I live in the United States. I wish people around the world could see how bad it is here. Listen, on average, the United States has about two mass shootings a day. Yesterday a couple towns over from me the police had a standoff with an armed man next to a crowded mall. A few months ago there was a shooting at that same mall. Aside from the shootings, there are people here that die instead of going to the hospital because the medical debt would financially ruin them. The educational system here is terrible. Teachers are overwhelmed and are quitting. Public transportation is abysmal, the roads are cracked and full of potholes in the state I live, and there are entire settlements of homeless people in this country. My husband and I both work full time jobs, twelve hour days, and we can only afford one car. Not to mention the astronomical amount of people here on anti depressants and anti anxiety medication. It's extremely expensive to live here for a sub-par life. Meanwhile the elite sit in their ivory towers and tell us that all of this is the price to pay for living in the "bEsT cOuNtRy iN tHe wOrLd".

As the old saying goes, "generals always prepare for the last war" - and this apparently applies to current western leaders as well. But the world has changed: The US is no longer that benevolent beacon of democracy we used to know and admire; it is now a warmongering, toxic, bullying plutocracy in serious decline and practically at war with itself. This is why it is quickly losing the world's respect. At the same time, the Chinese communists have also evolved and remain communist in name only, having co-opted its former ideological enemy, free market capitalism, as its principal economic tool, while implementing technocratic meritocracy to get great things done. While most people in the US leadership are lawyers, in China they are engineers. What does this tell you about the future?

Fully in agreement with your statement. Spot on regarding the leadershipclass of the West. Real leaders eat last and real leaders take care of their people.

Vladimir Putin has used the same expression in many of his interviews and speeches. “They step on the same rake twice and keep stepping on the same rake. “ Always glad to hear from you.

The problem for the West is that Putin is a chess grandmaster while they are amateurs at checkers

Once again, thank you Gonzalo. Your wisdom is crucial in this fight we're in.

Makes sense to me. The level of incompetence is mind numbing. I've wondered for a long time if there is any competent people below the leaders yet haven't seen anything that gives me hope. They're a bunch of clueless neoliberal zealots.

I visited Russia twice so far this year, and they’re doing just fine.

It’s in the mindset of JB, Zelensky, Morawiecki, Duda, Niinisto, Marin, Yun Sok-Yeol that according to their actions the liberated civilians aren’t entitled to live in peace. It’s a mindset so dark, so chilling, so brutal and so very evil.

Totally agreed, I watch a channel called Long Island Audit where the activist travels all over the US to Government offices to make sure all the public servants and police officers know and respect our 1st amendment rights. 99% of the time, they don't! "There's always cameras recording us, but it seems to always be an issue when we record them."

Russia did everything possible to avoid this conflict. When you give children dynamite to play with a tragedy is inevitable.

Study narcissistic personality disorder and you will understand them perfectly

Gonzo, tbe great man. We pray for your protection and safety all the time. Stay positive Gonz.

I too agree with your statement regarding the Western Leadership's miscalculations in their use of their sanctions and their hubris place in this world.

Gonzalo is the clearest and concise communicator that I never get bored of watching.

This is excellent. Love what's going on in your head. True thought and comprehension. I've said several times on your show, The US has no opposing side to the coup. No one truly capable. The future is frightening.

Dude kills the game on a cigarette break.

Ciao a tutti dall'italia.

And so it shall be forever and ever! Russia stood, is standing and shall stand forever! ❤

I remember my dad telling my late brother and I that the Chinese would eventually in a way take over the world that was in beginning of the sixties. He would be surprised by how the Chinese have accomplished so much in so little time . His prediction has almost become true. As the years had past I have to recognize my dad as a leader to have us sit down and have conversations with him, which now I say they were debates to express ideas and talk about what was going on in the world and country USA and Mexico 🇲🇽. My dad use to tell us to be leaders not sheeps. To think by ourselves and analyze what we saw,read or hear, now day people are to busy or preoccupied with making a living or wanting to live someone else through the social media, but in a way is just excuses for not taking responsibility as citizens, it doesn't matter where we live. You are not alone in thinking the way you do, there's a lot of people with the same thoughts of how the leadership of the USA is destroying this country and yes your are correct the leadership of this will use nuclear weapons as soon they see that they are losing. They will choose to destroy the world before loosing face. Como dice El dicho "ni Para Dios ni Para El diablo" thank you 😂😂😂😂

