@Atharva Raut broo
What is the use of India being 5 th richest if YOUR family members Don’t get food or meal to eat
@Bah Humbug atleast Pakistan doesn’t bow down to anybody like u
No resolution is possible until the Rajpaksa clain is hanging by their necks in public. That’s called justice, and without it, you can F yourself.
He didn’t say anything really. Of course he needs to do these things but how will he help Sri Lanka accomplish them?
he won’t
Warning to all nations, don’t squeeze the middle class by taxing the life of them and don’t give hardship to farmers, they both are the backbone of any society.
Warning to all nations, don’t rely too much on China (especially PAKISTAN) Because China has a wonderful history of using countries like tissue paper
well they’re socialist
All he said was blah blah blah 😂 we are working on it.. You are screwed either way by following the west.. Go side with Russia you will be better
No one cares
Chinese debt trap
He said nothing
He is the biggest donkey of Asia, bet he is going to be reelected, that’s houw things work in a banana republic
Let;s Kick Gota And Ranil@Already Destroyed Sri lanka
Lebanon sri Lanka and the line of failed state countries is growing.
Yes and Lebanon and Sri Lanka wasted billions on buying weapons and the military thats why they are suffering. Sri Lanka spends 15% of GDP on the military while 14% is spent on education. 1 soldier per 40 people in Sri Lanka while North Korea have 1 soldier per 13 people India 1 soldier per 600 people
India is next, ill come back to this comment to remind u all that i predicted the crissis 🐄
May be in your dreams it will happen such a fool who does not know about economy
This world relies too much on fossil fuels. Prime example on what chaos future entails when earth run out of fossil fuels/natural gas
This guy is a 🤡
Sri Lankan “leadershit” is not responsible for this all.It’s Sri Lankan bureaucracy.Sri Lanka is in deep trouble but Sri Lankan bureaucrats probably will be very rich after this all.
That’s what happens when you have corrupt politicians who happily sign away dark water deals with the Chinese. 10% of GDP debt owed to the CCP.
I hope the people can pull together.
PAKISTAN now-🥶🥶🥶
Idiots thought US and China will help them but no. Now they are begging Russia
No country next to India can be competitive. They should merge with India through referendum
Planned agenda by the weak evil ones rolls on total control of humanity mind body soul c energy slaves
Pray everyone pray. It’ll get worse from here on down. Nothing will be better not even a new leader can do anything. Only God Almighty can turn things around. Cry to him.
🇧🇩😓
watch him sell sri lanka to the imf
Jihadi news channel
You sold out to China, you believed their promises and turned your backs on your traditional trade partners. This has happened to nearly every country that went into business with China and now owes them enormous debts. Did you really believe they would give you all that money for nothing? They now own you… you will be paying them off for the next 50yrs, either that or you give them all your resources and produce. You were played… and now you want the people you turned your backs on to come and save you. But it’s only the common civilians that will suffer, the politicians who did the deals with China will still have their ‘large payments’ hidden away to survive on… they won’t lose out. Only the tax payers.
bro no fuel for 2 weeks and lng supplies are low and expensive atm, they are doomed
Just merge with India. Smaller Nations are most vulnerable. If India is unpalatable then ask China to take them as Colony till things improve.
Somewhat true, as China already owns a portion of Sri Lanka for unpaid debts.
And who will pay for all of their outstanding debts and their food, clothing and shelter? No thanks.
Plz help sri lanka
The people who voted for these fools will come forward and help.
@Russel Westbrook yea they give them more than 2/3rd of the seat in parliament
Qatar, Where is your petrol for lanka ? Qatar backstabbed lanka. Inshallah, allah will punish Qatar for not supporting lankan brothers in the time of crisis. Inshallah, katar will perish soon.
Qatar has it’s own problems
@Against the Tide what?
Are they just waking up? They have been silent for 20 years when a single family ruled the country and were so happy when Rajapaksa won the election.
He dont’t sound very competent !
You should see the other guys 😂😂
He is a very elderly and seasoned politician.
🤔 India and China are getting discounted oil from Russia. Perhaps they can help Sri Lanka get over this hump?
@Kody Meyers : I would explain more if I actually know what you’re talking about. Now stop pretending to be an American, or European, because you’re neither.
@Kody Meyers poor English
@Kody Meyers You’re not making any sense. Type in the language and script you’re comfortable with.
@warnpassion I see you have many accounts where you can go for the backup 😅 pathetic.
End the IMF!!
Nice video!! Very engaging from beginning to end. Nevertheless, businesses and investment are the easiest way to make money. When it comes to the world of investing,most people don’t know where to start.fortunately,great investors of the past and present can provide us with guidance
I wanted to trade crypto but got confused by the fluctuations in price
I heard his strategies are really good
@Eddie Jim yhou messed it up, the spam bots have yet to add your nigerian price crypto scammer
Even crypto cannot save Sri Lanka now.
