Hi, this is Dr.
Pchenik and Steve Talks.
Today I want to talk a little bit about my friend Vladimir Putin, the President of Russia.
Who made some comments that were a little bit disconcerting to me about the fact that America is not really a superpower anymore.
It's making a lot of mistakes, as in the Kosoji affair, we're in the Middle East, and our dollar's going down.
Let me put a little bit of reality testing, Vladimir.
Number one, you said that the BRIC nations would be the ones that would surpass America.
Let's go into a little more detail.
The BRIC nations are as follows.
Brazil, Russia, India, and China.
Brazil, as you know, has three presidents in prison.
The present candidate for the presidency has a knife in his stomach and he's in the hospital.
You have corruption, infrastructure problems.
India has an increased gross domestic rate of 25%, but its median income is 7,000.
And it's rife with corruption and incompetency.
Then we come to China, which we've talked about before.
Xi has a real problem with the decrease of the yuan.
The economy is regressing.
And he has a suppressed government.
And now we talk about Russia.
Your country is replete with corruption, incompetency, and you know very well that the ruble is not stable.
That in fact the ruble is falling down and your exports of oil can be controlled by us.
Now, let me remind you of several things before you came to power.
There were those of us, including myself, who were involved in the takedown of the Soviet Union.
It did not take I think?
We played with your currency and depreciated.
Number two, we knocked out your bond rating.
Number three, we were able to convince your military that it wasn't very strong and effective.
And number four, we convinced your leaders to resign.
Now you might remember Yeltsin was an alcoholic.
And Gorbachev was a very nice engineer, but not very effective in controlling Russia or the remnants of the Soviet Union.
Now you have the ability and the power to control Russia, whatever that means.
But in doing so, you have to remember that you have a partner in the United States.
If you intend to go against us, let me remind you the following.
We have 722 bases in 222 countries.
Around the periphery of China and Russia alone, we have close to 120 bases surrounding you and China.
Number three, when you decided to send the Wagner Group, your mercenaries that were division of GRU, your military intelligence, against our special forces in February 2018, we were restrained and General Mattis or Secretary of Defense Mattis We're
good to go.
Which were part of the Wagner Group.
None of our special forces were injured or hurt.
The point is very simple.
Don't mess with the United States.
If you want to play with our internet, fine.
But we will counter-hack you to the point where you will be very, very disturbed.
Because we can, if we need to, shut down your economy, as I said.
Playing your currencies, decreasing your bond rating, And doing all kinds of infrastructure damage that would put you back for years.
We don't want to do that.
We need you as a force in the Far East and over South Asia.
Now let me quote Vladimir Putin who said, in order to be right, you have to be alone sometimes.
But also let me quote you again, Vladimir Putin, who said, in order to be...
Take out corruption.
You have to be honest.
Remember that, Vladimir.
You have to be honest with yourself.
