What about the Jewish Mob? You know like the Rothschilds who literally own 2/3rds of the Earth and their net worth is into the Trillions of dollars. They print our currency, and answer to no one! Now that’s power!
Neither…when it's all love, strength is measured differently
Who cares
Russian mafia: “We fear no man. But that thing”. looks at guy covered in blood wearing a chicken mask and holding a pencil and baseball bat “He scares me”.
Well I can actually pronounce Italian names while Russian is giberish
I grew up across from Sheepshead Bay in Brooklyn.
My public school was in Brighton Beach.
Starting around 1990, I noticed a lot of Russian Jews in Brighton. Almost got into a bunch of trouble with a few of them.
Luckily, I survived. Survived collecting money for a Wedding for a guy in the biggest Mafia family in NY.
Very lucky a made guy stood up for me. It's was
Thisclose!
Won't discuss names. Can't imagine what you've been through Michael.
I've had a bomb planted in my car engine. Crazy nut come on stage, during show, put a gun to my head. He was insane.
Everyone in the audience was laughing, thinking this crazy guy was part of our show!!!
After a few minutes, the audience realized it was real.
The entire show kept playing for 10-15 minutes, without anyone in the entire club except us on stage, and the maniac.
Eventually, security got him.
It was just insane. It happened in Providence R.I.
Michael, you've probably been through many situations like that. Incredible pressure when we realize we have no control over our living or dying.
I've had a few more similar to those mentioned above.
I too Michael, have lived quite an interesting life.
Thank God we're still here!
God bless you and your family Michael.
The main reason the italian mafia was more powerful than Irish, albanian, jew ecc.. is because of the second world war. They assisted the USA military to take over Italy via Sicily because Italy was in a strategic position against Hitler. After the war, the USA let most of the south of Italy under mafia control, and that is when the italian mob level up, becoming from a countryside land supervisor to a international mafia group. Also the war gives the italian mob the chamce to get connections to the hierarchy of the USA.
Hello Michael Francese, why don't you try to organize a podcast with Nicola Gratteri or Roberto Saviano??
What about the Jewish mob
Italian Mafia vs Mexican Cartels
I would love your opinion on that one.
The Russians
They don’t follow the code the Italians do. They’ll go after people the Italians would never touch (family members ect)
I gotta disagree..
BOTH organizations are perfectly capable of making you dead, if they decide that is necessary.
Any danger beyond that is purely hypothetical, because you'll be dead, after which there is nothing more they can do to you.
Effectively, they are equally dangerous.
Mr Michael please do a sit down with Danny Trejo
🇮🇹🍕. 💪🏻
I think the big difference between Russian and American Mob guys is they had a government that would kill them at the drop of a hat? Here in America the criminals were innocent until proven guilty? For Russian criminals that out maneuvered the KGB, these dudes were fearless!
Italian mob vs US marines I wonder what he thinks about that
Respectably put.
Fascinating dichotomy, and topic in general.
The Italians also had a 100-year head start
That gas tax scheme was genius.
PUTIN 🇷🇺 THE MOST MOB BOSS IN THE WORLD 🌍
I'd just as well not find out.
Its all over now act normal thank you❤️😇😎
Hi from Finland!
You talk about doing favors, in which case the person is also in debt to do the favor???
What would happen if the person refused to do the favor in return?? 🤗
But the Italian mafia was different from the Italian/American mafia
I feel like Italian is more organized and Russian is more impulsive personally but i don’t know this is just what I personally think but I don’t know let make that clear
Russians are already dangerous sooo
If ya did what ya did today would the raise ya up like Elon or would the irs epsten ya
Good Job Michael, and I agree based also on these other facts as well: The Italian Mafia is more structured we’re the Russian Mafia does not really have any real structure, The New York Mafia and Chicago Mob are Low Key, we’re the Russian Mafia is not secretive in any way, they don’t hide that they are gangsters but in my opinion that’s a bad move cause now they are no longer under the radar, We did have Mafia members like Gotti who had no qualms about he was but even being on Time Magazine was more key then
Them cause he didn’t ask for it, the media would come at him for photos and interviews and questions and he just wasn’t rude as most people say he was a polite man. Keep the classic content coming Mike!
Government steals money from the people, it's legal.
Mafia reclaims money from the government that they stole from the people, it's a crime.
How do u measure "dangerousness"? Imo, a good metric could be body-count and the willingness to up that number.
Italian is joke !
Franzese were never in touch with actual Russian mobsteres. Just some far outlier guys. Organized crime is very territorial. Of course there is no Russian mob in America. The organization and the structure is far more secretive and obviously just like the american-italian mob no one would let an outsider know anything.
You probably understand power now. Find an avenue for the truth
Swedish gangsters are nowadays the most dangerous groups in Sweden
I don't know much about all that,but I know one thing,your are gorgeous 🥰😊