Gotta love Karma…..Gota good job 👏 🕺🏾
Karma in what sense?
What did they do to deserve this?
@sen309200
What wrong did Sri Lanka do to the world to deserve this?
@Dushani Sayakkara Tamil genocide.
Everyone remember history. We had global economic troubles right before both World Wars. Stay safe and stay sane.
Just buy electric vehicles lol
no more gas, everyone go electric vehicles.
Philippines is next, all prices gone up! we need international help!
I guess SriLankans need to introduce the Rajapaksas and their cronies to the guillotine.
Where is eu?
Not the EU’s problem.
Why Lanka is flop, majority speaks multi crossbreed Singala language due to that economy collapsed.. They should should speak either English or Tamil then srilankan economy will be like Singapore.. 👍
He’s wearing klus suit
Country is already going through worse and citizens are damaging public property in the name of protest. 🤦🏼♂️ I Declare Dictatorship.
I pray for you all In the name of Jesus Christ! May you ask him to help you and he is the only way to provide in this world! Pray to God the Father and he will save you as he did in Exodus with his people out of Egypt! It’s time to cry out for God and your cry for him will be Heard! Don’t count on your Government for salvation it’s God and Jesus Christ we need to restore peace and wisdom and the end of human suffering . Amen ✝️♥️
the exodus was of the hebrew people , long before jesus even lived, jesus has nothing to do with the exodus,lol.
Do you want people to pray to God the father or Jesus the son? Are they 2 gods? Also as someone pointed out, Jesus wasn’t around in exodus time. So was it god the father who saved them and not Jesus the son?
@masale ramses the great was actually the supreme lord incarnated, he protected the builders by granting them the leave they so desired. jesus was an empowered living being, not any god, there is only one supreme lord. but remember that the lord is so great, that he makes his pure devotees even greater. so theres total credit given to jesus. just not for the exodus lol.
@masale if you doubt that ramses was the supreme lord himself, simply compare ramses many face statues with lord Krshna, you will clearly see. even his wife is identical as Krshnas eternal consort. the deities are all there you can compare with your own eyes. and study the past times youll understand that they are one and the same person. ;-p
Rajapakshas go jail , ranil wickramasinghe go jail, currpt couple🤮, we need education , we need food, we need electricity, we need fuel, we hate you both president & all ministers🤬,
Hardship only to the people. Not for the politicians ,their families, relatives and supporters . People want this corrupted government to step down. They hold it because if they step down they all going to go to jail .
pussa.( mr mt balls)
Stop begging and go to work.
How daring you hijab prblm quran prblm ha wow 😂😂😂😂now ur situation
This guy Ranil Wickremasinghe is a useless fellow. 6th time prime minister. He and his party lost last parliamentary election. He came to the Parliament through the back door. He is telling shortage of dollars, but doesn’t talk about the corruption or how the dollars vanished from SL. He is no different than Rajapakshah’s
Elect a socialist and your economy collapses? I’m shocked
Mentel Ranil Go home
*Remember 2009 Tamil Genocide…*
Karma has no menu. You get served what you deserve.
Imagine ,a government cannot maintain a tiny country,what about large countries
China Debt trap caused this.
Dealing with China~ new colonial era
Sri Lanka is the best example of , how the corrupt Leader can destroy his own country. Only one Rajpakshe family destroyed this small beautiful country..!
too much of a corrupt country, this is what happens…
Hi everyone! 😊
What a very good day!!
Anglo-Saxon US lapdog Australia PM Scott Morrison get lost after the last election a few weeks ago.
Now latest casualty, another US lapdog UK PM Boris Johnson is finished but wil act as a caretaker PM until Oct when a new PM comes in.
These 2 strong Anglo-Saxon US lapdogs who are acting unashamedly for the global shxt stirrer US against mainland China are now goners!
Anglo-Saxon US lapdog Canada, when is PM Trudeau turn to go??
What a fantastic news!!
Ha Ha Ha!!! 😂😂😂
Country starved of Petrol talking about exporting renewable energy?
Another socialist falls
These buggers are keep printing money. They increase the government employees in huge number and use government jobs for spread their political influences. Now we have a unsustainable government work force whò don’t bring no income. Then government is run out of local currency to pay monthly salary They start to print. Because of that in every month the inflation will be high. But no one want to talk about it coz’ every one has a someone who work in government sector so they don’t want them to get unemployed. Without fixing this there is no green. When people (mostly low income families) realised the difficulties from the inflation and start to protest government offer small allowance and manage to drag down the situation for few more months. How do they find the money of course they keep printing. Any political parties docent want to take action against government unsustainable spending or any against government workers. Also the people also docent want or care about that. I actually don’t see a future in this country. Really hurts. No more future dreams. Just trying to survive.
