fact all these divisions of the world is really bad. Who got the right to tag as 1st, 2nd, 3rd etc? Anyway, world needs a solid Russia and USA not uncertain and nerve-wracking cold war kinda period. Hope Americans realize this very soon!

[hoktula]

well, ultimately you've exposed yourself for what you really are - a flaming TROLL !

no point to reasoning with you anymore.

[seseljsrs]

Today is a great opportunity for PM Putin and President Medvedev to have the Russian government and courts re-examine those energy agreements negotiated during the Yeltsin era to the disadvantage of Russia.

These disputes were set aside far too long for the sake of "higher interests.

[nuttierthanthou]

get a new translator

[hoktula]

I've already explained to another guy - this is NOT a translator, but an interpreter. and then, not ordinary consecutive interpreter - but simultaneous. and it is just a record of LIVE footage - not of TV pre-edited report. RT simply recorded his voice as it was during the conference itself, as all participants listened to it - RT didn't have time to make a consecutive "post-interpretation" as normally all TV news do. and it means - NO censoring, unlike pre-edited news reports.

[drvojislavseselj]

putin 4 ever

[y4m5m5]

Russia is a super bully. Failed economy, Failed History. russian people are o.k. Your goverment (putin) Sucks!! Russian storm troopers leave Georgia now!!!!!!!!

[Naminator236]

Dude Putin did so much for Russia! He brought it out grave that Yeltsin and his Pro-West/USA leadership, and people of Russia love Putin for it and would re-elect him any day!

There was so much more shit with Yeltsin, crappy economy, more war and more people dead! US or the West seem to be very quite about Russia in those times, why? because they wanted it to die, and now that it's going back up! Every little damn think is getting criticized about our government!

So fuck you all!

[hoktula]

russia is a survivor. Unlike US, for example, its own soil has been invaded by too many times and too many countries. say, do you even know that US troops has participated in war against Russia back in 1918 (WWI) ? search for "Expedition Polar bear". however I can't remember Russians invading US territory - unless take into consideration Alaska, which WAS Russian till sold to US for pennies.

and yet it is Russia who is 'bully', huh?

[hoktula]

only in 20th century alone (WWI, Civil War & WWII) - so many countries has been trying HARD to finish off Russia. all the Poles, Czechs, Hungarians, Romanians, Croats - those who now ear too eager to join chorus of russia-bashing - they forget that their armies marched russian soil and tried to rip it apart. not to mention French, Brits, Germans, Italians and yes Yanks - in fact even some Aussies too !

but sure - it is Russia who's "bully" !

[hoktula]

"Failed economy"?

why then Time magazine chose Putin as a man of the year 2007, ever wondered? well, go to their website - they explain why. whatever Putin is - he's rebuilt the economy. for that alone he already deserves credit. and many non-Russians give it to him.

"Failed History"?

it is total BS. the very fact that it still exists as the LARGEST country in the world, and independent and thriving - is enough evidence that you're wrong ! russia survived time and again despite many odds.

[hoktula]

talking about History a bit more...

Russia has been under Golden Horde few centuries. then other invaders which are too many to mention. the most large - Napoleon's 200 years back, and Hitler's 60 years back.

Russia was able not only repel those invaders, and destroy them utterly - it was also able to remain sovereign. and more - to develop and even thrive !

I try to imagine where US would've been if it had as much assault on its soil during past 200y.? ;)

[LOJANOS]

If Russia decides to sell its oil or gas for Rubles you can expect other countries to do the same!

[hoktula]

oh, but it wasn't Russia who's started it! the first as I recall was Saddam who back in 2001 switched to Euro ALL his oil / oil products trade. and he was punished for that - there are many analysis proving that it was actual reason of Iraq invasion, not WMD.

then, Iran has already started trading in basket of currencies in Feb '08. Venezuela stopped trade in $ and barters its oil for commodities or goods. so, Russia is actually a bit late. but it's gonna happen!

[LOJANOS]

Stop trying to explain to people things they already know!

This is the first super power that matters the rest are sideshows!

[hoktula]

well, I can say whatever I like to say - you can't stop me. and if you don't like to hear what you might already know - then 1st of all YOU should stop saying things people already know - why don't you? otherwise you demand from others what you don't do yourself, huh?

re "superpower" - the current events in the world show many signs that pretty soon it will seize to be a superpower at all. coz

[LOJANOS]

Maybe when you start a conversation with somone you should consider that they may already know what you are typing to them directly!

I posted my comment to the video!

You contacted me directly!

Who will seize to be a superpower Russia or the United States?

