What a formidable guest and first rate interview! Thank you -I would love a copy of his book as offered.

If the raping of Yeltsin era Russia was the biggest act of piracy ever then Bill Browder must rate as one of history’s longest and loudest martyr’s. Despicable bastard.

The author talks of course of, The Harvard Boys, of whom Jeffrey Sachs was perhaps the leader(?) and is currently doing a grinning Dershowitz: what revolting chutzpah.

This question of German industrialists is precisely what I’ve been cogitating. They do not have time to develop political tools to represent their interests (IMO) as calamity draws near like winter. Someone is going to have to corral and control the inevitable crowds who will hit the streets to effect.

As an unamusing note: Saint Attenborough of Richmond was my long term neighbour in the street my wife was born but surely did not appreciate my telling him off for construction rubbish. He is surrounded by ants/sycophants himself…

I too have been puzzled by the passivity of the German business class. Why on Earth are they consciously acquiescing to this precipitous descent into economic suicide? Do they not realize what is happening??

It’s fascinating, yes. Some point to an assumed German passivity and or desire to follow established rules etc but this, to me, is not entirely convincing. Business is business it would seem so I’m flummoxed.

Safe to say it could be a very *interesting* winter, especially if, as now seems likely, Germany literally runs out of gas at some point.

Great admirer of Alex Krainer; many thanks for this fantastic discussion. I'm confident that Germany and the rest of Europe will eventually realize its long-term future lies with Eurasian integration, but that may still be quite some time off. Perhaps we need a new generation of leaders who are not so ideologically beholden to the trans-Atlantic alliance and captive to the UK/US Deep State. Things will most likely get worse here before they get better.

I followed you assiduously re. Syria, Maidan.....seem to have gotten tunnel vision lately.

Glad to be reminded via Alex Krainer whose substack I only just discovered.

Will forward via email. Your voice tells it all. Godspeed.