As someone said if you want to go to war, know both yourself and your enemies and you will win a thousand battles. Guess the US and EU still has yet to learn this lesson 😂😂😂

Decades ago a well-known economist (forgot his name, perhaps von Mises?) said: The first lessons of economics are not economic theories, models, statistics, and math. The first and most important lesson is: Psychology; understanding (and predicting) human behavior. Economics is human thoughts in action. NONE of these so-called economists of today took even Psychology 101 in their universities.

RIP soul friend!😊

GL is a financial analyst - he knows what he's talking about

All empires have fallen due to miscalculation; all had a specific triggering or catalyst event in their sunset period, triggering a hastier or a well pronounced accelerated decline. We just did it...

Average Americans are starting to realize we're losing in Ukraine. No one wants to talk about it but the moment someone has the balls to start the conversation, yeah, it's not good, no one believes our government.

No! Your video was very good! The last third, about leaders in the collective West was very accurate and undeniable. You verbalized it excellently !

As a Hungarian, in Hungary, i can only repeat Olivér Várhelyi EU Commissioner's words on hotmic: "Hány hülye van még?!"

Shame on the Zelinski regime for imprisoning G.L. For an opinion. God Protect him.

America is like the middle aged man who can’t accept that he’s no longer 18. 😊

Within a minut the cigarette is lit and that is when the fun part for us listeners starts.

You talk a whole lot of sense Gonzalo. Love your solo videos.

8:00 100% agreed, its because most of EU and US goverments never been and seen China from inside!! just visiting China and see cities, infrastractures show clearly they surpass Western world long ago.

You coined a great sound bite... "Understand what's going on."

Another big problem the USA has right now is that our young people are squishy-soft and work-shy, if not downright riddled with serious psychological problems. And I will agree with the conservatives that school administrations pressuring troubled kids into thinking that they are transgender when they're probably not is no sort of answer!

Prayers for Gonzalo and his family. I pray he is just laying low and was not arrested at the border. He must have been right about most things...

So excited to watch your vlogs. Best content on KZfaq!

one of the few voices or reason in this world; Live long life Gonzo!

I love your insight. I'm so glad to see you are still making content.

I love it when you are all over the place you speak from the heart and the truth, we need many more people like you in this world 👍🇦🇺

Gonzalo spitting truths as usual.

The problem is , we became so unbearable vain.

I miss mr. Gonzalo. Great man

“When exposing a crime is treated as committing a crime, you are being ruled by criminals!” - Edward Snowden

Vietnam has to live next to China. How do people think they managed to remain independent after thousands of years next to China?

Poor leadership and strategy⁶Thank- you! !

Yup you are 100% correct.

As an ex smoker I'm getting cravings watching your videos

They believe their own propoganda, and won't consider any alternative views.

They are doing the things they accuse Russia of

Praying for your safety and FREEDOM 🙏 🙏 🙏 🙏

I think the west forgot that Russia-having survived the soviet era, never forgot or abandoned the secondary economy that seemed to pervade in the socialist block nations.They learned to survive under harder circumstances-sourcing new goods and services comes naturally.

Even when you ramble, you are always spot on. You always say what everyone is thinking! Thanks again CRP!

Thanks again, coach Gonzalo, for spitting out the truth, the truth and nothing but the truth. Wish I had a smoke to confirm your prayers...

Direct result of replacing meritocracy with idiocracy.

Dont sweat it, Coach. It was an entertaining video, as always!

FJB! Let’s go Brandon!

Ron Paul had it right. Just trade with other countries. Don't militarily intervene unless first attacked.

Intresting analysis. I was hoping the worse it gets the more chance of the elites splitting.

Truth telling 🔥

Thanks for the honest insights about the world.

Hahahaha! Thanks for sharing what’s going on in your head Gonzalo! ❤

Biden's latest gem is that he's going to leverage the position of Fannie Mae to impose additional fees on mortgage borrowers with a credit score over 680 and give a discount to borrowers with bad credit 😂

'Kakistocracy.' - a government by the least suitable or competent citizens of state. - a government run by the worst least qualified or most unscrupulous citizens.

