    Just outstanding.

    This is Robin Brooks:




    Now Robin isn't your average baldy male...oh no. Robin is one of the big players. Y'know: the people that help run the world:

    Chief Economist @IIF, former Chief FX Strategist @GoldmanSachs & Senior Economist @IMFnews.


    "Mr. Brooks joins the IIF from Goldman Sachs, where he was managing director of the firm's Foreign Exchange strategy team. Prior to joining Goldman Sachs, Robin was the FX strategist at Brevan Howard. Before joining the private sector, Mr. Brooks spent eight years as an economist at the International Monetary Fund, where he worked on the IMF's fair value models for FX, published academic research and participated in missions to IMF program countries.
    His academic research has been published in the American Economic Review, Brookings Papers on Economic Activity, IMF Staff Papers, Journal of Empirical Finance, Journal of Portfolio Management and Review of Finance.
    Mr. Brooks earned his PhD in Economics from Yale University in 1998. He earned a BSc in Monetary Economics from the London School of Economics in 1993..."


    Anywise, Robin has been applying his clearly quite extraordinary mind to repairing the problems in the German economy. This is Robins considered in-depth solution:

    What Germany needs

    1. Germany needs cheap Russian gas
    2. The way to get that is regime change in Russia
    3. Only then can Nordstream be turned on again
    4. A financial crisis may lead to regime change
    5. A lower G7 cap can produce such a crisis
    6. This is in Germany's best interest

    So... Germany needs cheap Russian gas: which it refused to buy.
    It needs Nordstream turned on again: which it allowed the US/UK to actually blow up...
    A financial crisis may lead to (Russian)regime change: something it has already attempted and failed.
    A lower G7 cap can produce such a crisis:..a cap that the Russians have already evaded.

    .

    So..
    ..all that mighty brain power and the great new insightful solution is the same old wishful thinking empire nonsense: "regime change for Russia".

    -Is it not both extraordinary and tragic that such mentally deficient people with captured minds are running the show and in such positions of influence? Were they always idiots and their rise highlights a serious systemic malfunction in our society: like, it's been fine tuned to select only total dunderheads? How on earth did all these clowns get there otherwise with no one noticing? Such a puzzle...

    Btw. Many of the btl comments are priceless...
