I’ve been saying this for 20+ years. I banked my career path on it I thought it so much, heading up an ETF project that was based on the markets struggling due to Government not being able to sustain its spending.
It’s going to happen, sadly it won’t happen soon and it gives bs out for politicians to take

Sanctions won’t do ****. If you hear that being said, just call it out for the bullshit it is.
They will ally with someone else and maneuver their way around it it like every country does.
The UN is and has always been joke. All these things that Trump called out were true - I knew it before he even ran. Media called him a liar for it and it infuriated me.
Here’s the thing about Trump. He’s an arrogant borderline narcissist *******. And I don’t give a ****. He’s so transparent about it that it’s obvious to anyone with a brain. But he’s got balls and doesn’t fear failure.
To paraphrase The Big Short—Would I buy a used car from him? **** no. But I’d sure as **** send him in to sell that car for me.
He had the balls to make the threat to not do it and you didn’t know what cards he held. Putin didn’t try him cuz he wasn’t a pushover, and Purim’s not a madman or and idiot. Biden is an embarrassment to this country and the world. He’s obviously got dementia and shouldn’t even be in office (that’s not an insult as much as it is fact) but Democrats played the destroy the US card to beat Trump and I’ll embarrass anyone in a debate about it who tries me otherwise

Putin may have put himself in a bind. If he wanted to just get the disputed territories, he could have done so easily. Biden essentially gave him permission to do it when he said they wouldn't do **** about a minor incursion. But he seems to be going after the whole country, and he has tanks rolling over civilians.
His problem is that he's getting resistance and it's not a cake walk. The big bad russian army isn't looking looking so scary. This war is televised so if he goes with brutal tactics like bombing civilians, then they have set themselves up to be outcasts.
Putin's main worry now should be that if he doesn't pull this off, he might get cancelled Epstein style by his own people.

Nothing I disagree with here. But like I said. Trump isn’t president. We are in the now. I hear you about the sanctions.....but ****.......like it or not they had to look like they were doing something.
I mean.....what would you do if you were in charge right now. Do you threaten to blow up the Golden Arches in the square? Do you say what Biden said about don’t dare attack a NATO country? Do you sit back,play the waiting game. While Ukraine gets taken over? Ukraine is the second largest country in Europe.
Serious threats against Russia is a little different than threatening North Korea or Iraq. The world knows that The US is the ultimate Super Power if it decided ever to use its superior weaponry. But I am sure the Russians could inflict a **** of a lot of damage as well.

Not a chance. Cancel **** doesn’t exist there. That’s the pathetic lib **** here.
There—they have real problems and he’s playing right into them by - unabashedly trying to reunite the Soviet Union. They don’t give two ***** about “cancel” bullshit. We really are pathetic with that here. I’m embarrassed to hear that I almost want a foreign power to attack us to wake us up from “woke”. Even millennials here and now have no clue how much it was a concern it was nuclear war could happen and was very real. My generation lived with it. Today’s generation has zero clue because it’s been 20 years since we had an attack that hit close to home.
Don’t underestimate the 2nd rate economic power with the aggressiveness of what military can do. History proves that to be stupid
Madness!

You and I had a debate about two years ago on this very topic. I argued that China is going to push to have the yuan replace the dollar as the world currency, and if that happens, the United States is basically done. The ONLY reason the United States can spend $1.9 trillion it DOES NOT HAVE is that the dollar is the world currency, meaning there are so many worthwhile (backed) dollars in the world's economy that the unbacked $1.9 trillion pushes inflation (no doubt), but nowhere near what would be the case if the dollar was not the world's currency. I stated that even then, spending a trillion unbacked* dollars we do not have will trigger inflation.
You believed that the world would not accept the yuan as the world currency for the reason that the Chinese government is totalitarian and secretive.
* When I refer to "unbacked" dollars, I am not referring to just backed by something like gold. I am referring to the printed money backed by increased production of goods and services that require the additional currency to reflect the additional value being produced. When Apple produces a phone that is also a computer and television, and the market wants to spend $100 billion on that product, the production of currency needs to reflect an additional $100 billion in value produced.
The same is true for every other good and service - make more cars and refrigerators in this country, need more currency to reflect the value produced. The increased currency does not cause inflation since that money simply goes to buying the additional value being produced. Inflation arises when the government simply churns out currency, without any goods or services backing up the additional money - hence, the currency is "unbacked."
Crazy ****.