Russia will always be a Superpower period!

[xenzuva]

However the more generally accepted theory of a "multi-polar" world in which "ALL COUNTRIES" have a say. Would such a multi-polar world accept a Hitler's Germany as part of its consortium? How about Satan's Terrorist Rulers of USA???? Ask yourselves. A working world system cannot afford (in economic or humanitarian terms) to have such traitors/traders in its loop.

[hoktula]

I guess in the frame of such theory - those countries will be considered and dealt with according to the combined opinion of that consortium. which is, say, if other "poles" see that one "pole" causes the imbalance - it can't be possibly treated the same way as those who contribute to balance.

that's I think the inherent quality of the new system: its main idea is that all its parts are inter-dependent, rather than all follow 1 superpower. I think that's how UN supposed to be.

[igorvasilevsky]

to all stupid anti-Russians:

Today indexs of Russian Banks jumped on 30-40%! They rised! So FUCK YOU, loosers)) You can only blame Russia in all mortal sins, but reality is that Russia is a superpower and truth is always with Russia.

[CruzDeEisen]

Thank you. I'm American, and I hope that soon the Americans among me with a working brains can free my country from the idiots who eat up the shit corporate media and Dick Cheney's corporate cronies feed them. I love Russians, and I hope you prosper and keep standing up to the rancid old men who are trying to bring your great country down. Slava Rossii :) hope I spelled it correctly!

[y4m5m5]

putin is a liar

[jayblaze12]

lol

[hoktula]

yeah - but hey, comparing to Bush dynasty (grand-pa, dad and son) - he is a "lesser evil" ;)

this is talking in terms of US elections '08 (Obama Vs McCain)

[mima11vlad]

of course we can protect our economy ...

Russia is a superpower

[KARStarla]

The translator does suck

[hoktula]

this is NOT a "translator"! he is an "interpreter". and it is actual real LIVE simultaneous (aka "synchronized") interpretation.

so, b4 you pass some judgment at all, do at least a little bit Googling to get at least slight idea about the difference between 1) a "translation" and "interpretation"; and then 2) between "consecutive" and "simultaneous" interpretation !

very few "consecutive" interpreters can do "simultaneous" at all for even 5-10 min ! and this guy is OK !

[KARStarla]

Why dont you google for some prozac lol... you need some

"Translator or interpreter" whatever it doesnt take a brain surgeon to figure out what I was saying. Besides... what do you want? I have a U.S education and I'm certainly no Einstein. I'll put it this way (avoiding the google search altogether) the dude speaking for Putin sucked in my opinion and maybe I was a little harsh because sometimes I can get an attitude and I had one when I posted sorry

You his grandkid or something? lol

[kerier1911]

are you MacCains then? lol

[KARStarla]

Thats a dumb assertion given I havent jumped on anyone downing him, disnt you read the context of the conversation?

[akula2shark]

Cheers, markets are up by solid 20%. Russia needs to cover more ground (of the August high). This is great news from RTS.

[1BuckeyeNation]

I laugh every time I here Putin and Medvedev blame America for Russias financial situation. If it rains today in Moscow it will be the result of Hurricane Ike that started in America. All the ills in Russia is Americas fault.

This translator sucks! That's Americas fault too I guess.

[akula2shark]

Yes, you are an ignorant as* who don't know why the global stock markets are falling due to the exposure to the US Financial system and DOW. Don't be happy about Russia, worry about what's gonna happen to AIG and others. And answer to your people whose hard earned $180 Billion gonna be pumped in those sagging markets for the sake of vaporizing liquidity!

[1BuckeyeNation]

Please explain to me without name calling if you can why the American stock market with all it's problems has not dropped 60% like the Russian MICEX? The dollar denominated RTS has lost a lesser percentage than the Ruble denominated MICEX. So if you could please explain this to me. By the way the AIG deal cost US taxpayers a $85 billion dollar loan at 11% interest and a 79.9% share of the company that will make US taxpayers money in the end while stabilizing our financial situation.

[akula2shark]

1BuckeyeNation: Me get no pleasure by name calling. Don't you know the reasons? America is basically a good market oriented economy. Russia is a newly born democracy and an emerging BRIC power economy. There is huge difference between the two and it's financial systems, which hugely depend on factors like Geography, political tensions, dependency etc. So, very it's unfair to compare US and Russia. You can do, say after 15-20 years when Russia matures with a good democracy and market systems!

