Why Don't The Russians Rise Up? Ishmael's Story, A Jewish Russian American Perspective

Image
I sat down with Ishmael, A Russian American for an episode of The Neoliberal Round Podcast,  https://anchor.fm/theneoliberal   to discuss what's going on in Russia and in particular, why don't the Russian people rise up? It was quite interesting and revealing. The episode featured Co-Host Maurice Smith.  We made several points on the podcast that is worth mentioning here: 1. Ishmael is a Jewish, Russian American whose Grandparents are from and live in Ukraine today. 2. Russians are against the war but are too poor to do anything about it as they spend their lives trying to survive; many can't even afford a washing machine. 3. All Russian males are automatically drafted into the army. 4. Elites are connected to Putin and would rather sell-off Chelsea FC than speak against or denounce Putin who has helped to grease the pockets of the oligarchs, many of whom are part of the same fraternity. 5. Why replacing Putin doesn't solve the problem of the Ukrainian invasion, as Puti

Question: Who won the trade between Russia and the USA, where Victor Bout, Death-Merchant was traded for Brittney Griner the WNBA-Star? And do you agree with John A. Castro, US 2024 Presidential Candidate, calling Former President Donald J. Trump's recent statement on Twitter, calling for more insurrection, "treasonous?" and Is It Ok to Mandate Having Health Insurance That Is Privatized? Brittney Briner, US and Viktor Bout, Russia We discuss these questions on the Podcast today, which features several contributors, Maurice, Joesph, Jermaine, Donte and Renaldo McKenzie, Host. The Episode is powerful and highly explosive with intense arguments between the commentators especially concerning the Brittney Griner release as it has become a contentious subject in America, given what the US had to give up to get the WNBA star. The episode is divided into three main segments where each of the questions above are discussed separately. The Neoliberal Round Podcast Episode on the U

➤  John Anthony Castro A US 2024 Presidential Candidate replied via Twitter  to Former President Donald J. Trump inciteful and violence-riddled #tweet for he had an #ulteriormotive-another #insurrection and demonstration of extremist violence against #democracy and the people and this great #USA. Mr. Castro said:  “And there you have it. He’s finally shown his true colors. He wants to terminate the #USConstitution. For those of us that are #ConstitutionalConservatives, we will go to any lengths to ensure this never happens. What’s the penalty for treason again?” #realJohnAnthonyCastro via Twitter He’s spot on and seems to be doing critical thinking and wide analysis here, looking beyond the surface of #donaldjtrump statements, which seems to resemble similar statements leading up the January 6 insurrection. Further, it would seem that Mr. Trump has not learnt anything. No #justice or accountability have been meted out to the minds behind the January 6 Attack. Only the foot soldiers and

Come, Let’s Reason Together: Is It Ok to Mandate Having Health Insurance That Is Privatized?

You can’t require people to do something that in order for them to do it they must pay huge sums of money to greedy insurance companies that sell the service the very law is mandating.  How do you support privatizing health or motor vehicle insurance.... can you really leave it up to private companies to provide the service that you have required people to have in order to drive or address their health? When those companies are about making money and at times drive up the cost of the service that affects drivers ability to submit to the law.  This really baffles me that we can be cool as a country of rational people who’d allow this nonsense, unreasonable and dangerous modus Operandi that creates an opening for abuse and criminality. You see when you require or expect a particular behavior or compliance to a law that you have privatized, it begs the question whether the law is about safety or profits; it colludes and corrupts the process of law.  You can’t tell  or mandate peop
