Really? Lol. https://wolfstreet.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/US-government-TIC-2024-11-18-share.png Just to give ONE example: But you live in your d...

Well, if you can or will save your Republic. It can also seen as the shrewd radical way to dismantle government bureaucracy... as the Trumpists will h...

History or reality begs to differ. Monetary economics is something that people should know. It truly impacts everybody.
February 18, 2025 at 10:11
Think about it. If all the debt that you put out is bought by your own central bank, what will that mean to the dollar? And by all means this isn't ju...

Think again where the public debt is. https://hubbardobrieneconomics.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/02/treasury-debt.png?w=1024 https://wolfstreet.com/wp...

Me too, but this is the problem with populist foreign policy. I really would hope that this is just one low point between Europe and the US and things...

Reserves of private banks aren't the same as the reserves kept by the central bank. Private banks use the given currency of the country, they don't ha...

Yeah. Coming from an administration that itself is a word police erasing wrong words government website and punishes new agencies if the dare to talk ...
February 17, 2025 at 22:43
How? You really don't know? This is the problem. Because your whole system of debt spending relies on this!!! You don't have to care about a possible ...
February 17, 2025 at 22:03
Since Trump basically is incapable of getting laws through, he just goes with executive orders. Just ask yourself: what legislation did he get through...
February 17, 2025 at 21:36
It can happen. Even is likely. At worst, Trump can walk out of NATO if he feels like it. I think James Ker-Lindsay put it quite well. Trump is lazy an...
February 17, 2025 at 11:12
Perhaps the past tense is apt here. But seems that many Americans really aren't seeing what is happening here. Americans don't seem to understand how ...
February 17, 2025 at 10:46
As Trump is doing the bidding for Putin, they don't have to. Trump is likely impatient to get the "peace agreement" on Ukraine as he promised, which t...

Your country isn't broke from 22 million dollars. Not even the 40 billion. It's the mandatory part plus the interest on the debt. Not the discretionar...
February 16, 2025 at 16:50
:rofl: Nothing close to diplomacy. In diplomacy you engage the sides, not leave them out and decide on yourself. And the attempts on war-profiteering ...

Assisting in the victory of Putin will play only to Putin and the Chinese. What a weak dick loser Trump is. Oh I found it myself. Zelenskyi publicly s...
February 16, 2025 at 16:24
I would correct that to "The American elan". The Republicans are happily cheering to this. They will remember things in democracy like the separation ...
February 16, 2025 at 16:09
Do you have something for reference on this? It's like selling the house for way under the market value, but then arguing that you benefit greatly fro...
February 16, 2025 at 14:46
Not the first time when Trump finds "waste", "the deepstate" and "lousy agreements" from the decisions his own previous administration did. But who ca...
February 16, 2025 at 12:42
And I would be very happy if I'm wrong and it won't be as bad. Giving up on Putin and giving Putin everything, Trump can be the largest weak dick ever...
February 16, 2025 at 12:37
Few things. First about deals, Putin can immediately give him deals (read bribes) or hints of deals which Starmer cannot absolutely do. Dictators can ...
February 16, 2025 at 12:10
Lol. :lol: Seems you don't follow Trump when he sees Putin or see his "allies". Oh, he has favorites. Trust me, when he believes Vladimir Putin more t...
February 16, 2025 at 01:04
Trump is the only declaring anything in this administration. But it's great days for Russia and China as Trump is rapidly eroding the US position. Tru...
February 15, 2025 at 15:11
And that's the issue that should be done. But there are good prospects for this. Assuming there's the will to do it. Just take for example drone warfa...

Vicepresident Vance gave a speech, well a scolding lecture, where he told Europeans that their threat isn't external, but basically their "pinko-liber...
February 15, 2025 at 11:07
Tells a lot. So you are uncomfortable with ethnic cleansing, but think it's an OK thing to do. Then you have absolutely no problem of understanding Na...
February 15, 2025 at 10:18
Which btw just shows how poor Hegseth is as secretary of defense as first impressions matter. That your first thing you say to NATO members you have t...
February 14, 2025 at 22:49
EU isn't part of NATO. Remember Ireland and Austria, Benkei. And Sweden and Finland haven't been long in And even EU might be far too cumbersome. The ...
February 14, 2025 at 21:58
Don't forget that Putin said that he wouldn't have invaded Russia if Trump would have been POTUS. (If you believe that, I guess you're the someone tha...
February 14, 2025 at 21:42
Nobody officially wants to talk about this, but it's obvious that now the security environment of Europe is rapidly changing. Trump is really doing a ...
February 14, 2025 at 18:52
And you cannot make this up, it's so hilarious: Remember when Trump ridiculed the idea of tanks running on electric motors as obvious woke nonsense? S...
February 14, 2025 at 09:44
Really? Are you? So you oppose the Trump Mar-a-Gaza plan? Usually in war it's the combatants that one fights. Yet not all the dead are Hamas members a...
February 14, 2025 at 07:09
Doubt would be good here. Look at how brilliantly it well the peace deal he made in Afghanistan went. Then also the Republic of Afghanistan was totall...
February 14, 2025 at 07:03
He's doing a brilliant job in keeping prices high and making them higher. But Trump can surely get the prices up from just 3%. I'm sure he will get th...
February 13, 2025 at 22:07
What really doesn't sound good is idiot Trump meeting Putin in Saudi-Arabia. Guess next he'll meet with Putin in the US. Because, why not. Actually a ...
February 13, 2025 at 21:47
Well, there has been always the possibility that Trump will fuck it up as he did with the surrender deal to the Taleban where he did through Afghanist...

One should remember the context of Hobbes, who lived through the English Civil War and saw how Commonwealth of England performed with it's lord Protec...
February 12, 2025 at 19:06
Impossible? So, according to you it is impossible to incite people to do something illegal? Well, there are many examples of this magical sorcery (acc...

With USAID the Trump supporters can be enthusiastic. I can fully relate that in Finland too: one certain crowd would be very happy if ALL developmenta...
February 12, 2025 at 12:18
But how long will that take for GOP to notice the bad outcomes. Just as with Brexit, the Brexiteers were for years ecstatic about leaving the EU and d...

Do you know how long it takes a court case to go to the SCOTUS? I don't, but I assume it does take time. And that is Musk's plan. He has been quite op...
February 10, 2025 at 15:31
Even more will happen with international relations... as things are going. Europeans at least have internalized that the US might not be there. This h...
February 10, 2025 at 14:49
This is the idea. This is why they are so rapidly trying to act without much if any thinking of what programs they cut. Basically this is an self-coup...

A bit off the topic, but only in the freezing north. In the south aurora borealis don't have the color or have very little color, they look like cloud...

Well, those that voted for him wanted that. We have already seen on term of his government, so there's absolutely no way to be surprised now on what h...

Have you considered Eleaticism? Parmenides and Zeno of Elea and all that?
February 07, 2025 at 05:14
Marco Rubio seems to be the only one that is a classical Republican, but he isn't Molotov enough for Trump. I assume Trump took him as to please the G...
February 06, 2025 at 23:13
Good luck with that. Let the supreme court think about it make a decision once the things have been already done. DOGE is just an example of executive...

Snow is nice. It's not the snow, it's when there isn't any snow and when it's pitch black dark, wet and raining. Imagine waking up and going to work a...

Too bad then that people take seriously what an US president says. Of course the better response would never to listen to anything Trump says or tweet...
