This is the pump before the dump. Institutional investors are slowly exiting and retail investors are making up most of the volume.

We were due for a correction or crash but Biden and the Fed held it off long enough for the election. There is a lot of money sitting on the sidelines waiting to grab assets, housing etc on the cheap.

Grifters like Trump can’t wait to get it started. In every crisis there is opportunity what Trump does with this crisis will likely reshape our government.

Not really feasible. The US has intelligence assets, spy satellites, AWACs, munitions spare parts, etc. that Europe can’t easily replace or doesn’t hold the rights to distribute to Ukraine without US consent.

There is a reason the US doesn’t have universal healthcare.

FDIC insured up to $250,000 per account. So it’s mainly the little guys who enjoy the protection. FDIC did make all accounts even those over $250,000 whole.

But yes if the Orange Baboon and Electric Hitler decide to fuck with the FDIC I would pull the bulk of my funds and look for offshore safe havens.

Perhaps the Afgani’s and Palestinians shouldn’t start fights they can’t finish.

Absolutely, they are destroying the rules based order with no fucking clue as to what will replace it.

Wow you sound sooo smart! Waaay more smart than me, a dumb American!

Please educate me on the date that the EU began to field an army?

I 100% agree.

For at least the next 4 years I would not count on the US honoring any security arrangements. Any intelligence shared with us is likely going to be passed to Russia.

Russia was a peer adversary and we had a very intelligent and calm president at the time.

Today France can’t project power into Africa without the US providing logistical support and our President is nuttier than a fruitcake and is itching to let the military off the chain with any pretext to annex Canada.

Dream on.

We’ll be around. We may not be a democracy but we’ll be around.

China though, it’s cooked .

You must be smoking some good shit.

The US did not allow nukes in Cuba in the 60s. We very nearly had a nuclear war over it. You think the US will roll over and allow a second tier power like France to do it now?

China will be lucky if they still exist as a single unified nation. Demographics, employment, debt, over built property market, over dependence on manufacturing exports, energy import dependence, food import dependence.

They have a number of very strong headwinds that could very well cause the failure and break up of the CCP in the next twenty years.