Your talk made perfect sense and I have also been thinking along the same lines coincidentally

Understand what's going on in my head, is a great tag.

You are absolutely right Gonzalo.

Half of us in Taiwan just wish U.S. to leave us alone, although our current government tells otherwise abroad as if we were all united against China!

RFK Jr. is showing some leadership.

For a leadership class we have yet one more Kennedy running for president. When does this entrenched, dystopic, dynastic, dysfunction stop. Enough with the Kennedys, the Obamas, the Clintons, the McCains, the Bushes, the Pelosi's, the Schumer's. It all must end.

So sad my generation born between 1960 and 80's are ruining this world with the early adoption of crazy over wokeness that has created todays mess were in !

And what if it was not the 'miscalculation' ? OK. The reaction of the Russian market was difficult to predict, even for them, because they work on the assumption : -'Russia is weak'. Sanctions can be 'weaponized' (everything can be), but still it's hard for me to believe, they didn't know, how it would be working on Europe - if 'for', or 'against' it. I have the constant impression, they knew perfectly, that it would weaken Europe and they meant it, as their main purpose was and still to ditch Europe and depopulate it with all means possible. Maybe only that was 'miscalculated', it didn't do any harm to Russia, but in my humble opinion, they knew, it would cause further harm to Europe, which happened on their wish and in accordance to their purposes. Thank You, Gonzalo. Greetings.

I like you and your videos. Thank you!

The world, is all over the place, your commentary, was spot on. We, are in the fog of war.

It's always good to hear from this dude.

Right on Gonzalo!!!

Very fluidly put and well reasoned. Keep ‘em comin man.

As the saying goes; you can’t fix stupid... arrogance with fanatic ideology is a deadly recipe for disaster

Big up Gonzalo!!!👍💪

Yup, the alternative is just as stupid as the ones in charge here in Canada

Interesting world 🌎

100… honestly this video among some of your best. You hit the bulls eye more times than none. Thank you, and please stay safe over there

Outstanding, Gonzalo. One hundred percent spot on.

ok so where the "F" will we be getting components for prescription drugs!?!?

How did they make their mistakes re sanctions? Easy. Garbage information in mean’s garbage results out.

We are tired of the warmongering from our side.

El tema del PIB es importante, creyeron que Rusia era débil por tener un PIB “pequeño”, craso error.

I agree with you. I don't give up easy, I want to stand and fight for my country, but with so much going on and us being in the 🎯 (like you said incompetent leadership, such horrible miscalculations that a 5 year old could see through some of this), I've actually considered to see if I qualify for Italian citizenship through my family that immigrated to the USA. Europe and Italy have their own messes, but I don't know, at least Georgia Meloni is trying to take care of her people. My daughter thinks South America is where we should go. Pros there too, but I don't know. Being a foreigner in a worldwide economic crash is a big deal. I keep saying that I don't know. 😬😄 It's my first war and economic collapse.

🎉👍thank you

Thank you

God bless mother Russia Fight strong, live long WIN THIS

KZfaq won't let me leave a comment live

I matched you smoke for smoke😂 Great video. Thank you.

Love you@Gonzalo ❤❤

@Gonzalo Lira Greetings from Tokyo Japan Blessings to you Any chance of a Opinion on the pushing and growth in the use of Artificial Intelligence in the public and private domain and it's consequences please. Enjoying your analysis about the US and geopolitical situation.

I don't think you were all over the place. I think the talk was clear. We have a problem not just with our current leaders, but with the leadership class itself. And this is due to how leaders are actually chosen and the process they go through to arrive where they are, which selects incompetence and insular thinking.

Gonzalo you nailed it. Most sensible ppl also ask that question. Because China became so big what on earth are the Americans so scared of? And yes China never ever dictate like the Americans. I have a friend in China and he says China is much much better than any western country to live in. Again Gonzalo thank you for your truthful valuable input.

And they are doubling and tripling down on their sanctions debacle.

Even an Argentinian from Buenos Aires can agree with a (very) sound, accurate, analysis/description from a Chilean (and American, whatever the ratio) based in Kharkiv. 😊😊

You misspelled “delusional tyrants”