[akula2shark]

1BuckeyeNation: Yes, was talking $180 Billion as entire bail out package available to many uncertain and volatile banks here. Right $85 means for AIG which is actually huge money burden for the America's taxpayer! God forbid nothing bizarre happens to the newly pumped public money. Else everybody in the USA and the most of the regions in the world (markets) will suffer badly. Countries like India are better planned, maybe it's a wake up call for Russia to cut off dependency like India does!

[1BuckeyeNation]

Brother all I said in my original post was Putin blames the US for the problems in the Russian economy and by what you have told me in your last 2 posts is that it's not America's fault but that Russia is not yet prepared to weather the global financial system.I think it is easier for Russian leadership to blame the American boogyman instead of taking responsibility for kicking out certain foreign investors and stealing their investments which scared many more investors away from Russian markets

[akula2shark]

1BuckeyeNation: I see, then China? India? Are they not yet prepared to weather the Global financial system? IT IS the problem in the USA because the big bomb was sub prime got pis*ed off. FYI, personally i own few things in the USA. So am well experienced (almost about to burn my fingers in a home investment but took a decision ahead in the right time!) My dear, who kicked out the foreign investors? Don't you know the 'volatile' state in ANY markets? Remember Mexico's $40 Billion bailout?

[1BuckeyeNation]

No China has a problem were they devalue their currency and don't allow it to be traded on the open market and they have raised interest rates to the point were money is unavailable and China's biggest customer the USA will have to cut back spending which will hurt their bottom line. I can't address India's financial problem as I'm ignorant to their monetary and financial policies. The US financial situation should hurt the US economy more than the Russian and Chinese as it is our economy.

[valkyrieQueensrf50lb]

China is robbing usa blind. Their the real enemy of Usa, bu americans have bad habits and look at past.

[1BuckeyeNation]

Why do you say that China is our enemy? We have a very interesting yet young relationship with this country. I don't like a lot of things China does but they don't like a lot of what we do and we still have good relations for the most part.

[valkyrieQueensrf50lb]

China is stealing your prosperity. All the American made business are being sold off to China. They americans will have no jobs in the future while China takes over.

[1BuckeyeNation]

China is doing our old school jobs but I'm not exactly happy about how it is all working out but China's citizens prospering while America transitions its economy may be good for the whole world in the end. I am a bit of a protectionist and do see problems with sending certain jobs overseas like car manufacturing but we will be introducing some very cool stuff to the world very soon from our national laboratories that will put Americans to work.

[VictorWasechkin]

the brain drain is already reversed, and your laboratories will just lack scientists soon. Russia is the new center of science.

[1BuckeyeNation]

OK UC Berkeley fan. I guess the US should bow down to Medvedev and Putin Universities of hard knocks. Your a funny person.

[resistnowresistnow]

Valkyrie: Neocons (Fed, Bush/Cheney/Rove and Mussolini himself - Kissinger) did the stealing. They've bankrupted the US w/largest transfer of wealth in known history; FROM middleclass US TO elite 15 families (supercorpa.)

W/US on the chopping block fire sale, China is our curious saviour, buying up everything from real estate to US Treasury, and slowing the collapse. If we're very very lucky, they may buy us out completely and avert total global collapse.

Manny Two-Shoes

[1BuckeyeNation]

Russia refused to extend BP-TNK presidents visa and kicked him out of the country at which time TNK consolidated BP's investment in Russia stealing their financial assets and held them for ransom with the help of the Russian government and if you look at the start of the decline in the Russian markets that is when it began. I remember Mexico paying the loan off quickly.

[valkyrieQueensrf50lb]

1BuckeyeNation, that is not true, Russian government offer to by BP stake in the company, Bp didn't lose any money.

[1BuckeyeNation]

They held it for ransom. "Sell it to us or your kicked out" is not the way you do business in the global economy. Or shouldn't do business this way but it was and it scared other investors because if they can do it to BP they can do it to anyone.

[valkyrieQueensrf50lb]

Bp stolen that company during Yeltsin through fraud. They have to pay what they stolen back. Bp is still their they weren't kicked out because they paid what they owned.

[1BuckeyeNation]

Last I checked the company was created while Putin was in office. If you have other information I would like to hear it please. BP was allowed back into the country after BP ceded control to TNK's three billionaire backers that seized BP's assets.

[xenzuva]

The current trend of extreme and rapid ups and downs will continue until there is no global (or even American) market as people know it. People are confused when they think it is the market itself that it is causing the crisis. The problem is the formula upon which the market is built- the "American Dream" formula- that was created to bring the world into subservience to the US military complex- uni-polar NWO. Time for preparation for resistance.
