I have debated with Martin Armstrong in private email (have not publicly shared all of this) and he continues to build a strawman argument that the rumors of a CIA plot in Ukraine are the cause of people in the West not rising up to support the freedom of the Ukrainian people. See the following blog article:

Whether or not the CIA was involved is irrelevant to the fact that it is not the responsibility of Americans to create freedom for Ukrainians. The Ukrainians need to fight for their own freedom, just as we had to fight for our own freedom. Only Communists and Socialists would argue that it is the responsibility of others to do the responsibility that others refused to do for themselves.

The Ukrainians are in this mess because they didn't arm themselves over the past decades and were complacent on Russian dominance of their economy.

Martin wants some sort of Communist fantasy solution where we will top-down design the structure of countries to design in the best solutions economically. This is so idiotic because it completely ignores the fact that economics begins grassroots and if the people of Ukraine have been so inept for the past decades, then we can't top-down fix their ineptness.

Martin has revealed that he is a Socialist pig. And I very disappointed as I thought he was a free market advocate.

Also he has not disproven that the USA and Russia are manipulating the outcome (ostensibly, but not necessarily for my argument to be valid, for globalist agenda).

Until Martin wises up, I have relegated him to "great modeler of timing, astute historian, but completely inept economist and political scientist".

It is normal that individuals can be very gifted in one area and completely inept in other areas.

Whereas, I am arguably a polymath (becoming more apparent to me lately) and am astute in a wide range of fields.
